Failure Has Become Their Duty

[PoliticalChic]

I figured this was about Trump.

Because trumps policies all failed. He couldn’t hit 3% gdp growth. Deficits increased every single year drastically. Tariffs led to a giant farmer bailout and nothing much else. He cut back on legal immigration and now there is a worker shorter. Even crime went up. Giant failure.

"Because trumps policies all failed."

Now.....what were you saying????

12. “The issue of opportunity in Fairfax County is not that the admissions process for Thomas Jefferson, a single public school, is racist against Black and Hispanic students.

In fact, … admissions officers accepted 90 percent of Black students who made it to the second round of the application process, while accepting less than 50 percent of white students who made it to the second round, suggesting evidence that the bias might in fact be in their favor.

The issue is that the number of Black students who made it to the semifinalist round of the application process in the first place was so low. Remember, the semifinalist round is the minimum standard for admissions—it signals you have the requisite merit to even play the game. In 2008, 507 white students made it to this semifinalist round. The number of Black students? Thirty-seven.

The problems of too few Black and Hispanic students in even the semifinalist rounds of admissions are problems of the entire condition of low-income Black and Hispanic education, problems that cannot be fixed or solved with racial quotas at one school—that can only be masked, not solved, with the artificial propping or boosting of certain races’ admittance into the school at the expense of people who are more qualified.” “An Inconvenient Minority: The Attack on Asian American Excellence and the Fight for Meritocracy”​

by Kenny Xu



13. Perhaps Democrats should bite the bullet and look at the facts:

With respect to the education gap, how is it that 'racism' is responsible for these areas in which black students fall short when compared to white and Asian students:

The number of days absent from school

The number of hours spent watching TV

The number of pages read for homework

Quantity and quality of reading material in the home

The presence of two parents in the home.

How does 'racism' explain these ...deficiencies????

 

[PoliticalChic]

14. The real problem is one that Democrats/Progressives will not address: a culture and commensurate parenting deficit that leaves black students behind from the start. There is the sacrifice for their children that Democrats ignore, what another culture does for their children:

"So what accounts for the poverty-defying trajectory of the Fujianese kids?

First is a cultural trait that has become a cliché in the model-minority discussion: a zealous focus on education. .... education for the next generation is close to a religion..... One recent college graduate, now a public school math teacher, told me that his mother would wake him at 5 AM to go over math problems—when he was in the first and second grade. ..
.... one kindergartner’s mother said, in faltering English: “My son must go Harvard.”

No matter how poor they are, parents find a way to get their fourth- or fifth-graders into test-prep classes. WNYC found one Sunset Park family who put aside $5,000 for classes for their three sons out of a yearly household income of just $26,000.
Brooklyn's Chinese Pioneers by Kay S. Hymowitz, City Journal Spring 2014





15. And….there is this:

“For all racial and ethnic groups combined, 39.6 percent of births in the United States were out-of-wedlock (incidentally, isn’t that appalling?). And there was as always a tremendous range among groups. For blacks, the number is 69.4 percent; for American Indians/Alaska Natives, 68.2 percent (Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders were at 50.4 percent); for Hispanics, 51.8 percent; for whites, 28.2 percent; and for Asian Americans, a paltry 11.7 percent.

So, we go from seven out of ten for African Americans, to one out of ten for Asian Americans” Percentage of Births to Unmarried Women | Center for Equal Opportunity

See a problem here?
Single parent home is the recipe for poverty and prison.



See the cowardice of Democrats in their purposely ignoring it?
Stop solving a racism problem that doesn't exist, and start solving the real problem: a culture that is destroying minority youth.

A propaganda lie....And you are stupid enough to actually post it.


. Some of the Left's lies are so transparent that it is hard to imagine any but the most committed simpletons believing them.
Yet they do....or claim they do.

Like this: "Well...yeah, everyone knows that early Democrats were the party of slavers...but then...around the 1960s the two parties flip-flopped their positions on slavery, segregation and black people....and it is the Republicans who decided to become the racists!!!
Lies: Great and .......Greater

What sort of movement only survives if its followers are steeped in lies, myths, and fabrications?



