I guess that makes my parents house niggers (Malcom X: The house Negroesthey lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good because they ate his foodwhat he left). I see now that I should not have had hurt feelings because I am too uneducated to have understood the true meaning of Collins tweets. Meritocracy has roots at least as far back as Confucius before they were even deeply exposed to European culture. Its not racist to note that Asian kids study more. "Skynning" Europe alive.

This was Eugenics and most scientists believe all races have roughly equal average IQs, though the IQ may be higher for groups who say no to alcohol and drugs, and some IQ is environmental, the genetic potential for IQ is equal, and Nigerian Immigrants show higher than average white IQs, so this theory is false. She married Vernon Eugene Allen in 1970. Please do not denigrate the hard work that dedicated teachers, staff, and administrators at Lowell have put in to creating a learning environment at Lowell that meets hard working students where they are and shows them how far their aspirations and hard work can lead them.

We just hustled, prayed, and did the best we could. Much of AIPACs work involves whitewashing Israels illegal occupation of Palestine in support of the Israeli governments campaign of dehumanizing those there before them. Blacks, like everyone else, have a chance to prove they can learn and are smart and are morally willing to undergo the extreme sacrifice to prove they want to work as much as other kids, many Asian, who work very, very hard, who choose long hours of study over TV, video games, social media, hanging out. She punished thousands of families and openly called them racist for something a couple people they dont know did. If she doesnt want to sound like a fool, maybe it would help to crack a few books about the subject before she gets mad enough to start yelling online about something? Of course!

They had other accomplishments as well, like convincing millions that they longed for their homeland of Alabama, whether or not they'd ever been to the state. WebAllen's family grew with the birth of his daughter Amie, followed quickly by Allison. And the success of Africans and Asians proves whites arent racist. Im open to being convinced with clear, hard data. I also think that if families work hard and push their kids to work hard to achieve the American dream that is a good thing. why dont you work harder in life instead of But it is the argument.

Her father is English musician Phil Collins, while her mother, Jill Tavelman, who is from Los Angeles, California, was president of the Beverly Hills Women's Club for three terms. However, the pull of creating music was too strong for Allen to walk away from. Im by any measure very far left, but the fear for me was always that woke culture and was more performative than principled, and Collins pretty much personifies these fears.

The fact is that the success of East and South Asians in this country would not be possible without the blood shed by Black Americans in the civil rights movement. To anyone who argues that this is ok because it *might* be true (on the basis of personal anecdotes) I refer to an earlier commenter who pointed out that this is exactly how racists justify racism.

Call for the arrest of those who destroyed the statues in Golden Gate Park and spraypainted Kill Whitey, and help police track them down and make a citizens arrest (I am 90% sure the person who did this was white, but whatever race they are they should do 10 years in prison for destroying those statues). And, what I cant dismiss is she is likely a factor in why we are losing our first Black superintendent, as well as our Black vice principal, and our Latinx vice principal. The slaves that worked in the home were less likely to push for abolishing the system because they did not see much wrong with it, but the master could always relegated them to hard labor.

Shame on her, and Shane in anybody who defends her. i am proud to be an advocate for children, pediatrician, educator. Of course not. Moving kids around, renaming schools, stripping away academic entry.none of that solves the root cause of the academic failures of certain groups of studentswhich is family values around academic commitment and achievement, high academic standards, no entitlement mentality as if someone owes you anything, and not looking for entitlement and lowering standards to compete. Bet thats on the year-end spelling test. Is that going to fix things? This is why we cant have dialog about racial issues.

Black kids bully Asian kids all the time. Like if the field negros would just shut up and concentrate on picking more cotton, someday they might make it working in the house. The right wing in San Francisco is rampaging full spectrum, YIMBY, schools, DA, while the passive progressives are busied selling out the citizenry for their nonprofits, screwing grass movement progressive left movements, and parsing faux pas in political class court discourse. From my perspective saying the truth hurts diminishes the value shes put into her beliefs and priorities of working hard and sacrificing to become a physician and being grateful for the opportunity. We Asians/Asian Americans do not see ourselves as inferior or superior to other races, nor should any other nationality, race, color, creed, age or gender. What does S.F. What a disgraceful, offensive, and pathetic woman. During the immigration process and for the record, Blacks and Latinos have NEVER been afforded the privilege of choosing an American Name in addition to their legal name.

Yet this is what she did of all Asians with her misguided tweets. They have to stay married even if theyre no longer attracted to the person, for the good of the kids. Can you help a person who doesnt want to be helped? But even if false, the idea is obviously not *crazy* on its face, and Lowell stans need to stop dismissing the idea out of hand without even engaging with the facts of student outcomes across the entire district. I want her out, and I dont want her to go quietly because this performative-vs-principled conversation is something we need to have but gets silenced by the shouters. Give us a hand and lets rise up together. Having someone on a school board telling her charges (the students) that hard work (merit) has no place in San Francisco is completely opposite of what you want educators to say. ^^ Dino, thats incorrect. 3. never found any evidence to support that except for the In college, other students (rich white kids) called me and my fellow Asian friends grinds because we studied every day including weekends, and didnt party enough.
