"Yeah, they kind of make their way around sometimes."

Gee... I wonder who the "they" in that sentence refers to.

Keep filming, keep shaming. Let these mother****ers show their true self to the light of day.

First black valedictorian in Rochester, NY high school's history isn't allowed to give graduation address

Quote:

Jaisaan Lovett stands before two marble columns, ready to deliver his graduation speech more than a week after his graduation.

He is wearing a crisp mortarboard, a blue robe and a yellow sash reading “Valedictorian” — a groundbreaking distinction: Lovett was the first black student to leave University Preparatory Charter School for Young Men as the top academic performer since the school’s founding in 2010.

His school decided — under mysterious circumstances that it yet has to explain — that he could not deliver his address, and the June 22 graduation came and went without its valedictorian’s remarks.

The mayor stepped up to let him make a speech at City Hall

Quote:

“Unfortunately, Jaisaan’s school did not allow him to give his valedictorian speech,” the mayor said in a video circulated on the city’s YouTube, Facebook and Twitter accounts. “For some reason, his school — in a country where freedom of speech is a constitutional right, and the city of Frederick Douglass — turned his moment of triumph into a time of sorrow and pain.”

Quote:

“To Mr. Munno, my principal, there’s a whole lot of things I’ve wanted to say to you for a long time,” the valedictorian said in the video published July 2. “ … I’m here as the UPrep 2018 valedictorian to tell you that you couldn’t break me. And I’m still here, and I’m still here strong.”

Quote:

Warren told The Post that Lovett’s parents and the student were not given a reason for the school’s decision.

Black homeownership stuck near 30-year low

Quote:

But the holy grail of homeownership remains elusive. Forty-three percent of blacks owned homes in 2017, according to an annual report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. In contrast, 72 percent of whites did, a gap that has mostly widened during the past three decades.

Quote:

The gap persists even as African Americans have experienced other major financial gains since the downturn. The unemployment rate for black workers dropped to 5.9 percent in May, hitting a record low. African Americans’ wages have risen as much as the average since 2008. But when it comes to homeownership, one of the pillars of building wealth, black households are worse off than they were 30 years ago.

“We haven’t made any progress in homeownership since the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968,” said Nikitra Bailey, an executive vice president with the Center for Responsible Lending, a nonprofit that researches abusive lending practices. “The little progress we did make has been wiped away by the foreclosure crisis.”

That "black while swimming" video is infuriating. I'd think any officer that wasn't also a racist piece of **** responds with "hey [white guy], take a break from the pool for the rest of the day and if I ever hear about you harassing people like this again I'll come out and arrest you."

Happy the guy got fired though.

Eh, I don't tilt that easily. It is definitely a good way to get slowrolled though.

Nah the real sick brag would have been if I got this slowroll in (this happened about 50 times in my mind but none in real life). He nitted it up all day then got 50 BBs in AKo vs KK. It was this guy. Sick timeline!

started to feel a little bad for the guy when I saw his little kids and now he's basically going to be unemployable for, I don't know, forever? Then I remembered that this is a man who VOLUNTARILY sits on his HOA board and has been Pool Commissioner or whatever for like SEVEN YEARS. Hahahahahah **** him forever!

Kids on video at MAGA Montana rally. Great job Mom.

“We don’t want Mexicans. No.” “The Mexicans are coming over here and over populating us.”

I don't understand why HOA even exist. Was it that bored, power-hungry people left their exec positions but missed pushing people around and being sociopathic *******s so they created HOA?

On my block there are a few people who complain about whatever construction project, someone parking in front of their house, who took too long to put their trash cans away - w/e. HOA would be a nightmare.

IMO it's the people who never had the talent to reach the exec positions but still have all the sociopathy.
