“In Private Meeting, Joe Biden Said Part of Education Problem in Black Communities is that ‘Parents Can’t Read or Write Themselves’”

I won’t deny it was a TOTALLY STUPID thing to say, but I’ll also point out even if that were the case (which it generally is not), what about the millions of IMMIGRANTS who don’t know a word of English, and have kids here who are doctors?

“I knew other blacks from ghetto upbringings who also had writing problems”

Teach them PHONICS when they’re 3 or 4 and they will literally RUN CIRCLES around whites and others educated in the ‘latest trends’ - WITHOUT A DOUBT. I’ve seen that first-hand.

I agree with everything you say and what’s worse is it’s not just limited to poor urban areas.

I helped a few friends’ kids write their resumes after college.

No they weren’t awful.

But they were what I would expect more from a high school senior or college freshman.

What’s more insane is that there were exclamation marks everywhere and some emojis :)

and HAVE A GREAT DAY!

WTH!!?!?!??

Dont they even prepare kids to put a resume together.

But they are still light years ahead of many minority students.

I think blacks would be disappointed as a group to find out that we don’t hate them.

They’d find out we don’t really think about them.

I dont think about white or asian people either.

I just live my life.

All that anger is for nothing.

Blacks are like the Palestinians..led around by the ear into incredible self damage.

What a shame.

Heck, it’s not just the parents, some of the teachers in inner city schools are barely literate themselves.

Oh, and math? Fuggetaboutit.

Of course, Joe or anyone else on the left can’t mention any of that. It’s kind of a 3rd rail subject with leftists.

Wow.

To be able to work with technology but not read or write well. Boy.

I’m glad you defended him.

I guess being illiterate and practically illiterate aren’t too far apart.

I worked in various graphics dept’s at investment banks and if you couldn’t read an write Very Well, then you might as well have not been able to read or write at all.

The DNC has ‘had enough’ of Joe.
But they’re not at war with him just yet.
When the DNC goes full bore, scorched earth At War with Joe,you will know it.

That will be when you see women and children being interviewed about having been touched or sniffed or oogled at by Uncle Joe. Ellen or Wendy (Brickhaus) William are likely to be the one’s interviewing the poor traumatized victims.

Just shows how insidious the media is. Had Biden maintained frontrunner status they would have buried this story.

“”The Vice President regularly talks about how his father’s experience has shaped the way he feels about and views the relationship between parents and their children’s learning””

What a crock!!! He lived his whole life depending on how his father felt about things? This guy needs to be put away in a nut house! He lies every time he opens his mouth....

If that’s true - not saying it isn’t - that does not relive the schools from the responsibility of according adults respect.
Because if you don’t respect the parents, what chance is there that the school will have parental support?

Maybe Joe should have spent a little time teaching Humper to not be a drug-addled, SIL screwing, deadbeat Dad

The average black IQ is 85, with 75-80 representing the approx cut-off for literacy. It's just simple genetics.

However, if controversy can be leveraged to gain power, wealth and control, then any/all basic facts of life can be subject to dispute/interpretation.

That being said, the next generation's "moon shot" is going to be applied gene therapies. Since IQ is simply a function of volume & connectivity, these bio factors are encoded in DNA.

Just like dentistry may be put out of business when mole/beaver teeth genes are spliced, so too may be social conventions when any/every one can select methods to increase mental capacities and capabilities.

Of course, along with these types of fundamental aspects, cosmetics will experience the first major interest. Skin/hair/eye color, texture, appearance, etc will soon be a pick & choose smorgasbord of options.

Biden is indeed toast. . But it’s way too early to bet against Bloomberg. The Democrat powers-that-be may decide he is the only alternative to Sanders.

“They’d find out we don’t really think about them.”

That’s why they had to move out of the “deep ‘hood” with their Black Lies Matter protests years ago; if they just tore up the housing taxpayers provided for them, nobody would care. When those taxpayers couldn’t get to work because of BLM protests, we had to care.

A friend that works in Newark NJ described her company’s reaction to the Simbas occupying some intersections downtown: “Work from home”.

That is why cities died; with technology, you didn’t need to be physically within their limits to do many jobs anymore.

I’m convinced Hillary (who still controls the DNC) is going to be ‘reluctantly’ drafted at a brokered convention. She’ll agree to do one term with Michelle Obama as her VP. Michelle takes over after that.

No way they let Bernie or Buttplug get the nomination.
