And if you had a thought outside of the box, you'd note that those public schools have for years been denied adequate funding for supplies, curriculum, teacher support, etc. And here's the kicker, the charter schools hand pick their students from the public school rosters and use public school bldgs. Know your subject before you make whole conclusions.Did it ever occur to you that the reason those "involved" parents didn't want their children in public schools is because public school education has been awful at educating kids? They're not putting them in charter schools for no reason! Use your head!
so, all we have to do is sing and dance and bootstrap our selves until Mr. Charley smiles and says, "my, what a credit to your race....here ya go!"If you want to get rid of racism towards Blacks, show Whites positive examples like every other ethnicity has done. Blacks did that in the late fifties and sixties and most whites got behind them and pushed for better conditions and advantages for Blacks in society. The "Greatest Generation" was Black as well as other ethnicities. They moved the ball forward by working, getting educated and being successful in society. All you do is whine and complain that things aren't perfect. If you want things better, get to work and educate Black youth, give them a work ethic instead of telling them that everybody's holding them down.
This is rich...by your "logic" Alex Jones, the late gasbag Limbaugh, Savage, and all the Fox flunkies can just pull anything out of their collective flabby butts and it's valid?Not reported on doesn't mean it didn't happen. That sleazy move by Obama has been revealed by the Durham investigation.
Like it or not, Sharpton is the clarion call that pisses off the powers that be....no matter how much they main stream him. As the man once said, "if the families of people call me, how am I the instigator? The hustler?Oldestyle
With all due respect, Paul..."fighting racism" is a cottage industry for people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton! They've made millions pretending to champion the black man against "systemic racism" in America! Do you really think either of them cares about the average black man on the street other than as a means to an end? To be honest...I find you to be rather naive.
Guys like Al and Jesse are bought and paid for. These guys don’t represent the interest of black people. They talk about racism but it's the Oprah style, that is talk about but don't overdo it.
The Urban League and NAACP aren’t controlled by black people and they never were from their inception. Jesse and Al are there to keep black people in the position of a permanent underclass. That’s why they’ve been around for over thirty years and black folks are in the same position. Don’t you find that odd ?
They are in that position because their white masters put them there.
How can Al Sharpton “fight the power” when he has a show on MSNBC ?
It's not possible.
Al and Jesse do not speak for me just as I do not speak for every single black person on this planet. They are leaders who happen to be black, but they are not black leaders leading, thinking and controlling the collective black consciousness. I think it’s ridiculous to assume that they speak for the whole race and that we automatically follow them like mice to the Pied Piper.
Tawana was a fraud and Sharpton exploited her for the publicity. His false claims against Pagonis were disgracefulRemember the infamous Tawana Brawley case....only one charge of slander stuck against Sharpton...meanwhile NO questions regarding the cops involved, the missing rape kit, Pagonis involvement, etc. That is indicative as to Sharpton's relationship with the powers that be.
Americans are woefully ignorant of it's racist history.Incorrect.
For the first 5 years after WW2 in Chicago alone, there were 357 acts of terror by whites against blacks who tried living in or near majority white neighborhoods. In 1951 a black man named Harvey Clark and his family tried to move into the Cicero neighborhood of Chicago. A white mob vandalized his home and burned his furniture in the front yard. The police did nothing. In first six months of 1955 there were 213 acts of violence against blacks by whites in Philadelphia. Whites resorted to terrorism in order to intimidate blacks so they would not move into white communities. In 1964 when blacks tried renting an apartment in Cicero, their apartment was again vandalized. All the police did was enter the apartment, take out the furniture and told the people they were evicted. At the same time period in Detroit, there were over 200 acts of terrorist violence against blacks to stop black families from moving to the suburbs. From 1950-1965 there were over 100 bombings of black owned residences in Los Angeles. In 1987, another black family tried moving into Cicero. They got gunfire and firebombs. Again, that was in 1987.

