I ignored you because it is a stupid question, and my race is none of your business.

well if you are not black, and you are suggesting black folks need to act a certain way, i.e. "too white", some might view that as quite racist, imo.

How would his skin color change your opinion of him? Would that not be discrimination in and of itself on your part? I think we can classify your question as bigoted.

God has no place in government or schools, Im against coporate welfare among other positions. being free market, does not make one on that alone a conservative. calling me one is like the plumage of a peakock of ignorance, if thats how you would like to proudly present yourself.

Not really. point being if you are of one race and you start talking about how another should behave, you might be a wee bit racist. I made no judgment of anyones race.

Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

Your "objective" standards are not. Systemic privilege exists, and that skews the scores of minorities.

Anyway, why do you only specify blacks among the bottom 20% of acceptances when they are a small minority of it? Shouldn't we be talking about how whites "lower" the standards, since they are the majority of the bottom 20%?

still trying to excuse black underperformance?

Well, the great thing is that if Blacks are opposed to school choice then they can take their vouchers and hand them over to the same under performing schools their kids go to today.

If all schools were held to the same basic standard of learning and received equal funding, then vouchers would likely be unneccessary and irrelevant.

Re: NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Sco

I think more than anything what Tim Scott's election highlights is that race does matter to Republicans as much as it does to Democrats. Why wouldn't it? Political parties are trying to make their product appealing to their target demographics. With that said, let's face it, the neoliberal economic policies of the modern Republican party simply do not appeal to minorities or even first generation immigrants. Ironically, most minorities tend to be socially conservative. So why haven't Republicans been able to tap into them for nearly 60 years? Well, it's mostly because historically, black Republicans voted for things that modern day Republicans would find unthinkable. This is what Black Republicans did for South Carolina:

South Carolina African Americans - Major Events in Reconstruction Politics

established a balanced, tripartite form of government for the first time in South Carolina's history

established comprehensive local governments, replacing the patchwork of specialized commissions which handled everything from roads to welfare

created a detailed Declaration of Rights which mandated political equality regardless of race

mandated state-wide public education for the first time

established a welfare program for the poor, aged, and disabled that was channeled through county governments

removed the requirement of owning property in order to vote.

South Carolinian (black) Republicans were very in tune with progressive ideas however, they were not the only ones. Other Republicans like Blanche K. Bruce also stood in favor of social programs to help the needy. Bruce even supported expanding federal government's role in education. Now compare that to the modern Republican party which stands in favor of economically gutting the department of education, ending welfare programs or cutting more and more people out on the 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps' arguments and you'll see that the Republicans lost the black vote not because blacks were brainwashed but because white Republicans stopped supporting progressive causes.

That is simply not true. I live in a county that is predominately White of one end and predominately black on the other. Same funding, same curriculum yet the black schools are perennial failures and the White schools get national awards for excellence.

Recognizing the existence of systemic privilege is not excusing anyone. Failing to recognize systemic privilege is a childish and ignorant attempt to demonize blacks as inferior.

Take the difference between test scores, make it a percentage and there you have a quantification of systemic privilege.

Unless you want to provide more details your antidotal evidence has no credibility in this discussion.

You are actually comparing the NAACP to the KKK? How many whites has the NAACP lynched? How many have they beaten? How many have they castrated for looking at a black woman? How many crosses have they burned on white lawns?

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Yes, actually, I am. Both are racist. Neither have lynched anyone in recent history. Join the modern day.

Since those two politicians oppose everything the NAACP stands for, why on earth should they mention them? Just because they're black?
Click to expand...

Um...yeah?

Scott and Love are 2 Black people who have advanced in the world of politics.
Isn't that what the NAACP supports? Blacks advancing in society? Or, in reality, does the partisan views of the NAACP come first and not the advancement of Blacks?

The NAACP is acting two-faced.

You take exception to someone not paying attention to the color of their skin?

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." I guess Dr. King was certainly not dreaming of a liberal/progressive nation.

No, because he was a Democrat. You pretty much prove the point that the NAACP primary goal is to advance the Democrat Party, not blacks. If their true purpose is that stated in their mission statement, they would certainly celebrate Scott's win.
