“Take Back The Black Community Consciousness". It has been hijacked by embedded operatives who don't intend to develop the COMPETENCIES within. We once controlled this consciousness, focusing our activism directly upon our permanent interests. Today the "Malcolm X Political Football Game" has us as starters and some believe that this playing time translates into absolute progress for our people. My goal is to hold our permanent interests in their faces, forcing them to explain their actions.

Obama Predicted To Improve Black Test Scores
No No No. Not through any particular policy or funding initiatives. The gravitational pull of seeing a Black president is expected to get the segment of Blacks who had been underachieving to start doing better in school.
Isn’t it a stretch to conclude that there is an actual effect on test-takers over such a short period of time, in such a basic assessment, with such a small sample size? Since they were all adults, I don’t see how this could be perceived to have an effect on school-children. I recently posted on the effect of the Obama Effect and it may cause more harm than good at http://edublog.teacherjay.net/2009/01/30/the-obama-effect/
