An Inconvenient Truth: Waiting for “Superman” to Save Education is akin to Waiting for Godot

Time magazine asked an important question last week: “What makes a school great?”

Devoting many pages of deadwood to bemoaning the current state of K-12 education in America, Time reports:
Waiting for "Superman" is a new film about America's malfunctioning education system by Davis Guggenheim, the Academy Award-winning director of An Inconvenient Truth, a movie that took on another mind-numbingly complex issue and, confounding all logic, grossed $50 million worldwide — and changed the way many Americans think about climate change.

Scheduled to be released on Sept. 24, Waiting for "Superman" is a documentary that follows five kids and their parents as they try to escape their neighborhood public schools for higher-performing public charter schools. The movie explains how it could be that the U.S. since 1971 has more than doubled the money it spends per pupil, yet still trails most rich nations in science and math scores. 
 SBPDL picked up the book companion to the movie Waiting for “Superman” while traveling and realized that regardless of the money, time and effort exerted,  a majority of students will always look up at the sky awaiting the arrival of an academic Superman to impart knowledge upon them.

Not even the Justice League of America could provide positive intervention at this point to uplift failing students, and yet the continued allocation of available educational resources (both public and private) are spent and dispensed trying to close the proverbial Grand Canyon, er, racial gap in scholastic achievement. 

After finishing Waiting for “Superman” it became apparent that the ultimate inconvenient truth that few wish to acknowledge is the pattern of failure that accompanies one group wherever they reside in the United States. 

It’s not bad schools that create, by osmosis, bad students; its bad students performing poorly on standardized tests, disrupting classes repeatedly requiring expulsion; and a lack of parental involvement that ensures the maintenance of bad schools.

No matter how many Ivy League graduates enter the ranks of Teach for America and attempt to impart knowledge on would-be professional athletes, Superman from his Fortress of Solitude will refuse to intervene on behalf of those who are cognitively disinclined into perpetuity.  

Many children would have better luck Waiting for Godot than Waiting for “Superman” as no amount of money, praying or divine intervention by highly educated Crusading White Pedagogues will bring about an academic revolution where it is biologically impossible to transpire.  The racial gap will remain, while intellectuals and education specialists masquerading as Vladimir and Estragon debate the next breakthrough in teaching that will finally level the playing field, ushering an era of scholastic equality.
Whenever such an innovation appears that threatens to remove the inequities - the source of such difference is anything but nature – the odds are overwhelming that fraud is a close-associate. Well, either fraud or a colossal dumbing-down of the test to ensure everyone passes.
You see, in Black Run America (BRA) the pursuit of life and liberty is superseded by the ceaseless quest of enhancing Black happiness. Every amount of energy must be expended to close the racial gap in learning, since education is a barometer of success. After all, why must Black people continue to suffer the indignity of working as barbers and postal employees in such high numbers?

 An inconvenient truth confronting those who made Waiting for “Superman” is simply this: Waiting on “Lex Luthor” makes more sense. The arch-nemesis of Superman, it would take a man of Luthor’s integrity to admit the truth that not everyone is capable of producing grades worthy of admittance to college; learning advanced trigonometry or understanding quantum physics; and that some people will be left behind, no matter the effort exerted.
Not everyone has the scholastic aptitude or intelligence to learn at the same rate and many of those left behind become a general nuisance to the overall learning environment and distract those who yearn for education.
It’s time to realize that no amount of nurture can supplant the injustices of nature, regardless of the amount of private and public money provided or time and tutelage volunteered. However, a recent book by Stuart Buck argues that desegregation spawned a culture that finds the malady of acting white synonymous with excelling at school:
But suppose integration doesn't change the culture of underperformance? What if integration inadvertently created that culture in the first place? This is the startling hypothesis of Stuart Buck's Acting White: The Ironic Legacy of Desegregation. Buck argues that the culture of academic underachievement among black students was unknown before the late 1960s.
It was desegregation that destroyed thriving black schools where black faculty were role models and nurtured excellence among black students. In the most compelling chapter of Acting White, Buck describes that process and the anguished reactions of the black students, teachers, and communities that had come to depend on the rich educational and social resource in their midst.

Buck draws on empirical studies that suggest a correlation between integrated schools and social disapproval of academic success among black students. He also cites the history of desegregation's effect on black communities and interviews with black students to back up a largely compelling—and thoroughly disturbing—story.
 If this hypothesis is correct, then we have spent perhaps more than a quadrillion dollars for naught. Then again, Black people in North Carolina regard any attempt of the ending of forced busing a harbinger of the reinstitution of academic segregation, which a Black intellectual argues was a net positive for Black education:
Protesters and police scuffled Tuesday at a school board meeting in North Carolina over claims that a new busing system would resegregate schools, roiling racial tensions reminiscent of the 1960s.

Nineteen people were arrested, including the head of state NAACP chapter who was banned from the meeting after a trespassing arrest at a June school board gathering.
"We know that our cause is right," the Rev. William Barber said shortly before police put plastic handcuffs on his wrists before the meeting started.

Inside, more than a dozen demonstrators disrupted the meeting by gathering around a podium, chanting and singing against the board's policies.

After several minutes, Raleigh police intervened and asked them to leave. When they refused, the officers grabbed arms and tried to arrest the protesters. One child was caught in the pushing and shoving, as was school board member Keith Sutton, who was nearly arrested before authorities realized who he was.

"Hey, hey, ho, ho, resegregation has got to go," some protesters chanted.


SBPDL proposes we no longer practice Waiting for “Superman,” for this is as absurd an action as Waiting for Godot. We should instead practice Waiting for Meteor Man, an authentically Black protagonist who has amazing superpowers that would help bridge the racial gap:
Jefferson Reed is a mild mannered school teacher in Washington D.C.. His neighborhood is terrorized by a local gang called the Golden Lords. One night, Jeff steps in to rescue a woman from the gang, only to end up running from them himself. Hiding in a garbage dumpster, he manages to escape, and as he climbs out of it, he is struck down by a glowing green meteorite which crashes down from the sky. His spine is crushed and he receives severe burns. A small fragment of the meteor was left over and was taken by a silent vagrant (Bill Cosby). Reed awakens several days later in the hospital, but when his bandages are taken off, he is miraculously healed from all his injuries.