Leftist.

Yup.....that's it!"​

(I left out all the 'duh's' that would be appropriate for said dialogue.)​

"No, the Parties Didn't 'Switch'​

It's time to debunk a popular myth about the Republican and Democrat Parties.

A brief look at the historical facts will show that this is an unsupported leftist theory. Racist Democrats who were in power as the Dixiecrat Party, founded in the 1940s, did not became today’s Republicans.
No, the Parties Didn't 'Switch'

Please explain why the southern states that voted for the Dixiecrat Party in 1948, also voted for the GOP in 1964 with the exception of Georgia?

Take notes, dunce.


10. “The first thing … is look at voting patterns, not just bottom-line statewide Electoral College figures but the actual trends in the two-party popular presidential vote as well as downticket voting behavior by state, Congressional district and state gubernatorial and legislative elections.

…the South was, from 1928 on, not as solidly Democratic as portrayed (and there were pockets of the South that had always been GOP-friendly, especially in Tennessee, Virginia and Texas…. the fortunes of the GOP began to pick up significantly as conservative anti-union Southerners soured on the New Deal after 1936. And that accelerated under Eisenhower.




The Great Depression set Republicans back, but post-1948, Republicans began seriously working to pick the Democrats’ lock on the South. In 1952, Eisenhower carried three Southern states. In 1956, he carried five, including deep Southern states like Louisiana…. Eisenhower came 15,000 votes in North Carolina from carrying a majority of the Southern states; he managed to carry a majority of the South’s popular vote.





Eisenhower received at least one-third of the vote in every state in the Old Confederacy.

The same is true for Nixon in 1960, when the pro-Civil Rights Nixon, who…was representing an Administration that enforced Brown v. Board, carried Virginia, Tennessee and Florida. ….Republicans picked up their first elected Southern Senate seat in history in a 1960 special election shortly after the election.

In 1964, Goldwater did break through in the Deep South. “ The Southern Strategy Myth and the Lost Majority




11. “The second trendline in the data is ideology.
To accept the Southern Strategy myth that race is the dominant reason why white Southerners would find a home in the GOP, you have to ignore the role of (among other issues) economics, religion, and foreign policy/national security. “
Op.Cit.


Soooo….why did the South end up in the Republican camp? Not due to the preposterous and slanderous allegations of the Democrats, i.e., that they’re all racists, both the Southern voters and the Republican Party.
Here is the answer in microcosm: because neither the Southern voter nor the GOP is racist:


a. 1966 Republican Bo Calloway ran against Democrat Lester Maddox, who “gained national attention for refusing to serve blacks in his popular cafeteria near the Georgia Tech campus. Newsmen tipped off about the confrontation reported how restaurant patrons and employees wielded ax handles while Mr. Maddox waved a pistol. …”
About Questia | Questia, Your Online Research Library

Maddox was endorsed by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the above governor’s race. When the race was too close to call, the Democrat state legislature gave it to Maddox.


b.1966- Republican Spiro Agnew ran against Democrat segregationists George Mahoney for governor of Maryland. Agnew enacted some of the first laws in the nation against race discrimination in public housing. “Agnew signed the state's first open-housing laws and succeeded in getting the repeal of an anti-miscegenationlaw.”
Spiro Agnew - Wikipedia



c.1966- pro-integrationist Republican Winthrop Rockefeller won Arkansas, replacing Bill Clinton-pal Orval Faubus.




Not all Democrats were segregationists, but all segregationists were Democrats! And…there were enough of them to demand compliance from the rest of the party.




One would imagine that, in the face of this onslaught of facts that they can’t refute, the Democrat voters would change their support.
They won’t because they can’t: for the weak mind, indoctrination is indelible.






12. “[W]hile the Deep South voted for Goldwater in 1964, the Democrats still carried a whopping 90 of 106 congressional districts in Dixie in 1964. In fact, the big breakthrough for the GOP in the House did not come until 1994. Prior to that, the Democrats could count on better than 3/5ths of the Southern congressional districts.

