Too bad Lincoln didn’t live long enough to carry out the plan to have all the Africans go back to their homelands after the Civil War. They would have been so happy there.

Here you go you pathetic piece of garbage..

PLD to PLD

Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago instead of Iraq....
Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.
221 killed in Iraq, AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US. (Only criminals have guns.)

Here’s the Chicago chain of command:

·President: Barack Hussein Obama
·Senator: Dick Durbin

House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.

Governor: Pat Quinn
·House leader: Mike Madigan
·Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
·Mayor: Rahm Emanuel (don’t forget 4 decades of Daley’s)
·The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
·Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago.
·Of course, they’re all blaming each other.
·Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!
·Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!
·State pension fund $96 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!
·Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!
·This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to ‘fix’Washington politics for us???
·George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house.
·Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is...that’s right, also in the big house.
·And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of months ago. That is because he is fighting to prevent being sent to...that’s right, the big house.
·The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.

But you know what?

As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.

Not only did rich, white people ruin our skools - they also shoved ten thousand Big Macs down my gullet. Oh - and gave me this hairstyle.

“When will we address the fact that rich, white people, think they know what’s in the best interest of children of African Americans and Latinos—no matter what the parent’s income or education level,”

When will we address the fact that leftist teachers and school administrators think they know what’s in the best interest of children no matter what their parent’s think.

Dilbert, it is most politically IN-correct of you to bring up factual information on a minority education thread. One more such breach of the agreed-upon interracial etiquette and I shall have to, HAVE TO I say, report you to the Moderator.

BTW, do we have Afro-American Moderators? If not, by all means get some.

Don’t believe for one minute that she’s anything but a cohort and conspirator with Rahm Emmanuel.

They sit on the same side of the table.

Teachers are role models? Well some teachers might be and some definitely are not setting good examples.

What’s your salary+benefits, Karen?

Per some 2012 article, she makes almost $300k in salary and benefits.

If we faced the elephant in the room we would face the fact that most black children learn racism while still on the Mother’s tit.

As long as they blame everything bad in their lives on Whitey and not on their own lack of gaining the education that is afforded them they will never improve their lot.

The education is there, but it cannot be poured into their heads, they have to study they have to attain a level of proficiency on their own.

That is the elephant that is being ignored.

Would the last white person (or middle class black person) who evacuates from Chicago please call one of the remaining white or middle class black persons foolishly still living in Detroit and tell them “Ha, Ha, we beat you to it!”

Maywood & Proivso don’t have CPS schools, so she doesn’t care about them.

I heard that Lewis might run for mayor, in 2015. Will any conservative and/or Republican run? If so, who will run? I hope that Bill Kelly, Dan Proft, or Dan Schmitt will run.
