Right-wingers with persecution complexes and hateons for Obama use shitty, biased sources and misread articles to support their delusional paranoia?

That may be, but they had to get somehow their territories back that they lost in Winter war. The Allies would never let them have Vipuri and other territories, which was not fair toward the Finns.

You know, ace equality and racism works both ways. So all races are equal. Not white people falling over themselves to try and not look racist.
If this is true, then Obama is a twat.


If Hippo posts something about Putin or Obama, odds are that it's wrong.

(vi) reducing the dropout rate of African American students and helping African American students graduate from high school prepared for college and a career, in part by promoting a positive school climate that does not rely on methods that result in disparate use of disciplinary tools, and by supporting successful and innovative dropout prevention and recovery strategies that better engage African American youths in their learning, help them catch up academically, and provide those who have left the educational system with pathways to reentry;
...
(iii) decreasing the disproportionate number of referrals of African American children from general education to special education by addressing the root causes of the referrals and eradicating discriminatory referrals;

Those, I'm guessing, are the passages that are supposed to lead us all to our doom or some such nonsense.


Obama prevented another version of "Separate but Equal"... wait, how's this a bad thing?

Yep. Obama basically blocked another version of "Separate but Equal". Made Hippo mad!

I've been trying to figure this out, I don't have a satisfying answer.

My best understanding of it so far involves making theoretical physicists mad by once again using a partial understanding of one of their things to half-assedly explain something completely unrelated.

But who really cares if theoretical physicists get mad, anyway? So here goes:

I think it's like some sort of Schrodinger's Cat kind of thing where a problem both exists and doesn't exist until someone addresses it. The act of addressing a problem, by some people's reasoning, thereby collapses the possibilities and somehow creates the problem. If we just hadn't noticed there was a problem there wouldn't be a problem (but really, there was a problem, we were just ignoring it...)

Or something.

Oh physics...is there nothing a complete bullshit understanding of won't explain if you shoehorn it hard enough?
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Government is the only way to solve the problem. As for loopholes, they are finite and can be fixed.

The mindset that "big government" is inherently evil and can do no good is a shitty one indeed that creates more problems than it solves.

Whoever said it was only blacks that cause bad behavior? I went to school with well-behaved black kids and there are tons of white,asian and hispanic kids that cause a lot of trouble.
