Okay, how many time can you push dirt around and fool the folks that you are building something? It only took months to build dorms for almost every college and university in the city, but the southside...time. Yes, let's give Mayor Richards credit for land stolen and given to Ivy Tech to build a specialized school for training police and fire fighters. It sure would have been nice for the school to offer more subjects, for those residents who live close to the "Centre."
But no, the city brags, folks are going to be coming in from 12 different counties to attend "coercion force training", that means the majority attending with be raced white men singing this land was made for you and me. And raced others will be singing, they trying to wash us away. If you think homeland security training include us...think Katrina, N.O.
Excuse me, but you have a huge number of young folks and returning adults that would love to attend a learning institution closer to their neighborhood. OOPs, I forgot the majority of African-Americans and Latinos live in the area, and the city does not want to include them in higher learning. Especially when they are struggling with the "brain drain" of raced whites in the city.
You could use some HIGHER LEARNING yourself. Your grammer is horrible!
ReplyDeletewell maybe, but anon. has a spelling error, too, right in the above comment. more interesting is the question of zoning, building, what for whom.
ReplyDeleteThanks, but as Dr. King, Jr. said, your verbs and nouns don't have to agree, for you to understand what I'm saying.
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious I have higher learning or this blog wouldn't generate personal attacks.
But, anytime you want to offer any editing of my comments, I will gladly go back and correct any errors. I write because I can.
Gee, and here I thought ALL those boomcar-driving, drug-dealing, blunt-smoking, malt liquor swilling, trash-tossing, loud-mouthed annoying people I have living around me WANTED to learn...what the heck was I thinking????
ReplyDeleteAll of them *could* learn THREE words, live by them, and be better off....they are:
1) RESPONSIBILITY
2) ACCOUNTABILITY
3) INTEGRITY
Oops, but that means LEARNING...and they apparently can't be bothered with that...they'd much rather sue the city for something...anything that can get them something ELSE for nothing.
Dr. King had a dream...these folks make it a nightmare.

ReplyDeleteForming coalitions with Latinos is a great idea. Women groups did it during the civil war movement..
Latinos are not displacing African-Americans, employers are choosing cheap laborers..I think you would call it the free market. You give a Booker T. Washington, drop your bucket here and hire those who need jobs. African-Americans say government require companies to pay a decent pay for a decent days work.
I never said they were my better friends, but the majority are living in low-income neighborhoods.
Southside:
REsponsibility, Accountablility, and integrity...these are behavior traits that many individuals have, you are selecting some images that you believe are illegal or inappropriate. It happens.
