Cage match.
“”Everybody over there is racist and discriminatory,” Summers said, of House Republicans. “Those that aren’t and are not standing up for what’s right, they’ve got white privilege and they’re racist too.”
uh-huh.
this is getting very VERY little discussion in the local media other than the OMGZ -der GOP is teh RACISS!
No talk about the bill or where all this hate speech from the dems are coming from - just that the white evil GOP decepticons boo’d the heroic black autobots in the statehouse.
When EVERYTHING is ‘racist,’ NOTHING is ‘racist.’
its not because of race blacks are self perceiving they are ‘lacking’ anything
if you dont spend time studying, you wont get the same results as people who study
you also wont get jobs that require better educated people
if you dont work as hard as others you won’t make as much
no one is rebuking the mantra its about systemic racism
its not
its about a culture that no longer values personal education and personal betterment
personal betterment helps the individual and the society that person belongs to
Weird. That said, busing and the breakup of local schools was one of the worst ideas ever. It added to tensions rather than reducing them.
But it wasn’t really about race. I worked in a public school in San Francisco that was in a middle class white area, and then suddenly they began busing in black children from one of the worst, most depressed areas of the city. These kids immediately set to beating up and robbing the white kids on the playground, even under the eyes of the teachers. So the white parents then began withdrawing their kids and sending them to private schools.
But one of the black teachers I worked with said the very truth: it wasn’t about race, it was simply that you couldn’t possibly put kids who were from single mother, almost-illiterate, drug-infested homes, were surrounded by crime and survived by being violent, into a normal middle class environment.
This was true, because while most of the kids from the neighborhood were white, there were some black students...who were often the focus of attacks by the bused in blacks, because they were considered “soft” and “wanting to be white.” They actually just wanted to work hard, get good grades, get into college and live a good life, but that was outside the scope of the bused-in group.
So in my teacher friend’s opinion, it was a cultural clash where the under-class meets the rest of the world, not about race. And she was absolutely right.
I don’t believe it either.
So once again, Democrats oppose desegregation, oppose busing, oppose white schools getting black students... and this time they say it is racist to bus black kids to white schools.
History is amazing.
kudos to these Indiana Republicans
So resolving a transportation issue is racist? So White kids should be forced to be in the racially diverse schools because resolving a transportation issue would allow more of the White kids to go to less diverse schools (outcome)?
DANG!
Do the parents in the white school district get a say in whether they want black kids buses in? Of course not.
The “black” man tried to place the race card, and the GOP reps knew the bill had zero to do with “race”.
