5/27/13, "Obama's Black lie to Black Graduates," Taleeb Starkes , American Thinker
"While
delivering the commencement speech at historically black Morehouse
College, President Obama predictably utilized "victimology 101" to
access the inner victim that presumably exists inside all black
Americans. He disingenuously reminded the all-male graduates, "As an
African American, you have to work twice as hard as anyone else if you
want to get by." Unsurprisingly, this underhanded insinuation that
racism is so pervasive that no amount of individual effort will overcome
it received a thunderous ovation, even though this recycled notion has
the legitimacy of a three-dollar bill.
Ironically, the president's lack
of credentials suggests that even he didn't have to "work twice as hard"
to obtain his current position. Unbelievably, in spite of Blacks having
achieved unprecedented positions of power today, including a Black
First Family, the gross delusion that Blacks must "work twice as hard"
maintains equity within the Black community. Nevertheless, the unpopular
and simple truth needs to be verbalized... Blacks are not expected to
"work twice as hard." This open secret is known to independent thinkers,
unbiased observers, non-liberals, truly qualified individuals, and
those who've escaped the crab barrel.
In fact, society has routinely lowered the bar and expectations for
Blacks in attempt to close the widening achievement gap. There's a
reason why Affirmative Action has become synonymous with Blacks even
though it was designed for all minorities. Coincidentally, Morehouse is
located in Atlanta, where the predominately Black school district's
students didn't have to "work twice as hard" because the Black
superintendent orchestrated the biggest cheating scandal in Georgia's
history to help them.
Florida's board of education obviously
disagrees with the fallacy of Blacks having to "work twice as hard," as
evidenced by their lowering of academic standards for Black students.
Additionally, Florida only expects seventy-four percent of their Black
pupils to be proficient in Math and Reading (at grade level or better)
by the year 2018. As far as Florida's expectations for its Asian/White/
Latino students, seventy-four percent is an unacceptable indication of
underachievement; such status is reserved for Blacks.
In Virginia, Black
students seemingly don't have to "work twice as hard" either because
the state implemented educational goals for Blacks that are near the
level of students with disabilities. According to npr.org,
"Here's what the Virginia state board of education actually did. It
looked at students' test scores in reading and math and then proposed
new passing rates. In math it set an acceptable passing rate at 82
percent for Asian students, 68 percent for whites, 52 percent for
Latinos, 45 percent for blacks and 33 percent for kids with disabilities." The upside of Black students being placed at the bottom is that there's nowhere else to go but up... unless
"up" requires them to "work twice as hard."
One frustrating aspect of
this 'cater to the lowest denominator' liberal ideology becomes apparent
on graduation day. These schools don't issue the coddled, Black
graduates diplomas that reflect their pre-approved statuses for,
academic shortcuts. Nope, they receive the same diploma (that used to be
based on merit and successful comprehension of the core curriculum) as
their diverse counterparts who were held to a higher standard. In other
words, the Black students unfairly receive equal reward without equal
effort. Despite this favorable dynamic, Black parents still audaciously
warn their children, "As an African American, you have to work twice as
hard as anyone else if you want to get by."
The Manhattan Institute released a 2006 study
that surveyed the 100 largest school districts in the United States. It
found that only 48 percent of Black males earn a high school diploma,
which was 11 percent less than Black females. It also noted that 1 in 4
Black males who drop out of high school end up incarcerated....
Although the academic
atmospheres in many school districts have become severely relaxed to
accommodate Blacks, school still isn't embraced. Alternatively, Blacks
have statistically chosen to "work twice as hard" at being
career-criminals or permanent passengers on the welfare train. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
reveals, "Dropouts also make up disproportionately higher percentages
of the nation's prison and death row inmates. Comparing those who drop
out of high school with those who complete high school, the average high
school dropout is associated with costs to the economy of approximately
$240,000 over his or her lifetime in terms of lower tax contributions,
higher reliance on Medicaid and Medicare, higher rates of criminal activity, and higher reliance on welfare."
I'm
emphasizing to Blacks what's actually correct and not what's
politically correct. Instead of reinforcing the falsehood that Blacks
have to "work twice as hard" because of racism, they should "work twice
as hard" to exorcise the victimization, criminality, and entitlement mentalities that are omnipresent in the Black community... and exploited by the Democrats." via Lucianne