Jeff soon discovers the meteorite has left him with other abilities too, such as flight, x-ray vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, healing powers, absorb a book's content by touch, freezing breath, telepathy with dogs and telekinesis. Confiding this to his parents (Robert Guillaume and Marla Gibbs), he is convinced by them to use his powers to try and help the community. His mother designs a costume for him, and as The Meteor Man, he takes on the Golden Lords and their leader Simon Caine (Roy Fegan). He shuts down a crack house, stops a robbery, and unites the Crips, Bloods and the police.



Perhaps it’s Meteor Man that Washington DC Black voters want to run their city schools, instead of that Asian lady. Problem: Meteor Man can only remember a book's content for 30-seconds after touching it, so his tutelage on matters concerning the SAT/ACT/LSAT/MCAT/GMAT wouldn’t be exactly prodigious.
Getting back to the question posed by Time, we can only provide the following answer: schools in these areas.

What do you think?

We’ll keep Waiting for Meteor Man while Disingenuous White Liberals, Crusading White Pedagogues and the entire education establishment keeps looking out for Godot.

We understand he provides the key to finally eradicating the racial gap in education.

The only thing that is going to get blacks performing on an even keel with whites is Harrison Bergeron-style eugenics. For those who have never read the story, it is basically about a future where everyone is equal in all things. Exceptionally ugly people are given cosmetic surgery, and the beautiful are disguised to look more hideous, in order for everyone to look the same. Those with exceptional athletic abilities are required to wear weights and chains.

Starting tomorrow, all white students with an IQ at least two standard deviations higher than the average black IQ should be summarily hit on the head with hammers until "Good morning, my fellow students," morphs into "What'z happenin' cuz?"

Personally, I look forward to the dissolution of this country. Once the grid goes down, I'll be able to set up my dystopian separatist state. I plan to mount the skulls of my enemies onto the hood of my hummer and have a chandalier featured prominently in the cab of my car, a la Isaac Hayes in "Escape from New York." From there, I will go from gas station to gas station, weilding my shotgun, accompanied by my loyal army of meth-addict hicks. After I secure all of the petrol, my supremacy will be unchallenged. I'm hoping at some point that my face gets brutally scarred so that I can don a hockey mask and become a true badass.

I have relatives who never finished high school working in construction. They are for the most part content with their life, obviously they wish they had a bit more but they still contribute to society and go about their life in their own way. Here's my point, nearly 90% of the jobs out there really don't require much more than an eight grade education, just some common sense and the ability to follow directions. Does a police officer need to be able to quote Hamlet? Does a receptionist need to know Algebra? Do truck drivers need to know how to know what a periodic table is?

They recite the incarceration stats of the high school drop outs, take a look at the racial composite and I would be willing to bet that has a much more causal relationship.

"Education for the masses" is way overrated. You can't teach the unwilling, but conversely in this country you really can't hold back the truly motivated.

Desiree said...

I don't know when you graduated from public education--if you went at all--but I graduated high school in 2007 and from one of the largest, fastest growing school districts in the US.

Things are different now. My high school was a prison and the administrators treated everyone who was below a 3.0 GPA (not amongst those people, by the way) like they were trash.

You could complain about the teachers but at the end of the day, the district cared about them more than the students.

The way to fix education is to fire bad teachers, first and foremost. Secondly, schools need to stop acting like everyone learns the same and if you don't fit the paradigm, something is wrong with you.

I realize this was yet another 'bash the brother man' post (no shit, right?) but black children are treated differently. I've seen it first hand. My high school was predominantly minority but the student council was all white preppies, a few sellout PoC thrown in for spice, maybe. and these whiteys could do whatever the hell they wanted...

Ability has nothing to do with race. Race is unimportant in a biological sense but it means everything in this system. This isn't BRA by any stretch of the imagination... If you have money, status, and the right skin color, you can do anything. If you have opportunities, you can do anything.

If you have none of the above, you'll have to struggle more. Basic sociology 101. I think you should question why the Suits are allowing poor and minority children to get the brunt of bad schools, bad teachers... It has nothing to do with us!

Fayette White Guy said...

I learned (and continue to learn) just as much outside of school as inside. I was never one to blame any of my academic shortcomings on a teacher. A teacher cannot make an unmotivated student learn. It's simply not possible. Some people don't care about learning, and we read about the consequences of this every day here on SPBDL.

Anonymous said...

This isn't a race thing, it's cultural and socioeconomic. Some cultures value education more then others independent of skin color. Ie There are Asian immigrants whipping the academic pants off plenty of white kids.

But honestly, the poster above, got it right, why are kids being forced to sit in desks 8 hours a day, learning things that will be of no use to them in life? It seems that if more time was spent teaching someone how to balance a checking account and less on algebra, and information that will never be used or remembered, it would be far more useful.

Also this idea of forcing everyone into 12 expensive years of forced academic training, white, black or brown, seems to be just a waste of time. Teach everyone to read at a basic level, and do basic math to function and make change, and after that let the chips fall where they may. Not everyone is suited for academics. In fact this idea that "everyone should go to college" [considering the lack of good jobs in America] sets up many for failure, and has basically turned the college degree into just an expensive high school diploma that takes up many years. I suggest you read Gatto: "Against School"

http://www.spinninglobe.net/againstschool.htm

Schools more and more have become glorified daycare centers, then about real education and in some areas, are serving more as would be penal institutions.

Every grown-up out there can tell you just the sheer hours spent in boredom, as the teachers gave them useless busy-work, spent hours herding the ever too large classes, and waste of time, and hours of a youthful life.

hey desiree maybe the black students were treated differently because they were loud, rambunctious, and frequently misbehaved. At least this is generally the case everywhere else there are a lot of black students.

Don said...

More profound insights again SBPDL

The sytem cannot be fixed, for some very simple and very basic reasons

1. The Genes: The I.Q. differences in the races are inborn-genetic. NO amount of government largesse can alter that fact... Africans with and average i.q. of 70-75 (2 standard deviations below whites/asians!) & blacks in the U.S. with 78-85 means that they CANNOT-EVER compete (at least on an even playing field) with Euro's or Asians. Only "cooking the books" or dumbing down the schools so low that any parity is meanigless!.

