I love how most "racists" would be COMPLETELY happy with expelling all blacks (or even more generously, if there was a ghetto ape test, all ghetto ape blacks) to Africa. On the flipside, all these BLM types are constantly calling for white children to be sacrificed, white people enslaved and killed, and our land and country toppled. Even at our most "problematic" we are eternally merciful compared to these animals. And every liberal wants to give them the Keys to the Kingdom.

It is frustrating to be "in power" yet be constantly merciful and egalitarian with our power, all while getting non stop liver punches from every ungrateful minority while they type on our inventions in our clean homes and cities. They should be thanking us every day for not being as brutal as the empires before us. Any other world power with half a brain would have deported them all 200 years ago, or put them to death during the Slave Riots. Not us though, we get to be nice!

Detroit Public Schools issued $200 dollar gift cards to high school students for every TEN DAYS of perfect attendance from Jan 6th to March 21st. The maximum payout during this period was $1000.

Very inspiring to see direly needed public education money going to these future doctors, lawyers and astronauts. I am sure it will buy extracurricularly read books, nice and sensible clothes for summer job interviews, and micron pens.

They had to specify that the gift cards are not exchangeable for cash. Fucking lol.

"qualifying students"

I'm guessing this means "at risk students," and so, the good kids get diddlyfuck and the thugs and tards get rewarded to just show up. That's almost universally how these incentive programs work. Fuck the kids who actually meet standards.

Not that there are probably that many good kids. It is Detroit, after all.

Why would they want to pay the kids who already show up 10 days in a row? They do it of their own accord
I hope we all realize this is not to incentivize the kids to learn, forcing people who don't wanna be at school and would rather be anywhere else isn't gonna make them want to sit down and do work, hell I don't even doubt that there's kids out there who aren't criminals and thugs and simply don't come to school for other reasons like just being antisocial, autistic, struggling with standard teaching methods or inversely being bored of the curriculum bellow their level, disillusioned with the school system or just not wanting to be around criminals and thugs but those types likely either do most of their studying at home or have other plans that don't require standardized schooling. Realistically, they might not even be eligible since those types are most likely to be white
No, putting all the kids who rather be in da hood peddling drugs or destroying property in classrooms, will just bring their wholesome extracurricular activities TO the classroom, and make it harder for the kids who do want to be there to learn in peace
This is about filling up attendance records, making the school appear on paper (to the types of people who only LOOK at papers and not actual results, pencil pushing robots) as if the school is successful and net them more funding

I am so sick of all this flowery dishonest language to describe black people or just generally non white people
>Marginalized
>At risk
>Troubled
Goddamit enough with the pretense that this is about some put down low class of struggling youths that we are extending an olive branch to, just come out and say "Anyone who isn't of European decent" already, no amount of honest prejudice will ever be as downright disgusting as disingenuousness

I'm all for strict enforcement of community ordinances, the problem is that the job of enforcement can attract the worst type of people. ie well....

It is interesting though how she seemingly had a basic understanding of her powers yet didn't seem to understand that people weren't just going to let her bankrupt them and take their homes. I mean what did she think people were going to do?

Also it's kind of funny to me that even with a new black woman heading the HOA they're still holding meetings in the street, she doesn't want her neighbours in her house.

On another note those houses seem nice? There was a trend in the UK a while back of trying to build relatively high spec houses in shitty neighbourhoods (as if that would improve them) I wonder if that was the thinking here. I wonder what the place will look like 10 years from now.

If we're being optimistic? Should only be books, office supplies and food on campus
That would encourage the actually troubled kids, not "troubled" as a euphemism for "black", but rather the ones who are legitimately poor, have tough home lives or some kinda life problem that makes it difficult to study despite them wanting to

But we all know that doesn't bring in the... Target audience, so to say...

Al Sharpton try to stay relevant with his latest pr stunt because he's not happy about DEI rollback.

Target CEO Brian Cornell will meet with the Rev. Al Sharpton this week in New York as the retailer faces calls for a boycott and a slowdown in foot traffic that began after it walked back key diversity, equity and inclusion programs, the civil rights leader told CNBC Wednesday.

The meeting, which Target asked for, comes after some civil rights groups urged consumers not to shop at Target in response to the retailer's decision to cut back on DEI. While Sharpton has not yet called for a boycott of Target, he has supported efforts from others to stop shopping at the retailer's stores.

"You can't have an election come and all of a sudden, change your old positions," said Sharpton. "If an election determines your commitment to fairness then fine, you have a right to withdraw from us, but then we have a right to withdraw from you."

Asians, especially South East Asians, and to a lesser degree Hispanics, do better in school than the (black) "troubled" youth. This conversation on education makes me think of this:

Has anyone bothered to watch the Michelle Obama podcast? (just the first episode, I don't think anyone is insane enough to watch more than that)
It is mind-numbing and boring, but not for the topics of discussion, but rather how she talks about them and what she doesn't say. Almost the entire podcast is dedicate to talking about how she and her brother grew up. It is boring because they talk only about anecdotes, and every time it starts becoming commentary on society, it moves to another innocuous, family-friendly, uncontroversial anecdote.
However, if one strips away the boring, what she basically says is that what helped her succeed were the following
  • A united family, with a father and mother. They lived in what seems an okay neighborhood (?). On Wikipedia, there is this quote as well "She was raised in what she describes as a "conventional" home, with "the mother at home, the father works, you have dinner around the table".
  • Respecting parental authority
  • Her parents, especially mother, really pushed for her to be interested in school and seeing the value of an education.
  • As she got older, she was pushed to having to take responsibility for her academic achievements (ie no coddling or helping her with school things that she could do on her own)
  • Clear separation between children and adults: no parentification, but also no "my mum is my best friend"
I am sure she holds a lot of opinions that would make her a pariah among those who want her to run for president.
I am not expecting positive responses on this forum, but I wanted to share because I thought it was interesting how "based" the implications of all of her anecdotes were, but she couldn't actually say the moral of the examples

Al Sharpton is probably loving the DEI rollbacks, gives him some easy material for his grift.

I WISH these people had the capacity to boycott these places, it would actually make going to these establishments more pleasant.
