    black history month

    3 Calif. teachers suspended for honoring O.J. Simpson, Dennis Rodman in black history parade

    03-03-2010 08:22 PM EST |By CHRISTINA HOAG, Associated Press Writer
    LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) -- Three Los Angeles elementary school teachers accused of giving children portraits of O.J. Simpson, Dennis Rodman and RuPaul to carry in a Black History Month parade have been removed from their classrooms, a school district spokeswoman said Wednesday.
    Children from other classes at the school displayed photos of more appropriate black role models, such as Nelson Mandela, Harriet Tubman and President Barack Obama, Los Angeles Unified School District spokeswoman Gayle Pollard-Terry said.
    The incident occurred Friday at Wadsworth Avenue Elementary School in South Los Angeles, where the student body is more than 90 percent Latino.


    District Superintendent Ramon Cortines placed the teachers _ all white men who teach first, second and fourth grades _ on administrative leave on Tuesday while an investigation is conducted, Pollard-Terry said.
    "The superintendent will not let anyone make a mockery out of Black History Month," she said.
    The issue was brought to district officials' attention by the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP after the organization received a complaint early Monday, chapter President Leon Jenkins said.
    Jenkins said he felt the teachers acted in concert to mock black heroes and children's innocence.
    "These are not the people we want our young people to emulate or believe these people represent the best of the African-American community," Jenkins said. "It's hard for the NAACP to believe this was a mistake."
    Simpson, a former NFL star, is serving a nine-year prison sentence for robbery and kidnapping. He was famously acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife and her friend.
    RuPaul is a drag queen performer. Rodman, a former NBA star, has gained notoriety for bad boy behavior on and off the basketball court.
    Some parents at the school on Wednesday said the issue was overblown.
    Sharon Tinson, who has two daughters at the school and attended Friday's celebration, said she had been surprised to see Simpson displayed in the parade. But she noted that Simpson, like Rodman, was a great athlete before falling from grace. RuPaul simply has an alternative lifestyle, she added.
    She noted the event also included a tribute to pop singer Michael Jackson, who has also had a checkered career.
    "I kind of laughed at it," Tinson said. "I wasn't offended."
    Gabriel Blackson, whose son attends the school, said he also took a larger view of the ruckus.
    "These guys were heroes before. People make mistakes," he said. "I think they show kids they can be somebody, to push them to be somebody."
    Jenkins said he is calling for the teachers to be fired.

    At least they didn't honour sell-outs like Bill Cosby, Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Justice Clearance Thomas, Condi Rice, Colin Powel, or any other of the phoney blacks.

    The only thing I do find offencive about this is that they left out Tookie Williams and Mumia Abu Jamal. I mean, if you found a street gang, then write some childrens books, or dust a cop, doesn't that entitle one to call themselves a true black hero? WTF can't these people give credit where it's due. This IS Black History month FFS! What about Mike Vick?!??!

    Why can't we have a white history month where we can honour true white heros like Jim Crowe or David Duke?!?! It's not fukkin' fair!

    That's a very good question! I guess it's because the white race is just too littered with serial killers.

    There's a high school in Salt Lake City that has a black principal. They have black history month twice a year.

    This is the sort of one-sided racist crap that keeps racism alive and flourishing.

    This posts reminds me of a thread here on IM. We were discussing the issue of race and crime statistics. I was pointing out that blacks were responsible for more crime than their percentage of the American population.

    I caught shit for being racist because I was pointing out the facts.

    When I stated, with no proof whatsoever, that there were more white serial killers than any other race, no one said anything about it being a racist remark.

    So remember boys and girls, it's only racist if you're white.

    Oh, and being a serial killer shows good work ethic and being intelligent enough not to get caught on the first kill.

    Word, the black serial killer would probably get drunk and stoned and get caught trying to get away from the scene.

    Probably? Don't give them that much credit. lol
    I remember watching a "dumbest criminals" show where a black teen shot and killed another guy. With police in persuit, he took off into a wooded area. He was caught in about 10 minutes because the police were following the lights on his sneakers which lit everytime he took a step!
    Fuckin' genius.

    The point was that by stating facts, with links to data, and I was called racist. I then made the serial killer statement, without providing data, and no one said shit about racism. That was the point.

    Oh yeah, that's typical though. People don't usually accuse someone of being a racist unless they are making alligations about a race different from thier own.
    Facts or not. No one ever called a black guy a racist for calling another black guy a nigger. It's only racist if any other race does it.

    No one calls a black comedian racist if he says "cracker", but it's not the same if a white comedian says "nigger."

    Yep. That's 100% true. I see your point. So black's have total racist "ammunity" while whites have to walk on egg shells to avoid a racist title.