2. The Culture: Whites & Asians come from & created literate societies. Whites & Asians are high i.q. races & their societies & their cultural, intellectual & scientific accomplishments reflect this fact. The negro evolved from a non literate, low achievment cultures & societies. The value of education (or progress) never developed as a cultural/societal paradigm. They evolved a different "world view".

3. Conclusion: Since the negro, genetically is low i.q., low impulse control, highly sexually & emotionally aggressive...It stands to reason then that this is WHY the negro is an abject failure in EVERY nation & society encountered. No amount of gov. largesse or forcing "diversity" down our throats will make the races equal!...It cannot be done.

Desiree said: "Ability has nothing to do with race. Race is unimportant in a biological sense"..........Ummm, sorry, but RACE has EVERYTHING to do with ability!!. Not in the trite world of professional athletics but in the deepest sense. In the ability to CREATE & maintain stable & prosperous societies!...Tell me Desiree. If ability has NOTHING to do with race then WHY is it in ALL black majority countries & cities a consistant pattern shines through?...Hmmm?, I don't think I need to go into exhausting detail to highlight those "Patterns"!! (I know that all reading this KNOW what those patterns are!!!)

Douglas said...

Don said race has everything to do with ability except in professional athletics.

I think race has everything to do with ability period. Blacks are better at the most physically demanding sports, that's why the southern colleges go out of their way to accommodate them. They will lower their standard. They will have people such as my aunt teach them to read at an 8th grade level to accept their scholarships. They will do anything they can to see their teams win and bring in the bucks while a bunch of redneck whites drink beer, paint themselves and act like asses to see their team win.

Yes, blacks are taken advantage of. They are pushed into colleges so the college can make their money off them knowing full well most will fail miserably if they can't go on to professional sports.

Desiree is correct. Blacks are treated different. Whites bend over backwards to just the kiss the behinds of the black man hoping he will learn to get along.

We are not all created equal. We should all have equal rights under the law, but that is being distorted horribly. I was not created to play basketball with people 7 foot tall. To say I am equal to that is ludicrous.

Fair East Side High said...

There is only one way to solve the problem. Bring in Joe Clark, aka Batman, aka Morgan Freeman from "Lean on Me." Remember that part where he takes the fat kid from "Juice" up to the ledge of the roof?

"You smoke crack, don't you Sims?!" "You know what that stuff does to you? It kills your brain cells, son! It kills your brain cells. Now if you want to kill yourself, go on and jump! Do it expeditiously!"

Failing that we need Magical Negro trope # 2, AKA Morgan Freeman from the "Bruce Almighty" series, aka black Jesus.

If that doesn't work, bring in numinous negro #3, Morgan Freeman from "The Shawshank Redemption." He can teach these kids to persevere.

Cry me a river bitch
Desiree has become the “oh that bitch again” the cunt that nobody takes seriously.Besides, do they realize how pathetic it is to go after the student council who are really little more than race appeasers with a fetish for Martin Luther King?So those PoC are sellouts.Aren't you a sellout for tryin' to make into racist whitey's world.Huh

"Ability has nothing to do with race. Race is unimportant in a biological sense but it means everything in this system. This isn't BRA by any stretch of the imagination... If you have money, status, and the right skin color, you can do anything. If you have opportunities, you can do anything."

What is the price of refusing to acknowledge racial differences? It is as simple and as staggering as this: America will never solve its racial problems.

The most immediate problem is that blacks and, to a lesser extent, Hispanics are failing in disproportionate numbers. If we are to believe that all races are equally talented and hard-working then the failures of blacks and Hispanics cannot be their own fault. They can only be the fault of white people. Therefore every time a non-white takes drugs, goes on welfare or commits a crime it is a silent indictment of “racist” white people, past and present. It cannot be otherwise if all races have the same natural potential.

All other multi-racial societies show the same pattern. In Brazil, for example, slavery was never as widespread as in the United States and race relations are consistently described as better than they are here. Yet the disparity between black and white incomes is greater in Brazil than in the United States. Cuba also has a mixed population and is famous for its aggressive, socialist egalitarianism. Though Cuban officials are embarrassed by this and try to keep it a secret, blacks are invariably at the bottom of society.

Has anything bad happened to black people anywhere in the world that wasn't the fault of white people.If whites are such racist evil devils, shouldn’t you be working for complete separation from them rather than integration?Huh

Now hurry up and respond with "whites do it too", then add a few blame-whitey comments, followed by your idiotic habitual use of "LMBAO".

Desiree said...

@Don:

The system can be fixed by firing bad teachers. 'Bad' encompasses a lot of categories, such as teaching ability, patience level, etc.

Anyway...

1. Okay, Whitey constantly harps on the IQ bullshit. Although I do believe there is an inborn component to IQ, intelligence is mostly environmental. The brain is wired about 50% when a child is born and continues to be wired as they experience life in the early formative years. Think about it logically, rationally, please: if a child, even one 'born' with the propensity for a genius level IQ, does not have the environment to stimulate their so-called IQ potential, they will not meet (or exceed) that potential. Think about the cases of feral children. They are among numerous examples showing that nothing about the human being that makes us truly different from our ape predecessors is inborn.

Also, explain to me why whites are the at the base 'average' on the IQ scale. I smell bullshit and it doesn't take a degree to see that the ones who made IQ in general would fancy themselves the control, the norm. Everyone else is measured based off Whitey's level.

Again, which is why IQ is completely moot. I don't even know why it's still discussed! Even with the gratuitous adjustments to the classic IQ tests to make them less 'culturally bias', Whitey is still making the test. Hello?

2. Enviroment influences the way indviduals and societies develop. I believe the fertility and abundance in African regions could have fostered the more 'relaxed' lifestyle of sub-saharan Africans. Whites and Asians are from colder environments and probably had to 'survive' (ie. thinking about how to get to B from A).

Literacy and achievement are, regardless of what you think, subjective. I know Whitey likes to harp on the fact Africans didn't record their history as indicative of some cognitive deficiency but it's just a difference in culture, like you acknowledged. African cultures orate; I think that is one of the reasons why blacks tend to have natural timing and are generally more engaging and competent speakers than whites, as well as singers (if you doubt this one, think about the formation of American popular music; blacks ruled and continue to do so even now, despite the fragmentation of the industry). The human voice is what we use...

