From Bossip:
Congrats!!! #BlackLivesMatter Activist Deray Scores $165K A Year Job With Baltimore City Schools
Educator, #BlackLivesMatter activist and social media sensation Deray has recently landed a job with the Baltimore City School System that could help him buy more blue vests. According to Baltimore Brew reports:
DeRay Mckesson will be settling back in Baltimore as the interim chief of human capital at Baltimore City Schools.
What’s that? Head of Personnel? Meaning, he gets to hire allies and clones of himself to indoctrinate children and build his network?
The Black Lives Matter activist and failed candidate for mayor of Baltimore [he got 2% of the vote] will be earning $165,000 a year as one of the first cabinet picks of Sonja Santelises.
… The 30-year-old became an overnight media sensation during the protests following the police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. As the face of Black Lives Matter, he popped up on CNN, talk shows and other media during the April 2015 Freddie Gray protests in Baltimore.
From The New Yorker:
When I asked Garza about the most common misperception of Black Lives Matter, she pointed to a frequent social-media dig that it is “a gay movement masquerading as a black one.” But the organization’s fundamental point has been to challenge the assumption that those two things are mutually exclusive.

Where is Baltimore getting the tax money to pay its school employees this much?

One city, one program, one payout. Over $837 million of that went to Nick Mosby's Council district.
This is the direction that school districts and state colleges have been going for 30 years, accelerated in the past 15.
It represents a more rapid and intense federal transfer of wealth than ever. And nitwit minor celebrities like "Deray" making fat six figures "managing" "human capital."

OT–a FB comment:
It’s impossible to understand the Brexit vote without understanding the massive influx of immigrants the UK has experienced since the early 1990s. The foreign-born population of Britain exploded from 4.8 to 8.4 million in just the last 15 years. In a nation of 64 million people. This was all a conscious, intended result of Tony Blair’s experiment in massively increasing immigration numbers to force Britain into becoming more multicultural.
We’re seeing the results of that experiment now. Any commentary on Britain which does not mention the unprecedented explosion in immigration to Britain in the past 20 years is dishonest.

TPTB like to put a lot of blacks in school as it supports THE NARRATIVE. It brainwashes kids ata young age that blacks are intelligent and competent, when IRL they are the exact opposite.
One way they do this is by getting lots of black ‘doctors’ in school. Typically dumb and incompetent blacks get called ‘doctor’. It turns out blacks get bog standard BA degrees then do a PhD in education. These tend to be uber leftist, anti-White (((colleges))) where you simply write a Narrative essay. Kids don’t know that and assume ‘dr’ teaching them science actually has a science doctorate. BS.
Dance Moms is a prime example of this. Mother of the incompetent token black kid is ‘Dr Holly’. The other moms are alwats in awe of her, yet she doesn’t strike me as at all bright. Clearly just another smoke and mirrors to get impressionable White girls to worship blacks.

I think you're generalizing too much. I've worked with extremely competent blacks. What happens is that making gross generalizations about all blacks, the media simply has to find someone genuinely competent, and your argument is refuted.
It's very different to assert "most" blacks are incompetent, and "all" blacks are incompetent. Also, there is the argument that affirmative action automatically propels blacks into levels beyond their competence, so under affirmative action, you're more likely to see incompetent blacks than under a genuine merit system. In fact, using genuine merit as a standard, you'll see no more incompetent blacks than whites: you'll simply see disproportionate representation in different categories of employment.
Believe it or not, I see blacks as victims of affirmative action, as well as whites. They may have a bit more income (debatable), but I myself have experienced the discomfort of being in a position for which I was marginally qualified. It's no fun. The satisfaction of doing a job well is one of the most important quality of life factors you can have.Replies: @Bill, @dfordoom

In Bonfire of the Vanities, Reverend Bacon, the Al Sharpton character, enlists the aid of Gay Rights groups to help stage protests against the NYPD and Sherman McCoy. Either this gay and black activist connection is a case of life imitating art, or this trend has been going on for a long time.
BLM was able to side-step the stranglehold that clergy have on black activism by advocating for criminals which for some reason really appeals to black people. Now that BLM has the backing of many blacks and the attention of white media, BLM can promote its homosexual agenda.

