    Fair enough, since it's like that. Kids gloves off.

    Let me tell you why.

    In the case of black people, what you had is a group of diabolical, arrogant, satanic, white men who enslaved a whole race of people. They did everything in their power for hundreds of years to instill a sense of terror of the white man, a sense of inferiority to the white man, and a sense that the natural condition of blacks was that of humble servitude to the white man. Then you have their arrogant, degraded descendents who want to point and say, look at how bad they perform on tests.

    So there you go. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    This isnt about immigrant races pulling white Americans down, white Americans remain a majority of school attendees.

    Most Americans are terrified of trying to provide an education system like that is provided in Finland. Even many left leaning Americans, who have long been indoctrinated in right wing thinking.

    It would upset the natural conservative order of things, where jungle rules apply and the beauty of life is in the struggle between the strong and the weak.

    Foreigners may bloom under socialism, but Americans were not created to be zoo animals who must be fed by others to live.

    Apparently libs think it must take 400 years of special treatment to undo 400 years of slavery.

    There are millions of blacks, alive this day, that were prohibited from going to school with whites so that they would feel they are inferior to whites. There are millions of blacks, alive this day, who were forced to live in separate areas from whites so that they would feel inferior to whites. There are millions of blacks, alive this day, who had to sit in separate waiting rooms at the doctor's office from whites, so that they would feel inferior to whites. There are many whites, alive this day, that helped perpetrate that system of bullsh*t. So yeah, it's gonna take a while.

    You didn't unionize public employees, they unionized themselves. I suspect if you try to undo that they won't stay un-unionized for long.

    Not many kids in the public schools or prisons were ever slaves under a white slavemaster.

    In fact, none of the gangbangers killing each other in Detroit or Chicago ever had to ride at the back of the bus.

    But that his the same tired old excuse that libs continue to make for their favorite underperforming minority.

    African tribes would defeat, enslaved and sell the defeated. They were always slaves, just depended on where they'd end up. Who knows what wouldve happened to them if there was no market. Its a horrible barbaric practice that all races have had to face. Plenty of women are still enslaved and used as sex slaves or prostitutes.

    Ahh thats why Dems claim to be more intelligent, they have more money spent on education in their progressive master cities. Hang on, 25% is low isnt it? hmm

    Yes, many of you guys have low IQ's. They tend to see the world in binary, black and white and unable to understand the complexities of life. Many are not even capabale of understanding that life is indeed complex, let alone figure those complexities out.

    George Washington was not the child of a slave. Thomas Jefferson was not the child of a slave. James Madison was not the child of a slave. James Monroe was not the child of a slave. Andrew Jackson was not the child of a slave.

    These are the men we are taught to worship in school. And every one of them profited from slave labor.

    That won't get you very far.

    No one denies that slavery was wrong.

    So a black person owning blacks slaves is no better that whites owning them.

    Nor should it matter if any whites happened to be slaves in this particular situation since whites have been enslaved by Arabs and blacks and Romans and others since as far back as history can record.

    Even the word slave comes from white enslavement

    Word History: The derivation of the word slave encapsulates a bit of European history and explains why the two words slaves and Slavs are so similar; they are, in fact, historically identical. The word slave first appears in English around 1290, spelled sclave. The spelling is based on Old French esclave from Medieval Latin sclavus, "Slav, slave," first recorded around 800. Sclavus comes from Byzantine Greek sklabos (pronounced sklävs) "Slav," which appears around 580. Sklavos approximates the Slavs' own name for themselves, the Slovnci, surviving in English Slovene and Slovenian. The spelling of English slave, closer to its original Slavic form, first appears in English in 1538. Slavs became slaves around the beginning of the ninth century when the Holy Roman Empire tried to stabilize a German-Slav frontier. By the 12th century stabilization had given way to wars of expansion and extermination that did not end until the Poles crushed the Teutonic Knights at Grunwald in 1410. · As far as the Slavs' own self-designation goes, its meaning is, understandably, better than "slave"; it comes from the Indo-European root *kleu-, whose basic meaning is "to hear" and occurs in many derivatives meaning "renown, fame." The Slavs are thus "the famous people." Slavic names ending in -slav incorporate the same word, such as Czech Bohu-slav, "God's fame," Russian Msti-slav, "vengeful fame," and Polish Stani-slaw, "famous for withstanding (enemies)."

    The point is that the institution of slavery, as practiced in the US, was designed to instill terror and a sense of inferiority into blacks. This went on for generations. Therefore the effects are still present today.

    Not entirely true, you import the best of other countries, which is not really self-sustaining. Ironically, then complaining about the non-achivers born in your country, which you don't bother to invest ini, because you can import the achivers from other countries.

    The entire system supports the outcome that both political sides oppose.

    Again, no black person alive today was ever a slave and very few had to ride at the back of the bus.

    Blacks need to stop blaming their social failure on the white man and start taking responsibility for their own mistakes in life that are holding them back.

    Whites need to stop blaming black test scores on an inherent inferiority.

    What do you mean by "socialism", in the context of education?

    That seems to be your excuse not mine since you continue to parrot the "400 years of slavery and Jim Crow" line.

    I usually be blamed for expecting too much out of blacks and therefore blaming their failure on them.

    Even white American's today are influenced by the events of your civil war, by their original European culture, by WWI & WWII and Vietnam.

    I was responding to a quote by one of your fellow illegal aliens.

    Apparently he likes an equally distributed managed outcome in education where the best are expected to share the rewards with those who are less than the best.

    You know, one for all, all for one.

    That smacks of socialism to me.

    You can't possibly copy Finland: the weirdoes consider anything that works to be 'socialism'.
