Lewis asked, "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."

It is surprising to me that she is not called out for her blatant racism, but then this country for the most part has accepted the lie that minorities can’t be racist because they do not have power (also a lie, in this country minorities have inordinate power)

Why is it that there are huge numbers of hugely successful individuals in this country that have risen from poor under class families with illiterate parents yet this woman believes that poor minorities are incapable of achieving similar feats.

How can people believe this woman who will tell you on one occasion that blacks are not inherently inferior to whites and to suggest that it is racist yet on this occasion she tells you that you can not expect blacks to achieve similar educational levels as whites given similar backgrounds.

Why will no one call this woman on her racism against minorities?

Simple. Because it would be racist. /S

Well, we know who the neo-racists are. She’s dumber than a box of rocks to go public with her vitriol and anti-white racist sentiment.

Speaking of “rich white people” she’s been eating way more than her fair share of rich foods.

How gluttonous!

And she looks like she’s 75% white 25% black.

She should look in the mirror.

Did I screw up in posting?

Those words were directed at Lewis.

Sorry for any confusion I may have created.

“Whom will they blame when there are no more rich white people?”

This is the problem faced by Detroit.

So, which white people are to blame?

If we don't live there, we don't set your policies, pick your teachers, work in your schools, just how in even the fertile manure heap of the Chicago mind do we have any influence?

One of the first things I learned in the oil patch, and for that matter, in life, is that you own your mistakes.

If you don't, you will never learn from them.

Well, Mizz Lewis, your whole system is a cluster f***, and you are the head of it. Own it. Then fix it yourself, 'cause frankly, the rest of us are so tired of hearing how it is our fault we don't care if you stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

I’m sick of criminals and fascists hiding their crimes behind a vagina or a color of skin, you name it. This is disgusting. Just as muslims should reject AlQaeda and all those Hamas outfits, gender race politics like this should have no retarded comfort in America.

The meme is this.

As rich white people leave the failing city districts, the tax revenue falls. The schools lose funding, and that drives more and more rich white people to flee.

They are looking for tax revenue from the suburbs, and potentially state wide (or farther).

My wife fights that at her school. She has helped some students. They come up to us after graduation, sometimes years later, to thank her.

But they are the exception. There is a strong culture of failure that they have to escape first. It is like an Indian Reservation in many ways.

Chicago teachers (at least a majority of them) are idiots for having this sack-o-crap represent them. If they are too stupid to make a better choice, then they are far too stupid to educate my kids. They are part of the reason we moved to the ‘burbs.

How much control have those rich white folk had in Chicago schools, or simply Chicago itself, for the past decades? Now that the Federal government is controlled by minority Chicago folk, has that helped any? Didn't think so.
