    And you're more talking some teenagers with this attitude.

    • There can't really be people who think reading is not appropriate for black people... I mean, that is so early 19th century....

      • There definitely is a black counterculture where education is "white" and uncool, and graduation is considered a bad thing. It's not true everywhere but it is a large factor in multigenerational poverty.

          Talking properly, etc.

          It's more teenagers though.

          • I forget, is Docfeelgood unemployed, or is he merely chronically underemployed? That would explain why he blew a childish gasket when people started discussing salaries.

              Overemployed, I think. He was a nurse without a nursing degree. He got by on his looks alone.

                I was a math and reading tutor in high school and college, and by and large there was a major difference in attitude between the black students and the white/latino/asian students. The white/latino/asian students I was tutoring were usually kind of dim or had a minor learning disability or had trouble concentrating or whatever, and this was also the case for about half of the black students; however, a bare handful of non-black students and nearly half of the black students just didn't give a ****.

                    • Felch's original statement that I've been attacked for not believing:

When there's a social rejection of literacy because it's "white" then you're going to have a lot of ignorant jigs ruining your city.
                      The idea that black people reject being able to read because it's "white" is a bit different from the idea that black teenagers just don't give a ****.

                        ( seriously ) what do you think is the cause? my wife tells me that over 75 percent of her class has a learning disability. I'm just wondering if there is a trend here.

                            • Sorry if the question is stupid, but what does a reading tutor do? Read texts with them?

                              • Yup, if they got stuck on a word I'd help them sound it out and give them the definition, things like that. I was mostly a math tutor though, simply because they tended to assign English majors as reading tutors.