Desiree said...

@Don (cont'd):

The value of education (or progress) never developed as a cultural/societal paradigm. They evolved a different "world view".

Well, tell that to the African students who consistently over-achieve when given the opportunity to enjoy Western universities. It is the same as Indian students. The Indian subcontinent may not be war torn but it is as equally subpar (according to Western standards) as some African countries (both have many modern, efficient cities) and a majority of the population is poor. Yet, these Indian students, like African students, come and kick ass in school.

Like the way Whitey is granted the luxury of being considered an 'individual', blacks should be afforded the same courtesy.

3. No, your conclusion is BS. Low impulse control, sexually and emotionally aggressive? LOL! I never knew I was a totally impulsive, emotionally retarded, sex maniac. Okay, since you are lumping all blacks together, please explain why there are so many successful blacks? Why there are blacks who are not imprisoned or on welfare? Why there are millions of blacks all over the world who are not failures? Face it: you theory is full of shit!

Race has nothing to do with ability. You pretty much disputed this unintentionally by discussing culture, which is fluid and environmentally based. Black majority countries have been torn by European ideologies and conquest. I cannot in good faith compare conquered, violated societies with ones that were not.

If all of Africa had never seen a Caucasoid and the countries within still developed into what they are now, I would shout from the rooftops that you were right. But you are not. You are full of shit.

LOL @ 'trite' in the athletic arena. Funny that the place where whites consistently underperform in comparison to blacks is where the differences are considered meaningless or unimportant, 'moot'. That gave me a great chuckle, Don; you are such a fucking hypocrite! Blacks are superior in athletics, superior. Any white-dominated sport, we enter it and OWN it. Tennis, golf, everything. The only thing we are not best at, it seems, is swimming, and I think it is due to the fact our bodies are just more muscular and stronger in build. Fat floats, typically, whereas muscle is heavier and sinks.

By the way, as much as Whitey wants to disregard Egypt as Africa's Daughter and claim her as their own, it was a black civilization. What about Great Zimbabwe? Jesus Christ, just be quiet now!

Jack Welch is on CNBC this morning talking about how we need greater education in order to stay competitive with the rest of the world. I understand his point, and if there's anyone to listen to with regards to keeping American Business competitive it would be Jack.

Here is what needs to be realized. Over in India, where we have 1 billion citizens, it is unfathomable to pursue a "no child left behind" policy. It is customary for the poor villages to identify the brightest of their youth and to invest heavily in their education, ensuring that he is prepared for university, while the rest of the children are fated to become farmers, taxi drivers, and the like.

I believe that the elites of all races, black, white, Asian, Latino, etc., should receive the focus of the resources and not the riff raff who do not care about becoming educated.

Underclass black kids do not have the civility and mental skill to succeed in the classroom.

I went to a majority black "experimental" open-concept public elementary school in the late 70's because I happened to live in the neighborhood and my parents could not afford to send me to the private school. The black kids were malnourished, sickly, could not speak english well, were neglected at home, underdressed in the winter, dirty, smelly and poorly behaved. Most had head-lice and were all on free breakfast and lunch. The students at my school, Washington-Carver Elementary, received many free government programs such as flouride rinse, free eye screenings, free dental exams, special ed. programs, mental health screenings, physical health checks, free breakfast, free lunch, etc. Probably more spend per child than the other city schools.

There was no learning going on except for the few white students. It was a daycare center for black kids. The white kids had independent work at our little cubicles while the teachers wrestled with the black kids all day. On a regular day, there were at least 10 little black boys sitting in the hall "on the punishment", they called it. One black child died at home for a reason we never learned, a few black girls were sexually abused at home and the police came to collect them at school. Occasionally, an irate black woman would charge into the school with a knife and threaten to kill the teachers and principal for "treating her baby like that".

I learned a great deal in that environment because I was smart, my parents were not wealthy but were interested in my success, and the teachers liked me because I was well-behaved. Not so with most black kids, and it is still true.

Deziree, please STFU, you're like a broken record, constantly repeating the same old tired excuses.

There is not a nation on this planet where blacks excel at academics or learning, in fact, quite the opposite, blacks are consistently at the bottom of the learning curve, and at the bottom of the social structure.

Your excuse-making is nauseating.

Stuff Black People Don't Like said...

Desiree,

The best and the brightest come from Africa, China, and India to learn from the best universities in America.

Sadly, those schools aren't Historically Black College's and University's (HBCU's).

Henry Gates - of Beer Summit fame - complains that African students get affirmative action over native born Black people and gain admittance to Harvard and other Ivy League schools at the expense of the ancestors of actual slaves.

The totality of the power Black Run America has over the general populace is staggering. Today, Facebook "creator" Mark Zuckerberg donated $100 million to NEWARK!!! city schools, to help students there and there alone, as if that county and school system is a hotbed of innovation and potential entrepreneurship.

http://newsone.com/nation/good-news-nation/newsonestaff4/newark-mayor-recieves-100-million-donation-from-mark-zuckerberg-to-fix-schools/

I have written about Newark in the past and pointed out that a tax-exempt fund has been created where rich liberals can funnel money into Newark and feel good about helping a blighted area attempt to improve test scores.

Teach for America will no doubt have a base of operations in the lovely hamlet of Newark.

That $100 million could go toward a suburban school in Birmingham, Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Chicago, Nashville and be utilized to produce rigorous course loads for the best and brightest.

Instead, large amounts of cash are used to try and uplift every heart and fill every brain with knowledge, in a failed attempt to bridge the racial gap in education.

That task is similar to counting every individual piece of sand at the beach.

The rot and stench is so deep in every sector of American life, we become oblivious to it, not even noticing it is there.

Evil is so pervasive, we hardly notice it anymore...

The only positive news to come out of Newark in the past 40 years was the murder free month that that city entertained back in April...

Don said...

From Desiree: Okay, since you are lumping all blacks together, please explain why there are so many successful blacks?...Are you serious?. Do you REALLY want to go there?

