I am guessing you didn’t venture into downtown Greenville, or Spartanburg SC.
You touched the civilised part of that elephant.
Trust me, you are currently ‘charmed’ as you suggest.
Having written that, it IS appropriate to point out that a broad brush applied to “blacks” paints **MANY** incorrectly and unfairly. We truly have MANY friends, including 3 of our 5 proximate neighbor houses who are “black” or interracial households. They are happily married, have great kids etc etc. Great neighbors too. Willy next door teaches me how to grow vegetables worth eating from the crappy GA soil, and I help him with power tools. Pauline brings us sweet potato pie and drinks wine on the back deck with my wife, and I fix their leaf blower and garage door. Tommy and Jerry will out work any of us, any day.
What we share is a culture, a set of values and principles. We don’t share close geneology or pigmentation.
The ‘students’ described in this text are not ‘our’ (our neighborhood) peers in any way, shape or form. Yet they share our schools and our $$ value chain.
The tragedy here is that we seem unable to have a pulic dialog about the reality written here. It is racist and forbidden to ‘go public’ with such thoughts! And all these kids are LOST to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Deliberately so, due to the actions and policies of liberal democrats who see them as worthless except for their ability to keep them voted in.
>>It sounds a lot like prison.
Then the school is doing a good job for preparing them for their collective futures...
I really hate to take your bait, but I have to ask you a question. If for some reason your child was zoned for a school like this and you could not move into a better district for whatever reason, would you consider homeschooling an option? Just curious....
LBJ
The corrupt Democrat who pushed the Great Society.
See post 54. The original article is from the Marty Nemko blog and was written by Christopher Jackson.
It has definitely had some material added to it.
I don’t know if somebody copied it, added some of their own material and posted it to Craig’s List or what.
I’ve seen this article posted on many forums.
It makes Lib’s heads explode.
They deny and cry racist.
My opinion is out on evolution, but this is devolution in action.
“This is the legacy of the baby boomer generation.” WRONG! This the the “legacy” of Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Hoover, FDR, JFK, LBJ and a HOST of OTHER RINOS, Democrats, GOP-e’s over the last 140 years of so.
Boomers have been in power the last 24 years.
What have they done to fix things?
Are you doing this?
The liberal elitist destroyed the black family. That is the bottom line.
This essay has been around for several years. It was originally published as “What it’s like to teach black children.”
Well said.
See my post 65 as to origin
I teach in a mostly Hispanic middle school, and we don't have many black students. Of the ones we have, the girls are usually pretty good, but the boys... well...
I agree. This is inner-city culture. I find that inner-city Hispanics are starting to act similarly, but recent immigrants from South and Central America don’t. Ditto the few African students I have had.
Great post!
