New York Times to Release ‘Nice White Parents’ Series Blaming White Parents for Achievement Gap
Breitbart ^ | 7-23-2020 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 07/24/2020 6:31:22 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

The New York Times announced Thursday it is releasing a new podcast series titled Nice White Parents, about how white parents are preventing black and brown children from succeeding in public schools.

The podcast series, to be released July 30 from Serial Productions, will be available via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google.

According to the Times, Nice White Parents is “about the 60-year relationship between white parents and the public school down the block.”

Its premise is reportedly that the reason government schools are failing “black and brown kids” is due to powerful “white parents.”

The New York Times has been slowly losing its sheen over the last few decades. It is no longer the paper of record or the go-to paper for the facts.

But it has completely lost its way with this claptrap they are publishing today.

They are completely making this stuff up out of whole cloth nowadays.

Pure fabrication to push their agenda. Fake news.

Here’s a nice summary of Ben Carson’s story showing the power of parenting, with Ben going from being the dumbest kid in his 5th grade class to the top of his class a year and half later. His mother had only a 3rd grade education and was working multiple jobs as a domestic to support her two children. http://www.naturalhealthstrategies.com/Ben-Carson.html

Defund the government mis-education system, give parents the tax money wasted on it, and let them choose a private school. Then we will see the truth.

I absolutely believe this. These white parents, who are married and got an education, are preventing black and brown people from getting an education and getting married.

Why just yesterday, I myself forced 2 Hispanic couples from getting married. Yes I did.

Sounds like liberal white parents who move to exclusive white enclaves with the best schools for their kids and pay for extracurricular music lessons and sports camps to give them the best advantage, far away from the inner city, while lecturing their conservative relatives about black lives mattering are about to get their comeuppance. I’d love to see how my SIL reacts to this development but alas, I’ve been unfriended on FB for criticizing our governor, Gretchen Whitmer, so I’m not likely to find out.

“Don’t believe me? Colin Flaherty of “White Girl Bleed A Lot”

I’m sure someone will be along shortly to tell us that Flaherty is a White supremacist and a racist and just a bad person. He’s been trying to tell people for years.

That's what happens when you let white women read calculus books while pregnant.

Hell, I’m shocked that I’m white. I’m about 20% native and at least 4 shades darker than AOC, as is my 25% Italian wife. Do we get to be people of color?

It’s the Ambition Gap. One of the goals of Socialism is to discourage ambition and just take the crumbs the State will allow you to have.

My exclusive white enclave with with a school system in the top 98% in Texas is about 20% Asian Immigrants. The whites bring down the test scores.

If people don’t want to work a McDonalds until they are replaced by a Robot, they need to stop blaming Whitey for everything.

I have had conversations with teachers and others who say that blacks do poorly because racist whites move out and abandon the area after blacks moved in. I always asked, isn’t it racist to think that blacks needs whites around for them to succeed? And why did the whites move away?

I watched this happen in a community I lived in over the past ten years. It was interesting and frightening to watch. At first, everyone was neighborly and there were no problems. Then fights started in schools. These fights always involved multiple black attackers going after one white kid, when they weren’t fighting each other. Class disruptions became daily events and soon no one was learning because the increasingly outrageous, rude, disrespectful behavior by some black students. This behavior necessitated the teacher continually dealing with them and not teaching, so no one was able to learn. The behavior was not amenable to correction, and the teachers and deans were afraid to deal with it for fear of being called racist. State test scores began to plummet and schools that once exceeded state standards were now deficient. White kids were afraid to go to school and weren’t learning.

White people started to leave the area. As they did, home prices began to drop. Some sellers started renting to section 8 clients, which brought people not invested in the neighborhood in, and their children who began tearing up the neighborhood. Crime went up and burglaries began to be common place. There was a big fight of 10 or more black males in the street a few doors down from me. My next door neighbor’s son was jumped by multiple attackers while playing basketball alone in his driveway. I cannot tell you how many times I had a conversation with neighbors who all said the same thing, “I just don’t feel safe. My kids can’t play outside, My kids are not learning at school”. They voted with their feet, and moved. That area is now 95% black. The vast majority of whites did not move because they were racist or blacks moved in. Many were welcoming or simply passively indifferent. But when they no longer felt safe, when their kids did not feel safe in school, and when their children were being denied an education by the uncivilized behavior and failure of adult educators to maintain order; they left.

Whites are not responsible for the behavior of blacks. They also should not sacrifice their kids education or the safety of their families on the altar of political correctness and wokeness. My desire for all those on the New York Times staff is to get to live in the hell that their policies and recommendations create.

Just a reminder that the original owners of the NYTimes (white people) earned their wealth by being SLAVE OWNERS

The white ownership of the Times should sell off its NY property AND the ownership of the newspaper newsrag and give the money to descendants of the families owned by the racist Times owners.

I have blame fatigue. Tired of being blamed for others lack of ambition, responsibility or action to improve.

The Left wants to divide us, foment hate and destroy our culture and country. I’m not playing along, just tired of the bullshit. Damn shame to see people choosing to live a hard life, but it is their choice not mine.
