When school is out, this is what it's like for whites in Philadelphia:"It's mayhem. Students are in the halls, they're smoking in the bathroom; cigarettes, marijuana," said a worker at the school, who asked not to be identified. "We can't contain them and it's really hazardous for us working and these kids are not being educated at all.""It's a zoo in here. Parents really need to come up here and see what's going on in this school because it's ridiculous," said the worker.[1]
The upward trend of racial harmony was not clear to Steve Huber earlier this year when he wrote an article for Philadelphia Magazine titled "Being White in Philly." Huber talked about the unrelenting racial violence and the fear it creates among white people.Mayor Nutter said the article was "disgusting" and called for an investigation by the City's Human Rights Commission.[2]
I wonder if the mental disease that modern liberalism is is a reflection of the realization on the part of millions of progressives (liberals, socialists, and communists) that absolutely everything about progressivism is a lie or a complete failure of the intellect. The reason that attacks on truth tellers are so virulent is precisely because it is intolerable that what one has supported all one's life is a pathetic fraud and a lie of untold viciousness because of the damage it has inflicted.
The assault on reason, common sense, and free speech is the ultimate double-or-nothing bet -- adults emptying their bank accounts onto the betting table and then jamming their fingers in one's ears.

A bit of humor reinforces the tragedy:
ReplyDeleteGraduation in Detroit
Darqueeze played high school football in Detroit. He was a great running back, but a really
poor student. At graduation, he didn't have enough credits. But he was a great football star
and the students held a rally and demanded the principal give him a diploma anyway. They
were so insistent that the principal agreed that if Darqueeze could answer one question
correctly he would give him a diploma.
The one question test was held in the auditorium and all the students packed the place. It
was standing room only.
The principal was on the stage and told him to come up. Diploma in hand, the principal said:
"Darqueeze, if you can answer this one question correctly I'll give you your diploma."
"Darqueeze, how much is three times seven?"
Darqueeze looked up at the ceiling and then down at his shoes, pondering the question.
The other students began chanting, "Graduate him anyway! Graduate him
anyway!"
Then Darqueez held up his hand and the auditorium became silent. He said, "I think I know
the answer. Three times seven is twenty-one."
A hush fell over the auditorium and then all the other students began to chant:
"Give him another chance! Give him another chance!"
You mean to tell me groups of youth of one ethnic persuasion attack one person of a different ethnic persuasion? How could that be? But what about Trayvon and Michael Brown...two innocent honors students ruthlessly gunned down by raaaacists. If that's all ya got, we white folks are way ahead of ya.
ReplyDeleteAhh Detroit- I remember her well- she went from a great city to decay- and the ed. system was one of the first to go--after the welfare system (ADC et. al.) was implemented--
ReplyDeleteCarol-CS
Reg T, that's one for the ages. True laugh out loud material.
ReplyDeleteBrinster, I know it's hard to believe. But we have to live with what is not with what we wish were true.
ReplyDelete:-)_
Carol-CS, it's odd. We just accept that any of the cities that whites built will just decay into a brick jungle if blacks approach becoming a majority there. It's inevitable but it's just what Americans accept as normal, part of the natural order of things, immutable, even a vindication of our niceness.
