always impressed by the attitude and accomplishments of Caribbean and African blacks in America.

They are different; they also use affirmative action to their advantage. If you go through Harvard, 7/10 of "African Americans" come from these cohorts.

Also, they are overwhelmingly not coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, yet the scores are still more than 100 points below Asian candidates

Bill Cosby thing blew up because of Hannibal Buress. Allegations had been around for years.

Still most of those women probably took the quaaludes on their own accord

Bill Cosby thing blew up because

Because he was brave enough to say that young Black people need to get real and start being self sufficient.

Buress broke it open, yes.

But Buress' comedy bit was inspired by Cosby's position that blacks need accountability in their community. The black community did not welcome this message coming from a black man worth $400M.

So yes, Patrick is correct above.

But I don't think blacks should have a right to lash out at anyone who they perceive as privileged or white because they are benefiting from this society.

I totally agree with you, and that story was surprising to me. One thing I wondered about it was whether part of the issue was simply personality and culture, that its the perceived aggressiveness or hostility. Having experienced different schools as a teacher and student teacher I'll share an observation. Adults yelling at students in a school that has a high black poulation is not unusual at all, where as yelling at white, asian, or especially latino kids is considered very rude and inappropriate. That is, as a cultural difference, black kids respond to (and respect) that kind of intensity, where it would be considered over the top and rude especially with Latino kids. You have probably seen videos of a classroom situation with a male teacher diffusing a fight situation by getting in their face (of mae black students)very intensely.

Is it possible that was what you were seeing in that situation? That is more a cultural difference or habit as to how that lady interacts with all children, rather than a black versus white thing? Obviously I wasn't there, and I'm not saying that was the case. Just posing the question as a possibility. Otherwise it's surprising, becasue in schools, most people are going to make a conscious effort to treat students the same. AS for the bit about grading some students easier, that's really sad if it happens, and also would be surprising. A black teacher essentially holding white kids to a higher standard ? Bizarre if true.
