Why do you always make up things and interject them to try and hijack threads? Is there something mentally wrong with you? You do this crap all of the time.
I made this thread because it is flat out ridiculous to reward kids for something that they shouldn't be rewarded for in the first place by bribing them to do something that they are required to do. I don't care what color they are.
Thanks for turning it into a racial thread though, I expected nothing less from you.

Scalabrine's words everyone, not mine.

Get off your moral pedestal before I kick the leg out from under it...
You are WRONG beyond all conception...
Delayed Gratitude
How about the concept of going to school because:
1. You want to get a good job???
2. You want to have kids and provide for them???
These things are NOT provided BEFORE you attend class...
What about all the people who make donations to charities anonymously??? Yes, people do donate to charities WITHOUT being PAID to do so.
HERE is an example on YOUR level...
What about the guy that pays for the movie and dinner in expectation of getting laid and does not even get a kiss??? Should guys always demand the box before the date???
Doing what you should do BECAUSE it is what you should do... IS NOT WRONG...
Children should go to school BECAUSE that is what they should do...
Ever notice how farmers plant crops BEFORE the harvest and they are PAID for the produce???
Please, Please Scab... Tell me how WRONG my examples are, show everyone just how pathetic you are...

You labeled a city as Black. You hate white people who hate black people.
Please tell me how that doesnt make you a racist?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but can facts be racist? Detroit is 80% black. Check. Free shoe giveaway in Detroit. Check. Undoubtedly the overwhelming majority of those receiving free shoes will be black by default (from your math model of 80/20). Check. I'm not seeing how this is racist if it is a FACT.

I feel like an idiot. All those years I went to school and didn't any free shoes, clothes, pencils, pens, paper, binders, etc.
I should have held out for more like an NFL or NBA player.

WRONG. The company is paying for them.
The school district will hand out vouchers to every child in every grade, which could add up to 14,000 to 17,000 pair of shoes. “We know this is a great cause for the community, it’s something that needs to be done,” Dorsey said, adding he’s not worried about the cost of all those shoes because “it’s about educating our kids.” And for every 8 black kids that receive shoes, 2 non-black kids will receive shoes. Dope. |

All this is a sham to maximize their funding. Example: On Oct. 3rd, they have 100,000 kids in school. That's how their funding is determined. After that, plenty will drop off. Maybe they have 98,000 instead. So they are getting funded on 100,000 enrollment when it's really 98,000.  |

To maximize funding for next year. That's it. It's a one day gig only. Certainly it will help the kids who go to school, but it does NOTHING to solve the problem re. the kids that don't go to school. |

And still, after 5 months (and now Slovak is included in that 5 months as well), you have not posted a single link from the entire internet refuting the Sanford police report and every major news website that he was something other than a white male at the time of my posting.
I'm STILL waiting for that link from either of you, or any of the other tens of thousands of covers members to link it here.
I said it before and I'll say it again: It was documented several times in the police report that Trayvon Martin was a Black male and that George Zimmerman was a white male! That is why the world thought the way they did. I'm also still waiting for you to show me the link that refutes that police report when you came in my thread.
5 months and counting...

I guess you don't know Slovak too well. He was boxed when you were around.
I could show you some of his quotes about how things get very racial with him when it comes to Blacks.
Essentially Fox News feeds off the much animus of white racial resentment, yet you will not here them utter a single racial slur in an entire broadcast and likely never will.
But anyone who believes race is a total nonissue for them with Obama as President is fooling themselves.
Of course, when major watchdog sites say this about Fox, they shriek away in horror at such a thought! Them! No, it is the watchdog site that is making it racial they'll contend!!!
That is how Slovak works (although he's not even close to as bad as Fox News). He shrouds many of his posts in the form of a conversational topic, but at their core, he's actually talking about race. And he is free to do so. But I am the only one here who is willing to call him out on it, especially when he wants to start threads whipping his covers bigots up into a frenzy (and they are all here, with their codified replies as well).
All in a day's work and I have no problem doing it... |

When you say the words, Detroit, Camden or even 'inner city', you are saying 'Black' for all intents and purposes to the average white bigot (especially on this site) because that is a racial buzzword for them.
The GOP candidates did it all the time during the debates. Whenever they spoke of Obama, they made sure words like "welfare" and "lazy" came into the conversation at times. This was of course, their way of sending out the message to their constituent base that a White president would work for them while a Black one was failing and was only interested in redistribution of wealth to the Black community period (many Whites still believe this regardless. 'Deficits' aside, that is part of the outrage at Obamacare). It worked perfectly for Newt Gingrich in South Carolina.
Those words, like Detroit, sneaker giveaway, welfare etc. are just words and of course some Whites will be a part of that. But that doesn't take away from the OP's intent. You only need to look at his body of postings to understand where his head is at and how those words are a dog whistle to other bigots on the site.
Just look at the 3rd post (3 posts in!). If you think Goose made that 'joke' giving equal weight to Whites ambush Whites for sneakers you are foolish. He knows what he was saying and so did Slovak.
But you've already proven yourself to be foolish on this site anyhow. |

Yes, this entire thread is about the benefits of delayed gratitude.

Camden? Don't even know what that is.
So if there is a murder in Beverly Hills, then that means that it had to be done by a white person? You are a real boob scally.
I made this thread because I don't think that it is right to reward children for something that they are supposed to do. And also note that no racial remarks were made until after you decided to throw in your 2 cents(which was not needed)
