Blacks destroy school systems and schools, read one letter to county officials about the busing plan. Black families (as a core group) dont value education like other cultural groups, read another. The Black Community needs to take responsibility for the behavior of its people, a third declared, or the white man will take them back to place where they dont want to go. Dont worry, though. The writer insisted they were not being racist.
These letters were written in recent months in response to a Howard County (Maryland) Council resolution calling on the county school system to desegregate its schools. The letters target was a comprehensive redistricting proposal offered by Howard County schools superintendent Michael Martirano. The plan would ease overcrowding and, in Martiranos words, substantially improve equity and access to the best educational services in the countys schools. By redistributing students around the district and balancing the number of poor students in the districts schools, the proposal would make the schools more economically integrated, and thusin theorymore racially integrated.

Metro areas expand and set up metropolitan councils or some such for totalitarian control. Then people naturally migrate away from regulation by such councils. Wealthy exurbs first, then the middle class follows.
If the Republic is going to survive, we’ve got to stop lumping entire racial groups together, and we’ve got to get rid of the welfare state which destroyed the black family and others. The problem is not black people, it is socialism and humanism at the core of government policy.
You seem to have drawn a broad conclusion about Conservatives and “dislike of blacks”. If you believe that all Conservatives are racist, perhaps you do not belong on FR? Your reference to one thread and a few comments seems to be pretty weak “evidence” to condemn “Conservatives” in a general sense.
JMHO
Blacks were smart enough to know that they would end up being the ones bused across town.
Go over to that thread and see what Im talking about.
I came from the other thread which is why I am responding as I am.
As I believe someone on said thread responded, “Speak for yourself”.
You are judging a large group of people based on an expressed opinion you do not agree with.
Link?
My point was that if someone is going to paint Dems with such a broad brush over this one article, then someone else could paint Conservatives with a similar brush if they had looked at the Penn State thread. But yes, I see your point. But I will also not stop calling-out bigoted and flat-out racist comments when I see them on this site. Those comments do not belong here, IMHO.
You can start with blacks themselves who by and large insist on being called African Americans and have hundreds if not thousands of political, lobbying and social groups segregated by and designated by race.
“While this may not apply to all blacks as a general statement this is true. If blacks insist on being ‘African American’ and seeking separate political representation, social groups and business groups then they are fair game for collective criticism.”
Extremely well said. Also they’re constantly saying that whites are what holds them down. If that’s true why do they even want to be closer to whites, why aren’t they doing better in schools where they are the majority? I would think they would want more not less segregation.
The answer can be found in “The Bell Curve”.
But the lack of respect for getting an education, to the point of ostracizing kids that do take it seriously, is eye poppingly foolish and I believe the largest block to blacks making real progress in the country.
Embrace the suck.
“Slavery ended 400 years ago” - Yikes!
From the article: At a time when schools across the country are slipping toward resegregation
Not just schools. Neighborhoods are becoming less integrated by choice. The trend among blacks is to move back to black areas.
I live in Howard County. My son was robbed while in a bathroom by two yutes. So we’re going to get more of the same? Awesome.
“It is dislike of a culture (promoted by many blacks and some whites) which encourages impulsive behavior, short-term thinking, dislike of real education, dislike of high standards of behavior, criminal activity, hatred of whites (and hispanics for that matter), and refusal to conform to the norms of civilization.”
And why, after hundreds of years of being immersed into our culture, even forced to adopt our culture, have American blacks not adopted it? Culture doesn’t come out of thin air, I firmly believe that our cultural likes and dislikes have genetic components.
Thanks. Already read it. Seems you have a chip on your shoulder. In the age of hoaxes, I’d hold my fire.
Maybe you should read up on that kid who will most likely turn out to be a more productive member of society than the people making those comments.
Interesting and _very_ complex topic—which cannot even be discussed or studied in our current toxic politically correct environment.
Every social science “solution” has just made the problem worse.
I just observe what is in front of my face (and ignore all the “experts”), and I observe that whites are second class citizens today.
