Online Learning Becomes Court-Ordered Community Service

An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo Finance reports that convicted criminal offenders can serve their court-ordered community service hours online by taking educational courses through Community Service Help. According to the article, there is a high correlation between criminal activity and lack of education. Who knew? 'About 40 percent of all U.S. prison inmates never finished high school, and nearly 44 percent of jail inmates did not complete high school. More current data shows that hasn't changed. In Washington, D.C., for instance, 44 percent of Department of Corrections inmates are not high school graduates. Less than 2 percent had 16 years or more of schooling.'"

    Nice theory except it doesn't explain why a white woman is 17 times more likely to get raped by a black man than a black woman is to be raped by a white, or why you are on average 15 times more likely to get robbed by a black than a white. Lets cut the bull folks and speak the truth: 50 years of welfare has been more devastating to the black race than dropping an atomic bomb on them. You went from more than half the households being married to something like 9% now, it gave the lowest of the low an excuse to pop out kids they promptly abandoned or let run wild, and it gave rise to the "thug life!" "culture" which glorifies being the scummiest criminal you can be. Hell look at it, it glorifies the abuse of black women and violence and dope slinging. This when mixed with desegregation turned out to be a disaster because instead of having bankers and lawyers and doctors in the neighborhood to emulate all of those folks got the fuck out and all that was left was dealers and whores.

    Lets face it folks, all a half a century of white guilt did was create a permanent "scum class" with a victim mentality and a seething hatred of anything "whitey" like education or even speaking proper English. I've seen it myself many a time, being hired to play "coming home" parties where getting out of prison is celebrated like you just got out of Harvard. Those that live the "thug life!" are treated well and looked up to, those that actually try to better themselves are attacked by the community. Frankly it shocked the hell out of me, because i'd never seen anything like it with ANY other race. in fact the last figures I saw stated that a black straight off the boat from Africa are more than 20 times more likely to become middle class than a black born here. Now you can scream 'racist!" all you want but it ain't whitey that is creating those numbers or forcing them to embrace victim mentality and "thug life!" culture, that's the blacks. I have been in the poor sections of just about every race and culture you can name and have NEVER seen such an attitude from anybody else, never.
