DORK.
That's all i can think when i read your questions.
Obviously you slept through your English classes, and judging from your other questions, your math and science skills aren't anything to brag about either.

Are you a troll? The questions sure sound like it.
Assuming you're not:
"Alwayz"?
"Tooken"?
"Ment"?
"wat"?
SAT and ACT tests reflect the education and ability of the people that take them. The people who create the tests work hard to remove any bias as far as race, gender, etc. To me, it sound like you received the score you deserved, and your uncle has a case of sour grapes.
You can always retake the test - my son did just a week or so ago. And there are study programs that you can do at home to help you do better on the test. Go to a book store and ask for the ACT or SAT home study books, spend some time going through these, and take all the practice tests you can. You can improve your score and increase your chances of getting into college, especially if you apply what you learn in your everyday life.

That is crazy. Some people don't test well maybe that's what happened to you. Some people freak out when they go to take the SAT for the first time. Just remember if you retake the test they keep your best score. The first time I took the SAT I got 450 on verbal and 650 on math I took it a second time and got 620 on verbal and 600 on math. Since they keep the two best scores they report my SAT score as verbal 620 + math 650 for a total of 1270. The SAT is in no way racist it is a test. How math can be racist I don't know and teh reading/verbal part well everyone was taught english in school and that is what the test is on!!!

They aren't MEANT to keep anyone out of college. They are merely a guide for college administrators to see what your probable success rate will be. Good grades in high school don't mean that you will automatically do great on the SATs because SATs are standardized. High school teaching is not. A primarily black (if you want to stereotype this) urban public school for example is probably not going to be as good of an education as a primarily white suburban private school in most cases. The real issue is availability to good schooling, not exactly race.
And I'm sorry, but "tooken"? ...Come on now.

How can a test based on basic language and math skills every student learns in school be racist? If you want to get into college, apply to the University of Michigan -- they have quotas for African-American students, they admit African-American students with lower SAT/ACT scores and lower GPAs than their white or Asian counterparts, and somehow they got their Affirmative Action admissions process by the U.S. Supreme Court.
P.S.: From your spelling and grammar usage in your question, I can see why you did so poorly on the SAT.

That is one of the stupidest statements I have ever heard. It sounds like your uncle is one of those people that whenever anything doesn't go his way, its all about race. Please explain to me how this is racist!
It is easy to get good grades. You can buy the teacher an apple everyday and he/she will remember that and hook you up with a better grade. Maybe you should study for the SATs harder so when you take them again, you're more prepared. Also, avoid talking with your uncle because he will ruin the world for you!

Hopefully you wrote your essay in better english than this question. They are a successful way to test the skills needed for a college education. IF you do poorly, that does not mean you have no future, nor does it mean you are black. It just shows where your weaknesses are.

Many cultures choose their infants date and marry interior the comparable race or from the same history. My grandmother (2d technology Mexican- American) disapproved of her daughter relationship a Dominican as a results of fact he develop into too dark. She particularly believed the darker you have been, the fewer regular you would be. She even disapproved of yet another daughter marrying a Mexican as a results of fact she believed that a marriage to a white guy might flow her daughter up in society. I even have an aunt who chosen to no longer coach her infants Spanish as a results of fact she believed their accents might deprive them of fulfillment interior the destiny. this is unlucky how plenty they did to assimilate. they're all stable human beings, yet believed what they have been doing may be the excellent for their young infants.

Well, if colleges are racist against anyone, it's white people. We don't have our own month like you do, and we don't have our own scholarships, entertainment channel..none of that.
Black people are trying to milk something that happened 150+ years ago for all it's worth.

No I don't believe the SAT's are racist. Furthermore, judging your spelling and grammar, I can understand why you received a bad grade.
