Do you agree that dismantling "White Supremacy " includes ending "racist" tests such as the SAT and ACT because Blacks and Hispanics score poorly?

Question

Standardized tests are supposedly racist because blacks get the worst scores, followed by Hispanics, followed by American Indians, followed by whites. What the people who hate standards can’t explain is why Asians get the best scores. Nothing daunted, the Teaches College Press of Columbia University insists that “Dismantling White Supremacy Includes Ending Racist Tests like the SAT and ACT.” The SAT was started in 1926 to set objective standards and eliminate unfair, subjective evaluation. It’s got to go because colleges *want* to make unfair, subjective evaluations of students – in the name of diversity. That’s why more than 1,000 colleges, including the entire University of California system have either ditched standardized tests or made them optional. Diversity comes first.

Can I trust any doctor who comes out of a California college if I know that they are there because of their skin color and not their merit?

It’s pretty easy to explain scientifically, people just don’t want to hear it because it offends them.

Get rid of all that garbage. We need to get unions out of schools and the Democrats that have been running them since Civil Rights. Haven’t people figured out that the Left controls everything that could make the black community (as a whole) prosper?
Oh they will tell you they are doing everything they can, but are they really? When Republicans want to give you vouchers to send your kids to private school (all the Democrat kids go there) if a Democrat is in charge, it gets turned down.. Why?

In the 50+ years you’ve voted Predominantly Democrat, how has life been? Is Lyndon B Johnson going to be right when he said “I’ll have those ni**ers voting Democrat for the next 200 years?”
Stand up, please! Parties never switched on Slavery. Democrats will tell you they have, but ask them to prove it and they will come up with the softest of soft out of context word playing nonsense compared to something as simple as Joe Biden saying Blacks are too dumb to use a computer (just recently).

No. First race doesn't exist, science has prove it and so has historical record. You are talking about culture my friend. The issue clearly is Descendants of slaves in America don't care about the test or value school. I'm tired of people blaming Black people. NO it's Americans. The descendants of slavery have a culture in America that needs to change. You don't figure things out by studying the opposite. Study Success. Asians are at the top because they value school and have a culture that values success. The smartest person in my high school was Black and the 2nd was my white best friend. There is nothing wrong with darker people. Y'all need to stop with that. They issue is the culture for Black people in America is pathetic and im telling you this as a descendant from slavery. I hate Black American culture but I can't even say it because then im acting too white. Trust me I've seen bangers be the best at math to the point where it would piss me off. Black people aren't dumb and don't need a test change, they need a culture change. by the way a test doesn't mean u won't be successful in life. Plenty of millionaires are drop outs and people who did nothing during high school. Trust me I know them. People making millions but can only read at a 7th grade level which most people are right there actually. Hell guess what I make more than the 2 smartest people in my high school. Not because im smarter but because I understand how money is made. Work is the worse way to earn money. Anyway that is my rant. Racist stay downing others but never have talked to a Black person in their life. The gas station don't count. Stay downing Descendants of slavery but forget who were the devils behind it all.

Whites apparently scored the highest on IQ tests until about the mid nineties when Asians started scored higher then us whites. Facts are facts, I'd imagine it's because on average Asians are encouraged more determined to study but the Asians who partied like they were in training for the beer game Olympics woulds not be at the top of that bar.
Australia's medical board is committed in Diversifying it's medical students according to there online statement and we are seeing mostly Africans and Indians becoming doctors here which would be lowering the bar and excluding most qualified what doctors.
Human lives are being sacrificed on the alter of Divisibility.
In the end people will be hiring whites and Asians because most of everyone else will be substandard on average so then we with truly see real discrimination thanks to wokeness.
If I change Doctors I will be asking for a white one and I don't care who It offends.

To me, you don't scrap something only a fraction of the populace can't complete. You figure out what's going on with that fraction and try to bring them up to speed, not dumb shit down to make it happen.

You're not helping anyone by lowering the bar.

The tests are not racists. Leftists make excuses to fit their narrative.

I will say though that the standardized tests are awful methods of determining college readiness. I do think they need to be improved. The reading and science sections seemed like pure psychology to me, trying to understand what some drunk writer intended in their passage.

If blacks and Hispanics can’t pass the tests they don’t get the jobs… or are you in fact stating that blacks and Hispanics have inferior intelligence? You must be, because a test, on a piece of paper can neither be racist or biased in any direction. Either you know the answers or you don’t. So , which is it?

Friendlybro79 · Answer

The test isn't racist. You're giving personification to a piece of paper. What isn't fair is the disadvantage many minorities are given due to lack of funding in schools. That is why they test lower. They would test higher if they had the resources to take prep classes etc

TadCurious · Answer

These tests aren't racist but the effort to get rid of them on the stupid premise that they are is part of the dumbing down of society. The proponents of this want to reduce everyone to the lowest common denominator.

I think the expression 'Don't shoot the messenger' applies.

Just because the test appears to reveal a problem, doesn't mean the test itself is the problem.

That would be nice and easy though right?

Dont bother dealing with racism in your nation, just make the test go away and then you can go back to pretending it doesn't exist.

MCheetah · Answer

No, not at all. And I only got 1000 on my SAT's. (I never studied though and didn't care about them, so there's that.)

In some places, every 11th grader takes the SAT. or ACT. I wonder why if they’re so racist,...

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Blacks will never be satisfied so there is no reason to appease them. Only stupid white liberals try.

Thegreendagger · Answer

Africans and Jamaicans test higher than African Americans so how does that work.

And I don't care for Hispanics so. Whatever learn English like the other groups arabs, Asians Africans,. No excuse for you to use the immigrant card.

So-called "White Supremacy" is strictly in the mind of the beholder.
There is nothing there to "dismantle". What we have, is a battle by the Powers That Be, to eliminate all that is GOOD, GODLY, and TRADITIONAL... and replace these things with all that SATAN desires.
