Link. Scroll down to the section entitled
"Explaining the Black-White SAT Gap." My statements are backed up in The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education.
If you guys knew how to think for yourself, perhaps you could have looked for this information yourself. It took me about three minutes to find it.
Here's a few quotes for those of you too lazy to find them:
"Whites from families with incomes of less than $10,000 had a mean SAT score of 993. This is 129 points higher than the national mean for all blacks."
"• Whites from families with incomes below $10,000 had a mean SAT test score that was 61 points higher than blacks whose families had incomes of between $80,000 and $100,000."
" Blacks from families with incomes of more than $100,000 had a mean SAT score that was 85 points below the mean score for whites from all income levels, 139 points below the mean score of whites from families at the same income level, and 10 points below the average score of white students from families whose income was less than $10,000."
There's your citation, guys. And given the source I can't imagine how you would accuse me of bias. These facts have been well known to anyone who has studied this issue for years.
Do you guys know how to use Google? Get a clue, people. If you wanted to verify this information on your own how hard would it have been? If you want more citations go to the public library.
