"There is no reason why Negroes cannot be taught to read, write, and speak properly. I have taught hundreds myself."
I am quoting my sainted (but not saintly) widowed mother, who taught grammar school for 25 years, and then ran educational programs. She was having a great deal of trouble with many of the the African-American teachers whom she frankly found to be a great load of unmanageable slackers. They got no results, rejected standards and simply passed their undisciplined African-American students along via "social promotion," while maintaining anti-white attitudes and a constant stream of excuses and platitudes. "Bullshit," I think she called it. (Neither saintly nor shy, nor politically correct.) And it did get her rather summarily dismissed!
On her way out, she also pointed out (IMNVHO correctly) that "Negroes" had often done better in some of the segregated schools, where dedicated teachers and much more conscientious administrators maintained standards and discipline. BTW, as school districts became increasingly black, with black principals, black administrators, and especially black superintendents, they have become demonstrably less effective, until we have reached the pathetic level of achievement one sees in today's young street Negroes. Both the thugs Trayvon and Michael, were functional illiterates despite 10+ years of public schooling, and despite "diplomas." Michael headed for "college." Love to have the facts on that one! When black-managed and staffed school systems spend $10,000 per student per year and "graduate" functional illiterates, it's probably time to think about cutting out the "bullshit" of which my sainted (not saintly) mother spoke.
Instead of setting an example, or speaking directly to these issues, what does the "black" man in our POTUS suit do? He sends in an illiterate anus, "The Rev" Al Sharpton, as his spokesman. He winks and nods in approval of the violent behavior in the 'hood. He attacks the police. Of course, he and Holder have pulled up their pants, and learned to speak pretty good Lefty, but do not counsel their homies to do the same. He used (uses) drugs, and does not counsel them on their potential for harm. He is using the street Negroes as a lever against the American people, whom he then can accuse of "racism" when they oppose his policies.
In a way, it's W.E.B. Dubois vs. Booker T. Washington all over again. Late in the game, we realize that Booker T. Washington was the more realistic. I.E., train and educate EVERY Negro to the best of his independent ability. Because now we see that when just Dubois' "Talented Tenth" are somehow selected for special treatment and the rest ignored, charlatans like Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (or II) and Eric Holder can be the result. Both are black oligarchs, manipulating those left behind to support them in illegitimate power.
Judging from what I read and what I hear it seems questionable whether there exists in this entire country a single teacher of any race who is actually qualified to teach the English language.
Therefore “Useful Idiots” to be used as tools for the left. There is a definite difference in the black community. There are those who will take advantage of the opportunities this country has to offer and then there are those who only take advantage of everyone around them.
