Brickbat: Seeing White


The Los Angeles Unified School District has notified parents at Walter Reed Middle School it will face budget cuts because its student population is too white. Under a 1970s court order dealing with desegregation, schools that are less than 30 percent white get more funding. Officials say the school has been above that level for a couple of years.

Nothing a little busing wouldn't cure. Or maybe blackface. Do I have to think of everything?
You don't even have to go through that much effort. Just pencil-whip the documentation.
I joined the Navy back in the early 90's as a Latino despite being a whitebread peckerwood through and through simply because the recruiter needed a Latino to make his quota that month.
This isn't 'Nam. There are rules.
There goes the sanctity of the census!
"Starting today and effective immediately in the interest of the people the United States decrees all Latinos to be black! You will get your Street Cred cards in the mail. Thank you and God bless America's black ass!"
Rachel Dolezal has shown us the way.
Trans-Racialism!
Just have 30% of the kids 'identify' as 'Black'.
"Mu-nigga"
Whitey is the Devil!
gotta pay for those pensions somehow, find me a justification to steal some funds from somewhere else, STAT!
Makes sense. Practically nothing has changed since the 70's. Why should public school funding practices?
Lackey (looking down on clipboard): "Sir, the country is majority...white!"
Scheming President (stroking chin and who happens to look like Obama but isn't): "We'll just see about that!"
tanning booth appointments for everyone!
and some shoe polish...
Steal from the gender movement. Assign half the students to "feel" black on any given day.
Next problem?
What? I am a "native-american! (technically true)
