When he added that he wanted 6 million women to put their kids in qualified state run pre-schools he let the cat out of the bag concerning what he and his people want to happen. Other dictators have done just that forever beginning with the Spartans of Greece who took sons from their mothers at age 7 and raised them up to be soldiers.

I don't know just what Obama has in mind as far as education is concerned but it surely isn't what young mothers would want for their children, in my opinion.

Just a comment.
The biggest enemy of Black folks today is the Democrat Party. They, almost exclusively, are responsible for the wreckage of most of the Black family structure across the U S. They commenced their strategy in the early 60's with the passage of massive entitlement programs the result of which replaced the traditional male head of household with Uncle Sam. The Democrat Party was really engaging in legalized v**e buying.
The proof of the Democrat Party "success" is right under our noses. Today, 90%+ of B****s v**e Democrat. Seven percent of the entire U S population are Black males who comprise nearly 50% of the 2 million jailed felons. Then there are millions more Black males either on felony probation or parole.
Many W****s who reside on the outskirts of major U S cities that are predominately Black discourage their children from venturing downtown out fear that they might be victimized.
If you think I'm exaggerating then simply go to this site.

The point I'm making is this. The idea of B****s and W****s coming together in mutual respect is the last thing the Democrat Party wants to see.

Earlier this month, the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act was celebrated. During the act's legislative debate, then-Sen. Hubert Humphrey, responding to predictions, promised, "I'll eat my hat if this leads to racial quotas." I don't know whether Humphrey got around to keeping his promise, but here's my question: Is it within the capacity of b***k A******ns to make it in this society without the special favors variously called racial preferences, quotas, affirmative action and race-sensitive policies? What might a "yes" answer to that question assume and imply about b****s? Likewise, what would a "no" answer assume and imply? Let's look at it.

There are some areas of black life in which excellence can be found without the slightest hint of racial preferences. Young b****s dominate basketball, football and some track-and-field events despite the fact that there has been a history of gross racial discrimination in those activities. B****s are also prominent in several areas of the entertainment industry. Those observations mean that racial discrimination alone is not an insurmountable barrier to success. By the way, I can't think of any two fields with more ruthless competition.

You say, "OK, Williams, everyone knows about the success of b****s in sports and entertainment, but what about the intellectual arena?" A few inner-city junior high and high schools have produced black champion chess players, schools such as Philadelphia's Roberts Vaux High School and New York's Edward R. Murrow High School. Last year, two black teens -- from Intermediate School 318 Eugenio Maria de Hostos in Brooklyn, New York -- won the national high-school chess championship. All of this is in addition to quite a few black international masters and grandmasters in chess. Moreover, there's a long list of former and current black inventors and scientists. So there's no question that black people have the capacity to compete intellectually.

Civil rights organizations and their progressive allies, who all but suggest that b****s cannot achieve unless they are given special privileges, grossly insult and demean black people. But worse than that, when civil rights organizations and their progressive allies pursue special privileges for b****s in college admissions and when they attack academic performance standards as racially discriminatory, they are aiding and abetting an education establishment that delivers fraudulent education. They let educators off the hook, thereby enabling them to continue to produce educational fraud.

You say, "What do you mean by educational fraud, Williams?" There are many inputs to education that are beyond the control of educators, such as poor home environment, derelict parental oversight and students with minds alien and hostile to the education process. But there's one thing entirely within the control of the education establishment. That is the conferral of a high-school diploma. When a school confers a diploma upon a student, it attests that the student has mastered the 12th-grade levels of reading, writing and arithmetic. If, in fact, the student cannot perform at the seventh- or eighth-grade levels, the school has committed gross fraud. Even worse is the fact that black people, including those holding fraudulent diplomas, are completely unaware. It has absolutely nothing to do with racial discrimination. In fact, black education is the worst in cities where b****s have been the mayor, chief of police and superintendent of schools and where most of the teachers and principals are black.

