pointless Antidote/Story Tim;TurdBomber said:My kids went to a public elementary in Seattle. Every parent showed up for their parent-teacher conferences in my kids' classrooms, and sometimes both parents. The class right next door had 4 parents, total, show up. Guess which kids performed well and which ones didn't? It's not race; It's culture.
I knew a teacher, first year, at a poor inner city elementary school. One of those types of people that really cares and hasn't been beaten down by the depressing reality of life. Got approval to build a garden at the school, got the local homedepot and dirt place to donate well over $2,500 worth of supplies, everything was paid for without anyone else having to do anything. She spent the next couple weeks sending out signup sheets to her 100+ kids, plus other teachers classrooms to help, all that she needed was some basic man power moving dirt and boards. ~10-12 guys could knock out the project in an relaxing afternoon.
On the day of the scheduled construction, after some parents signed up to help, I showed up early in the morning to set up everything and paint lines. Over the next 10 hours of hard labor one 70+ year old adult male showed up to help... one old grandpa @RaceBannon looking motherfucker, not one dad... 5-7 moms showed up... 20+ parents that signed up completely flaked... that was it.
It was fucking depressing shit, the experience changed her outlook permanently, she did all the work to permanently change the community for good and practically no one, at a school with 400+ families, cared enough to even show up and help for an hour or two. She left that school the next year to go be a great teacher in a middle-class suburb where she would be appreciated and supported.
Side note; A few boys came with their moms. They were so happy to have a male show them how to use a saw, nail gun, or drill, carry "heavy" things, and give them a high five for building something... It was like they had never experienced normal male approval before... fucking sad.
There is a destructive cancerous culture problem and no one wants to say it because actual racists cant differentiate between culture and race.
Denzell's been saying it for years, but the mainstream media goes "squirrel" whenever he does. -

Well the problem(s) certainly can't be with the teacher's unions. And it can't be with the way many kids are showing up for school with little or no discipline from the parent(s). It's got to be whitey that's the problem.
