Pete Buttigieg Is a Lying MF

So, when a clip surfaced of Buttigieg explaining why negro kids fail at school so often, his answer made perfect sense.
“Kids need to see evidence that education is going to work for them,” Buttigieg explained whitely, when he was running for mayor in 2011. You’re motivated because you believe that at the end of your education, there is a reward; there’s a stable life; there’s a job. And there are a lot of kids—especially [in] the lower-income, minority neighborhoods, who literally just haven’t seen it work. There isn’t someone who they know personally who testifies to the value of education.”
I want to be clear: Pete Buttigieg is a lying motherfucker.
This is not a misunderstanding. This is not a misstatement. Pete Buttigieg went to the best educational institutions America has to offer and he—more than anyone on the goddamned planet—knows that everything he just said is a baldfaced lie.
Majority-minority schools receive $23 billion less in funding than majority-white schools, according to a recent study by EdBuild. Black students in Indiana, the state where Buttigieg serves as mayor, and across the country, are disciplined more harshly than white students. But even though Buttigieg has never attended a school with more than 10 percent black students, he thinks he knows what’s stopping black kids from achieving their educational dreams.
Apparently, it’s not the fact that the unemployment rate for black college graduates is twice as high as the unemployment rate for white grads. Black college graduates are paid 80 cents for every dollar a white person with the same education earns. White people leave college with lower debt and higher earnings. White kids get more resources, more advanced classes and have access to more technology. But Pete says it could all be solved with a vision-board.

Sounds like things are worse than ever

This is damned if you do damned if you don't situation for Mayor Pete. Pete mouths the very same things cited by blacks all the time. The need for young black kids to have black role models in their class rooms and communities but when he says it he gets trashed because he is white. And anyone who claims that school funding has something to do with school performances is lying to you.

The shittiest places get the most funding.

Kids benefit from having two parents who demand things of them and their schools. Not having that hurts kids of all races. It also doesn't hurt if one or more parents knows what a good education looks like. Without denying the existence of racism, it is difficult to escape being in the underclass regardless of your color.

Only if you believe that not having kids before you're married and graduating from high school are "difficult" is it hard to escape being in the underclass.HHusky said:Kids benefit from having two parents who demand things of them and their schools.

If that's just normal life for you, you may repeat the pattern. And in the meantime, you're ill prepared to escape the underclass in any event.SFGbob said:

People are more capable than you believe O'Keefed and the greatest thing you can do for most people is to not hold them to such low expectations.HHusky said:

I choose not to pretend that people who come from the underclass have some sort of innate understanding of how to escape it. In any event, my expectations have nothing to do with the question anyway. They either will or they won't.SFGbob said:

Well unless you believe they are incapable of learning how to graduate from high school and how to avoid having kids until after marriage they have the ability to escape it. You just think poorly of the dark skinned people and don't believe they are your equals O'Keefed. That's the kind of thinking that keeps people in the underclass.HHusky said:
