We even know white people from well to do families whose children are drug addicts...some of them have been featured on this web site and are in jail now. <br />We even know there are white criminal gangs too...the Outlaws, the Mafias ( Italian and Russian) and the Aryan Brotherhood who make the Crips seem minor league. And, then we have the neo-Nazis and KKK.<br />We've noticed it's not black kids who are doing mass murders at schools as well, the latest in Plano just yesterday.<br />We don't claim to be more Christian as a race as our churches welcome all races and we've noticed there are many thriving black churches as well.<br />So, the truth is that some folks just need to look down on somebody and blame someone else for the problems of humanity while ignoring that they are part of the human race.<br />There's actually rather a lot of scholarly research about people who are called " haters" on the Internet and if these " haters" read about their common traits, they'd keep their mouths shut and their keyboards silent. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-2244759221997220192017-09-14T07:07:45.685-05:002017-09-14T07:07:45.685-05:00STOP THE TAKEOVER OF J.P.S.!

The 'et' in et cetera means 'and'.

Not exactly a consensus. JPS clearly has problems that need to be addressed. Whether MDE is capable of addressing them remains to be seen and I do have my reservations. However, I at least think that MDE can manage to have someone monitor the metal detectors in the mornings and make sure there is an adult in the room. Those children deserve a better environment regardless of what anyone on this thread thinks about their parents. There are probably some parents that don't care about education, but I can assure you that there are plenty who do but don't know how to make things better. How do you teach kids to respect an institution that can't keep students and teachers in the classroom? That can't get the buses to the school on time? The message that we are sending these kids is that they aren't worthy enough to have a safe environment. We have reaped what we have allowed to be sown.

With regards to the statement about ALL the white children being drug dealers, my point - unclear though it may have been - is that when the white kids in my neighborhood are busted for drugs - and busted they are indeed - I have enough good sense to know they are not representative of all white children.

Where is this 'neighborhood' out in the county where the sheriff is busting all the black kids. Do you mind if I speculate as to your credibility?

His 'Monday Memo' each week stated that all students should go to college. His view in this area led to massive shutdowns of Vocational Technical programs in our high schools. I witnessed this first hand while visiting school districts. The junior colleges in our state have done a pretty good job of interacting with businesses and gaining funding from business for Vo-Tech programs. However, there are thousands of Mississippi high school students who either do not have the capacity to attend college/junior college or don't have the desire. Our high schools should offer them trade alternatives.<br /><br />One reason for the increase in dropout rates was this emphasis on college for every student when every student should not be on a college track. Then Hank Bounds came in as Superintendent and pushed the 'Get on the Bus' initiative in response to dropping graduation rates. <br /><br />I also worked for a local school district and have seen parents of every color who care and don't care. As a supervisor, I thought I could make my employees care. Not possible. But you can make it so uncomfortable for them not to care that they act like they care. Same objective accomplished. <br /><br />My motto to get folks to do what you want them to do: Find out where it hurts the most and push there.

Simply using the word "some" would help. <br /><br />10:58 I've no reason to be out after midnight, so that won't be happening. But are ALL the black children running up and down the street? If you want to say the parents of the children running amok don't care, fine. I don't necessarily agree with you, but at least you're not being all-inclusive. I don't see the sheriff in my neighborhood busting ALL the white children for drugs and would never deign to paint all of any group with the same brush, positively or negatively. There are "good" parents of all backgrounds just like there are "bad" parents of all backgrounds. I would like to know why you are driving the streets of Jackson after midnight? Don't you have a job to attend do in the mornings? Are you out partying? Who is watching your kids while you patrol the mean uncaring streets of our capitol city? <br /><br />The fact remains that you keyboard gangsters sit around talk *%$# about black folks in general and then complain about black folks not doing the things you would have them to do is hilarious.
