you're arguing the issue of what he said which is not what we were talking about. You at least have to own up to being wrong in painting Obama as launching a racial attack here when he was asked to address the issue. You were wrong about the quote, own it or be the one here that's spinning, and you are.
Also if you want to talk about the issue of what he's talking about, it's probably something to do with districting issues and all that where it's arranged so that the hardest living inner city is left high and dry while the surrounding districts have it way better. And he also calls out the inner city people saying they have to do more. All you see is what's wrong with what Obama says. You're the biggest pundit on the board and the MOST willing to spin.
Hugo - up until reading this i never saw the full interview. Either way, his injecting race into it by saying white executives dont want to pay taxes to help inner city kids is pure speculation and nonsense on his part.
As far as education goes, it has nothing to do with money. Its a cultural thing, a parenting thing, and Teachers' unions things, etc. I see these kids every day walking around my hood like little beasts. They are mostly wastes of space and wannabe thugs, harassing business owners, etc. I know of teachers who tell me the most unbelievable things that these kids do. It starts at home, and most of these kids have horrible parents to begin with.
More money does not equal more learning. We spend more money on education and get far worse results than other countries who spend a fraction of what we do.
What we need to do is promote cultural change and not applaud the thug culture in a lot of inner cities. I live in the Bronx so i know a thing or two about the inner city. i have lived in it my entire life.
