Chicago Public Schools promoted and posted a video that encourages rioting and looting as a way to address black economic hardships with an "All Cops Are Bad" sign in the background.

Nothing but nihilistic victimhood that will likely be a cancer for life to anyone who buys into it.

Nationwide the average black 12th grader reads at the same level as the average white 8th grader.

^That is the biggest reason on why blacks struggle economically and Chicago black students underperform black students nationwide.

Will CPS address the poor reading comprehension skills? This sets up blacks to fail in college and fail at careers.

Well.

As both a CPS graduate and the child of a CPS teacher, I can tell you that CPS has been pretty bad for a long time.

This is nothing new.

Hmmmm...you should probably watch the video and try to hear the message instead of looking for ways to disparage black people. It's super easy to find ways to disparage anyone you want to, but it's a lot harder to understand people, let alone want to understand people. That's where the skill of being a human is. Complaining about people? Pfffft, that's easy.

Just more of the same type of trash you can expect wherever democrats are in charge. They want to keep black people hopeless and feeling like perpetual victims and reliant on government. In return, blacks vote democrat in lockstep. A vicious cycle that will ensure that they are the only minority group that continues to move backwards instead of forward.

The message should be a positive uplifting "you can do this', yet more finger pointing victimhood.
Too bad.

Bull.

It’s an entire video of basically saying that blacks have a right to burn, steal and loot.

It perpetuates the cycle of victimhood.

Part of their narrative is disparaging and complaining about the cops. That's super easy.

Maybe they should seek to understand the cops - since that's the skill of being a human.

The message condones looting and rioting. The message condones the notion that all cops are bad.

The message is one of victimhood.

Kids need uplifting messages of accomplishment. Messages that they can do. That they can achieve.

Schools need to teach skills of discipline and work ethic alongside reading and math.



What is a bigger reason for black poverty rates being above that of whites?


Blacks 12th graders reading on average at the rate of white 8th graders

Or

Being victimized by white privilege?


How much do you want to bet that a study measuring income by reading comprehension would eliminate or almost eliminate the white-black income gap? But that would blame schools and culture, can't have that in the cult of victimhood.

It's really not. The vast majority of that video is focused around wanting to change the focus from what is happening, to why it's happening. It's about being able to see past your nose.

You won't find me in philosophical conflict like you think you will. You are right, complaining about cops is easy. "They", no matter who "they" actually are, absolutely should seek to understand cops. Literally nothing bad could come from it, there is only upside. I don't even need to about it.

Tough crap. You get what you voted for. Until the citizens stand up and take back these liberal sh!tholes nothing will change. A few bullet holes in those hood rats will give them less incentive to follow their BLM hero's. I know you liberals will stay on your knees, so thank a conservative when they drag the scum out of the neighborhood.
