Sucks to be Black

Awesome data. I wonder how many more variables it would take to show California has the best education system in the World. Let's see, Ranking by Quality of High Schools with Top Universities, near an Ocean, with Deserts and an international border. Bet they come out on top then.

How about just admitting Texas sucks?

Ofc, we all remember how the media treated zimmerman. Innocent white guy who had to defend himself against the brutish onslaught of a villainous black thug while he did his job as neighborhood watch, trying to keep people safe.

I call BS on this story and say that it's just another sensationalist puff piece that seeks to profit on current events to push an agenda or an ideology. exactly what a biased, 2bit media would do.

Call me an elitist asshole, but from this vantage point what I see wrong with the country is threads like this. Not one reliable citation, just an opinion dragging up a tired old meme.

This Polack believes the blacks in the US need to stop being "black" and start being Americans. The great liberal of the 20th century John Fitzgerald Kennedy said "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".

When the greatest contribution to your country is to complain about being black what, exactly, are you giving? The largest minority in my city - 23% is Chinese, another 19% Indian, and 7% identified as Asian. We do not count "whites" here as it is not an identifiable race, but adding it all up whites represent about 42% of the population.

I have never heard a new or third generation Chinese say "it sucks to be Chinese", nor an Indian or even our First Nations who really have been handed the **** end of the stick. But if you spend a half an hour looking, I suspect you will find more than a few threads like this.

Stop complaining and start changing.

Only a complete idiot would argue that Texas ranks in the top 20% of the best K-12 schools in the country.

Well, when I'm living in the Progressive nightmare of California, everything else looks like paradise. Besides, real data doesn't support your fantasy.

What fantasy, that the schools in the liberal NE are better than the ones in the conservative states? Seems more like fact to me.

As for TX and Cali, I believe I clearly said that schools in both states suck.

And I've clearly stated you are wrong about Texas. As to where schools are better, you've claimed much.

It's weird trying to track the claims of Calamity into a coherent line of reasoning. He's really trying to argue that whites have it better than blacks, and in an effort to show this he argues that lilly white New England states have better schools in general than the south. But do blacks do better in New England schools, or do they rank higher because they are more white than the southern states? I mean, demographically all he might be arguing is a matter of demographics rather than school system rankings.

Washington DC spends more per student than almost any other school district in the country, but their schools are always in disrepair and their literacy rates rank near the bottom. Very liberal Detroit is a disaster area where kids in 1st grade have a better chance of ending up in prison than graduating high school.

I think the real problem for blacks is that they have for far too long been a rubber stamp for the Democratic party who have brought them nothing but dependency and abortion in return for their loyalty.

At the end of the day, it seems the key to a good education involves parents who require their children to make the effort. A single parent household seems to have been a disaster for many kids around the country. With so many Black families comprised of one parent, usually just the Mother, the results speak for themselves.

I have spent my first official year of retirement in the sun, sailing, walking the beach in one of the hottest and sunniest years this city has ever seen.

As a result I intend to self identify as a Black Pollock.

Weakypedia does not gets anyone started. It just leaves you where you were due to invalid and unreliable comments that could be put there from just about anyone, at anytime, with a "largest number of result in search engine" perspective rather than reality.

Do you have any series links for a change?

You have an alternative suggestion for Wiki?

You seem quite expert on ths subject and since you have enough information on Wiki to reject it outright, I figure you must know a better source.

Or are you one of these guys who rejects all evidence given based on his perception of the source and constantly demands links from others without ever offeringone of his own.

The answer is out there!

First, let me say that I believe Trayvon Martin was an innocent victim and George Zimmerman should have been guilty of negligent homicide - at the very least. However, Michael Brown does NOT appear to be an innocent victim. The young man appears to have been a thug and may have led the officer to believe his life was in danger.

Trayvon Martin paid for his things at the convenient store. He was walking around a neighborhood wearing a "hoody" and walking near the condominiums because it was raining. The shooting of Trayvon Martin was a tragic event.

But to compare Michael Brown to Trayvon Martin is absurd. Michael Brown appears to have been a thug and any comparison to Trayvon Martin is an insult to Trayvon's memory.

I don't personally know anyone who would have acted the way Michael Brown did in the convenient store. And there is now evidence that the officer suffered a broken eye socket.

And these conclusions are based on?

I did not follow the who soap opera, but what I did see what a CBC documentary comparing the daily coverage of the Canadian media and the US. It was clear, very clear there was an agenda there, Fox of course one way and everyone else seeing the "innocent" victim.

CBC was there for coverage of what was in essence the challenge of what to us is the most disgusting law on the planet...stand your ground.

In the end, seeing the coverage after the fact, I had to reluctantly agree that under that law Zimmerman was innocent....as ugly as that fact is.

The problem there was not the trial, not the shooting, but the law that allowed it.

Black Americans are taught to play the victim, brainwashed into being non-thinking and inferior in their own minds, then subjugated into a dependent unilateral voting block to be used and abused at the whim of liberals and Democrats as needed.

What Democrats do to black people is the closest thing to slavery that remains in the United States.

What facts? That someone scoured endless reams of articles to find headlines that sort of fit their argument?

Gee not very hard.

Cliven Bundy and his supporters are hailed as patriots for figuratively pointing weapons at law enforcement...and not so figuratively.

Open carry protesters are hailed as patriots for confronting law enforcement.

Citizens are seen in videos challenging Border Patrol for asking if they are American citizens at a border check point.

Protesters are allowed to defy law enforcement and stand in the road and stop a bus on official governmental business.

If you can't figure out what the similarity is in these acts....then you as dumb as a ****ing rock.

And Brown was standing up for his right to steal, smack around store clerks and assault policemen? :roll:

The gentle giant was perhaps to big for the sidewalk. And, the nice young college student probably didn't hear the officer asking him to get off the street. ;)

...Awaiting you to find it, and use it to support your own statements. I spend enough of my time searching for good links (Unlike Weakypedia which is out of the question) to support my own statements. Why should I bother searching for references to support your BS also?
