Fun thought experiment: Imagine if some union head had attacked "poor black parents". How big would the media firestorm be?

I don't get the basis of her complaints. Like not that I don't agree, I just don't get what she is trying to argue.

Is it how white flight to the suburbs is bankrupting inner city schools? Is it because she doesn't feel that white leaders of the inner city Chicago Public Schools made good decisions when it came to running these schools?


Has there EVER been any rationality behind blaming whitey? :confused:

It's always just been a finger to point at with no reasoning. The reason they get away with finger pointing? Because the people they are pointing the finger at can't point back due to retarded societal double standards.

Yet people wonder why racism still exists, go figure :rolleyes:

She is clearly one of the benefactors of freedom of approved speech where there will be no repercussions. This is one of the great achievements of the racists of our time, it's approved and encouraged to be racist as long as you target the right group.



For the rest of us simply used to freedom of speech, be careful what you say it may have consequences.

In a lightly reported story another racist had this to say,

UPenn professor: Racist GOP opposes abortion to protect white supremacy

Republicans oppose abortion because they fear losing the white majority in America, claimed a University of Pennsylvania professor.
Salamishah Tillet, an associate English professor at UPenn, made the comments during a recent appearance on MSNBC. She said that Republicans didn’t like abortion because they want white people to have more babies and perpetuate the race, according to Newsmax.
“Women’s bodies, white women’s bodies in particular, are a crucial way of reproducing whiteness, white supremacy, white privilege,” she said.
Kirsten Powers of Fox News criticized Tillet’s argument, pointing out that black women have far more abortions than white women.
“If you were a white supremacist, you would actually support abortion,” said Powers.
Tillet also teaches in two other departments at UPenn: Africana Studies and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. She is the author of “Sites of Slavery: Citizenship and Racial Democracy in the Post-Civil Rights Imagination.”
The editors of The College Fix argue that Tillet’s views on Republicans and race should concern conservatives..
“Tillet is shaping the hearts and minds of students through the classes she teaches,” wrote The College Fix. “Young, impressionable minds hear Tillet’s point of view on race and gender all semester long, and it’s not a stretch to assume the opinions she proffered on national television are similar to the ones she gives inside her Africana and women’s studies classes. And then we wonder why the GOP is seen as bad guys by college-aged voters?”

Thanks to PC culture the inmates now run the asylum.

It's been made quite clear for years now that if you oppose something that a racist wants or believes in, you can be discounted due to "racism". The goal and outcome is to end debate and destroy your arguments because.... racism.

Fall in line and don't dissent from the powers that be,.. you are racist idiots anyways.

The important thing is that it's someone else's fault. The students, parents, teachers and school administrators are all blameless.

They did, does Michelle Rhee ring a bell? However the new mayor-elect promptly pressed her to resign in favor of a new chancellor who has more traditional democratic means of improving schools - widespread cheating on standardized tests.

Yep. Rhee and Fenty (former DC mayor) tried their best to improve DC school district (one of the worse in the US) but the school union did not want to change the status quo and both of them were gone.

Back to business as usual, racing down to the bottom while blaming everything on whiteys, of course.

I liked this part:



"Rich white people" do know what's best for African American and Latino children - that is, the same thing those rich white people are (usually) providing for their own kids: stable, two-parent households. If that sort of household is good for the Obama children, it's probably good for the rest of Chicago's children as well.

This. Broken homes suck no matter what color you are.

Agree. The libs don't want this though. They need a permanent underclass to manipulate. This idiot is a prime example of this.

That is very true. Rich people in general are an oligarchy running the US Government. They went to war with the middle class in the mid 70s and have pretty much throttled it. Their time is coming though. We will have vengeance on their greedy traitorous asses.

Regarding the Chicago situation.... its the PARENTS stupid. Fix the parent and the problem goes away.

You still think some revolution is going to happen don't you? You feel there must be enough people filled with the amount of rage you have towards successful people. Your best shot at a revolution was the occupy movement, and all that turned into was a grouping of unwashed hippies looking for govermnet handouts.

You still haven't thought it through what you plan to have for an economy once you throw the rich and their corporations out of the country.

Put an iPhone in the retarded low to lower-middle class hands and they are distracted for life. Free sheep for the liberal gooberment as long as you get them to not pay attention to anything.
