i agree to an extent on this guy, but not all the way.

i went to a high school with a good size black population (i'll say about 25%) and i would have to agree that rap and the thuggish attitude went hand in hand.

even with a black population at that level, there wasnt many students in honors classes.

this is strictly my observation, but i think it's the parents and their level of expectation. the kids (black kids) in honors classes were generally wealthier and had parents with good jobs.
