Blacks didn't enter contest but should have won anyway ...

[dogtag]

Only Whites entered the MLK contest so obviously only Whites won.
But outrage followed the awards as no Blacks won. The fact that none
entered seems to be neither here nor there.

It seems that Insanity is more contagious/infectious than the new virus from China.

What is the point

[blackhawknj]

The point is that many people claim to revere MLK while being totally ignorant of what he said and what he fought for.

while this is true,

those kids will get toasted for 'cultural appropiation' or some similar nonsense,

Togarly missing the point;

-It was found this had much more to do with Montana’s demographics than racial “elitism.”-

I took a road trip to Montana with my girlfriend and I was delightfully aware that there weren't any Mexicans in sight. I live in AZ and it's about 50% here. I mentioned that and I got slapped around for being, TA DA, Boom, racist.
Yeah, my post might have been a little true, but it was true; Montana is a cold lonely place and there's no work there(ask my friend who nearly starved at Flat Head). So, the young detective liberals somehow pounced on this. Well, it's like flies; brush it off.
OK, what if there was one black guy(I want to say kid) at the college? Did he enter? Can he write anything? If he wrote Ooga Booga should he get an award for participation? Maybe it wasn't Ooga Booga. Maybe it is a little white imbalance. Well, if he is smart he learns a little something. I always look on the bright side.

Dryheat, my point is....all MLK topics will follow their setup to a predictable end. Like pulling down the Indiana Jones box set and picking one. Not the last one, though, with the alien space ship. That one was just dumb.

very sad comment,, and absolutely true

I dont see the problem unless you want to start busing Black children again to even out the students
What if the report was about our past Presidents who owned slaves and a Black student won.

It is those who are expressing outrage who are the racists.

If they wanted a Black to win the competition, why didn't they enter themselves? If there were no Black students, why didn't they enroll or recruit students?

been there , done that,

3rd grade,

bussed my white butt across town to the hood, and some kids from that part of town over to my hood to 'even things out'

didn't go to well, esp since most of us kids that were bused got sent to private schools the next week

[blackhawknj]

In Boston some years ago they built a new school in a black neighborhood, it had everything, including a swimming pool. But the kids in that neighborhood couldn't use any of the facilities because it wasn't their school, they were being bussed to another school miles away.

locally, the Native American tribe (those that are recognized, several are not) are nearing the ability to open Casino's,

that has the AA community upset for some reason, so someone called Urban One is running ads on the radio wanting folks to call in to the State Reps and Senators to do something about it,


do something as in give them a percentage,,

Interesting. Liberals spread the lie that Andrew Jackson said, "Mister Justice Marshal has made his ruling, now let him enforce it" and this had something to do about Indian Removal.

It was actually a case (Worcester vs Georgia) where the state of Georgia had a law requiring Whites living among the Indians to have a state license. The court ruled Indian tribes are sovereign and state law doesn't apply to them.

Now under Worcester vs Georgia, the Indians can do whatever they damn well please, as long as it doesn't violate Federal law.
