Black History Month

[Dot Com]

what a ******* lie
I have a US history HS text right here

asswipe/liar

from Texas? You realize different school districts can use different texts?

didn't see them referring to a Texas text book.

seems it meant to include all text books then

it's up to you and Esmerelda to prove otherwise at this point,including Texas

So you DON'T know that different school districts are able to choose different texts if they wish?

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.

Who would teaching more math, science, logic and reasoning be 'racist'?

 

[Pheonixops]

They should teach proper black history how the Republicn party fought for the rights of African Americans. We never learned that fact in school

You never learned about Abraham Lincoln and the Abolitionists? Wow, what school system was that?

hey,

stupid ****

there is not one mention in YOUR link that cites elimination of blacks and women in the history textbooks

Yeah, in the days of Lincoln. It has done a 180 since then.

Yep, at one time he Republican party was the Liberal party and forward looking party.

 

[Pheonixops]

More Black history should be taught in our schools. Their sweat, brains, and labor helped make this country great.

Sweat and labor maybe, but brains? Not hardly.

LOL, what an ignorant BIGOT you are.

Have you done or invented anything even 10% of the amount the people on this list below.

yes,

because if there is more than one white person in a room at the same time without a black to supervise, they are having a klan meeting

 

[Pheonixops]

Not far at all conservative Republicans still fight for school choice, and against the slaughter of innocent black babies among other things

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

No they are not, the millions of individuals who got those abortions are.

 

[Duped]

To even out the evils that the white man bestowed upon them.

How long 'till you think we're even? When does this cease to be an excuse for perceived failures within the black community?

We should be all squared up by 2065.

I don't owe the black race shit. They owe it to themselves to do the best they can with what they have. You asshole liberals play the race card because it is politically expedient - you really don't give a shit about them. You want to keep them dependant for their votes, and most of them arn't smart enough to figure it out, or too lazy to care.
Personal responsibility is the only viable avenue for acension! Blacks owe the rest of the nation restituion for all the entitlements they receive, and for all the crimes they commit!

 

[Pheonixops]

That is true of every ethnic group. How about we simply focus on American history, of ALL Americans?

Why do you want to divide and separate like that?

So you have no problem with adding the historical achievements of all people including Black people into the school curricula?

 

[Pheonixops]

no matter how much the white man tries to help them, they will always be on the bottom.

What exactly have you ever done "to help them," hero?

As a business owner, I've hired a few. They spend more energy looking for ways to avoid work than they do working. They're lazy, unproductive, and have an attitude. Then, when you fire 'em, the first thing they do is threaten to sue for racial discrimination. I haven't met one yet that wasn't like that, and the ones on this forum are no different. Always bitching about the white man and how he keeps 'em down, when in reality, they keep themselves down.

I guess you didn't hire the right 'ones'. Maybe the salary and benefits package you were offering was only enough to attract low skilled workers of any color and you got what you paid for.

I wonder how Black history month is going in say, this Compton school, where in the parents collected the requisite number of signatures to enact a Parent trigger, before Jerry Brown re-rigged the rules/packed the Board to **** them over-

Crushing Hopes in Compton
The empire strikes back against 'parent trigger.'

As we reported in December, a majority of parents (more than 250) have exercised their right under a new state law to petition to replace the administrators at McKinley Elementary school in Compton, California and invite a charter-school operator to take over.

McKinley is one of the worst schools in one of the worst-performing districts in the country. Fewer than half of the Compton Unified School District's students graduate from high school, and only 3.3% of those graduates are eligible to attend California's public universities. The parents want McKinley to be run by Celerity Educational Group, which operates three high-performing charters in the Los Angeles area.

The educational empire has not taken this well. At a PTA meeting teachers urged parents to rescind their petitions, and during school hours they pressured students whose parents supported the trigger effort.

When that intimidation failed, the school district suddenly came up with a new signature-verification process. The district required parents—many of whom work multiple jobs—to show up at McKinley at appointed times on one of two days. It also required parents to bring official photo identification, knowing that some of them are illegal immigrants. (The Supreme Court said schools must educate children of illegals in Plyler v. Doe, 1982.)

The parents have sued to stop this harassment. "This is akin to an elected official who is subject to a recall petition requiring that each voter meet with his office," said their legal team from Kirkland & Ellis, which is working pro bono. "The District intends to make it more difficult to petition a local school for reform than vote for President of the United States."