No one denies that there is a "talented tenth" of the black population. Their prosperity & education though is a PRODUCT of the European lexicon (the university)...Also an enormous amount of black "success" (& why they are in the middle class) is the product of our government creating "works projects" for blacks (post office, TSA, RTA's, city/state council groups, et.al) all WAY over represented with blacks

You Have to know (well maybe you don't) that if it were not for our insane gov. largesse that blacks would be in no where near where they are now!... Lets let our sytem TRUELY account for ability & ability only!. No quotas, no set asides, no AA, no state/federal funding for HBC's, no head start...Just compete on an even playing field like everyone else & then let's see how you fare!?. I know you will say that "the man" keeps your people down. Well go to any African land where none of these programs exist , then your people can start anew.

Oh & the whole "africa was a victim of European colonialism" bit is getting really old!. Ummm, so were Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Argentina & many others that are wealthy & stable (& many that now have booming economies-Vietnam, India, Indonesia, etc)...I have a proposal to you. Since you claim that blacks are just as capable as whites, here is my proposal:

*I CHALLENGE all the black nations (& peoples wherever) to work together to improve their plight. To do so WITHOUT the help of the white man. To feed YOURSELVES with your own efforts. To create stable & properous societies from your own TALENTS....Lets SEE if any black land can create an economy that can compete on the world stage (not just as a source of raw materials)...Lets see if ANY black nation(s), people(s), can imagine, design & build anything that we would call an advanced device. A car, an airplane, a television, a telephone, etc, etc. Not without the help of the white man (or the Asian man) but on your OWN accord!!. That YOU create!...I myself know that you are incapable of such things, it's just not within your peoples abilities.

You see Desiree & her ilk have a mental disconnect. They hate the white race but LOVE the white mans money & his technology. She & her kind probably never even think that the computer she types on, the television she watches, the car she drives, the airplane she flies in, the refridgerator that keeps her food fresh. Amoung COUNTLESS other inventions that she & her kind enjoy (not to mention the DEMOCRACY) that allows her to spew her inane drivel...Are all, ALL the product of the European mind!....Maybe THAT is the source of their hatred?!!!.

John T. said...

I love it when black apologists like Desiree come along with it's "whitey's fault" logic. This is precisely why their condition will never change. Fail to diagnose the cause, fail to find the cure.

I am not totally on board with the biological explanation however. I believe that culture is mostly to blame, and with that said it is obvious that a good many blacks perpetuate a poisonous culture. The poisonous culture of the victim/loser. In fairness I will add that whites are doing a good bit of this to themselves currently as well, albeit in different ways.
Look at the Detroit Lions for example. #1 draft picks year after year, but it is an organization that is infected with a loser culture.
The "we be victims" blacks are no different. How many successful blacks outside of academia, sports, or the peacock pulpit possess the "victim" mindset? Tough to think of any isn't it Desiree?

I also have to laugh at the notion of blacks being superior at all sports except for swimming and here we see Desiree's short sightedness is full bloom. She gladly offers up a nature over nurture explanation here without hesitation. The truth is something different, at least in part. Sports "dominated" by blacks tend to be speed related and that is where it ends. How many blacks were on the world cup winning team vs. how many competed?
How many of raw strength related events even have blacks competing in them? What about fine motor skill events? In the nearly century long tenure of the NFL how many black quarterbacks have won the biggest prize of all? (Answer 1, and that team featured a white quarterback for most of the season.) But even with this information available I am not willing to go out on the limb to say that whites are blessed with some biological advantage, but I offer again the cultural explanation. Cultural relevance of sport seems to be the difference.
How many great black American distance runners are there? How many even try those events? Yet two or three countries have routinely produced those few blacks that do excell, namely Kenya and Ethiopia. Again this speaks to the cultral relevance of sport and the subseqent high levels of achievement.
(And by the way per capita, Samoans beat blacks and whites for representation in American football for anybody interested.)

That same cultural relevance plays into low academic acheivement. It has been alleged by some leftists like Native American activist Russell Means, and assorted afrocentrics, that their specific races do not respond well to the format of "white" education where students must sit attentively and absorb information. There may be something to that. But if so then why on earth do they insist on being included with whites within that very educational system?

The big picture is that nobody has any desire to "keep the darkies down" so much as they just want to be apart from them. If Desiree would just convince her superior people to depart from our environment I am sure they will flourish on their own, right?
So how about it Desiree, up for some voluntary segregation?

@ Don:

No one denies that there is a "talented tenth" of the black population. Their prosperity & education though is a PRODUCT of the European lexicon (the university)...Also an enormous amount of black "success" (& why they are in the middle class) is the product of our government creating "works projects" for blacks

Talented tenth? Okay... whatever.

Once again, Don, you've unintentionally proved my point: if there is equality of opportunity--something that was unheard of for the majority of the time blacks lived in the US--EVERYONE can succeed! Blacks and the underclass traditionally had no access to opportunities and resources. You call it gov't handouts but, in reality, handouts are needed until society is equal. not Harrison Bergeron equality; just equality of opportunity, not equality of results.

I guarantee if we could COMPLETELY ELIMINATE inequality of opportunity (on an economic level and sociological level), blacks and whites would be performing equally. I consistently overachieve in comparison to my white, middle-class counterparts, because I am from an equal background with like opportunities (save the social benefits of having white skin).

You know, Whitey wants to eliminate programs--"handouts"--that have made progress in equalizing society because he doesn't like competition; he doesn't want equality because it destroys the de facto caste system in the US. All of these programs are nothing more than providing opportunity to disadvantaged groups. Stop fucking attacking them! It is wrong!

Until we have true equality (of opportunity, not results, mind you), we cannot abandon these efforts. We just need to work harder with a positive attitude.

I'll quote (or misquote) MLK, jr.: 'You cannot tell a man to lift himself up by his bootstraps if he doesn't have any boots."

My belief is simple: if a person is given all the opportunity in the world (or just equal opportunity as the those from the dominant paradigm) and he still FAILS, then he himself is the cause. But, until then, you cannot make a qualitative assumption that it is blackness that equals failure. We do not have equality!

Africa was colonized and brutalized worse than the nations mentioned, Don, simply because she has more resources and is of higher quality. Africa has always been Whitey's toilet in which he shits and woman in which he rapes. No comparison. That continent is still reeling and I don't know if she can ever be healed because her rape is still continued to this day!

I don't hate white people, BTW. I hate racism, elitism, stereotyping, and ignorance.

