Oregon Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon legislators who passed this bill have no redeeming social value other than to be charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced to publicly hang for blatantly giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. And their carcasses should be left to rot off the noose.

Then there are no black inventors and those brilliant women in the movie HIDDEN FIGURES were frauds..Obviously, white men did all these things..... Blacks are way too stupid to do anything that includes reading or math.....

Because it’s not skin color, it’s culture.

Go into any inner city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can’t teach our kids to learn — they know that parents have to teach, that children can’t achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white. They know those things.

"Could the reason be it’s because blacks pursue degrees in the soft sciences; the ones that basically have zero value?"

There's that. Then there's a whole host of other factors.

The Libs are always keen to state "household incomes" way more often than "individual incomes". You're supposed to forget that waaaayyy more black households than white households have one parent incomes.

There's also the "raising a family" income comparisons. You're supposed to forget that for whatever reason the average age for making babies among blacks is younger than with whites. Obviously a toddler raised in a household with parents who are 20 years old isn't liable to be in as wealthy a household as a toddler who's parents are 27.

Another factor virtually nobody else knows is average age in general. Let's say you have two people who are the same in every way such as career choice, whether or not they're married while raising kids, the age they started raising kids, etc. If the only thing I told you that was different is that one is black and the other is white, the odds are that the black person is way younger (I read the average age is 20 something) than the white person (average age 50 something). Basically, I'm a 50 something year old software engineer who makes way more money than I did when I was in my 20's as a junior programmer --- much like almost everybody else does in whatever career they go into. So just the age demographics alone make it tough for blacks to "compete" with whites -- and it'd be unrealistic to expect employers to pay them as much (on aggregate) given their relative lack of experience. No one says 20 year old apprentice welders should be paid as much as welders with decades of experience. That'd be unrealistic. Now that you know the average age of blacks is way lower than whites you see how unrealistic it is to expect blacks on average to make the same as whites even within the same occupations.

That’s blatantly racist.

IOW, people of color are too dumb to learn.

So, let’s let them graduate with no skills or education that would have benefited them in the real world. That would put them further behind than they are now, but then, democrats never really cared about blacks or other minorities. It’s all about keeping people ignorant and dumb and clueless and, mostly, DEPENDENT on government, since it’s dependency that forces people to vote for the freebies.

There are several black inventors. Carver was one for example, as was the guy that invented the self oiler for trains (”The Real McCoy”)

I have worked with and studied with several very intelligent African Americans. One was, as I used to joke with him “A higher breed of cat” than my old farm boy roots are.

To say they are to stupid, is stupid.

It can be argued that you are correct but that those individuals mentioned are outliers, exceptions to the norm

My current position if that the Powers That Be have pretty much perfected their system and that they now own about 330 million slaves in the US. The beauty of it is that the slaves don’t even know that they are slaves. Some of them work very hard indeed. Some don’t work at all. But, on the whole, the current slave economy works as planned.

NOTE: Around the globe, all economies have been principally based on slave labor for over 4000 years. There was a brief period in recent history when free people controlled their own economic efforts. It was very short-lived.

So....in the future when they don’t get job advancements like everyone else, it’s due to racism, eh?

Dorothy figured that out in the ‘Wizard of Oz’. If you can’t give someone a brain, give them a diploma. It clearly doesn’t help a bit. It just groups the ones who deserve a diploma in with the ones who don’t. Don’t hire anyone from that school.

NOW it's readable...  https://www.gutenberg.org/files/18346/18346-h/18346-h.htm

 

 

Chester Pelton retracted his paunch as far as the breakfast seat would permit; the table, its advent preceded by a collection of mouth-watering aromas, slid noiselessly out of the pantry and clicked into place in front of him.

"Everything all right, Miss Claire?" a voice floated out after it from beyond. "Anything else you want?"

"Everything's just fine, Mrs. Harris," Claire replied. "I suppose Mr. Pelton'll want seconds, and Ray'll probably want thirds and fourths of everything." She waved a hand over the photocell that closed the pantry door, and slid into place across from her brother, who already had a glass of fruit juice in one hand and was lifting platter covers with the other.

"Real eggs!" the boy was announcing. "Bacon. Wheat-bread toast." He looked again. "Hey, Sis, is this real cow-made butter?"

"Yes. Now go ahead and eat."

As though Ray needed encouragement, Chester Pelton thought, watching his son use a spoon—the biggest one available—to dump gobs of honey on his toast. While he was helping himself to bacon and eggs, he could hear Ray's full-mouthed exclamation: "This is real bee-comb honey, too!" That pleased him. The boy was a true Pelton; only needed one bite to distinguish between real and synthetic food.
