Black people do not have a problem with lack of intelligence. And that's where the problem lies. Smart people (just as smart as any one else) not having the right opportunities like others to thrive and have their best potentials actualized.
And it's not up to me (or you thankfully, for that matter) to provide the exact methods. That's up to those who specialize in those fields.
Have I said, ever, that black people are less intelligent than white people? Nope, not even in the thread which was about IQ, income, and race. And in THAT thread, I was the only one who suggest pragmatic steps one might take actually to close the gap. I'm so racist that I advocated releasing prisoners who had received abnormally harsh sentences, and giving them real financial incentives for productivity and non-repeat-offending-- wonder who those might be, hmmmm?
I've suggested methods specifically meant to reduce bias in screening-- like a blind screening process, which would 100% remove cultural bias-- which you shot down anyway, for some reason. But eventually, you need some metric to determine which students will perform better. The best available education is important to all human beings-- I'd categorize it as a right-- and you'd damn well better have a metric better than skin color when you tell some kids that they won't be going to Harvard because they sunburn too easily.
You know, you had a lot to say about this issue right up until I asked the question HOW. You do not like the way universities select students. Fine. You should be able to show that the current system is flawed, and suggest improvements. Otherwise, you're just virtue signalling, and you are really not likely to contribute to a real solution to a problem you supposedly care deeply about.
I, right now, can list half a dozen metrics which would increase the percentage of black students accepted into universities without being explicitly racist in nature. Why can't you?
