Gender Disparity in Achievement

<p>^Great post, and congrats on Stanford btw.

i’m the only black male walking into the majority of my classes while my school is 75% african american and the biggest subgroup happens to be african american males. it’s ridiculous, yet astonishing

Same thing in my school, except that we have ~60% minority population. I’m the only black student in three of my classes, and the only black male in all but one. It really is ridiculous. </p>

<p>

i believe that it’s up to the black males to distinguish between what they want for themselves and the “fantasy realities” of rappers who boast about women and cars. in essence, i’m sure that all black males want the same thing … the american dream. we just have to show them that the american dream is attainable in different ways, other than following what some rappers promote which can inevitably lead to poor academic motivation, amongst other detriments.

Quoted for truth. I think that’s what it really comes down to.</p>
