Quote:“When are we going to address the elephant in the room? When will there be an honest conversation about the poverty, racism and inequality that hinders the delivery of a quality education product in our school system?” Lewis asked the decidedly upscale audience.

“When will we address the fact that rich, white people, think they know what’s in the best interest of children of African Americans and Latinos—no matter what the parent’s income or education level,” she said, according to SubstanceNews.net.

Quote:After blaming the district’s problems on white people and literally calling for billions in new taxes, Lewis pushed back against perceptions she’s a far-left extremist.

“There is nothing radical about me other than I want each and every student in Chicago to get the best education we have to offer–an equal education,” Lewis declared.

My 2 cents..

Look at the end of the day 9/10ths of the problems in the AA communi9ty can be tied to the break up of the Family. No amount of money from "rich white people" is going to fix that.

If by "rich, white people" she meant Lyndon Johnson, she may have a point.

Or Arne Duncan or Rahm Emmanuel.

Look, she wants to do it on her own, more power to her. But as just as she slams involvement of "rich white people" she's quick to forcibly take their money.

This is the same pattern that happened in every major city in the US in the 1960s. Detroit is archetype for the result.

I think she was talking about rich, white, abortion doctors.

During her tenure as union head, Lewis has blamed Chicago Public Schools’ problems on Mayor Rahm Emanuel, charter schools, standardized tests, bankers, venture capitalists, a lack of funding and “a culture of fear.”

Sounds as if she needs some rich white people to explain to her why their stuff stinks before she adds blame to dinosaurs, climate change, and measles to her litany of made up reasons. Would be accurate though to add herself.

Quote:“When will we address the fact that rich, white people, think they know what’s in the best interest of children of African Americans and Latinos ...".

Taken by itself, that's probably the most unintentionally libertarian/anti-big government statement I've read in a while.

In other words, Chicago would be better if all the rich, white people left the city. Fine by me, if they are smart they should. Let Oprah solve all the city's ills.

The left is convinced that the right is racist. That every single person on the right is racist. They are convinced of this.

That if you do not agree with them, you must be racist. White people to some extent beleive that because they are white they are racist and must spend their lives proving they are not racist.

I think the left is as racist as any segment we have ever had in this country.

Yes, plus you will never convince me that nonwhites should absolved of moral responsibility for their racial prejudices.

When you have no reason, have lost the debate, and all else fails play the race card.

Minorities lost the race issue when they vote 94% to 98% for a particular candidate.
None would ever receive such a high percentage except by being race based.

1. Are there no black leaders in Shitcago?

2. Are white people responsible for the high out of wedlock births in the black community?

3. Can she provide black role models and examples for Shitcago to follow so they don't have to rely on the white man.

All those problems are whitey's fault. Have you no sense of history?

Blacks are by and large more racist than any other group. FACT.

She just wants more money to control. If someone purposed more money only if it goes to vouchers that parents can use to send their kids on the school of the parents choice, I don't think she would be to keen on that idea.
