African-American Education Office: Obama Announces White House Initiative On Educational Excellence

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is creating a new office to bolster education of African-American students.

The White House says the office will coordinate the work of communities and federal agencies to ensure that African-American youngsters are better prepared for high school, college and career.

Obama is announcing his election-year initiative Wednesday night in a speech to the civil rights group the National Urban League as he seeks to rally black voters. Aides say his executive order, to be signed Thursday, will set a goal of producing "a more effective continuum" of programs for African-American students.

The president announced his election-year initiative, the first-ever White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, in remarks to the civil rights group National Urban League Convention Wednesday as he sought to rally black voters.

Aides told the Associated Press that the executive order, to be signed Thursday, will set a goal of producing "a more effective continuum" of programs for African-American students.

Love this not just because it's an important conversation to have, but because of how many heads it'll explode from the camp of white middle class self-appointed leading experts on why racism and the pile of ****fulness left in its wake are nonexistent in today's society.

I would support an office to educate all the mouth breathers that think this is racist because it would be racist to have a white education office.

Definitely the type of behavior you're looking for from the most powerful person in the world in an election season.

He hopes to make political points with his base if Republicans talk about his idiocy.

It's racist because it's treating a certain race differently than other races. "African-American office" is by definition racist.


If Bush would have created a White American education office, would that have been racist?

Re: Obama announces first ever African-American education office

Some people have a very strange definition of what constitutes racism. If establishing this office is 'racist' then I guess I'm just fine with 'racism'.

Obviously people will never agree on the precise definition of the term 'racist'. A more interesting question is why do you find the establishment of this office objectionable?

That is such a red herring and a classic tactic. "Blah blah blah white people couldn't do that, there couldn't be a WHITE entertainment channel blah blah blah." Do I really need to bust out the webster definition of racism for you? Do I really need to explain how there are still people millions alive who remember "whites only" restrooms? So yea, to answer your question, for Bush to have made an office to benefit a race/class of people that has been favored heavily throughout US history and oppressed minorities would probably have been ****ed up. Especially a group of people that has a huge HS and college graduation rate. But it has nothing to do with this discussion. By definition, this office is the exact opposite of racism.

Ok so I'm going to start a business called "White fries" and I'm only going to serve white customers. I guess that won't be racist.