As late as 2010, there were still states like Alabama and North Carolina that were voting in their first Republican legislative majorities since Reconstruction – something that would have happened overnight in the late 60s if the partisan realignment had been driven by lockstep white voting loyalties on racial lines.


Nixon made more symbolic than substantive accommodations to white Southerners. He enforced the Civil Rights Act and extended the Voting Rights Act. On school desegregation, he had to be prodded by the courts in some ways but went further than them in others: He supervised a desegregation of Deep South schools that had eluded his predecessors and then denied tax-exempt status to many private “desegregation academies” to which white Southerners tried to flee. Nixon also institutionalized affirmative action and set-asides for minorities in federal contracting.”





Meanwhile, the Democratic record is hardly anything to be proud of. The first modern progressive Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, was a horrible racist who did everything in his power to strengthen Jim Crow in the federal government and leave it alone in the states despite his usual preference for expanding federal power

… FDR used more subtle racial appeals to hold white Southerners in his coalition while using economic issues to solidify the transition of black voters to loyal Democrats





…the turn from the LBJ of the 1950s:

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days, and that’s a problem for us, since they’ve got something now they never had before: the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this – we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

...to the LBJ of 1965:

President Johnson … informed skeptical southern governors that his plan for the Great Society was “to have them n___ers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years.”



Fundamentally, the Democratic Party’s approach to racial and ethnic politics has not really changed all that much since the 1830s; it’s just calibrated to a different audience.”
The Southern Strategy Myth and the Lost Majority



And don't forget
Rule #2
To know what the Left is guilty of, just watch what they blame the other side of doing.




They sure were racist….those Republicans!

Let’s check on that racist Southern Strategy:

1. Let’s see what Nixon did as examples of their “Republican-racist tilt:”
   • As president of the Senate, Nixon strongly supported civil rights, specifically the 1957 civil rights act, issuing an advisory opinion that a filibuster could be stopped with a simple majority, thereby changing Senate rules. Congressional Record, Volume 157 Issue 12 (Thursday, January 27, 2011)
   • “During the 1966 campaign, Nixon was personally thanked by Dr. King for his help in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1957http://www.nbra.info/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Nixon_s_Southern_Strategy_Was_Not_A_Racist_Appeal
   • Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent, and
   • doubled the budget for black colleges;
   • appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions than any president, including LBJ;
   • adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks in unions,
   • and for black scholars in colleges and universities;
   • invented "Black Capitalism" (the Office of Minority Business Enterprise),
   • raised U.S. purchases from black businesses from $9 million to $153 million,
   • increased small business loans to minorities 1,000 percent,
   • increased U.S. deposits in minority-owned banks 4,000 percent;
   • raised the share of Southern schools that were desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent.
   • This was written by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, "It has only been since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation has taken place in the South."
   • Unlike the empty talk of the prior, Democrat, administration, between Nixon’s election in ’68 and the end of his second year in office, in ’70, black students attending all-black schools in the South declined from 68% to 18.4%, and the percentage of black students attending majority white schools went from 18.4% to 38.1%. Conrad Black, “The Invincible Quest: The Life of Richard Milhous Nixon,” p. 647.

How could racists resist voting for this??????

========================================================================

13. And, to finally put to death the fake “Southern Strategy Myth,”……

1. Goldwater went on to win five southern states in 1964: Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. But he lost eight.
2. Democrats build the ‘southern strategy’ tale on the fact that the same states voted for ‘Dixiecrat’ Strom Thurmond in 1948 (less Georgia).
3. Except that Nixon and Reagan lost, or almost lost the same states in ’68 and ’80…
4. And Jimmy Carter and Clinton did pretty well in those states in ’76 and ’92.
5. And the Goldwater states went right back to voting Democrat for decades…

14.So…if Republicans were racists and got racist southerners to vote for them, how to explain this: Republicans always did best in the southern states that Goldwater lost, which happened to be the same ones Republicans had been winning with some regularity since 1928.

a.In ’28, ’52, ’56, and ’60, Republicans generally won Virginia, Florida, Texas, Kentucky and sometimes North Carolina or Louisiana. Did you notice that those years were before 1964?

b.Four years after Goldwater, the segregationist vote went right back to Democrats: Humphrey got half of Wallace’s supporters on election day. Nixon got none of ‘em. “When the '68 campaign began, Nixon was at 42 percent, Humphrey at 29 percent, Wallace at 22 percent. When it ended, Nixon and Humphrey were tied at 43 percent, with Wallace at 13 percent. The 9 percent of the national vote that had been peeled off from Wallace had gone to Humphrey.” The neocons & Nixon's southern strategy

c.In ’76, Carter swept the South. Was Carter appealing to bigots….or is that only the case when Republicans win the South?



