Right, they will only help...wait...oh I can't decide who this program will help. It should help everyone that needs help right? We can all agree that would be good.

Oh *lightbulb* our awesome policy makers imagined we might have a hard time deciding who needs help. I appriciate that. Them looking out for us and all. They even realized this and decided to take it upon themselves to make it easy for us, god bless there souls. Thoughtful caring people they are. Thankfully they made the program say it will help "African Americans". Whew, glad they did that. I sure couldn't decide.

Remarkable. You can recognize a lame argument unless its your own.

His comes way, way, way closer than your nonsensical argument did though. Still way off.

Re: Obama announces first ever African-American education office

From article:

"In his remarks Wednesday, Obama said he is creating the office "so that every child has greater access to a complete and competitive education from the time they're born all through the time they get a career.""

Cool. Glad to hear the program will help anyone who needs help. Why then, did he even mention African Americans? Qualifying anything by race or skin color is racists. Therefor, Obama is racist.

I actually have no problems whatsoever with this. Racism is totally acceptable.

No.... they can't "fix" lack of education for everybody in the same way. Black people are a large group that is statistically underachieving and it's perfectly rational to try to directly address it.

Agreed.

White people are very temperamental about race. It usually shows itself in the form of outbursts like the general's. It's hilariously tone deaf hence the lol.

Again, this has already explained itt. That's not what racist means. It's a pejorative term that cannot be rational. You can argue the standard definition is wrong or anomalous....but you can't use the word to mean something else.

So you were basically saying his viewpoint is totally invalid, or maybe just a lot less valid, since he a privileged white kid who can't possibly understand the struggle that is slinging crack?

Or something like that?

Like TomCollins said, just make it for poor people of all races. It would still "help" black people but would help others as well and wouldn't be racially discriminatory.
That's "class warfare". why are you for handing out education to the non job creators? Why do you support more leeches sucking the blood out of America?
