Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity, Equal Outcome, or Something Else? Racial politics in today's America.
President Obama recently signed an Executive Order "White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans." You can read about it at:
http://freedomoutpost.com/2012/07/obama-issues-racist-executive-order/
I happen the believe this is a good thing, although I disagree with Pres Obama on almost everything. The only solution to perpetual poverty and crime in Black America is education. Until our nation provides AND African Americans avail themselves of a good education, our nation will continue down the path we now are on -- an increasingly illiterate, ill-educated, socialist entitlement state.
With that as the foundation, could any modern Caucasian president sign a similar order that gave whites special consideration? When will we as a nation and society end the political correctness that not only prevents us from solving our problems, but prevents us from even discussing them? What do you think?

The problem with doing something like that is the President has now opened the door for more inequality. He is in effect saying. Black people you are stupid and need more education so here it is. Why not instead make the education bill available to everyone that is in a lower income bracket. Why just black people? What about all the other people who are in similar situations that would love an education and would be productive members of society with it? We need to eliminate any separation of the races if we are ever going to eradicate racial bullshit. If you think about it all the President is doing is now taking anyone that will benefit from this program and MAKING THEM DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT.

It is possible to hurt large groups of people at once. Happens all the time. Nothing personal. It is happening right this moment throughout the full human color spectrum.
Healing is immensely personal. Happens one person at time. Can't be legislated. The effort to legislate healing is a very expensive delusion.

Interesting question. I do not have time to read the whole executive order but I have been in education for most of my adult life. I would first like to say in my experience there is nothing genetically inherent that tells me that black people are intellectually inferior to white people. I have met and known very intelligent people from all races.
In college there are black fraternities, the Omegas, the Kappas, the Alphas, and the Sigmas. I used to party with the Omegas because my best friend was a brother. I would like for them to go to high schools and show these young people what is possible it they put in the effort.
Unfortunately I run into the attitude. "It's cool to be stupid," and as much as i try, I cannot reach all of them. I have had success with some. Young black men need to see successful role models in fields other than entertainment, athletics and politics. They need to see that they can grab their piece of the American dream if they want to put in the effort. I have friends that have done this. They have started their own business and have become very successful.
Trust me, I have a plan.

i think we need education for all poor people regardless of color or religion. sounds like a racist bill to me and if these socialist elitist are running the schools just what kind of education should you expect. obama is just trying to show that he is down with the cause it is getting to voting season which no one should participate in No Confidence is what I suggest so is it racism and political grandstanding on scale with what white politicians created in the early 1900's? well not jim crow but not a correct thinking bill.
