re: Why do states with high average IQ vote D while states with low average IQ vote R

Yea, I once heard an older black woman bashing "ebonics" and "thug life", saying the slaves would die for education and now the black community embraces ignorance.

But I also think the impact of welfare and food stamps are to blame. When hand outs are available, people have no reason to thrive or grow. So now the government has complete control over them financially, while having their vote. It's unbelievable how well LBJ is still trolling the black community to this day.

Yep, the black community has willingly became slaves to the DNC. It's sad.

You're one of my favorite posters, but don't fall into this trap. It's used too often as a tool to silence valid opinions/criticism.

i was being sarcastic but there is some truth that a ton of people will not listen even if i'm right

i drink a coffee cup with this pic on it every day. i'm not ACTUALLY worried

I think this is also a huge problem. I personally didn't deal with it as much since I attended schools with mostly white students, but friends of mine definitely had issues with this.

when i get talking about trying to improve education with people (typically liberal types) and they want to build the system to protect the terrible kids who ruin the education of kids who want to learn, instead of building the system around the kids who want to learn, i rage

it's one of the few political subjects i get emotional about. i go hulk and rage

Same here.

In a classroom of 30 students, all it takes is one bad apple to completely ruin it for everyone.

A very good friend of mine in HS was a black guy with 1st generation Jamaican parent immigrants.

He spoke English as well as I do and, was one of the brightest kids in school.

The blacks in our school were absolutely ruthless towards him. It's a testament to his fantastic parents that the dude wasn't suicidal.

Here he is in a burb school with only about 15% blacks and I mean, it was like the dude has some version of racial cooties. Even half decent black kids wanted no part of looking like they were cool with him.

I heard it all. He was "acting white", an "oreo" etc etc.

I sit on a local school board and see this all the time. We have kids who don't care about their own education also affecting the education of children who DO care, and there is not a whole lot we can do about it.

Question. I've noticed what to me, seems like a newer trend which I find as disturbing as the outcasting of smart blacks.

It seems that a lot of blacks who are well spoken, smart, etc etc have developed a new coping mechanism with being outcast from their own group. Namely, they have become some of the worst SJWs for race.

Like they're on some sort of quest to "prove they are legitimately black" whatever that might mean.

To me, it's sad because black kids aren't going to look to me to emulate; they're going to look to successful blacks to emulate.

But, they can't emulate them. I emulated white people who most assuredly would have and DID say, "Shorty, you're fricking up.....". I probably wouldn't have done so well if all the whites in my life excused or glorified my stupid choices.

I'm glad because here's the worst thing about that story.

SOME blacks that I tell it to think it is perfectly OK to use "acting white" and "oreo". I've had black people tell me that's completely legit.

I'm like, what fricked up mechanism has caused blacks to think they really ARE supposed to all be the same?

I mean, that's the shite the KKK is selling. That's not supposed to be what blacks are buyin

Take someone like Ben Carson, for example, that guy should be a role model for ANYONE, his politics be damned, we're talking about a black man who grew up in a pretty poor area of a shitty town and not only clawed his way through school but became the first person in his family to attend college and not only that went to Yale and became a neurosurgeon. That's not just impressive, that's awe inspiring, yet many on the left, and many blacks in particular hate the guy and ridicule him as not being black enough.

---

Did all that and yet, if you asked the average black person today what they think of Carson, they'd call him names and say he's kinda dumb.

I mean, really. I've said for years that the left has been successful where the KKK failed.

The KKK stupidly thought the best way to "deal with blacks" was to hold them down.

Pfft. The left says, "hold our beer". The BEST way is to get them to hold THEMSELVES down!!!
