I am an individual. We all are, in fact, as ironic as that may be. As such, I have never thought into terms of my ethnicity, or my gender, or my "sexual orientation" or any other groupthink demographic. That's not the way I was raised, it's not the way Mrs. Hard Starboard and I raised our kids, it's simply not our mindset.
Which is why it just feels uncomfortable to say the following, but say it I must: How does it feel to be second-class citizens, my white brothers and sisters? Because here is a fresh example of burgeoning government-mandated (and, it goes without saying, unconstitutional) black supremacy:
A South Bend school field trip turned into a conversation about race after students at local primary schools were offered a chance to visit three area colleges. The trips are only for African-American students.
Some parents have told ABC 57 they believe this is discrimination but the school corporation says this is all just a misunderstanding and it is not meant to be a discriminatory trip.
It just happened totally by accident to turn out that way.
“We should be able to do everything together and not separate,” says parent Charles Yost.
“I feel like all kids should be going,” says Deirdra Mullings who has a son going on one of the field trips.
“It creates a double standard,” says parent Kelley Garing.
Under a racial equality regime, all the kids would be going. That is quite evidently not the regime in South Bend, Indiana.
Dr. G. David Moss is the director for African-American student/parent services with the South Bend Community Schools Corporation. He says statistically black students are less likely to think of college as a real possibility.
Doesn't the very existence of a "directorate of African-American student/parent services" kind of illustrate this reverse-segregationist problem? Or is there also a "directorate of Caucasian student/parent services" as well? I'm guessing no. Because that would be, you know, "racist".
“We take them to a college campus, have them meet African-American students, modeling the idea that as a black person, college is a great place,” says Dr. Moss.
Can it not be for white students as well? Or are they supposed to be relegated to sharecropping or something?
“I just think it breeds intolerance and creates misunderstandings,” says Garing.
Oh, there's no "misunderstanding" here, Mr. Garing. We understand that the intolerance is already abundantly present all too well.
Dr. Moss says this was never meant to offend anyone.
“It was not meant to be exclusionary. It was only meant to support and give these kids what they need to think positively about themselves and about their future,” says Dr. Moss.
Which can only happen if they are given advantages denied their white classmates. Nothing exclusionary about that, is there?
And the thing is, you can almost believe that "Dr." Moss doesn't even realize how cynically double-tongued he really sounds.
Almost, that is.
Exit question: Are the South Bend public schools going to buy a new fleet of buses? They're going to need them given how many white kids are going to be forcibly riding in the back of them.
