Education for Young Black Men

This is a little late I know, but I have been busy.
Some committee funded by us, the taxpayers, has announced that Young Black Men are falling prey to the "instituional " racism of schools.This is because some 12% of the School population of Young Black Man ( YBM in future - its boring typing it again and again) are regularly excluded, whilst similar Whites are onlt 5%, whilst for Asians its less than 1%.
I don't know that many young people at school, but I DO know that Asian families stay together. I also know that, according to national police statistics, 70% of all muggings are perpetrated by YBMs. And I also know that the Black ( Afro-Carribean) communities suffer the highest percentage of single parent families and absconding fathers.
Just in case you don't get it, because their fathers are not around, the YBMs have less chance of being guided as they grow up, and , accordingly, less control and discipline.
So please don't insult our intelligence by suggesting that the schools are "subconsciously" anti-black. They are not. The YBMs behave badly. They get excluded and deserve it. What we SHOULD be doing is NOT issuing platitudinous rubbish, and try to teach them about fatherhood and responsibility.
