No whites allowed in Aurora tutoring program...LOTS OF NSFW CONTENT

There has long been a double standard, you can only be racist if you are white

While i whole heartedly agree that racism caused lots of issues, our agressive need to correct our wrongs has gone long past making sense

I'm pretty livid about this. This is blatant discrimination against race. I own a property that feeds directly to that elementary school which means my property tax is being spent to fund racist programs.

Upon review, at least it sounds like some (hopefully very soon to be fired) dumbass principal is responsible, and he is being condemned by the wider school district authorities and so forth.

So long as we see this guy reprimanded and, hopefully, out of a job soon, I don't see too big a problem.

As with our .gov reps calls, e-mails & faxes expressing "OUTRAGE"

I find it funny that people are so frightened of being branded a "racist". Where i grew up race fights were something that happened. I have no problem with anybody of any race, however I do not share the same values as some of the other races. Everybody may be the same, but our cultures are not. To be honest I wouldn't want my kid (that I don't have) in a program that was designed for other races anyways.

If counting with your mouth open while pointing at your fingers and toes worked for you, it should work for your future children just fine. One jackass doesn't define an entire group of people genius. How is it that when white people do some crazy racist shit, it's not all over this forum? You guys cry more than my four year old daughter.

I really don't think this was racism, I think they just thought it was easier to pass it off as a white vs color issue because the media always sides with the non white point of view. This is really about dumbasses. The reality is dumbasses know they are dumb and the thing that highlights it for them more than anything else is to bring a non dumbass in their midst. The side by side comparison is like a 10million lumen LED. It even occurs around here from time to time.

I just wrote a letter to the superintendent of Cherry Creek Schools and demanded the immediate termination of Mr. Pearson for his violation of public trust. Allocating tax payer resources to a program that discriminates against children based on the color of their skin is a blatant violation of public trust.

If no action is taken against the racist principal I may have to lawyer up, I'm not going to tolerate my money being used to fund a racist principal's agenda.

My question is... how do they determine of "color"" When I was in the Corps, they used to have us fill out forms that asked ethnicity. I always left it blank or told them I was african American. They of course would get all pissed off about that. I would tell them my parents were from Johannesburg, SA. They said that didnt make me african. I have actually been to africa. How many colored Americans have actually been to africa? their parents ? grand parents? great grandparents? to call people african American after this many generations is a joke. (a bad joke) just because you have skin that is pigmented darker than others, doesnt make you african. Either we are all Americans or we will all fail. How can they say who is colored? some people like RMAC are multi ethnic. (who isnt). so does that count? or do you have to be a certain shade of color? is hale berry to light or is danny glover too dark? its all bullshit. people need to grow past all this color and race bullshit.

+1 When I was in the Corps it was common to use phrases like "dark green Marine" or "light green Marine". . . you know, because we're all green

I only know one African-American. He's a white guy who was born in Cape Town, SA, and has dual citizenship.

So sad this is the world we live in now... I can't remember what show/movie it was, but these employees were forced to watch a harassment training video for work and were asked at the end what they thought, one said "So only whites can be racist, and only men can be guilty of sexual harassment?" This reverse racism crap needs to end- but people are too blind by the faults of others and want to somehow "punish" the later generations for what??? Makes me sick. Oh wait, because I'm a white male I'm racist...

Its sad how people see an isolated, coocoo principal who is quickly shut down by both the community and his superiors and then lament about how "this is the world we live in now."

You sound like some bleeding heart liberal who sees one racist person who gets condemned by everyone and then says OH NO THE WORLD IS SO RACIST, OH THE HUMANITY.

Get a grip.
