Yes, that is a problem with Ignore, although it is occasionally amusing to see random posts from idiots you have blackballed. Oops, I guess Mr. PC Monitor will ding me for that. You volunteer in schools and he does nothing, yet he sits back and mocks your real life observations. Just like he lectured the black guy on what it is like to live in a black community.
Liberalism... the mechanism and pathway to "world-wide entropy"... except for... (1) The ruling elites (greed and lust for power ruins everything, you know), and (2) The Muslims who will kill everyone who doesn't adopt their religion If you've got half-a-brain, you gotta be really concerned about our future....
I think there are plenty of people in life who like to argue for the sake of arguing. Never mind that oftentimes their position is totally flawed and lacking in substance. I've truly tried for 13 years to help kids but at the end of the day you have to call it like you see it. A former principal who was instrumental in trying to turn around this failing school once told me the only real hope for most of these kids was if she could have them 24/7 as she knew the crappy life and home they'd go home to each day. Sadly, many people tip toe around the fact that the crux of the problem has to do with home life, including the absence of a father. Write a letter to the editor regarding this and you're accused of being a racist. But the reality is that a disproportionate number of black kids underperform in the classroom as compared to whites or Hispanics. I do this because it's not the kids fault ... it's crappy parents often who seemingly have no interest in their kids well being. Some kids will make it ... but that smaller group is often where there are 2 parents in the home and they have jobs, even if low paying. But the ever growing poverty problem will continue to get worse as too many people have become dependent on the government to pay for most everything while they do little to improve their life situation. And whereas I prefer to think of the kids I know I've really helped I know that's a small percentage. One kid told me "thanks for all the times you told me can't is not a word". And others who have actually picked up the phone and called me to say thanks or ask for math work during the summer.
The self-congratulatory strokes aside, unless Do's charges are pathologically stupid, they know exactly what he thinks and feels. I'm not surprised that he's successful -- if in fact he is -- with so few.
the problem is that this is happening. We have had what 50 years of the great society poverty give away and its only gotten far worse. Black people use to have good homes with 2 parents. So what has changed. Lets unchange it because it has not been working.
In New York City in 1925, 85% of kin-related black households had two parents.[8] When Moynihan warned in his 1965 report on the coming destruction of the black family, however, the out-of-wedlock birthrate had increased to 25% among blacks.[7] This figure continued to rise over time and in 1991, 68% of black children were born outside of marriage.[9] U.S. Census data from 2010 reveal that more African American families consisted of single-parent mothers than married homes with both parents.[10] Most recently, in 2011 it was reported that 72% of black babies were born to unwed mothers.[6] So in 1965 after Johnson's war on poverty we had a 25% rate. Now it's almost 75%. And there's an even split on party of the President .. 24 years Dems and 25 years Republicans.
So how do the children of "white", underachieving parents turn out on average over a lifetime, do they on average catch up to the children of "white", well-off parents?
