Not so on both counts. The issue that you are trying to dodge is that you are making the racist claim that the gap in performance between white and non-Asian minorities cannot be reduced because the performance of these low performing blacks and Hispanics cannot be improved.
Here are your very words that I in my post
"Re: FCAT Results"
http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=7841717
called you out on - your words:
Quote:
"The Education Mafia proclaim their desire to Reduce The Gap. The implication---and what is probably their sincere desire, I will grant them that---is that they will Reduce The Gap by improving the academic achievement of the low achievers (and if they ever achieve that, I will be the first to nominate them for the Nobel Peace Prize, or something). They cannot do that, that is what they have been lying about, and they have caused a lot of damage in the trying."
You are trying to get away with the racist claim in question by your "low achievers" language which because of this racial performance Gap is very clearly code language for blacks and Hispanics.
And you put forth the racist idea that trying to improve the performance of blacks and Hispanics is harmful, as you say, "they have caused a lot of damage in the trying". Yeah, right, it's damaging to society to try to reduce this Gap between the performances of the races by trying to improve the performance of these "low performers" - as in "blacks and Hispanics".
And you no doubt will continue the BS argument that you've tried to get away with before, which is that this Gap - with upper case g - that you keep on about again and again and again has nothing to do with race.
Yeah, right - the emperor actually is wearing clothes.
I again say what I said at the end in this thread
http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=7843026
about your thinking that you are successfully covering things up when you are not doing anything of the sort. We can see right through it all.
