Just the simple fact that you use one of the most oppressive states in the USA as an example of how certain people behave is atrocious. Maybe if the racist politicians in Alabama didn't take away almost all resources for POC, they would not live in an environment that has nothing for them. Same with Mississippi. Same with Louisiana. Same with South Carolina. Hmmm, something is very similar with all these states. Bottom feeders in economic prosperity, $ spent on education, infrastructure, health care, child care, infant mortality rates, maternal care, etc.Hmmm. Well being the Navy brat and Army combat Vet that I am, having attended large schools in Jacksonville, FL and San Diego, CA I can tell you that the "Melting Pot" schools were better, less violent and actually taught subjects when I was a kid.
Today I have all the reports of race violence in schools and having worked as a correctional officer in IDOC for 20 years (which many black men looked at me as a friend because I did what I could do to help them. Treat black men like you treat any other man and you'll not have a problem), and this problem will continue until serious measures are taken.
With that said I think that you are 180 degrees off of the truth!
Today as a white, conservative, alt-right, gun loving, anti-government, college educated male I can tell ya that there is no f-ing way I would send my children to a city school......... PERIOD! Why subjugate my kids to THAT kind of environment?
I get it when kids get into fights, I had a couple in grade school (Beat the shit out of the kids) but unless you have your head buried in the sand or up your ass, you have watched the videos of "pack" attacks by blacks against whites. Blacks attacking teachers. Both male and female blacks partake in this action. BUT NOT ALL! Would you send your children into that f-ing jungle??? F*ck no you wouldn't!
Ya need to stop with the racist, leftist bullshit that you push and start living life truthfully!
I can say this as well, the black students/athletes at Chatham are respectful and work hard, both in academics and athletics. That's not the same, I'm sure, at Lanphier and Southeast.
I live 15 minutes from Mobile Alabama where my wife (a doctor) works in the OR in 5 hospitals. She has many friends that are black and THEY say the say things I shared in this post. They send their children to predominantly white schools because of the violence in schools.
While we are on this topic and since you open Pandora's box, if you looked up the black on black, black on white, white on white and white on black you will see a great desperacy (a word not used much today) in these rates. Why you ask? I will suggest you look them up. But ya need to focus on the athletic aspect of this forum and not some self-righteous crusade that you have placed yourself on because its friggin sad AF.
Most of the black men I've worked with, managed or led in the Army are just like whites. They work hard, play harder, love, care and have goals and aspirations in life. They don't want anything handed to them.
I have a buddy in Texas whos kid is highly intelligent and earns great grades in school. This kid gets bullied by other blacks and call "uncle Tom" for his success. You don't see this on the news you watch (I NEVER watch any news especially ESPN because they all are race-baiting, leftist beeeotches)! So take off your rosey glasses and actually look at the world you live in. These are not the times of when Martin Luther King JR wanted the black man to have the same things as whites. Today in America, blacks and other minorities are placed above whites and we still have problems. So stop fanning the flames of racism because a good percentage of blacks want to work and have pride in what they do and have.
Also, the fact that you said "Most of the black men I've worked with, managed or led in the Army are just like whites." insinuating that only hard working black men would be a fair comparison to whites.
It seems like you live in an area that suppresses POC and you have not only. taken the pill, you are trying to distribute more. Please leave this message board, find some help, and stay away from youths. You have no business being anywhere near impressionable youths.
