The Nation’s Report Card for 2017 showed the following reading scores for fourth-graders in New York state’s public schools: Thirty-two percent scored below basic, with 32 percent scoring basic, 27 percent scoring proficient, and 9 percent scoring advanced. When it came to black fourth-graders in the state, 19 percent scored proficient, and 3 percent scored advanced.

The black community continues to be card carrying Democrats - yet the party they love continues to hold them down. EVEN history shows the Democratic Party hates blacks.

Why does this blind following continue?
