Racial segregation returns to schools

[the chi]

I am so offended by his post I am quite ready to ban him right now. I have never been so offended by someones post on this board. If it wasnt an abuse of my powers he would be on vacation right now.

You havent seen yelling.

I was born in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma, partially raised there but mostly in Texas, my family is rough, half of them dont half all their teeth, they live in trailers and are often seen on the "Walmart" websites and grow busted old cars on blocks in the middle of their 200 acres while the brand new shiny mud truck with the mudding tires is parked in front of the trailer with the 4 wheeler in the back and the old muscle car in the shed that dont run.

However, I have managed to cultivate a different appearance and speech than the rest of my family, it does not negate where I come from. I love my family and am proud to be a redneck.

I have never met a soul however who was proud to be the N word or called so.

If black kids want to go to white schools then do what every black person who wants to go to a white school does. Roam the streets, play football, and get adopted by white people.

I think a lot of the parents are just running away from bad performance. Black majority schools have a history of having ill performing students. I'm not saying it is race based but culture based. For example President Obama. He's black, smart, and a nerd. Do you think that Obama was never accused of "trying to be white" by accelling in the academics (vs sports)? Get rid of that black culture of "keeping it real" mentallity and white/asian/black/etc parents won't give a crap where their kids go.

But again a private school is the answer. Send your kids where they want to go.

If you actually read the article you'd see that the academic records of both schools are similar.

Impossible.
Its a black school so it must be ghetto with violence and poor performance.

I'm not sure what was wrong with what he said, unless you changed his post.

Don't get offended over the internet. Nobody dies...really. Life is too short.

Minor confusion between slang terms and morally offensive terms.
Redneck being the slang term.

Then you have never been to MLK Blvd.

I see you are proud to be a "redneck". I am a technical redneck because I actually work out in the sun and my neck turns red (do you work outdoors?). But the term "Redneck" is derogatory to many people. It insinuates that they are a lesser people (as you described well in your little hissy fit) and not up to the standards of society. They are considered uneducated, dumb, ignorant, etc. It's the same idea behind the word ni... "N Word" except we haven't had Redneck beat into our heads as the ultimate no-no.

I was showing that if the roles where reversed in your statement then all hell would break loose (which it did and thank you for proving my point). You could have said simply that white families (or people) live in the outskirts of town while black families (or people) generally live in the town and your post would have been well understood.

Instead you wanted to justify why there are black majority schools vs white majority schools but didn't want to come off as a racist due to your white guilt and threw in a token "white rednecks" (why can't there be black rednecks, are you that racist???) to make yourself down with the homies. It's like a white person throwing in "i have a black friend" so that their statement is more justified. By the way, I have a black friend.

Just hush Smittie, you really dont know what you are talking about and putting words in other peoples mouths serves no purpose other than to prove your ignorance.

Keep pushing it...in all the years I've dealt with you guys, you are the only one I've ever considered banning for your racist and inappropriate comment.

I've seen the "N" word used on here before, why would he be the only one you considered banning?

His above post explains why he did it and your reaction proves his point.

Read up on the history of the word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger

I know it is easy to single out Smittie as the racist whipping boy but his logic in this thread is sound.

[the chi]

His was deliberately changed to become highly offensive, racist and ugly. Not the spirit in which it was intended and not appropriate for any forum.

If I see it, it gets changed or deleted dude. End of story.

If it makes you all feel better feel free to poll the mods and see if Im alone in my thinking.

Either way, keep it up and you guys will see censorship like none before. Then you'll have something to bitch about.
