Systemic racism.
Systemic racism.

You clearly don't even know what the term means. It refers to people like you who have an obsessive hatred for Trump and find a way to blame him for everything.

Trump is going to be fine. Yet he’s the one with legions of strangers who devote significant portions of their days to defending him online. Meanwhile, I am preemptively frustrated by the red tape I will have to clear just to go visit my student in jail. It’s depressing.
1. There is absolutely no denying that from day 1, the media hasn’t been fair to him when compared to other presidents.
2. The people who aren’t fair to him do it because he is getting in the way of them systematically ruin our lives to better themselves.

The same Trump that was repeatedly prosecuted in nothing but political grandstanding by your ilk? He has faced consequences for doing nothing wrong, your student actually broke the law. The fact you're so unabashedly ignorant as to make such a comparison speaks volumes about you as an individual.This post was edited on 3/18/26 at 5:34 pm

Holy paragraph melt. The only thing I’m sorry for is that you’re in charge of anything outside a check out line. You need to seek mental help SERIOUSLY

Correct. The corrupt Political Establishment has been trying to destroy Donald Trump for over a decade now, simply because Trump didn't rise from within their ranks and they can't control him.
But peeps like 4cubbies and sfp either can't figure this out or simply refuse to acknowledge it.

So you're saying the inevitable recidivism cost you a booty call and now you're sad about it.

You must be young if you think Trump was just a reality tv star.
Oh, by the way, the oxygen thieves you support don’t care about you at all. They just expect you to be a good little sheep and vote for them. Surely you aren’t that retarded, right?

I run a program that helps felons on probation/parole get their GEDs. Today I found out one of my most consistent and promising students was arrested over the weekend. It’s just devastating.
You do the best you can.
But sometimes folks in your shoes wonder if they could have even been better than best.
Don't do that !
There are kids who grow up determined to exceed expectations.
There are kids who grow up willing to underachieve and to not care (until they do).
There are kids who recognize the blessing of a helping hand.
There are kids who recognize the blessing of a helping hand, but ultimately ignore the blessing.
All you can do is to do your best to assist and influence your students. You are trying to undo enough of the damage impacted on damaged goods to make them marketable. It is a tall order.

My effort was to seek out underprivileged pre-HS/JrHS promising kids, and get them into productive school systems, +/- scholarship/aid, which we provided depending on the landing spot. Very different precept. The kids we were working with were positively 'shaped' attitudinally, but situationally disadvantaged. The program was extremely rewarding (arguably by design). We passed it on to a group when we left Charlotte a few years back.
You're dealing with an older group, with less innate motivation. It is a tough task, especially as much as you put into it. Kudos for your efforts!

We live in Louisiana. What do you mean we aren't around a certain demographic?
You are the one making assumptions about people you don't know.
I went to public school, you have to try and frick that up and not graduate. In today's world they pass you even if you can't read at grade level. So, who is really causing systemic issues? Oh yeah, liberal school boards.

There was just a thread on the OT where people got fooled by what I thought was an obvious troll.
When I read this story and you immediately bring up Trump, my first thought is that you have to be playing us; you can't really believe what you claim that you said.
But I guess those are the best trolls: the ones you don't know for sure.

You're fricking pathetic. Privilege and Trump have nothing to do with your bullshite. It's never the criminal's fault with you leftists. It's always someone else's fault. Apparently personal responsibility isn't in your vocabulary. Your "student" made a conscious choice to break the law. Period!
Your TDS is terminal.

Now you know why she freely blows felons.

Consistently poor life choices and a perpetual failure of responsibility?

Eh, I know a few in the felon demographic. Most are pieces of shite regardless of whatever they were up against. A few however, are just nice dudes given a bad hand or bad luck. One common denominator is, all of them put themselves into position to be a felon. Nicest dude of them all lost everything and devestated his life. He knows he messed up. So yeah, there are felons who can be saved.

Still waiting on someone to actually quantify these systemic issues.

You dealt with TDS admirably.

BTW none of my student's charges or convictions are violent and he's still stuck in pre-trial detention because cash bail doesn't always make sense.
Agree for non-violent.

I did prison ministry and mentored a guy in a pre-release program for over a year before he got out. I've lost track of him over the years as he moved back to Ohio because he actually had a family to go to after 17 years. Quite unusual but last I heard he had a good job and his family was happy he was home. He was my only success story.
I have poured hours into others pre and post release and drove them to jobs, counseling, probation meetings, etc. I can't tell you the number but not a one took full advantage of all our help. Everyone went back to their old lives and they were total disappointments and a total waste of my time and efforts. Bless you for trying they are what they are and that's about all they know. You might stumble over one like I did that actually had a good heart and probably could have been released years earlier and he would have been fine. Total exception though to 90% of them.

Good on ya’! It’s incredibly important work, even if the success rate isn’t 100%. quote:You’ve got the right attitude. As Milton Friedman once said… if you and someone else are in the middle of a lake in a boat.. if the other guy pulls out a gun and shoots theee holes in the boat, should you pull your gun out and shoot more holes in the boat? You’re more mature than the car manager. Keep it up.
My capacity for disappointment has been exceeded this week. When I told his case manager about the arrest, she started popping off about Trump and “how can we expect people in the streets to follow rules when the president doesn’t have to?” I just looked at her and said “Trump doesn’t have to face the consequences of his actions.
