RACISM IS BEING TAUGHT IN SCHOOL....

I'm not here to argue about racism.  It's here in America, it always HAS been here, and it always WILL be.  No amount of laws or regulation will eradicate it.  In fact, programs like affirmative action only increase racism. It's wrong to give one group of citizens preference over another group because of the color of their skin.  We have LAWS against that.  And as an aside, I think it is an insult to every black student for their own government to think they aren't smart enough to get into college without special 'dispensations'.

Having said that.... our children are being taught racism by public schools...

In a January article in Imprimis (a monthly publication from Hillsdale College) Jason Riley (Wall Street Journal) wrote an article entitled Race Relations and Law Enforcement that is worth your time to read.... the link is below.  If you've ever heard Mr. Riley speak, he is well educated and very eloquent.


In this article, Mr. Riley recounts visiting his sister in Buffalo, NY and chatting with her daughter, his niece, who was in the second grade.
“…..I was asking her about school, her favorite subjects, that sort of thing, when she stopped me and said, “Uncle Jason, why you talk white?” Then she turned to her little friend who was there and said, “Don’t my uncle sound white? Why he tryin’ to sound so smart?”
Riley's question to his sister should have been:  WHO IS TEACHING MY NIECE ENGLISH???

WAR ON WOMEN AND RACISM

Two interesting historical commentaries on a slow news day.

Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) died in 2010.  Byrd “joined the Klan at the ripe young age of 24 — hardly a young’un by today’s standards, much less those of 1944, when Byrd refused to join the military because he might have to serve alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” according to a letter Byrd wrote to Sen. Theodore Bilbo at the height of World War II. [Byrd was the Exalted Cyclops]

Today’s obituaries, however, made little mention of Byrd’s once-deeply held hatred for African Americans.”




On January 10th, 1878, Senator Aaron Sargent (R-CA) introduced the ‘Anthony Amendment’ to the Senate “for a decision on women’s suffrage in the United States. This was the first constitutional amendment on this issue to be brought before Congress…  While it did not pass, it set the precedent for similar legislation to be proposed each year until the 19th Amendment was finally passed [almost 40 years later] in 1919 by both houses. The original text was written by Susan B. Anthony with the help of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.”
