APS doesn't skimp when it comes to spending money.

Further proof that anyone saying 'more money/funds' are needed is clueless. It isn't a monetary issue. Never has been.

don't care what you think. You obviously have a warped sense of being with some of the comments you have made.

Doesnt make it right. I see it as justified. Sucks they got caught. .

This sort of thinking is why the crime rate is higher in black communities, and you really need to stop perpetuating it. You can't indoctrinate an entire race to believe it's okay to lie, cheat, and steal because it's the only way to get opportunities, and then wonder why the homicide, robbery, larceny, and gang participation rates are higher in black neighborhoods. If you tell people that whites get everything easily and blacks have to resort to breaking the law to get the same opportunities that's a huge problem. We should be encouraging working hard in school and at home for your family, not that breaking into a house is "justified" unless you get caught cause of racism.

That is your subjective opinion and coming from someone who doesnt like Black people, I dont take this subjective opinion very personally. Good day sir.

Ah ha, but in MY experience that IS the case. Whites do get things handed to them easily, especially normal white males. Most Black people DO work hard, I know I do at my job. I never said blacks have to break the law to catch up. I said and quote "hustle and bustle" AKA do more things than whites do not have to do. I work in corporate america so I see it everyday. White kid hired because he has just a degree in a field, black girl hired because she has a degree in a field AND can speak well AND had GREAT Grades, black male hired because he has a degree in a field AND can speak well AND has GREAT GRADES AND makes HR feel comfy AND has no jail record. See it everyday where I work. I work for one of the top 4 companies in Atlanta. So Forhall sorry man, but it is what it is. If I was lying and making this stuff up, I would not be getting so many rep points. Dont feel guilty Forhall. This system was in place way before you and I came along. Remember kids key word is "hustle and bustle"

The entire topic is about Race and Money. It started about Race and Money then deflectors tried to user Education as the culprit. So now Education doesnt relate to Race and Money? Very interesting.

No it isnt. You just dont agree, but there is nothing sickening about what I said. I stand by it. Treat people fairly and these issues fade away. Treat people unjust these things will continue.

Well, the city of Atlanta is certainly spending a ton of money on education these days.

But 40 years ago, that wasn't the case.

It's really hard to take you seriously regarding treating people fairly when it comes to race, when you basically advocate against gays and their rights in numerous other threads. If you can't treat people fairly yourself, you shouldn't go on tirades when the same thing happens against your own community.
