    NO WHITES TO BLAME AS ALL LIBERIAN STUDENTS

    FAIL UNIVERSITY ADMISSION EXAM

    Posted by TNO Staff on August 27, 2013

    Third World apologists have been thrown into a new quandary by the

    news that all 23,000 school-leavers who wrote admission exams for

    the University of Liberia in that nation, have failed the ir tests and

    there is not a white in sight to blame this time.

    News of the total failure of every single applicant has been fairly

    widely reported by the controlled media, but all without comment as

    to the underlying reason.

    Only the Voice of America news outlet dared hint at some of the

    reasons, in an article titled Admission Standards Toughened at

    University of Liberia in which it was said that the days are over

    when students were admitted into the University of Liberia through

    bribery or based on how many important people they known .

    According to the VOA, an individual by the name of James Dorbor

    Jallah was hired to manage and administer this years entrance

    examination.

    He was quoted as saying that students seeking admission into the

    university would study harder if they are made to understand that

    admission is based on personal ability and not th rough bribery.

    He said he was hired because the university has had problems in the

    past about the credibility and integrity of its admission exam.

    There is a perception in our society largely that once you take the

    University of Liberia admission exam, if you do not pay money to

    someone, or if you do not have appropriate connections, you would

    not be placed on the results list. So, the University has been

    grappling with how they could manage the process whereby peoples

    abilities would be truly measured on the basis of their performance

    on the examination, he said.

    He said the 2013 admission exam was no different from previous

    exams that had been administered by the university in terms ofsubject matter content.

    Dorbor-Jallah said the exam tested high school graduates based on

    the curriculum of the Ministry of Education.

    But he said unlike previous exams, the faculty senate of the

    university decided that this time around, results would be reported

    on the basis of raw scores.

    To gain a pass and admission, one would have to make or earn 60

    percent in mathematics and 70 percent in English of their raw

    scores, not curved or scaled results. So on the basis of that, we

    administered the exam. We went through the tabulation of the

    results, and it turned out that 308 of the more than 23,000

    candidates actually did meet the threshold score in mathematics of

    50 percent or above. But absolutely no one was able to reach the

    3/3

    threshold score in English of 70 percent. That is why the university

    has reported that no one passed its admission exam, he said.

    In other words, this was the first time that university admissions

    were based purely on ability and not on usual Third World bribery.

    * The nation of Liberia was founded in 1820 when the region in West

    Africa was colonized by blacks from the United States. With massive

    aid from white well-wishers behind an organization called the

    American Colonization Society, former slaves and free blacks were

    given education, money, infrastructureand even a constitution

    which was identical to that of the United States to found a new

    country in a fertile and untouched part of Africa.

    This is why the flag of Liberia is, to this day, the same as the stars

    and stripes only with one star.

    In 1847, this region was officially declared the Republic of Liberia,

    and a government modeled on that of the United States established.

    The capital city was named Monrovia after James Monroe, the fifth

    president of the United States and a prominent supporter of theAmerican Colonization Society.

    Despite having been independent since the 1820s, and never having

    been colonized by Europeans, Liberia has not progressed at all. In

    fact, it has substantially regressed since its founding, becoming

    infamous for its shocking cannibalism during one of its innumerable

    civil wars only a decade or so ago (see the video below).

    Worst of all, for the liberals and the usual gaggle of Third World

    apologists, this time there are no handy whites to blame for the

    situation in Liberia. No colonization, no white minority controlling

    the economy or the land and certainly no white

    discrimination in university admissions exams.

    * Liberia has an average IQ of 67, one point higher than that of

    blacks in South Africa.
