CM PRESS # 610

ANOTHER COMMENT ON 'RACISM" AND CHOICE

Here's another comment we just grabbed from the white flight from schools article in the Daily Pilot.[HERE]
This one is from reader10.

reader10's comment is too long for us to take it apart line by line, so we've just focused on this
one line below.  Be sure to read his/her full comment after the article to put it in complete context.

reader10 tells us that some posts really are racist and that some people don't know what constitutes racism.  However, reader10 then fails to tell us what constitutes racism.  Perhaps, he can offer his definition of this all purpose smear word.

Some folks should read their posts and they may see that they really are racist as I think some folks don't know what constitutes racism.

As you read all of the comments after the white flight out of schools article, notice the be true to your school cheerleading. 

Yes, we understand that some mean well and are trying to give positive comments partly to support their own personal choices and partly to try to attract people back to these schools.

However, it's going to take more than cheerleading.  It's going to take facts, and facts begin with statistics and comparisons to make the case to highly educated parents.

THE ATTEMPT TO AVOID DISCUSSING RACE/ETHNICITY

Here's the relevant portion of a comment we just grabbed from the Daily Pilot from Steve Singley in answer to an earlier one from kakalaki that follows the story on Whites fleeing Costa Mesa's "inner city" schools.[HERE]

Note how Steve Singley  makes an unsupported claim that the real issue is "poverty."  Note also how he brings up the term "racist."

Perhaps Steve Singley, if he reads the CM PRESS, will be kind enough to give us some examples of schools in "poor white rural ares" (sic) that support his claim.

Steve Singley at 12:35 PM September 5, 2011 kakalaki, you're confusing poverty with race. You could make the same arguments for schools in predominately poor black areas, poor rural white ares, etc. Therefore, your argument IS racist. It has nothing to do with being Hispanic and everything to do with coming from a household mired in poverty and all of its trappings. {snip}

MASSACHUSETTS FORCES WHITES TO STAY IN UNSAFE AND LOW PERFORMING NON-WHITE MINORITY MAJORITY SCHOOLS--WHITE MOTHERS STARTING TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST ANTI-WHITE RACISM AND FOR FREE CHOICE

LONG ARTICLE IN DAILY PILOT ABOUT SCHOOL FLIGHT OF WHITES
Some comments take the usual PC route and say it's not about race or culture.

The CM PRESS says why be so defensive? 

It is your right as a free human being to make your personal decisions for you and your minor children based on any criteria that you find meaningful, and you don't have to justify or explain your reasons.  Again, it is about freedom and the right of the individual to choose as he or she wishes.

None of us has to spend a single minute of our time trying to sort out the content of the character of other individuals. 

We have as much right to make broad decisions in our personal lives about other humans as we do in deciding that we'd rather not waste our time sorting out which sharks will attack us and which ones won't.

If we choose to simply avoid all sharks that's our right. 

Now, if you feel that we are somehow not being enriched because of our choices, and that we should spend our time and energy sorting out sharks, well, I say to you that you are certainly welcome to do that if you wish--you being as free as us--but don't try to force your choices on everyone else.

Again, it comes down to freedom, the right of each of us to choose as we wish and self-determination.
