"Minorities earn less than white people because they don’t work as hard and have less initiative"


Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, said in an interview with the Tulsa World concerning taking a plan to ban Affirmative Action to voters.

“We have a high percentage of blacks in prison, and that’s tragic, but are they in prison just because they are black or because they don’t want to study as hard in school? I’ve taught school, and I saw a lot of people of color who didn’t study hard because they said the government would take care of them.”

Kern said women earn less than men because “they tend to spend more time at home with their families.”

9. I wish she would actually do a study as to why so many young
african americans go to prison, maybe she would learn something. When I see a politician use that fucking lame excuse...it sends my blood pressure up up up.

Nice catch JCMach1.

43. People forget about the "Red Line" Real Estate Getto-ization of America
"Gee, why don't Black people have lots of pretty houses in nice neighborhoods? That must prove their inferiority."

Generation after generation has to be reminded of all of the ways racism warped and twisted the healthy development of human society.

66. Absolutely
people forget about that among many others. One solution to this problem is that it's time we speak openly about not just racism but slavery. I believe that in time if we started talking of WHITE slavery too, might help us to deal with creating non people out of people.

28. Yeah we could and you'd be surprsied by the nunber of
JEWS in that list.

I will tell you something... intelligence and success have a lot more to do with EDUCATION and Culture than RACE.

In fact, you do know where Humans evolved at right? YOU DO KNOW THIS RIGHT?

Yes, you are a black man too.

(Shhh, google RIFT VALLEY and evolution)

Them dog whistles are not that silent no more.

on intelligence? I am just guessing that is what you are trying to state. Correct me if I am wrong.

46. environment does have an impact
take a kid who is doing well in an affluent suburban high school and make them live in the ghetto for a year and go to school in the ghetto and their grades will likely plummet.

39. So have hispanics. sadly both have nothing to do with
what she said. You can try to hide her obvious racism all you want to...no one on this board is going to believe one word without data and facts to back up any such claims. On the surface she sounds like a racist and has no grasp of history. Two generations is a nice faint, but still has nothing to do with what she said is total bullshit.

The GOP is a racist organization to begin with. Even if not all rethugs are overtly racist like her, they support racist policies designed to keep minorities in check.

16. Asians earn more than whites...
guess whites just don't work as hard is why. Actually, quite a few whites actually believe that is the real reason. They may be right to a degree too. Culture certainly is a factor in things like economic success. Dividing culture by race is kind of stupid though.

Almost unreal the way her district looks capturing a good part of Bethany OK (bumps up against OKC), a town founded by Nazarenes where even in the 70's a woman could not wear pants or a miniskirt on the street. Southern Nazarene University is right in the middle of it.

Edited on Thu Apr-28-11 01:18 AM by bongbong
Ironically, her complaints about "not studying hard" don't really apply to African-Americans.

They apply to her. She's a brainless idiot talking about sociology. I'll bet $10 she can't even spell the word sociology.

Her wide-eyed gaze doesn't really say "I studied this issue and have come to the conclusion African-Americans are less capable."

Rather, it says "I'm scared to death of uppity ni**ers!"

Bigotry, bias and stereotypes in defense of inaction on social problems are wrong.
