Washington's School Chancellor Hopes Her Tough Methods Will Yield Major Results

Cheddarboy....You just proved my point. You spewed all that racist nonsense and just said you wouldn''t hire a black person but you yell and scream because the black person is not working. That is my point exaxtly! Racism still effects not only blacks but all minorities. Racists like you refuse to give minorities an equal and fair chance.

If you remember in the 90''s when clinton created millions of jobs, gues What, Crime went way down, people went to work and everyone did better. People turn to crime because there are no other options.

When you can''t feed your family because some corporation decided to give your job to china or india, what are you to do? Go to some fast food place and work 60 hours a week and still can''t afford a place to live.

It''s time to wake up!

concorde5 - Why should white business owners have to hire blacks ? There are so many businesses owned by blacks, small percantage compare to white owned businesses but none the less there out there. And guess white, a lot of them don''t hire whites I bet. Reality check it goes both way''s and blacks shouldn''t blame whites for not hiring them. If you own a business, it should be 100% up to you who you hire, you own it. It is not against the law to not like blacks. On a side note, take a look a violent crime statistics, what is it 52% of violent crimes are committed by Blacks but only make up 15% percent of the nation. I wouldn''t take the risk hiring one either. Rasicm isn''t the problem, it''s blacks always bringing it up playing the race card. I find it funny how whites can only be racist to some people. Watch some stand up on BET, see how much they like whites.

Everyone is failing our children. The parents are failing the government is failing and the teachers are failing our children. We send them to schools where they don''t have books, the school is falling apart, heat doesn''t work in the winter, and we put the dumbest college graduates in charge of educating our children and wonder why they can''t learn.

My son goes to a school that is predominantly Black and Hispanic. I had to go to the superintendent to get books for him! They just had class sets of books and sent my son home every evening with homework for Algebra II and Biology, and chemistry with NO BOOKS! Minority schools are underfunded. We fund schools based on property taxes. So if you live in a wealthy area, your child has books, computers, new schools, and good teachers. If you live in a poor area....Well you get the point.

And we wonder why the children aren''t learning. It''s time to wake up and save our children. we need to stop blaming and talking and start doing. Fund the schools fairly, Pay more and get better teachers instead of these idiots who are currently becoming teachers. When I was in college the only people who went into education were the ones who failed something else. We must pay more and get better teachers!

"With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that ***, and all of them are in jail. Brown versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person''s problem. We have got to take the neighborhood back. . . . They are standing on the corner and they can''t speak English."

"People used to be ashamed. . . . [Today] a woman has eight children with eight different ''husbands,'' or men or whatever you call them now."

"We have millionaire football players who can''t read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can''t write two paragraphs."

"We cannot blame white people%u2026"

"People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we''ve got these knuckleheads walking around. . . . The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting."

"I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn''t know that he had a pistol? And where is the father?"

"People putting their clothes on backward: Isn''t that a sign of something gone wrong? . . . People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn''t that a sign of something, or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up? Isn''t it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up . . . and got all type of needles (piercing) going through her body? What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don''t know a . . . thing about Africa."

Keithle1.....You are a racist! You are the problem and you don''t even realize it! You want to blame everything on Black boys but you say nothing to the white business owner or manager who won''t even hire black men. Black men get criticized all the time but I work at a company that won''t hire Blacks or any minority unless they are more qualified than whites. Blacks MUST have a college degree to get hired and ignorant uneducated whites get hired all the time with just a high school diploma.

That is just the tip of the iceberg. Racism still exists and it still holds blacks down in MANY more ways that you will EVER admit. Racism is not the only reason for the problem but it contributes greatly to it. Until you take an honest look at the problem, there will never be a solution.

Good luck chancellor and mayor. No matter what some ignorant fools say, most people don''t want to live in that situation and they are not all bad or hopeless.

When was the last time a black boy (not one born in Africa) was voted valedictorian of any high school in the USA? They do not care.

Your comment borders on being the most ignorant I''ve ever read. Have you checked every high school in America? You, that other fool myopinion1 and people like you are way worse for America than ALL the people you disparage.