There were no scandals under Obama's Administration, neither personal or otherwise.I said personal scandal
There was not 1% of personal scandal on Obama in two terms of office
Obama did things Conservatives did not likeThere were no scandals under Obama's Administration, neither personal or otherwise.
Here's what republicans called "scandals"...Obama did things Conservatives did not like
They call it a scandal
Actually his initial belief in the virtues of Marxism changed when he did a study of how mandated minimum wages in Puerto Rico drastically increased unemployment. That wasn't something he was paid to do...at the time he was a lowly intern working for the Federal Government. He simply realized that his beliefs that he'd held until then didn't work in the real world.I've read his stuff.....the wheels come of his wagon when he consistently tries to blame black folk for not taking advantages of the New Deal (like Jim Crow STILL wasn't in the works) and later parroting alt right dreck about how the Civil Rights movement hampered black economic creativity.
Sowell was one fucked up puppy due to his deplorable child hood. His initial marxism changed when he saw the $$$ in telling Mr. Charlie what he wanted to hear....all dressed up in economic dogma of Wall St.
Sowell has been academically debunked so many times nationally/internationally that the propping up of his dreck by the right wing is a joke.
Did you really think the local opinion columnist "debunked" anything Sowell posited in that article, Defiant One? Claiming that because there isn't rent control in "Podunk Iowa" and they have no jobs there means that rent control has worked in New York City and San Francisco is amusing but borders on farce!Jeez, a hit parade of black apologists for America's systemic and congenital racism.
ALL HAVE BEEN LOGICALLY AND FACTUALLY DEBUNKED.
Beware Sowell's fact-free rants

Did you want to take a crack at defending Jesse Jackson's use of a boycott to obtain a lucrative exclusive distributorship for his two sons from Anheuser-Bush, Defiant One? Your other liberal pals ran from that discussion once it was pointed out that Jackson was more concerned with lining his own pockets than he was with improving the lives of the blacks that he was "representing"!To be honest, WTF do you know about black folk other than what the MSM tells you? I'm not saying that either men are without fault, but in their careers their adversaries were just as real as the grapes you ate this summer (without a second thought regarding migrant labor). So spare us all your willful ignorance.
Perhaps CON is the operative term.
Why is it that Sowell never seems to discuss the economic impact of racism on black Americans.
There are a multitude of books out about this, but the darling black "conservative" economist doesn't seem to have written one. You would think with all that conservative grant money he's been paid....
Oh yeah, that's the point, don't write about what really happened, write stuff blaming blacks for failing.
Thomas Sowell was a professor of mine. He was in no way "screwed up", Defiant One! He presented his beliefs in a straightforward manner that made sense. That was true back in the 70's and it remains true to this day. I had other Economics professors that had other beliefs but my life experiences since graduating from college made me realize that those beliefs were not based on what happens in the real world.You love him because he told you exactly what you wanted to hear....your last sentence indicative of the dreck parroted by the alt right, teabaggers and neocons. Marxism was further alienating him from the the big boys table on the academic scale, so he just flipped the script to the other side. His childhood really screwed him up, but he got his reward/revenge by being accepted and paid by the establishment.
Jeez, a hit parade of black apologists for America's systemic and congenital racism.

Yes Sowell is screwed up. He suffers from internalized racism and that's a real mental problem.Thomas Sowell was a professor of mine. He was in no way "screwed up", Defiant One! He presented his beliefs in a straightforward manner that made sense. That was true back in the 70's and it remains true to this day.

It proves your initial claim to be a lie. IRS did not only target conservatives.Was that supposed to in some way prove that Lois Lerner didn't head that IRS department? Or did you not want to address that lie of yours?
I don't think that's what the picture shows.As for Jesse being hit by Ray in Memphis? Jesse was down in the parking lot when that shot was taken. He was nowhere near Martin Luther King. He claimed MLK died in his arms because it gave him more status in the black movement. It's just one more con that Jesse played on naive people like you!