A judge issued a temporary restraining order stopping the district's verification gambit, so the empire struck back again, declaring last week at a hastily-called community meeting that every petition had been disqualified on technicalities: Some legal code numbers were mistyped, for example, and some petitions weren't stapled. Really. The parents will now also challenge this in court.

Meanwhile, the powers in Sacramento are trying to undermine parent trigger statewide. On his first day in office, Governor Jerry Brown replaced seven reform members of the state board of education with union allies, including a lobbyist for the California Teachers Association. The new board immediately announced that it would write new rules to govern the parent trigger law, throwing out eight months of work by the previous board.

You had a point until you became a ******* asshole. Why the **** am I responsible for the actions for other black people, while you whine and ***** that you don't owe blacks shit? Entitlements are for everyone, why don't you ask everyone else who utilized any entitlement? I work, go to school, pay taxes and stay out of trouble. I don't owe you or your "nation" shit either. **** YOU!

And you say that you care about blacks?

Yeah right, go **** yourself with your passive-aggression.

How convenient, since that is all that a loser like you has to offer to anyone.

What's your excuse, racist asshole?

I don't need an excuse for being successful.

You're obviously not.

If only The Democrat party would have taken the advice of Frederick Douglas and left Black people alone to succeed or fail based on their own merit we wouldn't have had the destruction of the black family we have today. From Jim Crow, to the "Great society, to affirmative action, they all have been a failure. Republicans fought for full emancipation of blacks with full rights of citizenship from the beginning of the party. Liberty is what the Republican party has always stood for. Democrats stand for slavery, imposed by the government, this what they still stand for…Tyranny

What shall be done with the four million slaves if they are emancipated?

This question has been answered, and can be answered in many ways. Primarily, it is a question less for man than for God -- less for human intellect than for the laws of nature to solve. It assumes that nature has erred; that the law of liberty is a mistake; that freedom, though a natural want of human soul, can only be enjoyed at the expense of human welfare, and that men are better off in slavery than they would or could be in freedom; that slavery is the natural order of human relations, and that liberty is an experiment. What shall be done with them?

Our answer is, do nothing with them; mind your business, and let them mind theirs. Your doing with them is their greatest misfortune. They have been undone by your doings, and all they now ask, and really have need of at your hands, is just to let them alone. They suffer by ever interference, and succeed best by being let alone. The Negro should have been let alone in Africa -- let alone when pirates and robbers offered him for sale in our Christian slave markets -- (more cruel and inhuman than the Mohammedan slave markets) -- let alone by courts, judges, politicians, legislators and slave-drivers -- let alone altogether, and assured that they were thus to be left alone forever, and that they must now make their own way in the world, just the same as any and every other variety of the human family. As colored men, we only ask to be allowed to do with ourselves, subject only to the same great laws for the welfare of human society which apply to other men, Jews, Gentiles, Barbarian, Sythian. Let us stand upon our own legs, work with our own hands, and eat bread in the sweat of our own brows

That truly is horrific, but Californians elected him governor again. If a Republican had done that the LA Times and other leftist lockstep news agencies would have eaten them all alive for months if not years.

Yeah, in the days of Lincoln. It has done a 180 since then.

Nope...All the way through the civil rights era and beyond the Democratic Party has done nothing to help black people over all. They helped to break down the black family, leave poor black kids stuck in failing public schools and created a dependency on government which has hurt them much more then helped them. MLK would be horrified at the state of the black family today

The Democratic party nor the Republican party are the root cause of what
has hindered the black community. The political system is comprised of a left wing and a right wing attached to one stinking bird.

The civil rights movement itself focused way too much on "extending an olive branch" as opposed to focusing on self reliance through economic empowerment by creating business opportunities and recirculating black capital within black communities.

It is a travesty that less than 1% of the businesses in predominately black communities are owned by blacks.

This a capitalist society, and without "capital", a community will remain powerless until it empowers itself.

Skill has nothing to do with it. I'm talking entry level here, no experience necessary (which they rarely have). They don't want to work, that's the problem. And I'm in business to make money, not seek out black people to give jobs to. I'll give anybody an opportunity, regardless of their race, but if they don't wanna work, **** 'em. I fire their worthless ass.