You are right blacks are not equal. Probably never will be because there are biological differences in all races as a group not to mention cultures but unlike 100 years ago when even under Jim Crow etc they could and did make something of themselves at least a fair portion of them did. Today however the overwhelming majority just wallow in victimization and self pity but as one of your brethren stated not too long ago cry me a river. Most have plenty of opportunity but they either chose not to 'act white' or don't want to work that hard especially when the man owes me. Blacks would have nothing if they didn't have excuses. They are NEVER responsible for anything they do. Of course you could make a difference as a group but you also have liberal whites that largely patronize you, pat you on the head and agree with you that the evil white man is responsible for all your troubles.

More Kentucky schools failing to meet No Child Left Behind goals

http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20100922/NEWS0105/309230026/1008/NEWS01/2010+Kentucky+test+scores++More+schools+failing+to+meet+No+Child+Left+Behind+goals

Many schools are falling short because they can't meet the testing standards among their minority, low-income, learning-disabled or limited-English students. If even one group should fail to meet the reading or math goals, then the school is judged to be failing, which Holliday says “isn't fair.”

This is why people like you piss me off.Your personally belief is based on zero fact.

"Africa was colonized and brutalized worse than the nations mentioned, Don, simply because she has more resources and is of higher quality. Africa has always been Whitey's toilet in which he shits and woman in which he rapes. No comparison. That continent is still reeling and I don't know if she can ever be healed because her rape is still continued to this day!"

Why, then, is Africa poor? For anyone who has looked into the question, there seems to be little doubt that Africans have brought misery upon themselves. Whether it be in Africa, Haiti, or Washington (DC), Africans show little evidence of an ability to organize and run a modern economy. Just as blacks have made wastelands of those parts of the United States in which they are a majority and over which they exercise authority, so have Africans desolated a continent bursting with riches.

Of course, it is not permissible to conclude that this is because of natural, genetic handicaps from which blacks suffer, so anti-white arguments inevitably rush in to fill the explanatory void. Blacks the world over, whether they live only among themselves or among people of other races, are said to lead lives of failure and misery only because whites have oppressed them in the past and continue to oppress them in the present. It makes no difference that this explanation falls apart under scrutiny; it is the only one that is permitted because the alternative does not conform to current political dogma.

There can be no pleasure in saying so, but the facts point to one conclusion. Whether in Africa or America, Haiti or Great Britain, blacks are poor because they are, for the most part, incapable of lifting themselves from poverty. Africa is poor, just as Harlem is poor, because it is populated by Africans. AR

"I don't hate white people, BTW. I hate racism, elitism, stereotyping, and ignorance."

You make it sound like whites are the root of all evil with slavery,colonization, and oppressin' minorities.It's okay to bash SBPDL but not White Watch.

When a black tells you you're being racist, or that we can all get along if only whites would deal with them fairly, remember these images.

"By the way, as much as Whitey wants to disregard Egypt as Africa's Daughter and claim her as their own, it was a black civilization. What about Great Zimbabwe? Jesus Christ, just be quiet now!"

For anyone who wants to circulate fables about the racial makeup of an ancient people, the Egyptians are perhaps the worst choice. The most obvious inconvenience is the existence of mummies; it is hard to dispute the race of a corpse that is so well preserved its eyelashes can be counted. As the book "Race in Ancient Egypt & the Old Testament" shows, visual inspection, anthropometric measurement, and DNA analysis leave no doubt that the ancient Egyptians were Mediterranid Caucasoids — as are the majority of modern Egyptians. Ramses II, the pharaoh who persecuted the children of Israel, still has the sharp features of his people and the thin, straight hair typical of whites. He was probably a red head.

Notice how you say 'African civilizations'.? As if blacks are from NORTH Africa. Common ruse among black defenders.

Moroccans are not black, Libyans are not black, Saudi Arabians are not black, and neither are Egyptians. You can not claim the achievements of those people as belonging to blacks simply because they reside and have inhabited the northern continent of Africa.

@ Anon, 11:21

Superb insight sir.

It TRUELY astounds me that any black (or anyone for that matter) buys into the "Egyptians were black" nonsense. All one has to do is look at the painting & sculpture of the Egyptians themselves to see that they were cleary Medeterranian Caucasians. Egypts old kingdom (2686-2181bce-Egypts "golden age"-when the pyramids/sphinx were built) where the most telling. ALL of the artwork clearly depicts Caucasians (before mesegination started to take its toll from imported slaves). All of the sculpture shows clear Caucasian features. High foreheads, thin noses, deep set eyes, fine hair & a complete lack of prognathism (the protruding lower face/jaw line that negro's have). The paintings & sculptures (all their sculptures were brightly painted-some still exists with paint intact!) always depict women with fair skin & men with ruddy/reddish skin.

Yes Ramses II-DID have thin/fine RED hair (check out photos from the Egyptian museum web site!) . Also ALL old/middle kingdom mummies are Caucasian (The morphology of the skull & the grain of the hair proves it-ANY 1st year student of anatomy-forensics can distinguish the skull of a negro from a Caucasian!). Also recent DNA scans of old/middle kingdom mummies proves that they are all of the R1a/b haplogroup. The peoples alive today that they are most genetically related to would be the Welsh, Basques & Illrylians (Albanians) in Europe & the Druse of Lebanon & Syria.

Desiree, whites don't like handouts because we are tired of paying to feed ungrateful and disrespectful blacks. My husband works 10 hours a day so that 40% of his income can feed, clothe, educate, and house ungrateful blacks. That money we can not save for our children's education and to pay our mortgage. I am not afraid of any competition from blacks, there is no such competition. White people know the deal, and we are all fed up, even the DWLs, only they are afraid to say so.

Every time a black woman signs up to get on the rolls, she should be required to:

1. take a shot in the arm to prevent future accidental pregnancies and
2. sit through a PowerPoint presentation about who is paying her rent which allows her to sit on the couch, smoke crack, and watch satellite Dish TV
3. Meet her white tax-paying sponsors and provide a progress report to them in person each month until she drags her ass out to get a job and
4. volunteer to pick up trash blowing along the highway until she finds employment

Checkmate. You didn't address things in the first comment and didn't address them in the follow up. You lose. Game over.

You know, it has nothing to do with victimhood. What I say is the truth: America is unequal and will continue to be unequal until people realize everyone needs access to resources and opportunities. Until then, we will continue in an economic caste system, with an underclass and elites.

