I just happened to see this on YouTube. This story happened about 15 months ago.
I think that we need to have some kind of military schools for the worst kids. Kids who get expelled from schools should be sent to military schools where corporal punishment is allowed, IMO.

Gotta agree with you on this one, WEB. When parents are unable to manage their kids to the point where they turn out like this, drastic action sometimes needs to be taken, and this seems pretty fair to me.
(PS-- God I hate O'Reilly. He is a disgrace to the Irish!)
I hate that only white people are called racist. If it would have been a black teacher, those kids would be in so much trouble right now.
Maybe the life of white people would be easier if they traded place with blacks. You all get to be the minority living in ghettos, and we get to be the majority. We won't give you any jobs and we'll call whites lazy ass cracka's and of course give them a beating if they get out of line. We'll have a handful of blacks who dominate the media and government and will stop the 200 million blacks from calling white people cracka on the media and in the workplace.
Want to trade?

Or poor blacks could do the same thing poor whites do: Move to a trailer park instead of the ghetto, get called white trash instead of lazy blacks, sit around watching NASCAR instead of BET, and drink whiskey instead of doing hard drugs.
It's not about Race, it's about money, self drive, and culture.

I didn't realize that most white lived in trailer parks. Since they don't, I'll stick with an actual trade of black and white positions. We'll take the ownership of corporations, and the nice neighborhoods and good jobs, and whites can live in an economically depressed ghetto, with the run down schools. Since it's so rough on white folk, let's make an actual trade in positions without any misrepresentation of how most white people actually live. Blacks are the lucky ones, so let's trade positions. Then whites can have all the luck. If you won't honestly describe the living standards of whites, then it follows that your comment about what it's all "about" must also be false.

I clearly said poor whites live in trailer parks. Secondly, it isn't about race, it's about money and power. Someone can achieve a position of power if they can get the money regardless of their race. Blacks are not poor because they are black, just as whites are not more well off because they are white. Blaming the system for ones stature in life is a cop out for not succeeding in life.
Cultural forces create the splits. Whereas inner cities have a culture which promotes drug use, teen pregnancy, and dropping out of school. Rich suburbs have a culture where higher education is expected, hard drug use is not nearly as prevalent, and teen pregnancy rates are much lower. thus creating the end result that once a bloodline is established in the rich suburbs, it is more likely for their offspring to continue that lifestyle, and those born into the inner city are likely to remain in that culture, regardless of race. Trailer parks are not nearly as bad as the ghetto when it comes to creating unsuccessful next generations.
So like I said, it isn't about race, it is about money, self drive, and culture. People chose how they want to continue to live their lives. The big difference (problem) is; that ghetto culture dominates among blacks, and trailer park culture is not dominant among white, suburban culture is.

I would disagree with trailer parks being "better off", there is a large amount of meth use not just alcoholism and there is also the nazi/kkk culture that continues to live on where poor, uneducated whites live.

I don't remember saying that blacks should trade places with poor whites, so I don't know why you interjected poverty in there. I said that since whites are so oppressed, we should trade places. Some whites are poor, others are middle class, and others are in the professional class and others are rich. We'll trade in proportion to the distribution of whites among the economic hierarchy. We'll let some of the blacks stay poor, and the other 80% can take the nice jobs that white folks have. The whites can be unemployed and do the other menial labor. It's so good to be black, so it should be a good trade.

Your comment seems contradictory as you posit two necessary systemic qualities (money and power) and then say that "blaming the system" is a "cop out." In either case, I disagree with your omission of other obvious factors that determine success in life. Also, regardless of your trying to shove your ideology into the thread, I merely posit a switching of positions between whites and blacks since whites are such poor victims. This has nothing to do with your ideology.

You said it was about "money and power" before, not "money, self drive and culture." In either case, you can think it's about whatever you want, I'm just agreeing with a previous posters that black people have all the privileges, so we should switch positions so whites can be as privileged as blacks.

And I'm saying they could have it if they would reject the ghetto culture which holds them down.

Perhaps I didn't articulate this very well. I mean that in order to hold positions of influence, like leading corporations, etc. requires money and power, not racial qualifications. Blacks are not by and large worse off because whites fill these positions, they are worse off because they hold themselves back. They "system" doesn't hold them back, they hold themselves back.

The exact quote in the last sentence of my first post was "It's not about Race, it's about money, self drive, and culture." The money and power reference first appeared in the beginning of my second post.
The poster you replied to was merely pointing out a double standard when it comes to being accused of being racist, not that blacks held a better position in society.
Switching positions has nothing to do with this, I merely posted on the fact that they could get themselves out of the rut. It may be my ideology, but I don't think it's very controversial to say that one who embraces ghetto culture is more likely to end up in the ghetto, than a person who strives for success.
