Well, I suspect that scholarly families tend to continue that way, and that a group of people that have been farmers for generations, and that were forced into schools with other farmers children just one generation ago are going to not be reading to their children everyday, or have a lot of books and magazines in the house.
African-American culture did not just happen on its own, you know. There were major societal factors that forced that group of people to have a culture that is the way it is.
- JabavuAdams 16y agoI don't understand why you're taking this tone. I think you're misinterpreting what I'm saying. It's very important to make the culture vs. race point because culture changes over time, as you've pointed out. Also, I like to focus on culture because it's crazy that people get ultra-detailed in their discussion of race, while often ignoring this thing that is much more causative, in my experience.

How many farmers do you know and where? I'm serious. Commercial farming in the US is quite high-tech and successful farming has always been reasonably intellectual.
