What I don’t get is why we (whites) put up with this crap.

The same reason we put up with the IRS targeting conservative groups, the NSA (+ however many other federal agencies and corporations) monitoring every email, phone call, and banking transaction, and the fact that some type of extra tax, fee, or surcharge waits around every corner when we wish to do something with our own property or in the pursuit of our own happiness.

Oh, I knew that would get your back up, considering the tenor of this exchange.

What I said was EXACTLY what I said -

the parents who don’t care and won’t train will send their kids to public schools.

If you care and train your kids, you wouldn’t be included in that statement, now would you?

Mr. X asks: "Do you think I really hate black people?"

By your words, Mr. X, you have it very clear that you do.

Let’s just say that last year I was escorted from a school board meeting for going on an extended tirade that asked the musical question “Why are more EXPENSIVE schools equated with BETTER schools in your greedy little minds?”

For the record it didn't "get my back up" I was asking for clarification because your statement could have been taken either way. And please remember that reading another person's mind is against the rules here, which is why I was very specific in my question.

Well my wife and I don't have any natural children, but have had 16 or so foster children and whether they were with us a weekend or several years we did our best to undo the damage that had been done by the natural parents.

I blame white liberals for destroying the black education system ...


Surely you jest. No black liberals had a thing to do with the demise not only of the education system, but all of “black america?”

Nope. My mom who is black and in her 70s had a totally different educational experience. Back then, from what she told me, all black schools then had not yet been destroyed by liberals.

Ofcourse now, she is sending my niece to a private Christian school where none of what described in that rant will happen.

“”Mama is chocolate . . . Daddy is vanilla “

Like heck.

Most often the other way around, black daddy and white mama. Hardly EVER a white daddy and black mama.

Hmmm. . .why is that?

The American blacks had the violent disruption and eradication of their history and identity via slavery plus decades of suppression and ill-treatment after “freedom” ....

I have to disagree. Blaming it on slavery is a dodge.

In the segregated school Bert High School, the four time Olympic gold winner Wilma Rudolph went to school was one of the best run schools in Clarksville, even with a lesser budget than similar white school in town. The children that went to Bert were well behaved and got a good education.

This is because although their parents were mostly drawn from (hard working, God fearing) poor tobacco farmers they instilled great value in their children "getting as good book learnin' as any white folk"

Sadly many of their descendants aren't as insistent as their predecessors...

I think that what your mom told you is true for a great many communities. The tragedy is that the cult of "Diversity", serves the interest of no group. It undermines the ability of each group to deal with problems in a realistic way. Does any of this make much sense?

Exactly. Liberalism influenced home training where lack of parenting drives out of control children in school.
Parents these days are more interested in being friends with their children. Then children don’t get taught how to act cause their parents haven’t taught them.

Well there was an effort to create all male and all female public schools. They were excelling. As usual liberals shut them down.

Yes you have a point about diversisty.

Culture is definitely the problem.

Part of the "culture" issue is low income housing. Housing projects ensure that children from dysfunctional families are surrounded by other dysfunctional families. There are no role models. There are no men of strong character and good habits. All the young children see are druggies, pimps and losers.

Whenever we hear of any type of liberal placating behavior to low class blacks, my husband and I just say the word “pets".

I have held the belief that liberals adore abortion because it decimates (God help us) the population growth of the "pets". I have also held the belief that America is largely non-racists but the biggest collection of racists are in the Democrat party.

You first said it was white libs who destroyed black schools - I disagreed saying it also included black libs and you say no ("nope") it didn't.
And now you say it was just plain liberals.
Quite frankly, I don't think you have a clue, you just like to stir the pot.

Chairman for a local Native American tribe told us the following in a business meeting:

“Worst thing the white man ever did to the red was give him money for being red. It killed us. I have enough jobs for every one of the 950 members in the reservation, but I can’t get 700 of them to take any job at all.”

Liberalism is slavery, which is pretty Orwellian upon reflection.

They sure do! But I grew up in NYC in the 50s and 60s, and then the housing projects were just replacement housing for people who had lived in tenements. You had to be married to get in and you had to be employed. The buildings weren't beautiful, but they were functional and safe.

Welfare recipients lived in what we called "welfare buildings" that were horrible. These were large buildings that the NYC welfare dept had rented out and which were inhabited mostly by blacks from the South. They had fires, people being thrown out of the windows, and ambulance calls at least three times a night.

I will never forget when the city declared that unmarried women with children could get apartments in the projects. This was under Lindsay, btw, after the Harlem riots and Lindsay bumped these people up to the top, over people who'd been on the list for years.

A coworker, who was black and lived in the projects (that is, black, married, employed and married to somebody who had been employed until his death a few years earlier) was very distressed because her daughter had fallen in with a bad crowd, gotten pregnant, and then came to see her mother and boasted that she could now get her own apartment. My co-worker said, "Liz, I just don't know what's going to happen now."

How right she was.
