Stupid Black Parents

Stupid Black Parents

At least that’s the impression one got when visiting the New Jersey Education Association web site before a couple of days ago.

The teachers union made an admirable attempt to involve parents in the education of their children. The site made available a brochure for PDF download called “Getting Involved In Your Child’s School”. It also came in three versions.

The first was called “A Parent’s Resource”. The second was translated into Spanish, and the last version was called the “African-American Version”

I say “was” because the African-American version was removed. It wasn’t removed by racists to deny black parents valuable information available to everyone else. No, it was removed because it was there and what was in it.

Those of you who’ve read my past columns know I firmly believe some liberals believe black people are intellectually inferior. That’s why they fight so hard for programs like Affirmative Action that justifies their sentiment (and pity) that blacks need an extra push since they’re just too damn stupid to make it on their own. Well, guess what? Even though the Jersey teacher’s union tried to hide it, but the truth is out there.

While I can certainly understand their having a Spanish translation for hispanic parents, the school has a lot of gall even considering that they might need to provide a simplified version for black parents.

I wonder if the Spanish version was just translated or if it was simplified too.

I think with more and more people standing up and exposing the racist liberals and their mindset about Black Americans the tide will turn against them and they will find they are the KKK party along with Byrd and no Black American will ever want to be a part of the democratic party. Instead they will run so fast away from the dims that the dims won't know what hit them.

I was thrown by the appearance of the word "her" before "his" in the phrase "...than by working together to meet her or his education needs."

We are definately living in a new millenium.

I can only wish that were the case. Thing is the democRATs act like they care so they get a pass on their racism. If a conservative exposes racist liberals for what they are, then it's the conservative who's being racist by doing it. It's truly a sad state of affairs.

From the story above that exposes these liberal rats! Click the source for an eye opener! Give Mr. Parks a medal for exposing this.

WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR A PARENT VOLUNTEER?
The basic requirements are simple. You should:
• Enjoy working with children
• Have an interest in education and the community
• Feel a commitment to the goals of the parent program
• Want to help
• Be dependable and in good health
As you can see, it is very easy to qualify–and the rewards are great.

Okay, I guess black folk don’t need to “Feel a commitment”. If I haven’t yet made my point, this last example should bring the point home, that is unless you’re a black parent from New Jersey….

Well, then clearly you must be sexist if the use of her before his threw you.

Incidentally, since you didn't object to the missing its before her and his, then you obviously must be a homophobe as well. :=)

And some of the qualifications are BS anyhow. "Feel" a commitment. Gee. What happened to "choosing" one? And are parents with illnesses expected just to butt out?

1. Parent Version
WHAT IS A PARENT INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM?
You and the teacher share a deep concern for your child’s welfare, and there is no better way to encourage your child’s growth and development than by working together to meet her or his education needs.

Well, it seems the only difference is that they left out some big words. In this case “welfare” and “development”. I think we’ll soon see a pattern….

The racism inherent in the Left's treatment of blacks is clearly on display here, as it is so often. It is simply amazing that they manage to get 90% of their vote.

Absolutely no surprise whatsoever. Many of us have been saying for years that liberals / educrats look down upon blacks; they consider them little more than children that must be patted on the head, taken by the hand, spoken to in soothing tones, and told exactly what to do. Of course, they just know that blacks are wholly incapable of achieving or progressing or succeeding on their own, poor little dears.

If I was black, this would piss me off royally.......and I'd run to the nearest voter registration office to change my Party affiliation.

What did you expect after all these years of quotas for blacks? These versions are proof positive supporting the critics of affirmative action for blacks, lower standards produce lower quality, in this case the quality of parents. The NEA has just admitted such.