15.Reagan lost or barely won the Goldwater states…but Reagan won among young southern voters- but lost among seniors, those who has voted in ’48 and ’64. That meant that the segregationists never abandoned the Democrats: eventually they died or were outvoted by younger voters. Nope…after Thurmond’s run, the Dixiecrats went right back to voting for Democrats for another half century.

16. In writing about McGovern and Wallace, liberal luminary, Arthur Schlesinger, actually referred to Wallace voters as responding to their candidate’s “integrity”! “The primaries themselves, especially the success of McGovern and Wallace, provide the best evidence for the proposition that voters in 1972 care less about a candidate's stand on particular issues than they do about the candidate's integrity,…” How McGovern Will Win

• McGovern gave a tip-of-the-hat to the segregationist Wallace in his acceptance speech at the Democrat Convention. That was the exact midpoint between Goldwater and Reagan. So…what of the imaginary “southern strategy” where the Republicans were supposed to have a plan to appeal to racists?
• Democrat McGovern: “And I was as moved as well by the appearance in the Convention Hall of the Governor of Alabama, George Wallace. … Governor, we pray for your full recovery so you can stand up and speak out for all of those who see you as their champion.” ACCEPTANCE SPEECH OF SENATOR GEORGE MCGOVERN

Here is the answer in microcosm: because neither the Southern voter nor the GOP is racist:


That right there demonstrates complete nescience. Southern voters supported the racist Dixiecrat Party with the exception of Georgia. Those SAME southern states supported the GOP in 1964.

You can spin that anyway you like, but it does not change reality.

The Gish Gallop is dismissed.


If you do not think the GOP is not racist, explain this:

Unlike Eastern Republicans, whose history was defined by opposition to slavery, Western Republicans had long held racial views toward Asians and Native Americans similar to those of Southern Democrats toward African Americans. For example, Republican Governor Leland Stanford of California had this to say in his 1862 Inaugural Address:

To my mind it is clear, that the settlement among us of an inferior race is to be discouraged, by every legitimate means. Asia, with her numberless millions, sends to our shores the dregs of her population.… There can be no doubt but that the presence of numbers among us of a degraded and distinct people must exercise a deleterious influence upon the superior race, and, to a certain extent, repel desirable immigration. It will afford me great pleasure to concur with the Legislature in any constitutional action, having for its object the repression of the immigration of the Asiatic races.

Discrimination against Asians culminated in enactment of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 under Republican President Chester A. Arthur, which formed the basis for all subsequent efforts to restrict immigration based on race and ethnicity. The 1888 Republican platform, in fact, said this was just the first step: “We declare our hostility to the introduction into this country of foreign contract labor and of Chinese labor, alien to our civilization and constitution; and we demand the rigid enforcement of the existing laws against it, and favor such immediate legislation as will exclude such labor from our shores.”

Here is the answer in microcosm: because neither the Southern voter nor the GOP is racist:


That right there demonstrates complete nescience. Southern voters supported the racist Dixiecrat Party with the exception of Georgia. Those SAME southern states supported the GOP in 1964.

You can spin that anyway you like, but it does not change reality.

The Gish Gallop is dismissed.


