Libs, get a clue.It isn't Whites or racism holding Blacks down.

The Netherlands is roughly the size of the State of Maryland (with essentially no BLACK people). Your comparison is apples & oranges. Any govt could excel at education if they only had 17 million white people to educate.

 

an excuse? ok while you are here lecturing us yanks, might I remind you of how we spend more on education than you do as a percentage GDP http://www.oecd.org/education/CN - United States.pdf

and I'd also like to remind you of the recent formation of your muslim ghettos. The Netherlands must certainly be some kind of racist, bigoted, 'conservative' hellhole..

Really, it was federal law? Gasp! Why no, no it was not. Perhaps you should -- you know -- actually study what real Apartheid was all about. Who knows, it might do some good. That aside, the Civil Rights legislation kicked into across the nation activity in the 1960s. So leftwingers are saying that Blacks are . . . what? Too stupid to better themselves? Too lazy? Other downtrodden groups got up and out with no help whatsoever and yet Blacks -- with windows of opportunity endlessly being held open just for them -- are inherently incapable of doing what everyone else did sans any help at all? Wow!

 

If some could destroy or erase ALL record of such images, they would. But thank goodness, technology has made that less possible than before.

And the reality that I personally KNOW people who can tell me about the time depicted in such images, makes it as real to me as my own experiences from that era.

Some people want that time to be forgotten; and foolish they are... especially since it wasn't as long ago as they try to imagine.

More racist BS.

Back to 'ignore' with you.

Regards.

 

And some people want to keep wallowing in it from one generation to the next until it entirely destroys any motivation young people might have to rise above their circumstances.

Keep 'em down and keep 'em voting Democrat.

Sounds like you buy that philosophy as well.

 

Some people have a pathological need to endless drink from the cup of bitterness and make nothing but endless excuses for people simply failing to take advantages of all the huge opportunities for personal advancement mandated for their use by the federal government. All we hear is an unending litany of "It's not enough! It will never be enough because . . . because . . . Black History!"

Jesus! Grow the fork up.

 

I wasn't even talking to you.

 

Essentially leftwingers have become across the board enablers of people who apparently would rather wallow in bitterness and blaming everyone else in the world for their problems rather than take advantage of the opportunities mandated for them by law.

 

probably the weirdest thing about all these liberal know-it-alls is that they are not even in agreement with latest in liberal thinking on what is wrong with inner city education.

MORE money! and get ready for the next push, government programs to raise black kids

 

Funny, Liberals are telling us if we ever want to get elected again we must forget about everything we believed in for thousands of years, like religion, abortion, gay marriage and etc. Because in just the last few years those things are no longer true. But Blacks want us to remember what happen 150 years ago when slavery was being done and what happened up to 1950's when discrimination was being done, even though those things are no longer true. If we are expected to let go of one, why can't they let go of the other?

 

This is the second picture the Left have put up to show discrimination and both of them originated back in the 1950's. You don't see things like this today, but they still want us to believe it's still going on.

 

Really? Someone really said hat the GOP (Conservatives) must do that?

For one, the religious HYPOCRISY being exhibited by the RIGHT is proving (better than any set of words might) that so-called "Conservatives" have already 'forgotten' where they've actually come from. At this point, many on the Right are as "liberal" (in a destructive sense) as they can be. I do not see real American values in the extremist talking-points and obstruction that is being perpetrated, not at all.

This new "conservative" THING that certain extremists are into, threatens to poison America... but in reality, will implode upon itself before the nation is brought down. Reasonable people can see that.

 

There are hundreds of pictures which remind most reasonable Americans... that the legacy 'effects' of racism have not (magically) 'dissipated' into nothingness.

And EVERY time someone remarks about such images as you do above, it reminds those who are decently-educated and aware that DENIAL is also a part of the problem affecting this society.

 

Thread on this board.

 

We will always have extremist with us. But we can't believe that they are anything more than the minority and their views are not what most of us believe.

 

We'll... it isn't as though most people didn't see the GOP become conservatives-on-steroids. What do you expect people to point out, after all the years that America has seen this??!!

Experts can talk-around and SPIN (words) what is. The guy on the street however, calls things usually as he/she experiences it.

I mean, do you expect people to NOT take notice when women's choices, right to VOTE and rigging of Congressional Districts are all skewed a certain way? PEOPLE CAN SEE THIS... the only question happens to be:

When will the vast majority of Americans decide to CHANGE things?

And as good and wonderful as the Republicans, Tea Party or Conservatives MAY be... it is very apparent that it is time to allow them less control of things (at least for awhile).

Americans can SENSE this (need for a change)... this isn't something that they need to hear from any well-paid pundit or political propagandists. It is right there in front of them.

Electing Obama wasn't THE 'movement'; he was mainly an indicator that showed Americans were prepared to MOVE in a different direction.

 

If we are to believe these things are still going on, there should be no problem of showing us some a lot more recent. Like in the last 5-10-15-20 years.

 

As I said before.

We will always have extremist with us. But we can't believe that they are anything more than the minority and their views are not what most of us believe.

 

But they will not always have as much gravity/power as they do at the current time. Reasonable Americans will likely continue to OUTNUMBER them exponentially for some time.

It doesn't matter the QUANTITY of extremists... what matters is what they are allowed to 'influence'.

 

So now you support the entire black community? Damn

 

I believe if your half way educated that people would know that most people no longer feel about Blacks the way they did in the 1950's. How else could we have a Black President, USSC justices, Mayors, Governors, CEO's, Secretary of State, etc?

 

People aren't as stupid as you suggest. Most educated and aware Americans realize that the legacy effects of that ERA are with us today. LOL!!!

People are either THICK in the head or in denial if they can say that "racism" is a non-issue in this society.

Look, I know some older White Americans have a hell of a time zooming-out from their perspective and seeing MORE; but Lord knows, that needs to happen.

People are only going to feed the ignorant and deniers the "Playskool" version of sociology, so many times.

 

So Irish and Italians are "ethnic minorities" now? Damn, what constitutes as "white" changes for you right wingers all the time, eh?

 

That comment above, tells me that you do not understand what I am saying; and I am fairly astounded that you either cannot fathom what I say or are denying reality.

In any case, it is a part of the problem we are ALL experiencing as Americans. I mean, I cannot express to you how many times some White American in this forum has painted THEIR picture of ethnic relations in America, and left out ENTIRE aspects of the 'image'. They describe an "America" that doesn't even account for most of the last 60 years; it is astounding to experience. And sadly, it doesn't just happen in this forum; it (racism) is endemic within AMERICAN CULTURE. It is NOT THE PAST. Some things got better (we all know that), but certain aspects are WITH US AS A SOCIETY... even today.

And I can't say it strongly enough, that it troubles me greatly when people like yourself are either denying or are unaware of the same.

Hello??!! I didn't say that those things could never have happened. I mean to say EXACTLY what I've said to you (and anyone else) what I have said above.

Really... America isn't healed (or made whole) by merely stating the equivalent of:

"I have 'Black' friends."

We must go further and do FAR BETTER than that.

 

Few people are influenced by extremists. We know they are extremists. What you seem to want is for everyone to love Blacks and that won't happen anymore than will all Blacks love Whites. What we can hope for is that both are treated equally. That one has the same advantages as the other.
