Screw blacks! I'm sick and tired of them bitching. And screw the First Lady. This country has given her every damn thing she's wanted including her $2000 manolo shoes or whatever the hell her snobby arse wears. America has always been a work in progress and we've always fought the good fight and struggle is what we are all about. We've never been perfect that's for sure......but no country has. History is relative to the times. Native Americans had it JUST as bad if not WORSE than blacks. Blacks can f'k off back to Africa if they want to ......i.e. they still have their country. Native Americans HAVE NOTHING! There are thousands of black millionaires in this country.........thousdands of black millionaire athletes, celebrities, etc. Look at Tiger Woods! Or is he too Uncle Tom for blacks? LOL.......Blacks give it a damn rest! Name ONE millionaire Native American.........one Native American popular athlete? Celebrity? Business person? The redman is still disenfrachised to this day. Blacks have it pretty damn good in America right now!
The century-old Bangs Avenue School … renamed for President Barack Obama just a year ago … will be closed as a neighborhood school this summer, largely because of a steep slide in the district’s total enrollment the past decade.
If you read down further…
The need to reorganize stems from the low academic achievement and declining enrollment in the district’s schools, she said.
…
The projected savings, he said, was $375,000 the first year from staff reductions, then $759,000 by the second year when the city’s alternative school could be housed at Obama.
By the third year, the savings could be $975,000 when the administrative offices can be moved there and out of the former Asbury Park Press building downtown, where the district pays $15,000 a month to rent space.
So the school is in existence for 100 years – changes its name to Obama Elementary – and it then closes for low enrollment, low performance, and low finances. What a metaphor.
You just can’t make this stuff up.
I'm sure that this has been pointed out but this thread isn't nearly important enough to read through 7 pages.
You are totally making this up

Whether you agree with his policies or not, Obama made history the minute he won the election. Becoming the first US President of color is more than an achievement worthy of a few public schools named after you.
Couldn't it wait a few years? Most namesakes are used once the candidate is wormbait.

I personally don't think it's a good idea to name schools after sitting Presidents. But I didn't make the decision.
