Booker made a passionate plea that he would go after the NRA and guns like never before. You know because he lives in a gun riddled area and he’s seen first hand just how much devastation guns cause.
That Emily Harris lady or whatever her name exposed just how racist she is with that statement that black teachers are better.
Imagine if someone said, "If a White child has a Black teacher before age 6, they are twice as likely to smoke weed, If a White child has 2 Black teachers by the time they are in 6th grade they are 33% more likely to go to prison".... People would FLIP THEIR SHIT...yet Harris gets away with it...WTF?
Their new slogan could be Make America Shitty Again. They've already shown a predilection for the pronunciation of the acronym.
I appreciate their sudden honesty and encourage them to ramp it up. The talk around the office today about the debates is dominated by the left's mission of civilian disarmament. If the left could hear what people are saying, they would be freaking out. So more please!
I kept waiting for one of the candidates or one of the moderators to call out Booker for his BS about his neighborhood and where he grew up. He grew up in one of the richest and most racially NON-diverse in MD. Gimme a break! He like to act as if he grew up in da' hood, and had to struggle for everything that he has. Typical democrat hypocrite.
I hope they ramp it up tenfold. All it's going to do is make a lot of the country that are moderates, vote for Trump. The far left will never vote for him, and the far right always will.
I couldn't sit through the whole thing. But my impressions are that Trump has 2020 on lockdown barring some eleventh hour Hail Mary by the Dems. The previously discussed Oprah announcement... perhaps some measure to put legalization on the national ballot? Comrade Bernie won't survive the campaign if he keeps acting like he did last night. He'll stroke the eff out. He already just comes across as a pissed off doddering old Whitey. That's not gonna motivate the base.
I thought the same thing. The way he was looking at Biden, all hunched over, face red as a beet, I was waiting for him to pull out an AR and start leveling the candidates, lol! His blood pressure had to be 999/999.
If Biden or Bernie get the nod, I hope like hell Trump asks them 'I thought liberal progressives hated old rich white men?"
Cite please, because I am not reading that in the transcript. I am guessing this is what you were referring to: She did claim that black children taught by a black teacher were more likely to go on to college. I believe she meant this as it was a positive role model for the black children, not that black teachers were better. With positive role models lacking for many blacks, those claims would not surprise me at all.
32% more likely THAN WHAT is the question ... 32% more likely than if they had 2 asian teachers? 32% more likely than if they had 2 white teachers? 32% more likely than if they weren't even in school at all? Context. It matters.
If that is what she said, and those statistics are factual, I have absolutely no problem with the point she was making. I did not watch the debate, so I am lacking context. It is human nature to identify with those similar to yourself. If black kids will see higher lifetime success rates as a result of early exposure to positive black role models, everybody wins. I would note that their competency should be more important than their color. Now, back to business as usual. I will probably never agree with anything else BluYam ever says, Harris is a total idiot, and Bernie is just a sideshow this time around. His only shot was stolen from him by Empress Hillary. I don't think that he would. He was not blind to human nature.
Again, I didn't watch the debate, but the statistic would be meaningless unless it simply referred to the presence or absence of a black teacher.
I have not been able to find the source for the statistics Harris used RE: black teachers. If Dr. King's dream was of a world where people would be judged on content of character, not color of skin, then no he would not be pleased with the continual focus on race. I learned from black teachers, I learned from white teachers. Some were good, some not. Race was not a determining factor in their effectiveness, and this has been 50 years ago. I don't see those statements as moving towards the dream. YMMV.
