Racism and hating the US Constitution still nostalgic favorites among Democrats

" . . . the white supremacists, and . . . "

It's now obviously acceptable to be a full-blown racist if you're a Democrat. And while they're at it being racist, why not add a little disdain for the rule of law as laid out in the U.S. Constitution. White people don't mind if you make them pay reparations for what they personally didn't commit to people who were not the victims of the people who did commit those atrocities.

One of the most outspoken, least interesting, racists and certified dolts of the Democrat Party, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (TX) has introduced racist and unconstitutional legislation that would make it a crime for white people to use their First Amendment rights to make political criticism against minorities because, well, no rationale was given. 

On the other hand, minorities can still enjoy their First Amendment rights because that's who we are as a nation.

See, I told you she's a dolt, but don't tell anyone you heard it from me because I don't want to go to jail.

Is it that minorities are too sensitive or weak in character to hear criticism, even if when the criticism voiced is true? Are they fragile or unable to defend themselves against words that make them upset? 

It's the same progressive mentality that treats minorities as "less than" people and to me, that's the worst form of racism because it's dishonest and gives the racist feelings of even more superiority and virtue.

But Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (Dummy-TX) is a minority, you tell me. Yes, and she's one of the worst representatives of her race in the public eye. Compare her to Dr. Ben Carson, MLK, Tyrus, Larry Elder, Condoleezza Rice, Rachel Dolezal [kidding]. You get the picture.

Imagine, criminalizing speech under the false claim that it's "white supremacy" and not even defining the freaking term other than to accuse the entire GOP of it. 

This lie is dangerous, divisive and racist as hell, which is where people like Jackson Lee can go, and she can take with her Al Sharpton, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and everyone who would try to take away our God given freedom. We do not accept your anarchy. 

This is why they want to take away our Second Amendment first.

Trump: Blacks and Hispanics "don't know how to get online"--wait, that was Biden who said that

Whenever Joe Biden talks, people listen, and many of them cringe. Anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex, whether or not he or she admits it, knows there is something amiss with Biden's brain. This is not being said out of malice, it's simply obvious.

The gaffer spoke at a Comedy News Network town hall with Anderson Cooper in which the President basically implied that Blacks and Hispanics are too ignorant to "know how to get online."

I'm not saying that Joe Biden is a racist, he can imply that himself with his own words and it's amazing that anyone on his staff doesn't tell him to cool it with these appearances. Without a TelePrompter, Biden comes across like an assisted living old White guy living in the 1960s.

If you need some context, turn on your audio for this brief clip.

During the exchange with Cooper, Uncle Joe is attempting to explain some of the problems being encountered in the course of trying to get everyone vaccinated for the coronavirus. One issue is the online registration process to request a vaccine where problems have existed. The bigger problem, however, is when Biden went off script and said that minorities don't know "how to get online."

His words:

“The other portion is, a lot of people don’t know how to register. Not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and African-American community particularly, and in rural areas that are distant or inner-city districts, know how to use, know how to get online to determine how to get in line for that COVID vaccination at the Walgreens.”

To paraphrase other Biden statements let us not forget that President Obama is a Black man who smells good and he's smart. You cannot go to a Seven-Eleven without seeing a guy with an Indian accent; and Republicans are going to put all Black people back in chains. 

If that wasn't good enough to show the American public how Biden thinks about minorities then nothing anyone can say would convince them otherwise.

It's truly mind boggling how a U.S. president can be so incredibly condescending to minorities, but hey, let's not forget that he has nearly all of the media making excuses for him or helping him by not reporting some of what he says. 

It's no different than CNN host Chris Cuomo's silence on his brother Gov. Andrew Cuomo's current scandal with the COVID data coverup in New York.

And the way that Anderson Cooper just stood there on stage nodding as if Biden's words were normal tells you everything you need to know about the mainstream media.

A shoe on the other foot, Trump's foot, would have received a different response. And that's why nobody with at least two brain cells to rub together trust the media.

New York evidently okay with Illiterate Teachers

So-called education "experts" in New York are planning to get rid of the literacy test they used for evaluating potential public school teachers because it's too hard for them to pass. 

They claim too many non-white individuals (those people without white privilege) fail the test. The problem is that while it may strengthen the literacy of kids in school, it weakens diversity within the profession. In other words, it's more important to have a racial diversity of teachers than it is to have teachers who are literate.

The difficult test in question is designed to measure reading and writing skills, which the layperson not well-versed in what makes a good teacher, often believes is more important than academic skills. In fact, that silly test is known as the Academic Literacy Skills Test,  but don't ask the newly hired teachers next year how to spell it--it's not their job. 

Their job is to be people of diversity. 

Professor of Education at Pace University, Leslie Soodak, served on the task force that made the recommendation. In fact, diversity seems to be her main goal in education of you read her research--Google her name. She says "We want high standards, without a doubt. Not every given test is going to get us there."

No kidding.

The literacy test was introduced in the 2013 - 2014 school year to raise the quality of teaching in New York and weed out the inferior students of education.

Proponents of the reform criticized the quality of students trying to become teachers. In a 2016 National Council on Teacher Quality study, it was found that 44 percent of teacher preparation programs reviewed, accepted people from the bottom half of their high school class.

But the test caused concern when only 46 percent of Hispanic test takers and 41 percent of black test takers were able to pass it on the first attempt, while white students passed it at 64 percent on their first attempt. Naturally, liberals cried "Racism!"

But a federal ruling in 2015 concluded the test was not discriminatory. Still, the liberal education community suggested the test has discrepancies between white people and the minorities.

"Having a white workforce really doesn't match our student body anymore," Soodak lamented, suggesting that she would be willing to undergo a heart transplant from a heart surgeon who passed Surgery 101 on the second try. Or else she doesn't think reading and writing are all that important.

Kate Walsh, president of National Council on Teacher Quality, (a term that is slowly becoming an American oxymoron) supports the literacy test. She claims that minorities tend to score less due to factors such as poverty and the "legacy of racism."

And all along you thought it was poverty that turned out terrorists.

The truth is, minorities score lower in part due to lowered expectations of them by their parents and teachers, and the lack of a stable home environment, in many cases.

According to Walsh, New York became "light years ahead of other states" because of this test, "when it comes to the teacher certification regimen."

The Racism of Lowered Expectations

A standard test to vet New York City's potential teachers was struck down by a federal judge because he believed the test illegally discriminated against racial minorities due to their lower scores compared to white applicant test scores.

The judge may have had a good point if he were dealing with the unfair literacy tests of Jim Crow, but this was the city's second Liberal Arts and Science Test (LAST-2) and it simply tested basic high-school-level knowledge of liberal arts and the sciences.

The test is straightforward and should be fairly easy to do reasonably well at, as it relies on factual knowledge and basic academic skills, which should have been acquired by anyone who expects to impart those skills and knowledge on students. 

Reality check: if you're going to teach something, you ought to know it before you teach it.

But since Hispanics and black applicants had a passage rate of about 54 to 75 percent of the passage rate for whites, this had to mean that the test is racist. How can we ever expect minorities to do as well as whites? It just isn't fair to expect that out of them.

Or is it?
