The survey was not accurate in regards to the percentage of group sampling stats. It reports only 3% non-high school grads when the reality is that 12+% of the population hasn't graduated high school.

Those stats do not apply to the major of Black males, so you cannot apply that statistic to the rest of the Black male population.

This was my first thought as well (I heard them all, too ... ). My grandparents and my dad were the most intelligent people I've ever known. I wonder why it was that the natives singled out Poles to equate not speaking fluent English and being overwhelmed with a new culture with a lack of intelligence. Why not Serbian or Hungarian jokes?

I didn't say black Americans. In m post, I specifically stated African immigrants. They outperform everyone. That goes directly against the stereotype blacks are stupid. African American s have been programmed into thinking they are dumber and can't succeed. These are what stereotypes have done to us.

Racist republicans are pretty true. Not all of them are racist, but their is a good population there.

I wasn't talking about anything you said. I was merely trying to prove a point to someone else.

Based on limited exit polls and how those polled chose to identify themselves, those with college and post grad degrees voted Democrat more often, in the last election.
Not anywhere near the same percentages of those of the least educated.
