Does anyone know, metaphorically speaking, what is meant that water rises to its own level, which is a law of physic?
Well, metaphorically speaking, it means that a person can only rise to the level of his or her own intelligence.
However, why this metaphor plays very hard on Black Americans who are descendents of slaves, intellectually speaking is that rising above the challenges is something Black Americans inherently shuns. Could perhaps this deficient intellectual appetite of Black Americans is one of the causes why Black Americans has the lowest educational scores compared to other races?
If this is so, how will or could Black Americans handle sovereignty or complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we can call our very own country with borders when that time comes?
What say you?
Make of that statement what you will, my brother. But the one thing that stands out to me while reading your blog, is that while you're writing about education, you make the most basic, elementay grammatical errors:
"... rising above the challenges is something Black Americans inherently shuns."
"... one of the causes why Black Americans has the lowest educational scores ..."
In each of those cases you joined a singular verb to a plural subject. Leave the "s" off "shuns" and replace "has" with "have" and you gain more credibility with this subject.
And while I haven't read most of your blogs, I've noticed a common thread of living "on a portion of this continent that we can call our very own". Are you serious? Do you really think that could and/or would ever happen? Get real. And, even if this fantasy ever actualized, let me ask you one thing: name a country that is governed by Blacks that has been successful for more than 10 years? What say, you?
