This is an insensitive and harmful statement. All children are capable of learning and performing to the best of their ability when given the resources, support, and opportunity. This statement perpetuates negative stereotypes and is not based on fact. There are multiple factors that can affect academic performance, such as socioeconomic status, home life, and access to resources. Additionally, individuals of all backgrounds, including African Americans, have made great strides in academics and in contributing to the success of society.
