Why "Systemic Racism" Theory is Wrong about Economic Advancement
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a good article about the economic disparities between classes in the white community. It puts the lie to the notion that "systemic racism" is at the root of the failure of the black community to achieve economic parity.
From the article:
It's a good read.
Here is a good article about the economic disparities between classes in the white community. It puts the lie to the notion that "systemic racism" is at the root of the failure of the black community to achieve economic parity.
From the article:
The idea that persistent outcome disparities between racial groups
necessarily reflect or result from discrimination rests on a narrow,
misleading, and politically motivated portrayal of the empirical
reality. In what follows, I introduce and briefly discuss a number of
data points that call this narrative into question.
He goes on to do a detailed analysis of disparities among white groups showing how this is a function of a number of different factors, including I.Q., education, etc. and shows how different ancestry groups tend to stay in their own socio-economic group. It's a good read.

Indeed it is. It received one comment -- and one only -- to the effect that many say that the currently-employed tests of cognitive ability are themselves racist. I don't know how to properly answer that sort of accusation, short of obliging the accusers to design better tests. Maybe a better answer would be to invoke male bovine excrement, but that wouldn't solve anything.
I suppose the real question is "can a totally culturally-neutral cognitive ability test be made?" And I cannot answer my own question because it's certainly far outside my field.

It's the easy answer Dana; if tests don't make you look say they are racist. Racism is such an easy answer to a complex problem.
