Appears the reality is that nobody ever really listens to the "talk"

My kids were told that if they were an ass to a cop I would fully support them getting their ass kicked.

There's a trophies-for-all problem in the black community when you tell every black girl she's a queen and every black boy he's a king.

Character is formed by working and earning shit, and Empathy grows in that same vein.

I know that's just my whiteness talking, but when I hear ignoramuses throw the word "empathy" around, with no idea what it means or while displaying their own complete lack of it, I know those persons are headed for trouble and conflict.

Polling reveals that the school kids with the highest self-esteem are the black kids and it's totally independent from academic performance.


Large-scale representative surveys of 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade students in the United States show high self-esteem scores for all groups. African-American students score highest, Whites score slightly higher than Hispanics, and Asian Americans score lowest. Males score slightly higher than females. Multivariate controls for grades and college plans actually heighten these race/ethnic/gender differences. A truncated scoring method, designed to counter race/ethnic differences in extreme response style, reduced but did not eliminate the subgroup differences. Age differences in self-esteem are modest, with 12th graders reporting the highest scores. The findings are highly consistent across 18 annual surveys from 1991 through 2008, and self-esteem scores show little overall change during that period.

In my kids' experience in Seattle schools, all I saw was mostly white liberals going to ridiculous lengths to prove how not racist they were. None were worse than brand new teachers, straight out of college, or older teachers, particularly female, who seemed to think their age alone made them more viewable as racist than their younger peers.

Either way, hardly were black kids and parents oppressed or discriminated against. Quite the contrary. Their asses were licked daily. I'm guessing I might have very high self-esteem, too, if people ostensibly in positions of power and prestige licked my ass every day.

But again, that may just be my whiteness talking.
