And furthermore, something else to look at. There is hypocrisy taking place too. Complaining about others accusing someone of being racist, but then turning around and making assumption about someone else based on their race/ethnicity. No one has make an accusation of racism, but there has been accusation of other things.

You just don't like it when Democrats are exposed to be the hypocrites that they are.

I vote strictly Democrat because I despise the GOP platform.
Then you're just as guilty as the Democrat politicians who insist on keeping Blacks and Hispanics trapped in their abysmally performing and highly segregated public schools, and therefore as dumb and poor as possible.

That's on you. Are you proud of yourself for that?

Or, said persons might not be public about their political views. I am meeting more Black people who are becoming independents as far as politics goes, persons who don't agree with either side.

Others aren't so lucky. Won't you please think about them? ...

Statistic after statistic after statistic doesn't lie. For the academic achievement facts to be as bad as they are, you'd have to either believe Blacks and Hispanics are significantly cognitively inferior to others (they're not), or acknowledge what many of us already know... Democrats deliberately oppress them by insisting they remain trapped in their abysmally performing public schools. Democrats keep as many of them as dumb and poor as possible to guarantee a rather large voter base at the bottom.

Meh...I don't know about all that.

Same here.

I've yet to meet a white man that can oppress me.

I don't know who these blacks are that are being oppressed.

Blind to actual education data and statistics, are you? How convenient.

I posted the data and statistics. It's your choice to ignore them, and betray minority children. That's on you.

You don't know a whole lot apparently but that's no big surprise to anyone.

Since when have black men given a damn about minority children? If black men cared about minority children we wouldn't be dealing with half of the issues we talk about here daily.
