You didn't read the same article you quoted dude. > Though the study's conclusion gained a popular foothold and has been espoused by figures such as Bill Cosby in his famous May 2004 speech, a later study challenged its validity. In 2003, Karolyn Tyson, a sociologist, and William Darity, Jr., an economist, both at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, directed an 18 month study at eleven North Carolinian schools. The study concluded that white and black students have essentially the same attitudes about scholastic achievement; students in both groups want to succeed in school and show higher levels of self-esteem when they do better in school. You just want to use "acting white" as a euphemism for black students as underachievers. Those days are gone. Long gone. If you use that term these days around the youth, you will be laughed at. |
