I take note that you completely avoided mentioning anything about the violent riots at UC - Berkeley.

Innocents were attacked, property destroyed all because they hold different opinion.

This speaks for itself where the problem really lies.

There's probably been more reward stepping on the backs of these other 2 groups than anyone else.
The first example the OP gave was Donald Trump. His most infamous remarks are about Mexican rapists. How is that not giving them any "airtime"?

Can she? I haven't a clue, but she is worth a try.

These black and Hispanic high school graduates don't have a chance if they can't read an advertisement to even look for a job. Allowing school educators to graduate minority students, give them a worthless piece of paper, who can't read or do math is racism, in my opinion.

What some people are ignorant of is that racism is a two way street.

What a lot of people are ignorant of is that nationality and ethnic roots are not race.

totally agree on those, except trump.
Some racists like Hillary Clinton get a pass. She is the one who said Robert Byrd who is not just a kkk member, but the grand dragon of kkk, was a man of eloquence and nobility. Racist much?

Oh and her comments about Margaret Sanger, the racist KKK organizer who wanted to bring abortions to the black community in order to exterminate them? She is in awe of her and feels we could all learn a lot from her life. google the negro project.


Oh and the wonderful Mr. Biden said that Obama is an African American who is "clean" and "articulate' . Clean? Realy???


Want to go back? Bull Connor was a democrat. He's the one who fire hosed the kids trying to go to school.


And google what Lyndon Johnson said about "uppity negroes"




That's just the tip of the iceburg.

The District’s most recent graduating class saw 69 percent of seniors earn diplomas within four years, a five-point increase from the previous class. The improvement marks the second year in a row the school system has experienced a significant increase.

At H.D. Woodson High School, for example, 76 percent of its students graduated on time, yet just 1 percent met math standards on national standardized tests linked to the Common Core academic standards. Just 4 percent met reading standards.
Woodson is 99% black, 72% poor and 29% officially designated as special ed. The average black American IQ is 85, so the average for kids in this school is likely well below that. For most of them, Common Core high school math might as well be string theory.

THIS is racism: Lousy teachers who aren't doing their job, dishonest school administrators who tout the improving graduation rates of their mostly black and Hispanic students while their graduates can't read or even count change, and MSM who gleefully announce in Big Headlines....Graduation Rates Climb to All Time High! YEA!
I'd bet most of them can read some and do basic arithmetic. The teachers may or may not be lousy, but the fact that they can't often accomplish the feat of teaching high school level math to <85-IQ kids is no indicator of that either way, and no evidence of racism.

These kids will need a high school diploma to get a job. How would it help to make their graduation dependent on reaching a standard which is, for them, nigh on impossible?
