Can Racism Be Stopped in the Third Grade?

Nothing like a major stock market crash and jobless hundreds of millions to send ‘em back to where they came from.'

One more reason to keep them off the welfare and unemployment rolls!

Lordy,that’s funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they going to let a generation grow up without dividing it into distinct, warring groups?

In the 3rd grade everything is koombaya. Racial feelings either pro or con develop after life experience. The libs love to talk up racism, but you don’t see them moving to the inner cities unless they are wealthy enough to send their kids to private schools. The libs would have you believing that only white people are racists, tell that to the millions of white victims of crime at the hands of black thugs.

When I was in Kindergarden, I had to walk 2 blocks to school. On the way, every morning there was a group of black kids a couple of years older than I was and they would hold me up every day for my 5 cents milk money.

I figured out that if I walked arouund the block the other way so that I did not encounter the black kids, I could make it to school with my milk money, even though it was a longer route.

Was this racist or common sense?

This is a private school. The parents should’ve removed their children and taken their money elsewhere.

But, evidently, they decided that they wanted their children to attend an elite Ivy League prep school, no matter what their children learned there.

Sure, by teaching that those of all races should be treated equally and given equally opportunities to make something of themselves. But that fits so many modern citizens’ definition of racism that maybe it is impossible.

That's how I was raised (born in '52) and my neighborhood for the first 7 years of my life was predominantly Black. We all got along fine and the Blacks had solid families and took care of their properties and their families.

Then the race riots of the '60s came along and things changed drastically.

Those who make the most trouble and who exercise gratuitous racism against Whites have earned every bad thought I harbor against them....

The libtards teach diviciveness.
Blacks have been taught to have a chip.
Libtards bought the blacks, enslaved them and blacks willingly play the freeshit game. People who work resent the burden.
Nobody is going to tell or force me to like or dislike any person or group?
The lib hard game is divide and conquer.
Their social engineering is a DISMAL FAILURE. Their “leaders are self enriching rodents. Yet they keep following....a sign of STUPIDITY...for which there is NO CURE.

None of this does anything to fix the ‘low IQ’ problem.

[tanknetter]

The problem with that is that there’s a point where the “game” becomes uncontrollable.

The Progressive coalition is built on disperate interest groups, grievance and victim factions that in the end have conflicting interests.

They’re held together by a common enemy: Conservatism. However once that enemy is vanquished they’ll quicky turn on one another.

Which is what we’re starting to see, now that there’s a growing perception that Conservatism has lost (as defined as declined past the point of recovery).

The form arrived in an email attachment on the Friday after winter break.“What is your race?”it asked. And then, beneath that, a Census-style list: “African-American/Black,” “Asian/Pacific Islander,” “Latina/o,” “Multi-racial,” “White,” and “Not sure.”

Conspicuously absent is "Human", which would be MY clear choice.
