This clown shouldn't even have a job. Colleges should teach STEM only.
This so-called professor needs to understand his/her own intellectual deficiency, ignorance and stupidity at generalizing. This is considering there are stellar academic achievers from all so-called racial groups and including bi racial group. So what category would this ignoramus of a so-called professor place bi racial people in terms of illiteracy? Even tRump's former professor called him one of the dumbest goddamned students he ever had:
1. The Racist Stereotype: The most racist white Americans have long branded African Americans as lazy, ignorant, immoral, and/or criminal – the exact same words that upper and middling class whites once used to describe impoverished whites in the Deep South. Indeed, one scholar wrote, poor whites were generally characterized by “laziness, carelessness, unreliability, lack of foresight and ambition, habitual failure and general incompetency.”[1]
Kept uneducated and mostly illiterate, poor whites had few chances to rise out of poverty. Historian James Ford Rhodes compared the South’s poor whites to northern laborers, concluding that “they were in material things abjectly poor; intellectually they were utterly ignorant; morally their condition was one of groveling baseness.”[2] Accused of being sexually promiscuous, and prone to alcoholism, gambling, and violently fighting, poor whites served as the Old South’s social pariahs. Following emancipation, white racists simply used the same stereotypes – stereotypes ultimately stemming from dire poverty – to condemn and humiliate newly freed African Americans."

African-American college graduation rates hit all-time high; a journal of Americans of color in higher education.
Here Is Good News on Black Student College Graduation Rates But a Huge Racial Gap Persists
Nationwide, the black student college graduation rate remains at a dismally low 44 percent. But the college completion rate has improved by five percentage points over the past four years. As ever, the overall black-white gap in college graduation rates remains very large at 19 percentage points. But there is improvement in black student college completion rates at many of the nation’s highest-ranked colleges and universities, at state-operated flagship universities, and at a large number of historically black colleges and universities.
Throughout the nation, African-American enrollments in higher education have reached an all-time high. Combining both bachelor’s and graduate degree programs and enrollments in two-year community colleges, there are now more than 2 million African Americans enrolled in higher education in the United States. But a more important statistical measure of the performance of blacks in higher education is not simply the number of black students entering college but how many are actually earning a college degree.
The economic gains that come from a four-year college degree are transparently obvious. Census Bureau data shows that, as expected, black students who earn a four-year college degree have incomes that are substantially higher than blacks who have only some college experience but have not earned a degree.
Most important is the fact that blacks who complete a four-year college education have a median income that is now near parity with similarly educated whites.
But the good news is severely tempered by the unacceptably low college completion rates for black students. According to the most recent statistics, the nationwide college graduation rate for black students stands at an appallingly low rate of 44 percent.* This figure is 19 percentage points below the 63 percentage rate for white students. As a result of the racial graduation rate gap, only 19 percent of young black adults hold a four-year college degree compared to 34 percent of young white adults. However, there is positive news. Over the past four years, the black student graduation rate has improved by five percentage points.
*Student graduation rates are calculated by comparing the number of entering freshmen in a given year to those who receive their diploma at the same institution within a six-year period. The most recent data is for students who entered college in the fall of 2000 and who received their diploma by June 2006. To eliminate one-year statistical aberrations, the figures used throughout this article are four-year averages and include data for students who entered college from 1997 to 2000 and earned their diploma within six years.
