Truth
So true. I feel so sorry for the children that are being educated in South Carolina.
Don’t worry, we have plenty of young people getting a good education, despite FITs attempts to paint all public school children as stupid. I suspect many if not most are smarter than you.
Poverty pimping pays and provides power to people pimping the poor. What else do you need to know?
Spot one. Fits forgot to mention the Dick Harpootlian’s, Jean Toal’s and Sam Tenenbaum’s who run around shouting for equality, then all they want is the power that comes from controlling the un-educated masses. Power. That’s what it’s about. Any legislator who votes for Toal will live to regret it.
Well,yeah.People are people.You don’t need to qualify that noun…

I remember interviewing the President of Benedict College in 1984. We were discussing their budget, which he maintained was not nearly enough. I asked him, that as his college grew in size, how could he justify serving only students of color, and wasn’t that a kind of reverse-racism. He chuckled and said something on the order of, “No, that could never happen, because his people would always need a place to learn.” Now, mind you, that was a huge non sequitur – a leap so fantastic that all I could do at the time was to thank him and leave, before I broke into fits of anger – I was still a polite young man.
What had we fought for? For self-satisfied posturing jesters? Had some risked their lives, and for me – risked jobs – so that these overseers could prostitute themselves at the expense of the people they were supposed to be helping?
The mentality of entitlement was already set, even back then. As time passed, it became obvious that the real world was beginning to challenge this cult of umbrage. I actually fooled myself into thinking that things were getting better between blacks and whites in South Carolina; I really did. What I did not account for was the tenacity of the priests of the cult and their complete dedication to the falsehood that kept them in money and power.
So, now, here we are, fifty years from the “I Have a Dream” speech of MLK. And they were great words. But they have become words, not for heeding, but for calumny and division, for thieving and for indolence.
To paraphrase a scene in the wonderful movie, Gladiator, “MLK had a dream, my friends. This is not it. THIS IS NOT IT!”
Was it MLK’s dream for some to milk the race card forever? If we, the people want to better ourselves than we have to EARN it and it doesn’t matter what color one’s skin happens to be so we need to get over that and work together…….it doesn’t matter to GOD what color one’s skin is as HE loves all his children regardless. Wake Up! America.
