The Black Dropout rate in Colleges and Universities is huge--Hardly any blacks that enter college or junior college ever wind up with a 4 year degree

3.53 is not that good of a GPA. You do realize that most schools use a 4.0 scale not a 3.53 scale, right? I'm so tired of having to heap praise upon a black for any accomplishment no matter how many other people excel beyond.

Powerful...

"In the year 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Education, blacks earned 146,653 four-year bachelor’s degrees from American colleges and universities. The number of blacks earning bachelor’s degrees was up nearly 3 percent from the previous year, 2006. In 2007 the number of African Americans earning bachelor’s degrees was the highest in this nation’s history. The figure was nearly 2.5 times the number of bachelor’s degrees earned by blacks in 1990..."

,...ahh, again, when dealing with radically poorly educated monkey mouth Whites, just simply know the facts. Racist Whites never know facts, as I've said, they live in a stereotype world, the struggle with knowledge and hate true education.

I'm sorry what was former President Bush's GPA at Yale University again?

"(His SAT score was 1206 (566 verbal, 640 math).

His cumulative undergraduate GPA at Yale was 2.35.)"

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0124133/bio

Go towards the bottom of his bio link here for his GPA...

,..So actually, clown, the White community accepts vastly lower GPA's, as compared to a 3.53....how about 2.35!!!!

You racist Whites that come here simply can not compete. You make fools of yourselves...

So you have met and know the claims, of all children, Black and White with GPA's of either 3.53 or less, to make the statement that all of the White children wouldn't be considered at academic excellence, where as all Black children with a 3.53 GPA or less would be considered at academic excellence?

,...Let me explain something to you, and then after I do you may consider seeking help from a mental facility near you...

You haven't met all Black, nor White kids with a 3.53 or greater GPA to qualify your retarded babble here!

A statement so blanket, instantly cancels itself out and renders the person who stated it as a moron worthy of mental health treatment if he/she truly feel such a statement is true...

There is no way, based on any form of tangible evidence to qualify such a blanket statement...
