Way to go boyz! after 25 years a 17 year old Black went from reading
at a level less than a 13 year old White to ALMOST reading at the

Once again the Mighty African American has shown himself to be a
quick learner. In 23 years a Black 17 year old went from being
less proficient in math than a 13 year old White to being a little
better than a 13 year old White. I guess you showed Whitey on that
one. Is there no stopping this African American Learning Machine?

Truly impressive gains! in 26 years a Black 17 year old has gone from
being way less proficient in science than a 13 year old White to being
even less proficient than a 13 year old White. And they said it
couldn't be done.
Let me be the first to congratulate you on a terrific quarter century.
The integration of public schools paid off in SPADES! And Whitey said
it couldn't be done. I'm sure we can expect more outstanding progress
in the next millennium. Keep up the good work!
