I Miss The Concept Of Shame
At risk of sounding old fashioned, if I were a parent and my child were being suspended with such regularity, I’d have questions about their behaviour.
I mean, if my child behaved in such a way as to result in their being suspended no fewer than thirty-seven times, I think I might be embarrassed, perhaps even ashamed. I don’t think I’d regard it as an obvious basis for a political flex or an air of self-righteousness.
While trying to deny other parents a chance to get their own children the hell away from kids like mine.
Lifted from the comments, which you’re reading, of course.
And emulating the ANC, they can and should be expelled by “any means necessary”
And I’m just going to leave this here for no reason whatsoever.
No comment needed:
Get with the program, blacks were the first Britons cruelly displaced by the genocidal yte (BIRM) Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.
Hard to swallow? I find that pill extremely easy to swallow.
I felt compelled to share this.
Maybe they just can’t read the hieroglyphics.
If my child had been suspended that often I would take a long, hard look at my parenting skills.
I once blew up a social group (all upper middle class Canadian suburban lefties, mostly AWFULs) who were banging on about the US being stupid and evil at a gathering. You know, as one does.
One justification for the approbation was the US history of institutionalized slavery. I tended the conversation towards the general consensus that any society that had ever engaged in slavery was de jure illegitimate and deserved only condemnation. Easier than you might think, as Canadians like to pretend Canada never had slavery – which is true in a legal sense; the country was constituted after the British Empire ended the practice, but many “famous Canadians” owned slaves before that.
Having gotten them there, I then asked “…but what about the natives? Because slavery, torture, rape, etc.” Which is when the fun began, because half the group loudly insisted that never happened and was pure white settler propaganda, while the other half tried to explain that it did happen but there were Reasons why it didn’t count. First group turned on the second, and much popcorn was enjoyed.
I don’t know if Steve E is still hanging around here, but the city he and I live in was founded by a native who moved here from the US after the Revolutionary War – along with his black slaves. When you ask them about that at the local history museum they get very pinch-faced.
Something tells me that would almost certainly be racist.
Might I suggest you search out better company?
Besides this joint, obviously.

Meanwhile, over on Reddit, a seasonal question is asked.
Can you tell that I just got back from a 4-mile run around the neighborhood?

I’m going to hold you down and come in your mouth, bitch. Because I like it. But you shouldn’t walk out because I promise that I won’t do it a second time.
Remember when the Ace of Spades blog would begin news items with headers on the line of “It is to be regretted that the thing which I said would not happen in your mouth has eventuated.”
For instance:

David, I hope that comment didn’t approach the line which must not be crossed.

She’s a product of the welfare state.
Democrats Roosevelt and Wilson created the welfare state, which destabilized the black family and led to generations of demoralized people who value neither themselves nor their children. And the Margaret Sanger abortion industry swept in, convincing black women to abort half their children, instead of sticking with one husband and raising them with love. And now the ultra left can use imported replacement islamists as the vanguard of the revolution.
It’s all so depressing. I’m going to pour myself a drink.
“Surprisingly”, it’s actually The Usual Suspects:
As if the constabulary – lacking manhoods to hold, cheap or dear – would risk upsetting the melanated with any hint of disapprobation.
I’m leaving the country; does that count?
I’ve said this a couple of times: Trump won three times because the majority of the US population agrees with him. In Canada, the Liberals have been elected fifteen years running because the majority of Canadians agree with them. It’s not a case of an entrenched elite class oppressing the majority; the majority wants this. The demoralization is complete.
Getting out is the only option.

My sympathies. Uprooting to find an entirely new home is…hard.
When should “I’m going to kill you and your entire family” earn a bullet in the head?
Betcha he is “known to the police”.
This is a special case of a general societal problem: Obvious ferals whose continued presence can only harm us. Career thieves, serial assaulters of random victims, rapists, carjackers, receivers of stolen goods,etc.
Whose armpit? Whose nits?
Yes. Yes, it does. Sorry to see it come down to this. We need a better “hat” than what Canada has become.
Easier than I thought. When I refused to get vaccinated I lost most of my family and friends and I can’t forget that they wanted me imprisoned or forcibly medicated. So I’m not leaving much behind. Learning a new language is going to be a challenge, but I know French and Latin already so Spanish at least comes easily.
Maybe you’re stronger than me: There’s still a big hole where family and lifelong friends used to be. It feels like it will never truly heal although it’s slowly scabbing over. And although one can make new friends, there’s nothing like lifelong ties of blood and friendship; it’s in the bones and in the immense shared experiences.
A talent that I greatly admire and envy.
Does Spanish mean that you are thinking of somewhere south of the USA? Or do you just want to be able to interact well with America’s large population of recent immigrants?
What the left has done to our civilization is unforgivable.
This. And some of the relationships that remain are awkward. Awkward pauses in conversation, awkward expectations, things not said, jokes not told. A certain coldness.
The left loudly proclaimed The personal is political! and so ruined the personal.
(And can there be a more totalitarian battle cry?)
Whose Nits. Band name.
