Teabaggers Are Racists

There is a story going around about some Philadelphia teachers who have filed a racial discrimination lawsuit.

The plaintiffs in the suit are 4 black Philadelphia teachers.

The plaintiffs allege in a federal court race-bias suit that a white principal suggested the 4 black Philadelphia teachers were unfit to teach white students.

Huh? You have to be kidding.

Nope.

The 4 black teachers teach (or try to teach) at one of those predominantly white "flight" schools on the city's West Falls neighborhood.

The principal at the high school had the gaul to tell these black teachers that "black teachers do not have the ability to teach white non-Africa American students.

This white principal's discrimination also included undermining the black teachers with random reprimands, sudden changing room assignments and letting the white teachers break the rules with no ramifications.

This white principal must be a member of a Tea Party. You reckon this story will be told in the state controlled media?

Read the story on the following website:

(I wonder if these 4 black teachers can do anything about dyslexia too?)

I always thought that tea partiers lived in a looking glass world where up is down and black is white. Now I know.
12 months ago: Teacher without union? I don't think so.

The union must not want to help black teachers. They're racists too.

What is a "looking glass world"?

12 months ago: I see what could be considered racism. What I don't see in your screed is any connection to the TEA Party. Why did you feel the need to slander those folks? I find it hard to believe that if there were a documented connection between the principal and the TEA arty, you would have mentioned it.

Or are you more interested in slandering your political foes than in telling the truth?

Over to you.
12 months ago: Bad.

Did you click on the link and read the article?

I'm still reading your comment again trying to figure out if you are likewise being sarcastic.

Did you read the article?

12 months ago: RSG asked "Did you read the article?"

Yup. Did a word search in it. Could NOT find mention one single mention of the TEA Party anywhere in it. In point of fact the only use of the word "party" was in a comment by one JohnBrown@Harper'sFerry where Mr "Brown" referred to the DEMOCRAT party

I am NOT being sarcastic or ironic or any such.

Now, kindly advise us why you saw fit to mention the TEA Party in the title of a Rant about an incident where the source material had ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF it? In what skewed, bizarro universe is such considered honorable or legitimate?

12 months ago: In the same world where everything in the post is the opposite of the referenced article.

Some people would call this reverse discrimination, but it's not. It's just plain old discrimination. And it happens quite regularly. I actually heard, with my own ears, a high school administrator that was sitting at a conference table with nine other African Americans and five Caucasians say "There are just too many white faces sitting around this table today."

And you know what? She was entirely within her rights to say so. Do I agree with her? No, I thought it was a completely racist and mean spirited thing to say. Should she have lost her job over it? A resounding NO would be my answer.
12 months ago: Bad.

Kindly understand first that I never, ever have suggested I am honorable or legitimate or have any redeeming qualities. Never. I reckon noone here at rantrave.com has either.

I can honestly say though that you are getting the point. The problem is it is not registering.....or is it?

12 months ago: RSG. The only ting registering with me is that you appear to be a purveyor of scrofulous lies.

I am here. I am honorable. I am honest. Or do you contend otherwise?

For the record, I agree most heartily with the TEA party. And yet I am not a racist. Were I such, I would not be able to accept my own daughter - full-blood Japanese. Nor my son-in-law - about as Mexican as you can get. Nor my 2 anglo/black (like BHO) nieces and their brother. Nor my hispanic/black nephew. Nor my black niece. Nor my 8-month-old Japanese/Mexican grandson whom I have cared for since he was 5 weeks old.

How could I love those family members and be racist?

Or is it YOU who are the bigot? You who make utterly unfounded accuzations against people whose only "crime" is to disagree with you?

Hmmmm?

Red's a Tea Party member. He was trying to demonstrate what the reaction would have been, had the shoe been on the other foot. As the story actually went, it didn't recieve very much coverage. Had it been a white principal and four black teachers, he would have been accused of being TeaPartying racist.

Get it now?

12 months ago: Then his choice of subjects was terrible. A forum such as this is a poor place for irony.

BTW, this is not the first time RSG's posts looked like those of a progressive. I wouldn't put him more than a point or so to the right of Teddy Kennedy.
12 months ago: BC.

Are you being sarcastic......again?

BTW, it would be fun to shake your hand and pat you on the back sometime.

Need a good lawyer cousin Buck RED?
12 months ago: Sorry for the off topic...or not so off the topic...

I love it when Tea Partiers are called racists for wanting to stop millions of BLACK baby abortions by Planned Parenthood. I get a good laugh when the rebuttal is our only reason is our need to produce more slaves.
12 months ago: Nuts isn't it?
12 months ago: Indeed.
