I agree totally. In Virginia Beach, the US Justice Department came down on the police entrance exam. Because it had some 'math' questions, it was deemed racist. The questions involved were as simple as "If your shift ended at 12:00 and you worked until 2:30 how much overtime did you work?". A sixth grade teacher gave the test to her class and all of them passed the math portion. The test was racist because the US government believes black people cannot do math that is required by the SOL's of every 6th grader. Who's being racist here? If your constantly told, you can't do math, as soon as it starts getting hard, your gonna start believing them. And it doesn't help when your peers are more worried about having the latest "Air Jordans, or tricked-out car" than getting the skills needed to buy them. Not everyone can be a sports hero, or famous rapper. But a lot of young people are fooled in to thinking that is the way to riches with out have to work hard learning skils like math. And certain politicians would have you believe that their party will help you by giving you breaks. Unfortunately getting a job your unqualified for because of some racial goal will only hurt you in the long run.