It’s a snowclone of ‘Daily Show’, which was a very popular liberal comedy/news show on Comedy Central back when Jon Stewart was running it. They decided a black guy could do the job as well as a Jewish one, and the ratings went downhill. 😉

I think they were trying to do something like that with Stuyvesant and Bronx Science in New York, I forget if it went through or not.
However, low-income students of all races qualify for the programs, so most of the kids who wind up getting offers to a specialized high school are whites and Asians. Since the NAACP filed its complaint in 2012 the number of blacks in the schools has dropped by 34 percent and the number of Hispanics by 22 percent. There would be more blacks and Hispanics in the specialized high schools if New York City would stop all programs.

BLM is just following in the path blazed by the Rainbow Coalition (although I guess that has gay overtones in its name) in shaking down various institutions and corporations in exchange for being exempt from criticism. My guess is DeRay was half hired because the morons in charge of the school system think an administrator of human capital could actually accomplish something and half because he’s not going to criticize the city from the inside.
If DeRay has the slightest bit of intellectual honesty and actually works at his job, he’ll come out of it hating the professional left and what it has wrought in once-great cities. I’m not holding my breath, though.
To be fair, this is a job he was much more qualified for than mayor- he did something similar in Minneapolis and was a lower level admin in Baltimore before. The job would normally be in charge of all the teacher hiring, firing, training and evaluation for a district, so it’s considered pretty important; 165K would be what I would have expected for, say, NYC or LA, and is possibly high for Baltimore, but Baltimore does spend more per kid than any city in the country.
There was an interesting and perceptive if histrionic socialist critique of DeRay and BLM a few months ago:

I don’t think it’s a specifically gay thing, and I don’t think it’s (just) a jobs racket.
I think it is about those privileged blacks who never had to struggle signalling to all their poor brethren that they deserve to lead the community. The reason it’s been as effective as it has (which isn’t much, but better than the usual riots), is that it is mostly rich kids with connections. They feel the need to demonstrate solidarity with the thug life, but of course don’t know how to do that other than rail at whitey. This precisely because they are culturally mostly white. So they will obviously include a ton of further grievance-mongering as that is the primary status vehicle of white academic life. Hence, all the LBGT identification, the very non-ghetto accents, the driving of porsches whinging about insults from pickup trucks.
The black community has its own power struggle happening, parallel to the class struggle happening on the white side. The question is, who wins? The traditional clergy-based good-old boys, or the young turks with their funny haircuts, homes in Breckenridge, and penchant for dick.
There is also the divide between older, more religious blacks and the newer movement which is largely secular / atheist.
Jason Whitlock has made this criticism of BLM repeatedly, for example in his ongoing beef with Shaun King.

In the conversation the student tried to orally denote
[sum of diagonal elements of a matrix] as “Trace”.
There is Russian word denoting the same mathematical object,
literal translation of "Trace": “След”.
Since most mathematical terminology in Russian came from German language,
most textbooks and technical papers use the abbreviation “Sp”
from a German word “Spur”, also of the same literal meaning. **)
Shapiro listened to student saying “Trace” several times, and then exploded:
Why are you pushing your “Trace” in my face,
When there is honest Russian word “Spur”!
Что Вы ме всё тычете “Трейс” да “Трейс”,
когда есть честное русское слово “Шпур”!

*) It is clear as a day

of Russian priority in all sciences tried to use “След”.Replies: @International Jew

I think it is about those privileged blacks who never had to struggle signalling to all their poor brethren that they deserve to lead the community. The reason it's been as effective as it has (which isn't much, but better than the usual riots), is that it is mostly rich kids with connections. They feel the need to demonstrate solidarity with the thug life, but of course don't know how to do that other than rail at whitey. This precisely because they are culturally mostly white. So they will obviously include a ton of further grievance-mongering as that is the primary status vehicle of white academic life. Hence, all the LBGT identification, the very non-ghetto accents, the driving of porsches whinging about insults from pickup trucks.

