The Chicago Public Schools are doing a miserable job educating the children of that troubled city. At Matt Rosenberg of Wirepoints notes, the school system has every incentive to try to redirect anger over its failures onto society as a whole, specifically to white racism. It is via Wirepoints that I learned of the video embedded below and saw these basic statistics on the CPS’s abject failures:
Rosenberg ably excerpts some of the most remarkable assertions of the video, but in order to fully grasp the level of hatred being expressed, it is worthwhile listening to the almost 7 minutes of the rant, in which the speaker, author Kimberly Jones, credits participating on Operation Push (Jesse Jackson’s old outfit) for her level of economic sophistication (such as it is).

“Wealthy black people (are) making the commentary…we should not be rioting, we should not be looting, we should not be tearing up our own communities. And then there’s been the argument…we should be hitting them in the pocket…where we don’t spend any money – but I feel like we should do both, and I support both.”
Of looters who struck in Chicago and other cities:
“their only hope and their only opportunity to get some of the things that we flaunt and flash in front of them all the time is to walk through a broken glass window and get it.” .
That’s bad enough. But then comes the endorsement of guerilla action and arson as a form of entitled social protest. Jones later in the video adds:
“If the social contract is broken why the f*** do I give a s*** about burning the f****** Football Hall of Fame, and burning the f******Target…f*** your Target, f***your Hall of Fame. As far as I’m concerned they can burn this b**** to the ground. And it still wouldn’t be enough.”
Is there any way to fix the schools in the blue-hive cities?
I bet if she went and looked shed see Target donates millions to her inner city issues.
The Chicago Public School administrators and board members responsible for making this video available on the website should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to publiclybe hanged for giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.
As long as they blame their failure on the object of their hate, they will continue to fail.
Probably not. Those on the west side of the Bell Curve could have been decent, productive citizens, as they once were, long ago. Not overly bright, but not everyone need be so. The Great Society, welfare, wokeness and critical race nonsense has produced generations of savages. Now we are reaping the result. Our cities are dead or dying. Our society is on life support.
Note to taxpayers in that neck of the woods: Want to take care of this problem?
Audit it.
(hint, hint...)
1. Fire each and every 'teacher' who isn't able to pass basic testing in the subject areas they are supposed to be teaching.
2. Do NOT allow teachers to use the classroom as a political soapbox.
3. Allow non-union teachers.
4. Give bonuses to teachers whose students perform well on standardized testing (administered by a third party).
5. Have a strict dress code that does not allow 'bling' of any kind.
These are just for starters, and are unlikely to be helpful unless the entire culture of the inner cities changes, gangs are disbanded etc. The sad thing is that it took generations for things to get to this point, and it will take generations for things to improve sufficiently.
Weaponizing feral blacks, one student at a time.
We can all conjure up something to be angry about. But it seems to me, that blacks are mad that their culture and traditions cannot compete economically within the United States. Welfare did not help. Affirmative action did not help. Children out of wedlock did not help. Murder in inner cities did not help. Rap culture did not help. Black Liberation Theology did not help, CRT does not help, rioting and looting does does not help. Obama did not help.
The only thing that will help is turn to God for guidance, work hard at whatever job you are capable of, get married, stay married, raise your kids to be good citizens with a work ethic reflected by your own actions, value education, be content with what you have and hope for a better future for your kids.
Upon examining the premise of equality of capability and the societal construct of the playing field, there are two possible conclusions, either the premise of equality of capability is false, or indeed the economic playing field is biased in favor of whites.
The elephant in the room says that much has been studied regarding the lesser innate intelligence of American blacks. The “Bell Curve” and other studies around the world have come to this conclusion. It does not mean the black Americans are less human or less valuable in the eyes of God. So I pose that the premise of equality of capability is false. Why should this not be possible? White men can’t jump.
The minority standing on the sideline only see the outcome of the creativity, dedication and hard work of those that choose to compete. He assumes that all those people have succeeded with capabilities similar to his. This is an error. But his conclusion is that the playing field must be tipped in favor of the whites. What to do?
The best revenge for minorities against White Privilege is to compete and succeed. If you believe that the "playing field" is not level then you have two choices, compete anyway and work even harder to succeed, or go find another playing field.
The other playing field would be to succeed within your own minority community. Black owned businesses in Black neighborhoods, buying from Black distributors and producers.
Minorities will never find a solution in expecting whites to tip the playing field in their direction. The two groups have a completely different view of the field of competition. I think that whites go about their lives competing on the field of life and don't even see the blacks on the sidelines. Blacks stand on the sidelines and have no idea how to get on the field. For some reason they think they need to ask permission of the whites to play?
Just step on the field and compete! Or don't. It’s up to you. But don't blame it on whites if you can't.
How about hold down a job and save up? Delayed gratification?
Just kidding. Everybody knows that ain't gonna happen ;-)
“their only hope and their only opportunity to get some of the things that we flaunt and flash in front of them all the time is to walk through a broken glass window and get it.” .
I have 37 years of professional work experience, and prior to as a teenager I painted houses, mowed lawns, shoveled snow and worked fast food. I’d like Ghettopottomas to know that NOTHING I have was handed to me, there was no privilege or freebie given to me for being white. I had to get educated, learn skills, build a reputation and continue to add value - or it is all gone. I’ve been laid off three times due to corporate downsizing. The nice home, my vehicles, everything - depends on the decisions and actions I take each day.
Her hatred and envy of others will get her nowhere. She needs a GED, a desire to work hard, and a mirror. That latter to remind her who is responsible for who.
That’s what pains me most about this story. Opportunity for a much better life is out there. This failed culture she belongs to is her worst enemy and has had multi-generational impact. It cannot be forever sustainable by productive/contributing members of society, the free-shit parade will eventually come to an end.
Won’t be hiring any non-white engineers from Chicago, that’s for sure.
Then move the lessons to city hall.
Yes there is. All monies collected for education should be dispersed to the individual parents as vouchers for them to spend at any school they choose, not just for the "blue hive cities" but everywhere.
Costs will go down and quality of education will go up.
All forms of Critical Theory are nothing more than communist crap
“their only hope and their only opportunity to get some of the things that we flaunt and flash in front of them all the time is to walk through a broken glass window and get it.”
Isn’t that what the Jan. 6 participants did...walk through broken glass (windows) to get our corrupt government to listen to our complaints? The blacks can loot and burn with impunity and the white folk get incarceration without bail or trial for years. This is our world today.
Nothing will ever stop this. As long as people can be convinced their incompetence is due to others, the others will be despised by the incompetent.
It is left wing policies that cause this anger.
I have family members in public education.
Agree with many of your points. Problem with holding individual teachers accountable is that education is a cumulative process.
How can you reasonably hold accountable a 12th grade teacher for his-her students testing performance when they have been socially promoted for years and have math, reading or language skills of a 6th grader?
The system is so screwed up and politically charged that is probably un-salvageable.