Racial preferences in college admissions give elementary schools, middle schools and high schools a free hand to continue their destructive educational policy. If colleges did not have special admissions practices for black students, there would be far fewer b****s in colleges, and the fraud would be more apparent to parents. They might begin to ask why so many b****s with high-school diplomas could not get into college.

If the civil rights establishment and the progressives have their way, b****s will have to rely on special privileges in perpetuity.

Walter Williams

The Senate v**ed today about 53 to 45 that the Redskins should change their name and mascot. I wonder how to justify that v**e since the people approve of the Senate about 8% and nearly 80% of the same people say the Skins should remain who they are.

How do you feel about this one? It wasn't really a political question till today when the Senate sent a letter to the head man of the NFL calling for him to do them like the head man of the NBA did the old man the other day. Yep, they politicized this thing with that v**e and most of those who v**ed yes were Democrats.

ipnmajor-surely you are not that naive. Ve'hoe is exactly right. Whenever Obama is criticized for anything, somehow, race enters into the picture and the critic is viewed as, or accused of, being a r****t. If you cannot see that it is because you do not want to. The people who play the race card the most in this country are Barrack Obama, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Obama is a divider starting with race, then on to class, and finally to g****r. He is methodically dismantling the middle class who are now in the poor category and allowing the rich to get richer. During the past five years the top 1% garnered 95% of the wealth. Your idol was thrust into a job for which he was not qualified and the country is paying the price. He is user of people and once you have served his purpose you will be discarded like a used rag. (Ask Rev. Wright) This country deserves better. Good Luck America !!!

I agree totally, however, we will make no progress toward that end until we learn to discuss matters here in a civil way. This forum can be a great way for us to agree to disagree in a honest, nature manner. Remember united we stand divided we fall. I know there will be differences, for an honest debate there should be. But the time has come to put aside one upmanship. Being a true honest American has become more than just bantering back and forth with only h**e and anger being the end result. What we are doing is just exactly what the forces both seen and unseen want us to do. Keep us arguing with one another while they keep slipping us mickies. I'm sure we as Americans can rise to the cause to save our nation before it's too late.

I hope no thinks I am asking for anything. I own an $800,000 house in California. I am a retired chief petty officer from the US Navy and later the ship yards. I made good money working in the ship yards. My military and social security retirement income is very-good; Otherwise, I would not have time to sit around and write all this bulls**t. If I needed anything I would go my kids. They all make six digit income. My remarks were in regards to their addle-head v****g patterns of American not their work ethic.

What does a HS education mean today?? In most cases, you can't read your own diploma, you can't do simply math, your speaking sk**ls are around Kindergarten level, you writing sk**ls are almost non existent, your manors are no where to be found, you expect everything to be given to you free, you have no idea what a work ethic is and don't even understand the word, you believe that if someone disagrees with you that it is time to k**l them, because you can't win an argument any other way, your attention span is measured in seconds, you have an excuse for everything and it is never your fault, you think the constitution was written especially for you, but you don't have any idea what is in it, you think Obama is doing a fantastic job, but you can't tell anyone why, if you are to stupid to get a good paying job, don't worry about it, the government is there to take care of you, guns are only made to hurt someone, so the only people that should have them are the police and military, guns k**l more people then everything else combined, so get rid of guns and the criminals will go away, the answer for everything is more government, they always fix our problems, no matter what the problem is in our government, it was Bush's fault, there is no corruption in government and if you believe there is, you must be one of those dirty Republicans, and the list goes on.

People do not put you down just because you have a lack of education, they put you down when you tell them they are obligated to take care of you. If you are honestly trying, then people will help you. If you expect the world to be handed to you on a silver platter, then go home, we don't need you. Being poor is not a crime, not trying is. As long as you never give up on yourself, people will not give up on you. Hang in there and keep trying. A collage education is not all it is cracked up to be. If you really want to get ahead in life, then go to a trade school and learn a sk**l.

I once met a man that was a millionaire. He had a 6th grade education, an IQ of 118 and a desire to get ahead. He did and so can you. All you have to do it try hard and believe in yourself. The rest is just work....................
