Question About Republicans and Racism.

Post Reply New Topic

Racism is saying you know what all white males think.

Racism was those people on the East Coast and West Coast that called me a racist red neck white supremacist as soon as they heard I was from Louisiana.

Those people were predigest about people they had never met.

They also thought Louisiana was in the mountains of Kentucky.

They had been told what to hate, and had no idea what they were getting into.

The Attention Span of a Goldfish fits.

The only thing they hated more than Southerners was Black People.

Somehow it was my fault there were Blacks in Harlem.

Their response to their problem was being insulting and ignorant.

I see nothing has changed.

There are a lot of intolerant, predigest, bigots, they call all Republicans racists.

I know it is hard for a Goldfish, but yelling Racist does not excuse you from thinking.

As for voters, after freeing the Blacks, giving them the vote, women were still excluded, and the main act of freedom that followed was genocide against the Native Americans, putting the survivors in camps, and stealing the inheritance of their children, because you said they were not human.

That is a bit different than saying Blacks were not ready for self government.

Even after the conditions of Black Liberation, we did not kill them, put them in camps, we lived together much like we had before.

It was the Blacks that produced the food for the war, and who were at home protecting the women and children.

After the war we did not exclude the Blacks, Every town had Black sections, Churches, and they were taught the arts of civilization. Education took a hundred years to raise them to a Forth Grade level.

It may sound different today, but during the war on both sides, only 25% of the men could read and write, at a forth grade level.

WWII was total draft. The educational level was half way through the Eighth Grade with a C-.

That is the GED level, and what education was producing in 1963.

School Integration did not improve education. Private schools took the best students and teachers. The level of public education dropped.

Worse, subjects like Geography and History were dropped, and the focus became teaching reading, writing, arithmetic at an Eighth Grade level.

America was not dumb, the world was. We lead the world back then.

The result of Social Engineering through schools, America is now 47th, between Bulgaria and Albania in education.

More than low wages, business has said the went offshore for an educated workforce, something they could not find in America. Our National Education Attainment has not progressed since WWII.

There is not an equal race population in America, the Bible Belt, Black Belt is about 50/50. Most of the North and West, less than 10%. According to Black People, Black students are treated stricter by teachers, punished harder for the same offense, failed more often, and pushed to dropping out. The closer to graduation, the whiter the class.

Universities had to lower their standards because the incoming students were not prepared.

Older educated people say a College Grad now has less education than a High School grad from before WWII.

America does not produce enough people with a Math education to replace our Math Teachers. In most Universities the Math Department is staffed by Arabs, Koreans, Indians, and the same in business, when STEM knowledge is needed.

At my local University, everyone has to pass two Algebra courses. Except education Majors who can take Fun With Numbers, and Middle School Math. A fair number of people cannot get a degree, because they have failed to pass Algebra, and what we are sending to the lower classrooms skipped it.

This is America, Post Social Engineering, to combat Racism. Education was destroyed to reach higher Social Goals?

We had a rising tide, from 25% of males having a Forth Grade education, 1861, to all males having an Eighth Grade Education, WWII. There was not that much difference between Black and White education levels in 1963.

Social Engineering has destroyed education. High School grads have a GED half way through the Eighth Grade with a C- education, and are not prepared for higher education. Union Teachers turn out a minimal product.

The goal of ending racism by having Black and White students in the same room, has ended education, and increased racism.

We did treat Black people like children, guided them to growing up, and like children, they listened because they knew we were doing the best we could. Social Engineering broke up the developed Social Bond, did not deliver, and left a lot of Black people bitter and racist.

In general, we see that the destruction of Public Education was to give an advantage to those who already had advantages, Liberal, Private Education, Northern, getting all the Degrees and good jobs.

There are less jobs, recent grads have a hard time, they had to go in debt to get educated, and it does seem an educated class wants to keep their position, even if it crashes the economy and the country.

The American Dream of rising Education and Income for all was sabotaged by Social Engineering.

I am 70. I do not think our difference of opinion is due to age.

Conservative means keeping what works, that hundred years of progress toward a goal of a better life.

Liberals seem to think that all that is needed is passing a Law, and then everyone will have the benefits they do, or want.

Being born to poor uneducated Black parents in rural Alabama is not the same as being born white middle class in the North.

The South did take an illiterate population and educate them. Schools were paid for by landowners.

Black Universities were set up from 1870, as we needed Black teachers. With all people, some are smarter, and we supported that.

It was a long slow progress, but it was working.

This compares with the genocide of Native Americans, placing survivors on Reservations, without education.

Later it was Boarding Schools where children were taken from their parents, people, forbidden to speak their language, and forced to act white. The Boarding Schools were run by religions. They were taught to be white, where only the teachers and staff were white. Locally, Reservation children were not allowed in White Schools.

The South treated freed slaves better than the North treated free Nations.

The destruction of Public Education in the South did not benefit the South. Boarding Schools did not benefit Native Americans.

Liberal Social Engineering has not worked, it has destroyed a hundred years of Conservative slow progress.

Before Civil Rights, we did not have the percentage of Black males in prison. We had more two parent Black families.
Education levels were rising slowly, income was rising, Black people were not killing Black people.

Now the failure of Liberal Social Engineering is being blamed on Racism, from Southern White Men.

As Malcolm X said, "The chickens will come home to roost."

The Education System has failed. The USA is now 47th.

The Economy has failed. Jobs left in search of an educated workforce.

The Dollar was an ounce of Silver in 1963. Silver is now over $15.

The Social System is a mess, fragmented.

The USA has lost every war since WWII, and we have been in a lot.

The National Debt is out of control.

Recent generations find a much lower level of opportunity.

The Infrastructure is falling apart.

America is looking like Detroit, Saint Louis, Memphis. And a hundred others.

Europe rebuilt after two major wars. China builds new cities connected by high speed rail.

99% of the wealth is controlled by 1% of the people. They fund Liberal causes.

Conservative Constitutionists are not the problem.

It could be argued that we haven't bothered to fight a war since WWII.

We fought many battles, but we half-ass the wars. Because we don't have the stomach for it.
