Sweatin, gruntin, and snortin but really....

Mandatory Spanish!

We are slowing turning in to a country led and dictated by minority interest groups. I remember going to the Mayor's office here in Houston to complain about the mis-handling of funds allocated to Houston Landlords. In other words, "Give Me My @#%&%$@# Money!"

While talking to the receptionist who handled the mayor's appointments, I mentioned that yesterday I watched news coverage about a young hispanic girl who was skipping school and involved in a protest walk right into his office. Yet, myself, a law abiding, working, tax paying citizen can't even talk to him on the way out the door walking to his car. Maybe I wasn't thinking, or maybe the city didn't feel that my subject was important but, I felt that an honest discussion about 7 to 12 million dollars owed by the city to myself and other concerned Texas Landlords was worthy of discourse.

So I can understand why this Texas resident is Pissed at the thought of mandatory spanish classes. Don't get me wrong. I would like to learn spanish myself on a voluntary basis. But, it seems to me that this is another example of appeasement. Rather than establishing a necessary scholastic requirement, the school system once again is attemping to mishandle and misplace monies entrusted to them by concerned tax payers.

Anyway there was very little coverage of how Houston had mis-managed monies intended to be allocated to Houston Landlords. The Feds came in, took the money handed it over to a National Payment Organization and then the story just went away......

And there's very little coverage about the mandatory spanish class story which is also destined to go away.
Read short story.....

Your thoughts on the video?

Where's the True Black Leaders? I'm curious as to whether or not the rest of Black American is content with the current state of cultural affairs. Why are we always sitting ducks for the next Okey Doke? We as a people have learned too well the attributes of our teachers.

When the advertisers said Black on Black crime was on the rise, did you start an increased distrust for Blacks as well? When the parents of the purchasers of rapp (Mostly White American), became outraged at the millions of dollars flowing into the hands of Black artist did you side against them and their freedom of expression as well? And how did they launch the attack on the rappers?....by turning loose the Ghetto pimps screaming that rapp music is destroying the culture.

Yet as the Last Poets once said... "The Revolution won't be televised," ........there's nuthin new under the sun!

I'm interested in your views on Dr. Hare's video. Please take a few minutes to watch it then if you would be so kind...submit a quick vote.

Thanx