If you do not think the GOP is not racist, explain this:

Unlike Eastern Republicans, whose history was defined by opposition to slavery, Western Republicans had long held racial views toward Asians and Native Americans similar to those of Southern Democrats toward African Americans. For example, Republican Governor Leland Stanford of California had this to say in his 1862 Inaugural Address:

"If you do not think the GOP is not racist, explain this:"



This:
Perhaps Democrats should bite the bullet and look at the facts:

With respect to the education gap, how is it that 'racism' is responsible for these areas in which black students fall short when compared to white and Asian students:

The number of days absent from school

The number of hours spent watching TV

The number of pages read for homework

Quantity and quality of reading material in the home

The presence of two parents in the home.

How does 'racism' explain these ...deficiencies????




And this:

15. And….there is this:

“For all racial and ethnic groups combined, 39.6 percent of births in the United States were out-of-wedlock (incidentally, isn’t that appalling?). And there was as always a tremendous range among groups. For blacks, the number is 69.4 percent; for American Indians/Alaska Natives, 68.2 percent (Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders were at 50.4 percent); for Hispanics, 51.8 percent; for whites, 28.2 percent; and for Asian Americans, a paltry 11.7 percent.

So, we go from seven out of ten for African Americans, to one out of ten for Asian Americans” Percentage of Births to Unmarried Women | Center for Equal Opportunity

See a problem here?

See the cowardice of Democrats in their purposely ignoring it?



The only racism in this nation is
a. the anti-white racism of the Democrats

b. the favoritisml of melanin by Democrats

c. the illusion that the dumbest.....you......accept as fact.

So, you cannot explain the example of the GOP being racist.

Get back to me when you are able to do so.

I just did: there is no racism, only a pathological sub-culture endorsed, supported and advanced by Democrats.

....a guide to the destruction of America.



1.Democrats/Progressives have taken control of the school system, with new goals.
This thread will document the things we have learned about these ideologues:

• Everything they touch turns to …..mud.
• The only things they deem important are race, class and gender….and race
• Education is not the mission of the governement school system

2. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Seems a pretty good plan.

“Thomas Jefferson High School for Mathematics and Science in Arlington, Virginia, is widely considered the best high school for math and science in the region. It is the number one ranked high school by the U.S. News and World Report in the entire nation.” Kenny Xu.

TJ High School seems to be the pinnacle of the American education system. But if you are Progressives/Democrats viewing this exemplar of what a school should be…..what do you with it? Take another look at those three bullet points above.

3. The sub-title of Mr. Xu’s book is what makes it so important for every American, and everyone who loves this nation and wishes to see the image of America restored: “The Attack on Asian American Excellence and the Fight for Meritocracy”​

You may not be Asian, as I am, but unless you are a Democrat, you wish for the same excellence in this country that brought so very many immigrants to the ‘shining city on the hill.’

The fate of Thomas Jefferson High School is replicated everywhere that Democrats control our institutions.



4. “…the attack on Asian American excellence represents the decline of a larger concept in American society that has allowed its culture of excellence to prosper: meritocracy. Asian Americans, largely without historical wealth or social connections and absent from the Left’s preferred minority list, disproportionately rely on merit, their skills and talent, to move along in society.

When identity politics undergird merit-based principles and replace them with Leftist divides along the lines of race and proximity to power, Asian Americans are squeezed out of positions for which they are well qualified, and the totality of our culture of excellence suffers.” “An Inconvenient Minority,” Xu.



5. What would you do if you decried excellence in favor of, for a more accurate term, racism…..what changes would you impose on the best high school in the nation?

In this thread, you will find every punishment you just imagined.

Achievement is not the only criteria that should be used in admissions. It should be a major part of it, but other factors should be taken into consideration as well. Asian Americans are not being discriminated against. This is just another attempt by right wing fascists like you to divide people. You are the racist accusing others of racism as a weapon.

Racism and division are pathological with you. You caqnnot win by being for something so you must divide people.

You are a dunce: can you provide the laws that are 'racist'? Current....not historic.
There are none from the Right.....but plenty from the Democrats.


I am puzzled as to how you could reach the age of majority and remain so ignorant….it must have required a great effort. The difference between racism and thought crime is a distinction you seem not to grasp. Only totalitarians require thought purity, thinking dictated by the rulers. We Americans allow freedom of thought, and many other forms of freedom. Thinking evil about others is no one else’s business…..but actions that injure, are reprehensible.
