The Racist Dems of Oregon.

[Ninjaturtle2020]

I'm mixed, white and black. White mom, black dad. Both parents educated and my dad an upstanding citizen born on a share cropping farm in North Carolina. Mom from Oregon, kinda flower hippy gal but country at heart.

Anyways my dad always stressed that he would be there for his children and he has been. Even coached me and my brother in peewee baseball for my 3 years and continued coaching the team of youngins for ~8 years. A lot of black kids didn't have that.

In fact the majority of my black cousins had nonexistent fathers. They can't swim, for sure never went camping or learned to chop wood. Use tools, work on small engines, etc.

I got a lot of shit in my youth from the black side of my family. From the very first day I ever met them. I was around ~5, dad brought us to the projects to meet our cousins. I remember some asshole kid named demari-A(no idea how to spell) socked me in the face and took my electric rc car.(the ones that took like 12 AA batteries lol)

I remember I ran inside like WTF

Throughout elementary, and middle school, I got a lot of shit for being, "white washed". I was given shit for "talking white" as well. There's so much ignorance. My cousin Antwon is in jail for shooting my other cousin chris. I've never seen him as an adult, antwon got life in prison. Chris survived the gunshot and did time for armed robberies he was involved in with antwon.

They managed to make kids, which spread the problems even further. The cycle just continues on and on. A bunch of shit fuckin parents who blame everyone else for their kids.

I could go on, and on forever. They're some really fuckin shitty parents then, and likely even more now. The amount of obese children I see on a daily is insane. Little kids fuckin drinking 24 Oz sodas on their iPads.

Can't go outside little Johnny the covid monster might make you sick! Here, drink this soda. Have some Risperdal, maybe Ritalin will help...

I hear you clearly. My sons are multiracial, mix of Irish, Latino, Black and even some Asian. I’m the Irish part. As I’ve pointed out to them we are first of all American.

They are currently attending the same school district I graduated from 25+ years ago. I’ve since gone out and lived many places in the US, 10 years in NYC.

It’s sad to see that minority kids are still ostracized in this school district, it’s about 90%. It seems to be the parents and the overall attitude of the district to point out the differences in race the same as it did back when I was in school. My sons have a black friend they’ve known since preschool, he was treated different by 4yo’s then and still is at 12yo. We’ve become friends with his family, we go on family day trips together.

They’ve taken him out of school bc kids keep saying he’s different.

It sucks because until we stop pointing out meaningless differences, ESPECIALLY placing lower expectations, we will never advance as a whole.

And yes, there is a strange dynamic in my family. My wife and her brother both were raised in a Latino neighborhood around all their cousins. Both of them excelled, went to college and have done very well professionally. There cousin are always cropping up with jealousy and backstabbing comments. People seem to equate success with “trying to be white.” This is thrown at people as an insult.

Placing lower expectations on certain races only perpetuates the issues of the past.

That's some powerful testimony there turtle.
Thanks for sharing it.

I used to coach peewee football and still coach high school wrestling at times today.

And you can easily tell which boys have father's around and which don't. The kids with father's handle adversity, hard tasks and loses much better. They know how to get up off the mat and get back into the grind.

Sadly, the left has demonized manhood for so long it's all but disappeared in the communities where they rule.

I'm a white man. My family immigrated from Denmark , so although I'm outside your perspective I can say that I've lived in black communities for most of my life in Texas, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Black communities are very different in the south as opposed to the west or north. Twenty years ago, most black families in the south had both parents. Father's were in the home. And those people were largely hard working, God fearing blue collar all American people.

Many success stories can be found amongst them. And thier children turned out to be solid, level headed American people.

It sounds to me like your father came from that generation.

It's been very confusing to me. I've come to know the black southern community very well and in truth, they are some of the most conservative minded, faith based and family oriented people I've ever met. They work hard, and mind thier own business.

I can't understand, nor do they seem to understand why they largely support the democrat party.

Has nothing to do with racism.

So called higher education is big business. You'd be a fool to not see the demographics of this country changing away from white.

It's not about education at all, school is about credentialism that is what matters. Do you have credentials? The job is yours.

College sends a signal to your future employer that you are obedient, that you can sit for hours doing something completely mundane and unnatural, that you will control and deny your natural impulse towards freedom. That you will give your time and energy and work long hours to get the job done and stick to it even if you have to sacrifice everything to look good to your peers. It proves you are a dog that will fetch a stick on command.

What College doesn't do. It doesn't tell me that you're intelligent. How could a smart person go into $150K debt only to get out and complain that they are deep in debt. That's about as obvious a dumbass move as there could ever be.

These kids lining up to get into the University today aren't doing it because they want to, they see it as the only route where they will be accepted by society and deemed worthy not to dig ditches for the rest of their lives. They are so terrified to be "othered" "outcasted" and kicked to the curb that they will do the University thing because the unknown alternative is terrifying.

The other problem is self education, our society doesn't recognize nor do they want anything to do with it. If employers actually cared about intelligence and skills they would test those skills themselves, but that isn't what they want. They want those just smart enough to perform the tasks, but not smart enough to realize how mind numbing the experience of going to work everyday is.

So I cheer on the University in lowering the standard. It's a good business model. Why would you ask schools not to do something that any other business would do if they had the chance. More students, more money, dumb or smart cash is cash.

After all what is the purpose of higher education, especially those that completely buy into the system and spend years of study stacking on degrees? It's so one day they can become a pretentious asshole, so they can look down on everyone else. The question is why are tax payers forced to support this bullshit? I'd much rather graduate with top honors a class of complete idiots with down syndrome than a few elitists that are afforded the luxury of holding a coveted spot few could complete. I'd like to see a day where you don't even have to go to school, you just send in your money and they send you a diploma allowing you to get that slot in some big corporation.

At the end of the day the University is all about Americas Class Warfare. If you don't have a degree and you have an employer you're gonna be reminded everyday what a pathetic looser fuck you are and why you won't be getting a raise after you've reached the top of your pay grade after 3 years of service.

Very interesting post.

Thank you for that perspective.
