I am going to ask everyone a question and I guess I will know what the responses will be, I know what mine will be.

Scenario 1:

You are a white police officer with another white police officer who have been called to a situation where there is a guy holding a hostage and he was holding a gun. The guy is black and now, he has decided to let the hostage go because he has a bigger prize in sight; the police officer. You have a gun, and the guy is simply not going to listen to reason, being totally off his head on crack-cocaine. What would you do, would you let him go as far as to shoot you because remember, he is not going to listen to you and you are his prize to brag about later on with his mates. Or, would you take him out because you felt your life was in danger? Do you value your life more, or his, knowing full well that he will not back down for anyone?

Scenario 2:

You are a typical family unit and you are proud that your son or daughter has passed the selection process to get into the police force with flying colours. You are very proud, even though it is the police force, you are proud of your own flesh and blood. Now, unfortunately, your son/daughter is in a situation where she is confronting a black man with a gun and just like the scenario above, he is not going to back down whatever he/she tells him to do. He/She is shot and the emergency services have tried their best to save his/her life, but no, she succumbs to her injuries. Now, how would you react, would you start crying and then go and hunt the guy down who did this to your own flesh and blood, or would you say that he/she deserved it?

Scenario 3:

Your son/daughter is a white police officer with another white police officer who have been called to a situation where there is a guy holding a hostage and he was holding a gun. The guy is black and now, he has decided to let the hostage go because he has a bigger prize in sight; the police officer. He/she has a gun, and the guy is simply not going to listen to reason, being totally off his head on crack-cocaine. Now, your son/daughter takes him out because they feel threatened by this moron, even though his gun is not loaded. What would your reaction be, would you support your son/daughter or would you support the blm and complaining about how white police officers always take out black peoples lives.

Lol, you're even more of a stereotypical thinker than I had realized.

Have you ever lived in America? How many times have you visited?

Why would I want to visit the United States?

... and there's the last of it. Pray tell, why should anyone regard your opinion as informed?

Without knowing the demographics of the student body as a whole (rather than just grad rates) it's hard to infer much outside the point that for one reason or another the students don't finish their programs. Perhaps they're transferring after getting their GE credits, perhaps they're dropping out.

But if blacks make up two percent of the student body, a 2% grad rate would be above average. Do you have baseline data?

No,
you are reading it wrong. The School is about half black as is our community. My daughter goes to school there.

The RATE of graduation is markedly lower not the school make-up,

Skin color should not have a segregating effect on graduation rate. I'm sure that it doesn't, it is a chosen culture that does, a chosen attitude.

[Little lunch]

So if you were black you wouldn't have chosen the same attitude that you think they have?
