[TR24210]

I am skeptical that black people achieve low scores on ANY test they take, and I am highly suspicious – as any critical thinker should be -of the motives of the author of The Bell Curve. Secondly, I believe socioeconomics play an important – if not the most important -part in determining test performance. Poverty affects health, mental and emotional development, access to quality education, exposure to bad influences and a host of other factors that may result in low test performance. Unfortunately, a disproportionate number of people of color live on or below the poverty line. Studies corrected for socioeconomic status have disproven the notion that black people are inherently inferior mentally, and I don’t believe that book of yours mentions these studies, sadly.
