Black History Month

[Snookie]

Good workers are never uppity. Good workers know their place. Let's hear it for china!

 

[KR811]

Your anti-religion bigotry isn't necessary and really doesn't belong in this discussion. Unless you are trying to prove you can be as stupid as S.J. in your own way.

Christianity is one main reasons why idiots like Matthew and S.J. think the way that they do.

Bullshit. There is nothing Christian about their hate - or yours.

Okay, if you say so. I'll leave it at that.

72 Percent of African-American Children Born to Unwed Mothers - BV Black Spin

Thank you for the article, but might not the fact that marriage is becoming a thing of the past, play a role in that?

Your article states:

According to government statistics, 72 percent of African-American children are born to unmarried Mothers and that is something that Dr. Natalie Carroll, an obstetrician who has dedicated her 40-year career to helping black women, feels is unfortunate.

According to this article marriage is sadly dying:

The decline in nuptials from 2008 to 2011 is in keeping with a general trend away from marriage in the U.S. Barely half of adults (51%) were married in 2011, according to ACS data, compared with 72% in 1960. Marriage increasingly is being replaced by cohabitation, single-person households and other adult living arrangements.

No Reversal in Decline of Marriage | Pew Social & Demographic Trends

If barely half of adults are married, it would make sense that the number of children born out of wedlock would be high. From my perspective only, it seems that our society has moved away from the idea of marriage, but it doesn't seem to follow through that those unwed adults have given up sex.

Sounds like an excuse to me.

Unfortunately it is a fact that fewer and fewer young adults are getting married these days. We probably have our socialistic "free love" parents to blame for much of that, but definitely the left wing's anti-family rhetoric over the last 20 years has played a major part in the fall.

[Jroc]

Is that just another stereotype?

Might want to read the article Pheonixops posted in post number 171.

It was, in fact, a pretty decent article.

i read his opinion piece...


Children in single-parent families by race - Data Across States - KIDS COUNT Data Center

Glad you did read it. One of the points I took from the article was that those "statistics" have become self-fulfilling prophecies. If we as a country countinue to tell black people that they are not capable of sustaining familial relationships or that a majority of their males will end up in prison or that they are not smart enough to go to college, guess what that is what is going to happen.

Why concentrate on the negatives? Why NOT concentrate on the positives?

Immie

Ask the liberal Democrats

I already know why they want to keep blacks and the poor down and under control. It has everything to do with the vote and the control they believe belongs to them. I was asking someone who I think has some common sense.

That's right, it's black history month, not to be confused with Hispanic history month, caucasion history month, or Asian history month.

Today we will start with genocide in Africa, but where to begin?

1. Darfur where Sudanese Christians were murdered by the hundreds of thousands?
2. Rwanda where about a million people where slaughtered?
3. Burundi where waring tribes decided to kill off the other?
4. Or how about Uganda where the LRA would sneak around forcing children to kill their parents so that they could be taken and be trained to fight for the LRA?

Of course, I am always sure to be politically correct, so I will steer clear of the fact that Africans sold other Africans to be sold to the US in the 1800's. The last thing I ever want to do is offend anybody.

Let's keep history accurate

I'll give credit when it's due to blacks. Let's just not charge it to make a certain group feel better.

 

[Unkotare]

My kids are in elementary school, they get plenty of black history. I'd like to see more math, science, logic and reasoning taught in our schools but that's probably racist.

There is plenty of math, science, logic and reasoning in black history.

What month is designated White History Month?

All of them.

But you personally will try to take credit for every accomplishment of every 'white' person in history? Shut the fuck up, clown.

I was being sarcastic. It was a parody of a right wing comment.

If you need a link for that, then you've never been to a school before (what a surprise). Black History Month is more like Black History DAY or at the most Black HISTORY WEEK in a lot of schools. All other school history curriculum in general is Euro-centric or White American. White people long for nothing when it comes to their representation of history.

You and conservatives care about black lives? Pfft.

You can't even see good things for yourself.

Liberals are reponsible for the deaths of millions of Black babies

"Several years ago, when 17,000 aborted babies were found in a dumpster outside a pathology laboratory in Los, Angeles, California, some 12-15,000 were observed to be black."
--Erma Clardy Craven (deceased)
Social Worker and Civil Rights Leader

Stop acting like you care, because I know conservatives don't.

BTW I'm not a liberal.

you don't know shit and spew it here for us

Shit I don't know and I spew it?

Okay, then.

I'll take Conservatives backhanded, condescending "concerns for others" at face value then.

thanks for admitting that you are jealous of white people.

PS these pieces of paper I have , also known as advanced degrees, beg to differ. One is a MEd asshole.

California is dumbing down curriculum - to accommodate people of color:

California no longer requiring eighth graders to take Algebra

'Black and Latino students in California are significantly more likely to fail eighth-grade algebra, and 80 percent of those who fail it once will fail it again when they take it in high school.'
