Well, that's not insanely dickish or anything.
Oh, you take the high road, and I'll take the low road...

My mother did not CHOOSE life. She planned for it.

Is that weird monkey-creature-looking-thing supposed to be a BLACK MAN?

I think they're trying to point out that racism and classism affects society. But it does come off as dickish.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I believe the overall point was supposed to be "BLACK PPL R STOOPID LOLOLOL," though.

I really wish people would bother to research the pictures before they toss them online, because that's a rather rough conclusion when all the black kids pass math, while no other group manages it.

I think the point is that whatever point it was trying to make, it's doing so poorly because no one knows what the point it's trying to make is.

In short, "Hey, why the fuck did you put this sign up?"

When I see signs that are just out of the blue like that, showing positive scores, and they're not overtly assholish, just... "?".  I go "...Yay?"

I mostly posted it because I find it really weird that a school would post a sign separating the students' scores by race, regardless of their intentions in doing so.

They only separated it into two races (and economically disadvantaged, which only confused me further). I'm not sure if they were wanting to show that African-Americans are not as great at science as they had hoped or if it was meant to show how well the school was doing by showing that their scores were pretty good.

It may have something to do with the fact that test scores are categorized all kinds of ways, such as race, gender, age/grade, and so on. They probably chose a few of these categories to show and picked the ones that looks bad without realizing it. At least that is what I hope is going on.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Who knows what Ronnnie would do? There's never been a President with that name.

(yes, I know they meant Reagan.)