    We should have Poor History Month, round up all the ghetto dwellers, toothless trailer park wonders, barrio rats, Pitmans family; give them food, booze and 1000 garbage trucks and have them built parade floats and then hold a Parade Across America...final destination the Grand Canyon....just lead them right to the edge and watch them drop off....
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    It is all culture. The reason black people commit more crime is because of poverty. Crime isn't inherent in the DNA.

    The reason serial killers are nearly always white is because whites are the ones who snap from the pressure of life and the demands of society on them. The demands put upon white people especially at an early age warps the psyche.

    The formula as been the exact same for almost every serial killer. Overly religious, strict, unloving, and abusive parents make serial killers. I was just watching the iceman tapes last week about Richard Kuklinski who probably killed over 200 people.

    Everyone should watch that movie, the HBO version.

    I thought the Iceman was a contract killer for the mob. I wouldn't say he's in the same class as a Dahmer or Bundy who killed for no reason at all.

    I saw that interview. It was awesome.

    He wasn't a contract killer when he was 8. He killed dogs and cats for fun. He would tortured neighborhood pets. He beat up some kids damn new to death with a coat rack when he was a teenager.

    I can agree to some of what you're saying. But it's not only poverty. You see the photo of 50 Cent above? Does this person look like a criminal to you? He isn't poor, yet what is his message to the youth?
    Humans learn through example. What is the majority of youth learning from this type of photo. This whole gangster lifestyle that (mostly) black youth tries to emulate leads to criminal behavior. I agree, poverty is one reason. Trying to gain respect from thier fellow gangster wanna-bes is another. Gang related crimes are a large chunk of the crime occuring in many cities.

    Sports and music allow a handful of ghetto thugs leave the ghetto.
    Other than that, very few do. It is the same reason that very few rednecks leave the trailer park.

    To raise above, someone has to break the chain of ignorance and poor character. Someone has to fight and scrap to achieve more and than pass that on to their children.

    Another Racism War!!

    Fact: People in Poverty are more likely to commit crimes; Majority of Blacks are in Poverty (white man's fault)

    Fact: Niggers are worthless; Niggers come in all shapes and sizes AND colors

    Fact: Niggers existed in USA before Blacks were ever transported over; good thing they were, they worked for basically nothing (except they were fed Corn Bread and Watermelon)

    Here's a thought that will screw with your head:

    Look at any race of people in the US; white, black, Hispanic, Arab, or whatever. Now, compare the way that they live in the US in terms of wealth and crime. Now compare them to their nations of origin.

    You're going to find that each race corresponds to the lifestyle of the countries/area of origin.

    I don't buy that. The Wiki article has a great list that covers the aspects that make a serial killer:


    1. The majority are single, white males.
    2. They are often intelligent, with IQs in the "above normal" range.
    3. Despite their high IQs, they have trouble holding down jobs, and often work menial jobs.
    4. They tend to come from unstable families.
    5. As children, they are typically abandoned by their fathers and raised by domineering mothers.
    6. Their families often have criminal, psychiatric and alcoholic histories.
    7. They were often abused — emotionally, physically and/or sexually — by a family member.
    8. They have high rates of suicide attempts.
    9. From an early age, many are intensely interested in voyeurism, fetishism, and sadomasochistic pornography.
    10. More than 60 percent wet their beds beyond the age of 12.
    11. Many are fascinated with fire starting.
    12. They are involved in sadistic activity or torturing small animals.


    Nothing about religion. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that it's the cause of all of life's ills.

    I've spent quite a bit of time doing personal study on serial killers. It's a fascinating topic.

    And yes, I do watch Dexter. I can't wait for season 5!!!

    When it comes to spelling and grammar, I'm pretty sure that even black gansta thugs feel bad for you.

    You're going to find that each race corresponds to the lifestyle of the countries/area of origin.



    I don't buy that. The Wiki article has a great list that covers the aspects that make a serial killer:


    1. The majority are single, white males.
    2. They are often intelligent, with IQs in the "above normal" range.
    3. Despite their high IQs, they have trouble holding down jobs, and often work menial jobs.
    4. They tend to come from unstable families.
    5. As children, they are typically abandoned by their fathers and raised by domineering mothers.
    6. Their families often have criminal, psychiatric and alcoholic histories.
    7. They were often abused — emotionally, physically and/or sexually — by a family member.
    8. They have high rates of suicide attempts.
    9. From an early age, many are intensely interested in voyeurism, fetishism, and sadomasochistic pornography.
    10. More than 60 percent wet their beds beyond the age of 12.
    11. Many are fascinated with fire starting.
    12. They are involved in sadistic activity or torturing small animals.

    Nothing about religion. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that it's the cause of all of life's ills.

    I've spent quite a bit of time doing personal study on serial killers. It's a fascinating topic.

    And yes, I do watch Dexter. I can't wait for season 5!!!
