Racism Chaser Rejoice! Affirmative Action Is Paying Off!

I wonder why the left leaning, liberal racism chasers of the blogosphere aren't  posting the below listed article? They aren't posting it because the data does not support their "bitch and moan", "blame whitey", "we have it so bad because of institutional racism" meme. Seems to me that affirmative action is in full effect--and we ya'll wonder why white folks question the competence of black professionals.

Some Minority Chances of Acceptance to Medical School Almost 10 Times Higher Than White/Asian

MarkJ.PerryMark J. Perry is a professor of economics and finance in the School of Management at the Flint campus of the University of Michigan
This is from his site: Carpe Diem
Data are now available from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) on acceptance rates at medical schools for all students (data here) and acceptance rates for minority students (Hispanic, Black or Native American, data here), by MCAT and GPA, for the years 2007-2009 aggregated.  From those data, I was able to create the table above for the acceptance rates for non-minorities (I'm assuming white and Asian), and compare to the acceptance rates for minorities, for those applicants with an MCAT score of 24-26 and a GPA between 3.00 and 3.19.  In the past, the AAMC used to list whites, Asians, blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans separately, but it now only provides data for two categories: all applicants and minorities, so I had to do the calculation myself to determine the non-minority acceptance rate. 

Perhaps the AAMC wishes to make the comparisons of acceptance rates by ethic groups harder, because the results above are pretty dramatic, and maybe this is what it is trying to hide?  This is just one example of many: for those applicants to medical school with an MCAT of 24-26 and GPA of 3.00-3.19, fewer than one out of 20 non-minorities will be accepted, while almost one out of two minorities will be admitted.  In other words, some minority applicants have almost a ten time greater chance of being accepted to medical school than their non-minority counterparts with the exact same credentials.  (Source)

So, basically what the AAMC is saying is if you are White or Asian and you can't score any higher than 26 on your MCAT or maintain a GPA above 3.19 then you are not intelligent enough to gain entry. However, if you are Black or Native American and  you score between 24-26 -- well, what more can we expect from you as you are clearly genetically intellectually inferior.  How paradoxical it is that Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive Fundamentalist Racism Chasers fail to see the racism inherent in Affirmative Action.

Deliberate Dumbing Down of America





"I was collecting research and most of the research I had were government documents or old books...one is a very important book that Carnegie Corporation published in 1934. That is probably the most important one of all to discuss since we don't have much time to go into all my research. That book was given to me by a very brilliant fellow who was in Naval Intelligence. He gave us his library. Carnegie Corporation commissioned the American Historical Association to do the research over a period of four years and the result was the AHA's "Conclusions and Recomendations for the Social Studies". The recommendation in the book was to use the schools to change America from a free, individualist economy to a planned, socialist, collectivist economy in the New World Order." (Source)

An Interview w/ Joe Clark

Joe Clark discusses the "woes and vexations" of public education in this circa 1982 interview. This man is indeed a national treasure, but as a black republican he is underappreciated by the masses. My friend and fellow blogger Attorneymom actually attended Eastside HS when Mr. Clark was principal so she can attest to the fact that he is indeed a reckoning force.




Part Deux



I wonder why there aren't more Joe Clarks in public education? I think the closest thing we have to it at this point in time is Michelle Rhee.
