It's impossible to be apolitical in many senses.

My own take is that regional, internal distinctions are more reasonable than pigeon-holing people based on nonsense like skin color, or flavor of surname.

Guys, this speech never happened! If it did, I'd be surprised if the guy hadn't been fired for making it. Every single Black, Hispanic, Jew, Female, and Momma's Boy attending that school would have run home and complained to their parents about it and they would have turned around and called their local news station and school board to complain that the principal was a member of the KKK, Aryan Brotherhood, Neo-Nazi, MenareBetterThanWomen.com, etc. etc. etc.

Why?

Because they want to be victims. They will never accept equality with white men in their lives because it's so much easier to play a victim and get all the free hand outs. Why be foolish and accept equality with white males when that's not going to make it any easier for you to get a job or a promotion at work or extra points to attend a pristine college?

It would be like a person with handicapped plates choosing to park in the back of the parking lot at Walmart because they know they're really not handicapped to the place they can't walk on their own. Nobody knows they can walk just fine accept them. So they continue to "milk" the sympathy pass they've been given by society because the perks of being a victim are just too good to ever give up!

Even had a black female Police Officer at work tell me this. She knows she's got it good. Management is scared to death of the EEO and Union that protects the hell out of her. She shows up late to shift almost every night and misses more work than anybody else on the force. She's a disgrace and several of us have called her out on it. She just laughs and tells us that our ancestors shouldn't have ever enslaved hers and because they did, she gets the hook-ups! Lucky b####!!!

The author never said it was given. He said every teacher and principal should give it.

Every black? What about Walter E. Williams, or the woman in that Tea party video (who also comes under your "female" category?

Every Hispanic? What about Alberto Gonzales

And perhaps you didn't notice that this was taken from a Jewish newspaper.

And perhaps you didn't notice that the author himself seems to be Jewish, and certainly his publisher is.
Sure, I generalized a bit there, but then again, we're talking about teenagers here also. You know, the ones that have had it the hardest in life considering they were chained down to slave ships bound for this Godforsaken land that they're now being forced to learn in. And now you want them to learn equally with whitey? You must be out of your mind! It will NEVER happen.


Btw, it's normal to generalize when the majority is taken into consideration. I mean, I've never had a wreck in my life, or a speeding ticket, but at age 16 I was paying heavy for auto-insurance for all the other reckless male drivers on the roadways! Didn't get a break until I turned 21 and got married. Face it, everybody gets generalized! And I am not going to dispute that there are always exceptions to the rule. Of course those are "exceptions" meaning a tiny few and certainly not the majority. This author was an "exception" to the rule. That or he was just trying to rub the "Keep dreaming! It's never going to happen whitey" into our faces. But, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was just an "exception" to the rule. There are *some* minorities that see that the perks given to their protected group are also the sanctions holding white males back, and truly feel that so long as any gender or race is being sanctioned, there will never be any true equality in this country. Right now all we have is pseudo-competition going on.

Perfect!

Now we need to make that next president's inaugural speech.
But that will never happen.
