  That can only be true if blacks really are genetically predisposed to be less likely to pass college. I know it's forbidden to say this, but it's quite simple : that's a fact. It's been researched to death, and the conclusions are pretty obvious : the different human races differ in intelligence just like they differ in loads of other factors (calcium tolerance, immune response, likelihood of specific diseases, likelihood of cancer, ...) The sad part is that a bell curve enormously magnifies differences between people. Take 2 groups : A and B. Suppose the bell curve for B was shifted 1/10th of a standard deviation lower (which is a tiny amount, less than 1 IQ point). If you then take a random person from group A, and a random person from group B, the chance that the person from group A is smarter is over 96%. This is of course why evolution kills of entire species for being 0.1% less efficient than the competition. Tiny differences result in a huge shift of the chances in real encounters.
