A state with 26% black population, and the land-grant flagship public school only has 7% black students???

Maybe when you look at the number of Alabama high school students apply to college, the % of black students in that pool drops dramatically?? But I agree, on its face without further investigation, that number seems pathetic.

Oh, I have another example for you.
African American population of Georgia as of 2010 - 30.5%
UGA - 7.5%
GT - 7.5%
GaSouthen - 26.5%
GSU - 40%

This is no mistake by the board of regents either.

Is the mistake being made by the board of regents or by the black population of Georgia for not taking academics seriously?

I mean the black kid that grew up on the farm down the street from me and our farm ended up going to Harvard on a full ride and became a lawyer and now judge because he knew his best chance off the farm was academics. I can't think of a black peer in high school, male or female, who took academics seriously who hasn't succeeded.

At some point the black population of this country needs to quit blaming everything on slavery and Jim Crow and take a deep look at their own culture.
