This Mostly White City Wants To Leave Its Mostly Black School District

[agent00f]

And....the race card gets thrown at me again. I'd love to post pictures of my family here, but I won't, because I won't draw them into this. At this Christmas dinner, I will be the only white person at the table. Asians, Mexicans and Black relatives, all in total 18 + me. Yeah, that probably makes this patriarch a racist...

So why do you identify far more with chucky/roflmouth/anonymouseUser/bannon's of the world than democratic centrism? Would you perchance be at the head of the table?

The modern definition of racism depends primarily on your willingness to accept redistributionist taxes and policies meant to "enhance" the prospects of others by reducing your own. It's not enough to simply marry someone of another race or not discriminate against them in hiring, you need to do what this school district is being asked to do and sacrifice your own child's education under the theory that your money and kid's presence will somehow make a poor inner city kid have an epiphany and start wanting to learn.

With modernity comes a better understanding of systemic racism, and the motivation to further such for self-interest. For example, it's pretty obvious your sort won't utter a bad thing about chucky, rolfmouth, anonymouseUser or any of the Genocide Is Right types much less the Bannon/O'Reilly's, or even bother to distance themselves--all the while running their mouth trashing run of the mill centrists. This is the realistic picture of America that much of the country will labor to hide; understandably so given how embarrassing it is.

As a parent I just have to ask this question. If your children were A/B students who applied themselves and their school wanted to preserve its academic integrity by separating itself from a failing school system would you protest it? I certainly wouldn't want my children subjected to a lowered standard of learning on account of other people depriving them of a better education The fact is that there are students in every classroom that fail their course because they didn't apply themselves and it is nobody's fault but their own..

There must be more to the story.

I'm accustomed to seeing school districts merge in order to save costs. By splitting up, the new school district would incur (duplicative) administrative costs. I suspect that there are numerous, long running, problems/complaints/disagreements that make these people willing to incur additional costs.

A charge of racism from that useless idiot (who is himself the biggest racist on the forum) is worth about as much as a strip of used toilet paper.

That question was open to the field. What makes these people identify more with the alt-right klan than democratic centrism, much less western liberalism?

 

[chucky2]

It's a good thing someone's providing content other than how much this is a white country plus this and that about libards.

And I very much thank you for providing your content, without it, reading this forum would be less enjoyable. Who can consistently fail more than you? No one (well, at least recently). The lulz you provide are like a public service, please, continue onwards, I myself get a kick out of your repeated fail.

I see some bonding going on. It's touching.

Funny even the likes of you are so easily scared into just getting mouthy about me instead of any klan wisdoms I'm sure you're itching to reveal. I'll even help you out: Bill O'Reilly's been talking about the white establishment. What do you think they should do about the inner city predominantly minority schools?

Since BLM says not to spend money at places owned by white people, Then it should be OK for white people to do the same right?

You don't want to spend money at places owned by white people? That's ok.

There might be problems, but people have long considered their own petty tribalism as far more important than anything else, so theres no given about there being many problems.

First off I would like to see this proof that "BLM" says to not spend money at places owned by white people. And I dont want something said by 1 person or a few people who participate in BLM, they are individuals who are a part of BLM but are not BLM themselves. Honestly I really dont know much about BLM, but I doubt its some concrete centralized organization, it more seems like a political movement, and thus there is no central authority to come out and say something like that.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

The poorer communities that cannot adequately fund their own schools end up getting inferior educations which just perpetuates the cycle of poverty that prevails in their communities.

Are students from poor families getting a bad education because the schools are non-functional or is it because of bad parentage? IMHO, parenting is by far the most important element in determining educational success regardless of how much money you throw at schools.

Linked article in OP is misleading to say the least. That being said, why wouldn't a parent if able, provide a better school (or anything for that matter) for their children to attend? The black population is significantly lower in our zip code/school zone than state wide. Or even city wide. Schools were one of the two biggest factors when we moved.

The whole point of modern civilization, aka western liberalism, is to maximize opportunity/results for the entire population--in contrast to some in power (eg the king) providing only the best for theirs (eg their kid).

This is just one of the problems, no real structure. To answer your question, yes. Is anyone denouncing the comments from BLM? It's not like it's a single person saying it, it's an official chapter of BLM, a rather large one too.

When in the military, we were told don't talk to the press, and if you do be very aware you're representing the entire Marine Corps when you speak. No different.

Yes it is different.

If some marine had been running off his mouth, you would be saying that he is a disgrace, and that the rest of the marine corps is not like that, but you arent willing to give the same treatment to other organizations you dont like.

But thats besides the point of you misrepresenting what they said, even if it was bullshit. They said dont go Christmas shopping because it supports white corporatist imperialism, they didnt say anything about not shopping at stores just because they are owned by white people.

What is Twitter used for? Spreading your opinion and message. It's obvious they're spreading the message. Speaking for BLM. There is no real structure, so the ATL chapter speaks for BLM. Nobody "higher" has denounced the comments.

I don't see you making this argument when someone from the "left" or a "conservative" makes a statement. All the time the entire population is lumped into a whole from the actions or comments of one or a few. Same for cops on these boards. One cop does something deemed bad, landslide of blanket comments about all cops. But you don't fight that fight, hmm. Attempting to claim the comment made don't represent the entirety of BLM is silly. You're obviously not going to change your stance, neither am I. No point in me going 'round and 'round about it.

Rather makes sense some people who get shafted might have something to say about the shafters. Also makes sense those doing the shafting would want to keep it that way therefore insist nothing is wrong.

Haha man/woman/whatever, don't think of it as me getting 'mouthy' (and scared?...LOL you are lolerskates crazy), think of it as me having fun at your expense and putting a quarter into my AgentFail entertainment machine and getting yet more Failtainment from you.

Not a great move to keep proving me right. I recommend more racist rants to make the conservatives' silence ever more deafening.

It's an outstanding move, each time you post it's free entertainment for the rest of us. If you can get the mods to OK me pointing out Reality, that'd be great! Have'em post it up here and I'll give it a try. <.25c dropping into tray, waiting on new AgentFail track...> lulz
