Don’t most students use ebooks anyway.

A Texas Republican lawmaker has drawn up a list of 850 books on subjects ranging from racism to sexuality that could “make students feel discomfort,” and is demanding that school districts across the state report whether any are in their classrooms or libraries.
State Rep. Matt Krause, R-Fort Worth, also wants to know how many copies of each book the districts have and how much money they spent on them, according to a letter he sent Monday to Lily Laux, deputy commissioner of school programs at the Texas Education Agency, and several school district superintendents.
Krause, who chairs the state’s House Committee on General Investigating, also directed the districts to identify “any other books” that could cause students “guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress because of their race or sex or convey that a student, by virtue of their race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.”
"could cause 'discomfort'" .. Poor Snowflakes .. 
The problem is that the conversation has gone completely lopsided. Blacks can say whatever they want, no matter how retarded and monkey-brained it is, but if white people say something about blacks and how fucked up they are, the blacks go full ape mode. That kind of jungle behavior from the blacks leaves only one side of the argument able to talk, and the other not. That's obviously not OK. Either both sides get to talk, or neither side does. If blacks don't like it like that, they can eat a banana or something. But if blacks want to be able to talk themselves and say all kinds of retarded monkey garbage, then they have to stop booging out when someone points out what garbage their culture is. That's actually what I would like to see. The blacks want to go hard against whites. That's fine. Whites should go hard against blacks, too, and we can see who's the hardest. Clearly, America is badly fucked up. |

Sadly I think that’s reaction is hoping the radical left democrats are hoping for. They kick the dog repeatedly and when it bites they say see, that’s a bad dog. The left uses race and class warfare to pit groups against each other artificially. Don’t fall for it. I don't think it's possible for blacks to live in a human society without conflict. The conflict is not created. It's unavoidable because of the innate gap in cognitive ability. The suppression of the conflict is what is artificial. It keeps the conflict at an interminable low boil. What would be better is to let it boil over naturally so that blacks end up removed from our society. And in this future of yours with no blacks, is society peaceful for eternity?

Clearly, America is badly fucked up. It's easily fixed. We just need to change our criterion for judging people's statements from whether the statement is "moral" to whether it's factually accurate. Evangelical libs have somehow gotten us off track and turned us into a puritanical theocracy. The god they worship is equality, but there are reasons to suspect that equality does not exist. Now everything is judged according whether it comports with the morality of their faith, rather than whether it comports with reality. I thought we had gotten free of that kind of thing, but they're back and worse than ever. |

Very few people pretend everyone is equal in ability or moral character. Those who do-they're idiots. Of a par with the fuckwits who think you can prejudge an individual's ability or moral character by their skintone. Proper set of dullards, both tribes. I meant America is fucked if it's got the likes of you in any numbers. |

We can watch as more policies and programs fail to make the racial groups equal. Maybe in 50 years people will start to wonder if perhaps racial equality is a myth. Or maybe it will take 100 years. Or 200. The god that fails over and over again eventually loses followers. |

More so. Nobody's perfect. You don't sound very confident.
And now, not only do you have an equally imperfect society, it is a society that must live with the knowledge that it eradicated an entire part of its population, like those third world shithole countries in Africa that are culling entire ethnic groups. You would make us no better than them.
Worse, your utopia is really just the same situation we have now.
In economics, when a customer is dissatisfied with a product or service, they can either leave (Exit) or speak out (Voice). Exit almost never makes the product/service better, but it is the quicker, simpler choice that customers tend to make. Don't like coke, switch to Pepsi. For systemic long-term improvement, Voice is nearly always better. What is voice? Complaining about the problem to management, and then coming up with a solution that modifies the existing product/service to improve it. Don't like coke, complain, and they will modify, or add, new products.
Removing blacks, if they truly are the problem (which is assinine and stupid to even consider), will NOT yield a better, more peaceful society. Only by fixing society itself, through laws, compensation, etc, can that happen.

We've had policies and programs out the wazoo. So far, no effect. Zero. Zilch. Black economics are the same today as they were in the 1950s. For decades, we've been told that policies A-Z would change things, programs 1-100 would fix the problem. But you know what? Every program and policy based on the belief of racial equality has failed miserably. But I'm willing to stand back and let the rest of the world watch your god continue to try to perform miracles. The longer we watch, the more unsure people will become. Leftists know this. They are getting antsy about their god not showing up after 70 years of trying to summon him. They've now changed the rules from equality to equity. They're blowing smoke about "systemic racism" since it's vague enough to be unfalsifiable and fool some people more of the time. They're getting rid of the SAT so we can't see the measurements anymore. They're kicking people like me off the internet because the things we're saying are spreading like wildfire because they're just so obvious. Leftists know their god is out to lunch, and they're trying to cover it up. But that can only work so long before people figure out the charade. So keep it up for another 50, 100, 200 years. Give us a zillion more policies and programs that are supposed to work but then don't. People have short memories, and they're kind of dumb, but after you've fooled them a hundred times or more, eventually they start to catch on. How long is it going to take for your god to show up and do what you say he'll do? That's what I'd like to know. We haven't seen it. I think it's bunk. And the more you try to turn water into wine and keep giving us water, the more people will figure it out. |

I don't really have an assumption, more a suspicion or hypothesis. It's a question. That's much different from the left's dogma of racial equality, which is super ultra-radical orthodoxy for the left. Generally the left behaves like a medieval religion. They're not progressive. The Enlightenment passed them by and left them in the Dark Ages. They really don't like people like me who question their faith. But why not? If their beliefs are so sound, they should be able to stand up to any amount of questioning, suspicion, and doubt. The left knows their time is up. That's why they're circling the wagons so hard now and have been lashing out so hard over the past decade or so. Their article of faith is cracked through and through by decades of failed predictions, programs, and policies. They hope they can shut doubters up to keep their faith from shattering all to pieces for a little while longer. But it's coming down. Reality just won't go away. |

Jussie Smollett is a prominent example of how this is done, but he's just the tip of a much larger iceberg of using "white guilt" and false accusations of "racism" to get white people to bend over and give in on any number of things. I also think there are others who aren't black but who use blacks to exploit white people, and generally any white person who is a Democrat is being exploited by black people and their handlers. |
