(This is a great one! Very important point made here) And Now!!!... An Excerpt from Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority by Tom Burrell – “Educational theorists and scholars, eager to escape the implications of the past, are unaware of the [Black Inferiority] campaign. They compare black achievement with students who have not been permanently typecast as “less than.” Asian students, for example, have not internalized the stigma that they are “less intelligent” than whites. Children may not be able to identify the subtleties of institutionalized racism, but they are aware of how teachers and policies make them feel. Unable to comprehend the feeling that they are less intelligent or worthwhile than whites, many young people simply give up hope, rejecting the negativity and the school system itself.”
