Even a blind squirrel finds a nut right?

Heh heh

Biden is like that greasy old uncle that everyone is uncomfortable around on holidays. Everyone gathered around the table just waiting for the old fool to say something off-color, and cringing in unison when he finally does.

That grease has gotten him out of a lot of jams

It is socialist cant to say that the way to fix ANYTHING is with more spending, and spending “FOR OUR CHILDREN” is tops on the list. For Biden to leave out the party line and refer to parenting practices as defining the major difference will get him a serious talking to by the Clintonistas. They are doing everything they can to separate children from their parents once they are school-aged (and making school-aged younger all the time, with mandatory pre-school proposals), which is why they don’t like Bill Cosby’s current campaign of common sense, and why they will chastise Biden for going off the reservation.

[I]t sounds to me like Greasy’s making a cultural/economic critique here, not offering any Bell-Curve-type theories.

I’d invite everyone to read The Bell Curve in order to come to appreciate the difficulty of separating culture, economics, and intelligence.

Isn’t he also the same guy that said all Indians run 7/11’s?

Well, you know, except for folks like the Ob/Gyn that delivered Monsterette 2, and some guy named Piyush Jindal who is about to run… Louisana.

<evil laugh />

DC Schools and other governmental functions are severely handicapped because the States all choose their most undesirable residents and send them to rule DC …because nobody wants them living in their town. These outcasts, who have proven again and again that they cannot run a successful enterprise of any kind, are collectively called “Congress”!

Republicans treat minorities like everyone else. Democrats treat minorities like… minorities.

Maybe that is why many minorities hate republicans. Because republicans expect them to work instead of getting bigger handouts or cuddling from a nanny-state like Louisiana.

Democrats would never survive back in the day of tribes and hunter gatherer civilizations.

The amount of outrage generated by a statement about race is directly proportional to the amount of truth in the statement

The truth hurts. Even if a righty made that comment without any reference to minorities or color and just stated “dysfunctional families”, they would still slam and attack him for his “insinuations”.

I have a phylosophy: if you dont want to have the reputation of something, then dont act like that.

The amount of outrage generated by a statement about race is directly proportional to the amount of truth in the statement

This is the single most accurate observation I’ve seen on an blog in regards to comments about race. Tell ya, if I could buy a beer for that one, I certainly would. Bravo!

There was a story years ago in the Chicago Tribune of a young do-gooder teacher who volunteered to teach first grade in the housing projects and even bought Golden Books to give to her students for them to read. She visited their homes to meet their parents. At one of these apartments, she went to the bathroom to find one of her Golden Books next to the toilet, half its pages ripped out. If you have parents who think the best use for a book is to wipe your butt, you’re doomed. The best teachers in the best schools can not save you.

I don’t think he’s racist.
I just think he’s an idiot.

The two traits are quite compatible.

The party of liberalization keeps digging themselves in deeper and deeper.

Perhaps Biden could auction off his half chewed foot.

I guess there may be a correlation between .
Money spent per capita / SAT scores.
As it is in the case of Salt Lake City / Washington D.C.

But I never thought in a million years that there may be a racial element to it.

I do know that there is a direct correlation between low TAS test scores in Houston, TX and the gerrymandered voting districts. But I always just chalked that up to democrats having lower IQs.

I do know that counties that vote democrat (blue counties) have a murder rate 10 times that of Red counties. Hum.
Makes ya think.

Cosby’s vent refers to a serious segmented problem, but does not insinuate that ALL “African-Americans” are in the same boat. Of the same character.

Biden suggest that WHEREVER there are “African-Americans”, this problem is automatic. Even if statistically this was evident, he insists that their mere presence is all that is required.

What is evident is that where there are Democrats, minorities, especially “African-Americans” suffer.
