Racism at its finest
Jessie Jack@$$ at his finest
Quote:One hundred and fifty years ago today, the Civil War began, the savage struggle over whether America would be a land of freedom or of slavery. Americans suffered more loss of life than in World War I and World War II combined. Slavery was ended, but racial inequity was not. In the South, denial that slavery was the root cause of the secession and war began immediately after the Confederacy’s surrender.
And that denial of reality corrodes our politics to this day.
Hmmm... maybe us whitey's should demand a recount cuz last I checked the south helped Barry win the democrat primary and I do believe Barry carried NC which had not went democrat in decades.
Quote:To this day, African Americans are last hired and first fired. To this day, African-American children attend racially segregated public schools, often suffering from savage inequality in funding and in skilled teachers. To this day, African Americans must struggle with a system of criminal injustice that makes them more likely than whites to be stopped, more likely to be searched if stopped, more likely to be arrested, more likely to be imprisoned for the same crimes.
Wow! the Mecklenburg NC school system could save millions if they cut their funding to the inequality levels Jessie Jack@$$ talks about. Since most "economically disadvantaged" schools get a much higher funding rate per student that the affluent ones.
Quote:America is a more unequal country, with more children in poverty and more citizens without health care than any other industrial country. There is little doubt that were Americans of one race rather than a melting pot, had we not been stained by racial slavery and segregation, we would do far more to ensure every child a healthy and fair start in life.
Here's and idea, Jessie Jack@$$, if it is so effing bad in America, why don't you pack up and move to Libya.
