La Shawn Barber takes notice of 'white flight' in a Texas school district and notes the following:
If racism is holding blacks down, as Jesse Jackson would argue, shouldn’t the absence of “racist” whites in a school district (no white students or staff) improve the performance of black students? Research a few predominantly black school districts and let me know what you find.Geez almighty: when is this 'racism!!!' crap gonna stop!?!Start with the predominantly black, heavily-funded government school system in our nation’s capital. [subliminal message: Homeschool your kids!]
To me, it seems like those that scream 'racism!!!' and demand more and more concessions in the name of 'equality' are showing that they themselves are the impediment and not the victims.
Sometimes racism does exist, but the example to which you point is the curse of egalitarianism. Equality of opportunity is the goal. Pure equality can only be achieved through dilution. Dilution destroys excellence. Loss of excellence leads to lower productivity. Lower productivity leads to poverty. What was the subject again?
