During my years working on a time card, I lost 2 different promotions to persons who were promoted under Affirmative Action.

Neither ended up able to do the job requirements.

One job I quit outright. Took 2 people to do the volume of work I could do. Am I feeling sorry for either the employer or the affirmative action promotion person? HELL NO.

"I was raised in rural Wisconsin. I attended a ONE ROOM school, with ONE teacher who had 2 years of college -—8 grades-—14 students. There was NO running water ( water brought in every school day in a 10 gallon milk can) & with outdoor toilets behind the school Playground==a merry-go-round."

Well done! It's brains that count.

He is trying to be “Diana Moon Glampers” from Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron” Similar to Atlas Shrugged, fiction is slowly becoming reality, pray for guidance.

That moron may not have earned his white privilege, but most white children of my era had to earn theirs. Here is how we earned it:

Go to bed on time.
Say your prayers.
Clean your room.
Take care of your belongings.
Address your elders as “Ma’am” and “Sir”.
Do your chores before you play.
Respect your parents and the house rules.
Eat what’s put in front of you.
Sit up/stand up straight.
Do your homework.
Get good grades.
Go to Sunday School and church.
Attend confirmation classes and learn your religion.
Obey the Ten Commandments.
Be home on time.
Boys do not hit girls.
Girls do not chase boys.
Avoid a bad crowd.
Do not smoke, drink or swear. If you do, do not let any authority figure catch you.
Obey all driving laws and get a job to pay for your insurance.
Graduate from high school.
Get a job or go to college; if you go to college, also get a job.
Save money for the future.
Wait to get married before having sex.
If you don’t wait, you will have to give up the child or give up school and marry that person. So choose carefully.
Being married is teamwork.
Keep your finances simple and clean.
Work hard and respect your spouse and/or your boss, even if he/she is a jerk.
House, feed, clothe and love your child.
Discipline your child fairly; do not spoil, do not abuse.
Read to your child.
Pray with your spouse and your child.
Don’t ignore your spouse or your personal grooming because you’re now married or a parent.
Stay married.
Settle fights with your spouse before going to sleep at night.
Save money for old age.
Take care of your elders.
Expect the above list also of your chlld.

So to “solve” the problem of “white privilege” he decided to drag down 91% of the kids to the point of illiteracy?

More proof the pendulum's swung too far....

You are on to something, both factual and anti-minority.

Its all about dominance.

The purpose of Ho#86 is the increase the quantity, not the quality of that species. In the Law of the Jungle the species that has the greater population dominates.

In the case of black African descendants, it is unlikely they could reach majority in any culture focused on individual excellence (not saying some of those descendants do not excel intellectually).

The liberal progressives pretend to sympathize and promote “primal behavior” in an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” ploy toward their backdoor effort at dominance. As with every socialism experiment the remaining intellectuals are naturally the elite and all the rest, including their previous assisting cohorts are relegated to peasantry.

This same liberal philosophy is also at play with the current liberal seemingly blind sympathy for muslims.

If the good professor is ashamed of being white, why doesn’t he do us all a favor and assume room temperature?

Dear Strider 44,

Agree even my Immigrant parents, who spoke fairly well English, read us books and took us to the library all the time.

I dont fall for the white privilege BS either. To all Moms and Dads out there who care:
THANKS MOM AND DAD! I CAN NEVER THANK YOU OR PAY YOU ENOUGH BACK FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR WE KIDS!

White supremacy? and why yellow race supremacy? They are the best students. It not the color of your skin but the family values and culture.

I tell you, something has killed my oldest super-intelligent daughters love for school.
She complains that school is SOOOO boring. (6th grade). Her words: Dumb kids, teacher has to repeat things, kids don’t listen and then ask questions about things the teacher already covered.
I hate to see it. Our oldest is home schooling and is much happier now. We might do it for her too.
Sad. I think it’s hurting our youngest daughter too.

I only knew about it in detail because Michael Savage has brought it up.

That has been a known problem in schools, particularly public schools for some time. I gather that was one of the reasons for the "Magnet Schools".

I went to Catholic school for grade school ( 1st to 8th) and on my very first day of public school, my eyes were opened. I never liked school, I never fit in (entirely my issue) and once in public school I found that I didn't have to attend.

Half the class was there for baby sitting - they were useless beyond constant disruptive behavior- one quarter tried but lacked the ability, the remaining quarter were able to succeed.

There were AP classes and such but the entire system is focused on improving the "success rate" for the oxygen thieves thereby never challenging the capable. You could get straight A's without much effort - I rarely went and when I showed up, I slept through most of it.

Savage’s show can be very informative. That said, I’m always a bit amused when the suspicions of Freepers over the years are vindicated when some rat bastard lefty comes out of the woodwork and confirms it matter-of-factly.

An apy analogy would be.. "you hear better than the others so cut ONE of your EARS off to become more equal with the others."

The strange past of all of this is if they were to implement "Common Core", within FIVE years white children would have mastered it and many blacks would still be badly lacking.

WHY? Because learning has to do with methods of STUDY and LEARNING habits usually enforced through parental rules and guidance.. NOT revising or "dumbing-down" the material itself for a specific group.

"White privilege" is just another way for the left to holler "evil whitey" (is the cause of everything that's wrong). In the old days various race-baiters would shriek that anytime a white conservative or Republican would say or do anything that Dems opposed (like shrinking the budget), they were basically hollering the n word.

Well now we have a growing number of lib leftists who use the term "white privilege" when they mean to holler "cracker" or "honky" or "evil whitey."

The race baiters can't give up on the "racist, evil whitey" theme, because that would mean their prime constituency, black Americans, would have to acknowledge that they were responsible for their own problems. That is something the race-hustlers will never do.

Then tell me just how many protests there were over the police shooting of Miriam Carey, an unarmed black mother. She was dropped into a media memory hole less than 48 hours after she was gunned down. Does anybody even know who she is?

...it was revealed the suspect was an unarmed dental hygienist from Connecticut with a 1-year-old in the backseat.

On October 3, Carey approached a White House checkpoint and was approached by Secret Service officers. She made a three-point turn, striking an officer who was trying to move a barricade into her path, before driving away, according to an affidavit filed in support of a search warrant.

Police said the car sped down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol, where security vehicles stopped it at Garfield Circle. Carey put the car in reverse, hit a police car and drove away as officers fired at her.

Sounds like a righteous shoot, woman or not. The enemedia couldn't spin it far enough left, so they dropped it.
