| Multiculturalism in innercity public schools breeds racism |
Excuss me that is not true. Having taught in an innercity school for over 12 years I KNOW the children learn it at HOME and around the neighborhood.
Racism is based on ignorance and fed by power hungry people who are wanting to keep a base of supporters in need. |
I know it is true, it might not be true in YOUR school district, but its true in lots of places....especially in many inner city schools and in many universities.
While there is certainly some truth that kids get this from home as well, many multi-cultural programs breed racism by focusing on the differences between us. Multiculturalism seeks to undermine American culture, the meltingpot, American exceptionalism, and seeks to teach that all cultures are equal, which is simply not the case.
Did you hear the story of the two famous black boxers who decided to have a boxing match in Africa? They studied up on "african culture" in the text books and went to Africa wearing what they were shown as typical African cultural dress.
When they got off the plane they were met by African officials in western suits and a crowd in western clothing, they all looked at the boxers like they were nuts.
Muticulturalism teaches a homogenized and museamized view of other cultures and all too often does not teach the value of our own or the positive impacts of western culture on foriegn culture.
There will be a chapter on multi-culturalism in my upcoming book. I hope that you get a chance to read it.

What is our culture? Since people have been hyphen American "we" have lost our culture. Everyone has their own.
I will never forget what my Grandfather said when I tried asking him about Germany. He said he is an American NOW germany is no longer.
Now it is German-American and celebrate Octoberfest and May Day. That was not taught in schools but the schools were pressured into accepting those beliefs. Now it is standard course of study.

I do believe that you are getting my point.
Even though I am just finishing my new B.A. I am in the process of interviewing several out of the box thinkers who have a PhD's in education for the book. It is about the decline of academic culture.

What do you two think of this?
Currently John McCain leads Barack Obama 50% to 42% by Non-Hispanic white voters.
Barack Obama leads McCain 89% to 2% by Non-Hispanic black voters.
How is this not Block Voting Racism by blacks? |
yes they sure are not including the non-hispanic voters at all....WTF is non-hispanic,is that not any body who is not hispanic?LOL...what if you add in the hispanics then what are the numbers.....this black and white racist thing is ridiculous....Of course some blacks dislike whites just because of skin color just as much as some whites dislike blacks for the same reason....that is not going to change,the world is comming to America.Get used to interacial familes and more people of many different colors running big bussineses,gays will not only be white,and a black man may even be president one day...White will be a minority ,no qquestion about it..in a 50 years the polls may read "non-white hispanic voters"....
Sandhusker go live in a big city,you need to live some kind of adventure..you know nothing of your own country,other then the main street in your little town has parades a couple times a year..get out,go run a bank in new Orleans and see First hand all the so called bad people you talk about on here...your nothing but sour fluff...Stop reading the white man blogs and start venturing out in the world,you complain about so much yet you have never even been in these big cities,little lone lived in one...I just do not understand how guys like you and Aplus can tell others what to do yet neither of you have never done anything but of course preach to others on here.. |
Nice personal attacks, but are you capable of having an adult, substantive conversation?
By the way I love New Orleans, I used to love getting Bananas Foster at Brennans restaurant. When I worked at Ellington Field at LBJ Space Center, I was able to get to New Orleans a few times on the weekends. Houston lacked the coziness of the French Quarter.
Off I-45 Across from Ellington Air Base there is this charming cajun restaurant, fabulous food really. If you ever get out sometime I hope you try it. |
Thats nice, but I was not talking to you,now go away and enjoy your life....

Interesting commentary on the changing world today on the news...
They commented that right now it appears Senator Obama will win Virginia (he's consistently had a 6-7 point lead lately)-- with the irony being that when Obama was born- his parents would not have been allowed to get married in that state because of their laws forbidding interracial marriages.... |
I know all about Plecker's list.
It is socially acceptable for blacks to be racists. Half expected. No other race can do what they currently do.