Not a difficult concept. Jeez, how quickly one gives up when their argument turns to shit! *laughs maniacally*

By the way, continue in your fantasy of Egyptians being Caucasoid. Yeah, it's a fantasy, pal. There were no whites/whitish people native to Egypt when she was flourishing. Also, indigenous Egyptians (not the ones from the Middle East, who are essentially Arabs) look like African Americans. Blacks.

'Mediterranean Caucasians'? OMG, I just split my side! I can't believe you went there! I could have bought Arabs because at least they reside in Egypt, but Whitey? LMBAO! Jesus Christ...

SBPDL:

That $100 million could go toward a suburban school in Birmingham, Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Chicago, Nashville and be utilized to produce rigorous course loads for the best and brightest.

First of all, he can donate money wherever he'd like.

But that's beside the point.

How you can even type such offensive BS is beyond me. Why give even more funds to schools that are in suburbs already funded with the property taxes from nice, expensive houses? You may say the money would be more well-spent but that's just a bias.

I'll quote Tupac: 'Just because you're in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow.'

That's the heart of the issue. Most of us have been conditioned by the dominant paradigm to think people who are not in our milieu--economically and racially--are less than and less deserving. Bullshit. I don't buy that.

How do we know little Keisha or Antwon are going to be 'failures'? Because they live in poverty? How will we ever know until we give these types of children the opportunity to develop their potential?

I think it's great he's donating to an underprivileged district. It's brilliant and I'd do it, too. If given the tools and the guidance, anyone can succeed. You act as if these kids were born wanting to be unsuccessful and unproductive. They just haven't had the right motivators. Their parents may be always working and too tired to interact; they may have defeatist attitudes and project them onto their children because they themselves have become cynical.

A relative of my stepdad's did a dissertation to receive her Ph.D. on what basically were the motivators and obstacles when it came to educating black males. From her case studies, negative interactions with white teachers was demonstrated to be an obstacle. I guess I have to agree: many white teachers, and I know this all too well from personal experience, come at black students in a completely different way than they do white students. They assume you will do less well and are fucking surprised when you outshine everyone else! I don't know how many teachers and professors have told me 'Desiree, you are so intelligent' or 'Desiree, you are amazing student'. Sometimes I wonder about their motivations.

A motivator, as demonstrated from her research, was having people who believed in them, their education, and their potential. Something I had growing up, which is why my dreams have always been 'sky's the limit'. My mother, who graduated from Stanford, had that sort of support when she grew up.

I know I went on a tangent but I'll bring you to my point about Facebook guy's money:

That money being given to Newark schools could brig about opportunities for many poor and over-looked children. If they don't have motivators at home, they will be able to have it at schools. For example, when in high school, so many times we never had the proper materials to do the labs that were created by instructors teaching at well to do schools. So, the lab was never fun. However, when all of the materials and specimens were there and everything was at one's fingertips, I was much more energized to do the labs. I think that's the same with schools. If these children have the materials, resources, and motivators who believe in their education, they can succeed.

Why give it to suburban schools? I'm not saying suburban schools couldn't use the money but it wouldn't be the first place I'd give it to. That would just be furthering the whole haves and have-nots dichotomy. We don't need more elites! We need to move towards equality!

This is not even a race issue. This is a class issue! You know, you talk about evil but it is downright eveil that in this country, after the civil rights movements, women's lib, communist/radical awakenings, arbitrary class distinctions still exist. That's what's evil.

First of all, most people on welfare work. Anything stated otherwise is, at best, an exception to the rule. These people just don't make enough money to survive on their own.

Also, many, if not the majority, of people on welfare and assistance are whites. Don't worry so much: the money you don't even miss until it really, really, REALLY matters is feeding, clothing, educating, and housing whites, mostly.

Lastly, no one is smoking crack, idiot. Thanks for that Ronald Reagan flashback, lady!

Majority of modern Egyptians look like Ethiopians and African Americans. Those known as Egyptian are simply Arab extracts living in a black country.

Mediterranean Caucasoids is a stretch.

There is reason why many in the current Egyptian government (Arab-ran) don't want visitors to stray from the typical tourist-y path of seeing the Sphinx and seeing the Pyramids. It is because many less well-known but equally ancient works of art depict ancient Egyptians with black skin. Cover up, of course. If anything outside of the accepted drivel was shown, their could be a problem. As is demonstrated with whites in this country, no one--which is why brutality is covered up--wants to pay for the sins of their forebears. When truth is exposed, it is then, and only then, a revolution take place. The Arab government doesn't want that, seeing they are in the racial minority...

Proof (again) from Don: Yes Ramses II-DID have thin/fine RED hair (check out photos from the Egyptian museum web site!) .

Arab Egyptians are nothing more than the progeny of conquerors and occupiers. They are not indigenous, nor are the individuals who inhabit other No. African countries. They are from the Middle East.

By the way, Don talked about prognathism but not all blacks have that. Apes do, though, which we are not. If you even look at the Sphinx (nose mysteriously absent) and it's bone structure, it's clear the person is black. All of the planes on that face I see in black people and Africans all the time. Look at it harder next time. That is a black face; BLACK! --Captain Obvious

Bone structure means nothing, although I've read that ancient Egyptians had what they call 'super-negroid' skeletons, whatever the hell that is. When it comes to face and skull, I've seen blacks and Asians who look identical. Nose, cheekbones, mouth, epicanthal folds in the eyes. Look at the Bushmen and Khoisan of SOuthern Africa (descendant of the first blacks).

Everything is fluid... but the Sphinx is clearly black.

The irony of the above statement is ASTOUNDING! That all of you can't see it makes it a riot! LMBAO! The only reason Whitey wants to claim Egypt is because she predates white historical achievement. When Egypt was flourishing, Whitey was in today's Ireland and Great Britain worshipping trees and pushing rocks together in a circle (LOL).

Whitey can't have anyone be better than him. Thus the debate over Egypt was born in the 1800s by Europeans.

I mean, I know many are not fond of conspiracy theories but I don't think this Egypt thing is rocket science.

Please look at the historical record of the Euro colonizers/conquerors. Those bastards burned colored cities to the ground after they took what they wanted. They pillaged and raped. They obliterated entire peoples.

