This examination will explain why the PACEs, the educational “tEXtBoOKs” that ACE uses, employ excessive genocide and slavery apologia, why the schools in the ACE comics are segregated, and why they teach students that demons can physically manifest inside of them until they fully assimilate. Y’know, like the Borg from Star Trek.
somehow, i missed this post. but maybe that was a good thing because it pissed me off to no end now that i just read it. edit: reminds me of another racist Donald currently using the bible and religion for his own purposes!
you said: "Whites were more likely to know “regatta,” not because of innate intelligence, but due to the prior educational opportunities available to them."
not just prior educational opportunities, but social opportunities as well (which, in a way, is also educational, i'll grant that). whites, for the most part in this country, have always had better access to social currency and opportunities. this includes... sailing and recreational water activities, like at their segregated schools and country clubs. they probably knew what regatta was long before going to school because their parents were schmoozing at the local "members only".
and what happened when blacks had social and economic currency? see Seneca Village (which became Central Park, NYC) and the Tulsa Race Massacre that destroyed "Black Wall Street"...
Hey, thanks for the correction/context, I'll add that in right away. "social opportunities" is much more accurate. Learning that the SATs were made to perpetuate racist stereotypes short-circuited my brain there. Probably some of my bias showing too.

Thanks again for saying something!
my ire was directed at Donald, not you! (i added an edit at the top of my comment.) i appreciate the work you are doing!
Oh thank goodness :)
