Local SC Superintendent Canned, NAACP Flips Out

IT’S RACIAL, MAN …

Leila Williams – the superintendent at one of South Carolina’s worst government-run school districts – was fired this week, prompting a flood of racially tinged rhetoric and vows from the state’s NAACP to raise holy hell against the elected officials who dismissed her.

Williams – who is black – has run the Colleton County school system since 2009. During that time she’s been caught misusing public funds for personal purposes and hiring felons. Oh, there’s also an ongoing grade tampering scandal … which calls into question the academic gains she frequently touts.

Williams was removed from her post by a 4-3 vote of the Colleton County school board.

That did not sit well with local black leaders …

“We’re not going to sit still and have the superintendent railroaded,” local NAACP leader Jack Lewis – a black pastor – told reporter Drew Tripp of Colleton Today.

Lewis added that the state NAACP would be getting involved and the four board members who voted to terminate Williams’ contract (she’ll get a one-year severance deal worth $130,000) will be “out of office next election.”

“This is more or less a racial issue, and there are some people on the board who feel she is not doing a good job because of personal feelings,” Lewis continued. “Everybody wants to say it’s not racial, but I guarantee you it is racial.”

Sheesh … somebody get Charlie Rangel on the phone.

It is racial simply because every time something doesn’t go the way the NAACP wants it to they scream race. So much of this B/S has divided and destroyed America.

The NAACP needs to die off. They care more about drumming up dollars with “scandals” than they do fighting actual racism or promoting actual progress for minorities.

I swear, actual civil rights heroes must be rolling in their graves from crap like this.

Well, to their credit, Greenville has a Republican mayor that has transformed the downtown into a true urban hub. Sure they have their own issues, but at least they are not being run into the ground by a democrat that thinks he’s King of Columbia.

North of here is McKinney, Texas – that town has a cool retro looking center of town called “the square” – they’ve got fancy restaurants next to holes in the wall, antique shops, pigeons, lots of benches.. and they hold Oktoberfest there.. cheap beer and entertainment… nice.

A couple of towns here are kind of laid back and enjoyable, but Austin is the only really cool place left in the state, it seems like.

Nikki Haley has stated that one bastion of the Democratic Party, unions, “are not welcome in SC”. Who knows, maybe she will now decide that another one of those bastions, the NAACP, is not welcome either.

I despise Unions and do not trust them but there needs to be some form of mediation or course other than quitting for folks who work in the public sector. I find out more and more everyday where owners and other up the ladder folks screw folks down the ladder and those folks have no recourse other than to quit and after they age or hit a certain age they can not do that!

ME TOO! I went to college while working in a distribution warehouse.. El Presidente was the oldest working fork lift operator there when I started… he was still making minimum wage. After the filthy Teamsters union came in, and the truckers supported us… I was making 18 bucks an hour… which was good because my mom was living in the Hub Homes with cockroaches, and needed her son’s extra money for surgeries and better living accommodations.
You might say, I earned a living wage.
Fucking Unions.
My brother was a union steward there.
I remember one union meeting.. they were talking about some compromise or other with management, and I stood up and asked an embarrassing question… I remember to this day that the union representative looked me right in the eye from the stage and said – “shut up and sit down!”
so I did.

1) unions have been veddy, veddy good to me.and my family. I also believe strongly that unions have increased workplace safety, and gained some respect for the working man and his quality of life.. not only for those in unions, but within corporations who see it as a threat and compete to keep it out.

2) “pinche” is one of those cool words like fucking in English that you can use to spice up your insults. It gives the texture of hated worthlessness. Sometimes translated into “petty” or “little”. A Pendejo is a dumbass.

My Granddad had enough help on his farm with my Mom, her brothers and sisters, and all of my cousins. No outside help was needed or gotten. You folks who have experienced any of it know what I’m talking about.
If you grow corn – pick it! If it’s cotton – pick it! Need milk and eggs – down at the barn. Hungry for bacon or pork chops – got a few fat pigs down behind the barn. Need butter – churn it!
Picking cotton, even for a little kid, is a BITCH! I didn’t pick any cotton after my 9th birthday because (yes, I shed tears) I told Granddad that I just didn’t want to do it anymore. But there was plenty else to do.
That farm (with everyone working) fed nine kids, some in-laws, and a mess of cousins. With few exceptions, those who have passed lived into their 80s and 90s. The rest of us are hoping to make it ……

euwe max March 21, 2014 at 6:36 pm

I was a privileged kid in a Mexican town, but my dad took me out to pick cotton for a friend who couldn’t afford to pay. A bunch of people showed up.. .it was only a day, but we all got a shit load of cotton!

But I didn’t have to do it in no got damn re-enactment!

shifty henry March 22, 2014 at 10:43 am

My cousin is telling me that while in high school the first groups of Negroes showed up during picking season. He worked with them to earn extra money, and he says that nobody could pick more in a day than some of them could.

Williams – who is black

Well gee whiz, man, I never would’ve guessed.

As of 2012, Colleton County has a black population of 38.9%, versus the state’s population of 28.0%. If the school board hates black people, they’ve got a serious problem, brah.

Maybe if the NAACP showed evidence of racism, their ire would be understandable. Unfortunately, the facts seem to point to a broken school district barely functioning, and the superintendent has had quite some time to impact that and clearly hasn’t.

The South Carolina Annual School Summary indicated that the entire
school system’s rating for elementary, middle, and high schools acquired
a lower grade for the 2012-2013 year than it had in the 2011-12 year.

http://thecolletonian.com/colleton-county-school-district-gets-d-grade-from-the-state/

There’s an important distinction here. If the firing -was- racist, then the NAACP absolutely would be justified in using every political tool at its disposal to counter the board’s decision.

As it stands, though, there seems to be adequate evidence she wasn’t having a positive effect. Without significant evidence to prove racism, all it is seen as is retaliating against people who dared to fire someone who happened to be black.

The NAACP can do whatever the hell it wants, but we have a right to judge them for what they do.

Would you rather have a school board that would keep someone like that in power for decades, solely under the fear of being labeled as “racist?”

They weren’t hung by Southern Conservatives, they were hung by white segregationist Democrats. You should get a lesson in history before you start spouting off nonsense. Of maybe you’re just another revisionist who wants to associate racism with conservatives.

Public schools are becoming un-usable in some places because the people paying for them have been racially bullied by liberal democrats.

Race-hate is as wrong for Obama bigots as it was for the democrat slave-holders of old. We fought to free them, now we must fight to free ourselves from these ignorant and hideous monsters.

GT. When I read ignorant and hideous monsters, a picture of Nancy Pelosi popped into my mind. Don’t do that. But on a more serious note: w/liberty comes responsibility. For too long the ruling class , both Dims and Reps, have run the govt. like a twelve year old at the mall with daddy’s credit card. Now to add insult to injury if you disagree with our “leader” you don’t do it because of honest disagreement but only because you are a racist. The left, the media, and the politicians sing the same old song to get US to shut up so they can continue to destroy our once great country. The Tea Party has stood up and said “ENOUGH” and we are hit from all sides. The ones screeching the loudest are identifying themselves as the problem.