Stealing the history of Africa and her daughter, Egypt, from blacks is almost tawdry when you look at the record... expected and completely within character, of course, but just tawdry...

With a strong history of genocide and pillaging under his belt, you'd think Whitey wouldn't resort to this kind of 'taking candy from a baby' foolishness.

But never doubt how low he'll go: if he can take the last remnant of culture from a PoC for himself, he'll do it. As per the record.....

Accepting welfare benefits from the government as a your career, and then passing that family value along to your kids IS voluntary slavery. So, as taxpayers, I guess we are slave owners. Right? That makes sense, thanks for pointing that out.

Poor, poor black victicrats. They really, really do want to be a part of working America, they just keep bumping their heads on that white ceiling. They are fighting in the streets right now for those jobs, risking everything to get out there and contribute to our economy. You must be nuts. It is so much easier to get that welfare check and move your drug-dealer boyfriend in to cover the rest. Why work?

Disrespectful because there is never a "thank you, American taxpayer, I promise I will pay this all back when I get my shit together in a few years". Disrespectful is purchasing Doritos, corn dogs, and red pop for your children with your EBT card. Disrespectful by swiping your EBT card while wearing a fabulous fur coat and false eyelashes and talking on your rhinestone studded pink cell phone with the purchased ring tone. Disrespectful by allowing the grass to grow over 4 feet high in your section 8 house in the suburbs. Should I go on, or do you get it now?

@ Lily White:

My mother works for the Nevada Welfare Division here in my good city of Las Vegas. This is where I get my information on ACTUAL welfare recipients.

Many of them are white, and most of these whites feel entitled to assistance. The media only harps on about black and colored recipients because most of them are located in urban centers where populations of colored individuals are much higher than in rural settings, where most of the residents are poor white trash. I know you'd prefer to be charitable to your own but, hate to break it to you, sister, they are the same as the other, just different skin color. If you prefer them, it's just because you are a racist.

No one is sweating, Lily. How can I sweat if your entire argument is based upon stereotypes and typical 'hey, I'm white and I'm on top' bullshit? Ha, no...

I like your new list. The snack and soda industries target the poor so you have some nerve bashing the food that the poor would purchase in order to make their benefits last longer. As for lashes and furs, it is true, Lily: many poor individuals do not make wise decisions. It is always want over need. But they do not know any better. They need to be taught life skills, not downed by elites and middle class assholes.

No, as per anecdotal evidence, there are people who are genuinely lazy and genuinely fuck-ups. I'd be doing a whitewash if I didn't admit that. But to want to tear down the whole welfare system because of 1 in 5 recipients are liars? Uh...no...

Yeah, totally a joke about the crack, Lily. I'll lighten up when you give up the Reagan-era stereotypes. 'Welfare queen', LOL. Say hi to him for me; bring water, I here it gets hot!

Your not fond of "conspiracy theories".This comin' from a person who says whitey is "Stealing the history of Africa and her daughter, Egypt, from blacks".Your a psychiatrist bitch not a historian.You must suck at your job.I can only imagine how you treat your white patients.

Whereas I posted facts from "Race in Ancient Egypt & the Old Testament" that clearly state: "For anyone who wants to circulate fables about the racial makeup of an ancient people, the Egyptians are perhaps the worst choice. " It says that in the book. It's absolutely ludicrous for me to take your 'guess' over scholars. You look like a damn fool for trying to pass off your guess as a fact. But that is typical of blackies, you feel that you are so right that you feel justified in 'adjusting' and 'modifying' information to make it fit into your unrealistic opinions about blackies.

And just to add insult to injury.

The authors explain that modern Egyptians are, in fact, somewhat darker than the ancients. Under the more recent universalistic influence of Islam, Egyptians intermarried with other populations more readily than when they followed the more exclusionist teachings of Egyptian religion. Today, the people most representative of the racial type of the pyramid builders are Coptic Christians. They have been considerably more traditionalist than Muslims, retaining aspects of the ancient Egyptian language in their rituals and refraining from marriage with outsiders.

Well-preserved corpses are not always the best source of information about the races of Old Testament peoples. The authors explain that the artists of ancient Egypt made thousands of bas relief carvings, wall paintings, and decorative objects that leave an accurate visual record of the races with which they had contact.

From Greeks to Gergashites, Egyptian artists drew their subjects from life and carefully noted racial differences, in both skin color and facial features. The only exception is the depiction of the eyes which, for unknown reasons, Egyptians always drew in the same stylized fashion no matter what the subject’s race. This book contains many illustrations that demonstrate clear racial distinctions in art.

Desiree if you believe that racist whitey is "Stealing the history of Africa and her daughter, Egypt".What other crap do you believe.Does the government deliberately supply dope and guns to black neighborhoods so blacks will take drugs and kill each other? Did whites invent AIDS as a way to get rid of blacks? Before the white man arrived, did African blacks have a high level of scientific knowledge?Were Africans the first people to discover America?

The "bad teacher myth" is just that: a myth designed to pass the failure buck.

It is perpetuated to explain away poor minority performance and increasingly dumbed down/ autistic/ADHD/ poor family home environment student performance.

Academic superstars and normatively smart kids all manage to do just fine with the antural mix of good and bad teachers that every one of us has had through school. They somehow manage to do fine or better than fine despite the teacher. The good teachers are a treat, but tend to be few in-between. The kids do fine anyway because they are intelligent, they work hard, and they learn the material from the written sources provided. They are intelligent enough to learn, synthesize, and regurgitate the material on tests.

Here's the reality of high student performance: you don't need the G-d teacher to do well unless he/she is testing on material that is outside of the written materials given or if he/she can't teach basic reading and writing in the lower grades.

No normatively smart student does well or poorly based on the "quality of the teacher". If that were true, every single students grades would vary wildly based on who taught each of the 5-7 individual classes that the student has in every year until they graduate.

Academically normal kids learn the material from the books and other materials that he or she is provided with.

This "fire bad teachers" fad is sad, sorry excuses being made for kids who can;t perform. Sure, fire a teacher who is exceptionally and belligerently bad, but that's not what we're talking about here, is it? We're talking about firing teachers who get students who can;t perform despite being provided with adequate materials to learn the subject matter.
