That's not how they are selecting the rest of the students being taught there.

The likely comparison is this.

Hand selected rich white kids.

Possibly hand selected poor black kids.

They get the same education and they have the same outcomes.

When my wife gets home I will try to remember to ask her how they select the kids the school is going to sponsor.

A true story from New Orleans during Prohibition:

My old Banker was there at a convention and a party of them went out on the town, one guy having a bottle of expensive, and hard to get bourbon.

They left the bottle on the table when they got up to dance and it was missing when they returned. There was an identical bottle a few tables away, and their host, a native of New Orleans, walked over to that table where the following conversation took place;

Banker: Do you live here in the city?

Bottle thief: Yes sir, I do.

Banker: Did you take that bottle from my table?

Thief: No Sir.

Banker: Have you ever screwed a nigra girl?

Thief: Of course not.

Banker: You lying bastard, I’m taking my whiskey back!

Why not any hand selected poor white kids?

She's home. Hand selected rich white kids. Hand selected poor minority kids. Outcomes essentially equal. She's not part of the selection committee, so she doesn't know any more than that.

It's the classic nature vs nurture argument. This anecdote illustrates the value of nurture.

Pretty easy, work in a correction/law enforcement career with a large population of African Americans, or simply watch the “first 48” on A&E.....

No,..you've got to totally eliminate the hand selected part before you can claim the value of nurture.

Basically, it's just another example of the Social Justice Warrior mentality. Find some high achieving black kids and pay their tuition so diversity can be achieved.

Everybody's some color, whether they are considered colored or not. My wife has never once inferred that her color was better than mine or vice versa. (She did once use our color difference in a pejorative way when she was really drunk and in front of our young boys, and she discovered that she would not be doing that ever again if she wanted to keep me and them around.) I've never felt 'different' because she was with me in public, nor have I noticed any signs that she has felt that way. We're just people. Who cares?

I would have to say that anyone man who doesn't recognize the beauty or attractiveness of a woman, regardless of her skin color, might need to get checked for a gay chromosome or something. And ugly comes in every shade too, so it ain't like we're discriminating.

I'll leave that for you to see if you can come up with an explanation.


Are those poor black kids selected at random or do they have to demonstrate some scholastic achievement in order to qualify for their $18K a year education?



I don't know. I'll try to remember to ask her. I don't think it matters as it relates to the discussion though. If the poster's point that they are inferior as a race, the anecdote pretty much disproves it.


Well, sure it matters. If the poor blacks students are specifically selected as a result of their previous scholastic achievement, it means that they're not a representation of the black population as a whole.



Their white peers are selected for their previous academic achievement. The best of the black race with the best of the white race and outcomes are equal.

New Orleans has some affluent white neighborhoods. There are also affluent blacks in affluent white neighborhoods. Guess what you would see if you compared their kid's academic and professional outcomes.


I've met some really intelligent people who were clueless in a lot of ways so raw intelligence isn't everything by any means and with that said there is some interesting reading on SAT scores here.

I very much agree. The races are different, and have been since the beginning of time. The Black race lived in the confines of Stone Age Africa for thousands of years, while the other races were building civilizations. They had neither the desire, nor the intelligence to bring themselves up to par with the White race. Just look at any densely populated Black area today, and tell me that they are "just like us," because they are not.

I don't hate them, but I know that the majority of them have nothing in common with me, when it comes to the way I see things. The BLM riots, and the support they got from probably at least 95% of the Black population, and the way that Blacks vote, should be enough to tell someone all they need to know. Some of you would absolutely chit a brick if your kid married a diehard liberal, but you're so damn consumed with White guilt that you're afraid to say one negative word about a Black.

All one has to do is to look at present day Africa, and you will see what America would be if Black people were the majority in this country......which, thank the Lord they are not.

Society has made advances in the last "x" years.

One of the indications of those advances, would be the ability of the society to honestly address differences in segments of that society.

Society hasn't made some advances in the last "x" years.

Kudos to Bristoe for bangin' his head gainst the granite liberal whitey wall here on the fire.

Especially since that's what got eyeball launched.

I have a dream that one day the white guilters'd feel guilty bout bein so selectively sanctimonious.

But, I'll probly get shot on a motel balcony, for that comes true.

Props to you Sir, others should try to respect a man's freedom to marry who he chooses....members here forget many are offended with threads like these, and you owe no one here an explanation. A Marine posted earlier about his bride, should we chiit on members of the US military now for their chosen wife ? GTFOH

Im sure all you holier than thou progressives would be just thrilled if your sons got married to a chick like the one here on the bottom. Yeah. Piss down someone elses collar.

I bet you holier than thou types would rather your son brought her home rather than a 5 ft tall 350 lb tat covered blue and pink haired chick with a pound of stainless stuck in her face, but you arent predjudiced, now are you? Ha. GMAFB.

Well, at least now we can figure out why Sweden is in the shape it's in, cant we. It doesnt take a giant mental leap to go from schitt to schatt. whistle
