>Actually, I didn’t really mean it as a double standard. My grandfather still believes in the old ways so he does not take anything off of anyone.

Hm, interesting.
Maybe I should research the Cherokee a bit... (my grandpa has some Cherokee in him.)

“If people don’t know the amount of unbridled, absolute hatred that inner city blacks have toward whites...they need a dose of reality.”

This needed to be repeated - And it doesn't only apply to Inner City Blacks.

It seems in the upside down World we are being ushered into the only groups that are without rights are Whites, Christians and Heterosexuals. Combinations of the aforementioned are given a little slack but God help you if you are all three.

It seems to me that sometimes being male is also something of a disadvantage in certain circles.

Are the intimidated teachers in a Union? If so they should file a grievance.

>And the “police brutality” complaints around here seem to keep coming no matter what the race/ethnicity of the cop.

A friend and I had an idea the other day: “Subcontracting out police-brutality”... Imagine, it provides citizens with work, AND they get to release their anger and frustration on the “alleged perpetrator” instead of the police. (Thus ensuring a good beating and keeping the police officer from those silly “police brutality” charges.)

...yes. I do have a warped mind; why do you ask? ;)

Testicular Cancer and Prostate Cancer support groups?

There are two sets of stupid people here. Kids who go to school with no intention of learning. And, teachers who think they are doing the Lord's work trying to teach them.

Take away the enablers and the welfare system will starve.

Disrespect does not have to have a color attached to it. In this case, attaching color to unacceptable actions of a student just excuses it. When are adults going to wake up?

Although you are correct that the fundamental problem is a school run like a zoo instead of a place that demands discipline, you are wrong about it not being racist. These black students consciously choose to charge their disrespect with racist remarks. Would it be better if they were screaming "I hate school" or calmly saying "I hate white crackers like you." ? Personally, I find the latter to be the more disrespectful and so do the students, although they appear to like combining both.

I see more and more black racism as time passes.

LOL - No, I just mentioned it because of the rash of ‘Abuser’ discussions in the wake of the Brianna/Brown imbroglio.

In a couple you would have thought all men were violent, sexual deviants and all women were their innocent ‘Victims’. Definitely an opportunity on the part of some for serious anti-male hysteria and bashing.

Mom mom teaches in a class of nearly 75% blacks in the rural south. Nearly 3-4 girls per class are pregnant by second semester.

She deals with disruptive, disrespectful idiotic teens who know that an apartment, food and cash are only a sexual tryst away, so they all get knocked up to better themselves.

She is strict, and receives threats from students and administrators that they weren’t passed without earning it.

Billions of dollars can be spent on Liberal programs, but IQ and culture are not able to be bought.

Inner cities’ out-of-wedlock births (heard this from a black preacher on the radio a few weeks back) is approaching 85-90% (70% across the US).

Obama is readying his retard army, be prepared.

"I've never in my 36 years in this district felt intimidated by a black child," said the former Largo High principal, who is white...white, but not very smart - if some of these teachers and what not would start playing the counter-race card themselves instead of being oh so forgiving and understanding it might throw some fear of God, or at least of authority into some of these thugs and get them under a bit of control......

What about the white kids at the predominantly black schools and vice versa?

How about if we all just get along.

Kisten, a 37-year veteran who began teaching before Pinellas schools integrated in 1971.

I graduated from Dixie Hollins High School in greater St. Petersburg, (Pinellas County) in 1962, and our school was integrated then!

A good use for “Porkulus” funding, would be video and audio cameras operating with recorder backup full-time in these classrooms. Racist comments among students reinforce their inner-city attitudes, which precede outbreaks of actual violence. With video captures, not only can the perps be convicted with evidence, but the administrators won’t be able to hide behind the standard “violence is not really a problem here” PR line.

I have recommended this for years. Have complete audio and a 1 frame/second video in every class and let the kids know it. Keep the tapes for two weeks. With today's digital technology, this could easily be done. They should even make live video and audio from each classroom available on the internet. Why not? We are paying for what they are doing in the classroom. Why shouldn't we be able to randomly check up on what our employees (the teachers) are doing?

Probably go with live video if you trade off on quality.

This is why I am so tired hearing that we have to spend even more money for education. Given the social and moral collapse of inner city families, the schools are increasingly populated by feral savages uninterested, and probably by the teen years psychologically incapable, of learning. The values gap vacuum left by uninterested or absent parents is filled by the inner city's dominant ethos: victimization, racism and the celebration of various forms of evil as presented in rap music. An appalling vista.

“Looks like the “kid” gets it and they don’t.

A militant com-symp from Kenya is POTUS now, whitey better be on their best behavior, and if whitey don’t like it, violence is guaranteed.”

Frankly, I have often thought that welfare is basically hush money. Otherwise, there would be blood spilled in our streets.

I got my dose over 35 years ago. I volunteered for a church-sponsored job to feed Saturday morning breakfast to inner city elementary kids. Every fifth kid swore at me and used racist language even though I was just a guy handing out Frosted Flakes. I was told to just ignore it. I asked one kid why he said such things about me and he told me that his mother said that all the time.

I never went back.

They have seen the race card work so much in the media, they have learned to use it. They have learned that it works. They know white people cannot fight it without being branded racists and losing their livelyhood.

And not one word about the parent(s) of any of these students. And of course not much in the way of discipline either(because , undoubtedly, there is no discipline allowed)