Yeah, the “Hamilton! the Musical” crowd finds itself in a tenuous social position vis-a-vis the society at large, as well as other blacks. They have to convince white people that they’re worth listening to and inviting to Aspen Ideas (http://c8.alamy.com/comp/EWT177/aspen-colorado-usa-30th-june-2015-ta-nehisi-coates-senior-editor-for-EWT177.jpg ), which can only work if racial oppression is a constant mortal danger. But they also have to convince black people that they’re the right ones to be speaking for them, which, given the craptastic results (http://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/original-size/images/2015/11/blogs/graphic-detail/20151128_woc522_290.png ) from most of this Mau-Mauing, is a challenge in itself.
I’m not sure that it will all fall apart all that quickly, though. The Aspen Ideas folks seem to feel that the Victim Olympics is the best bread and circuses they could hope for.
Here for example, is Samantha Power, one of the most powerful people in the world, talking to graduating Yale students, some of the most privileged kids in the world, about how hard they and she have it:

The entire Left is a gay thing.
And they don’t need to make children. They have yours.
It is a case of life imitating arts. Soros or an associate probably got the idea from the book. The black church didn’t approve of homosexuality especially during the 80s AIDS epidemic and has been pretty openly hostile to homosexuality until recently. Black gays have never been organized in any manner to do anything anyway except put a vogue show. White homosexual groups certainly weren’t going to put blacks in leadership roles.
BLM was able to side-step the stranglehold that clergy have on black activism by advocating for criminals which for some reason really appeals to black people. Now that BLM has the backing of many blacks and the attention of white media, BLM can promote its homosexual agenda.
Groups tried to get the New York state legislature to change the entry requirements to New York City’s eight specialized high schools but failed. Instead New York City just announced that it will spend an additional $15M on outreach, tutoring, and enrichment programs for low-income students to “diversify” the schools.
However, low-income students of all races qualify for the programs, so most of the kids who wind up getting offers to a specialized high school are whites and Asians. Since the NAACP filed its complaint in 2012 the number of blacks in the schools has dropped by 34 percent and the number of Hispanics by 22 percent. There would be more blacks and Hispanics in the specialized high schools if New York City would stop all programs.

For some reason the title Dr. is very impressive to blacks and they never worry about how it is obtained. I would say anywhere from a third to a half of black clergy who call themselves Dr. have a bogus doctorate, either from a diploma mill or an honorary doctorate. A lot of them don’t even have bachelor’s degrees or have never gone to college at all.
As mentioned most blacks in education. like Dr. Holly from Dance Moms. have EdDs, not PhDs.

That’s highly confusingly written, because it’s supposed to be about misperception but then they say the perception is true. Then it turns out that the misperception is about blacks and gays not getting along, but that’s not what the conversation was originally about. So I don’t know if anything’s revealed. I feel less informed for having read it.
Journalists have to get away from the “common misperception” trope.
The MSM can’t really run with the story very far because it involves Epstein and it would mean implicating Bill Clinton and other prominent elites that the MSM supports and favors. A sort of MAD principle operates here. They’d rather go after the Trump University and mean statements about women and Mexicans stuff, even though they’re relatively trivial compared to these other allegations. Even if we assign a low probability to the allegations, the “expected value” of the allegations, that is the probability times the gravity of the allegations, is so much higher and more serious than if we assumed that the probability of Trump being mean to women and Mexicans were 1 or close to it.

I think you're generalizing too much. I've worked with extremely competent blacks. What happens is that making gross generalizations about all blacks, the media simply has to find someone genuinely competent, and your argument is refuted.
It's very different to assert "most" blacks are incompetent, and "all" blacks are incompetent. Also, there is the argument that affirmative action automatically propels blacks into levels beyond their competence, so under affirmative action, you're more likely to see incompetent blacks than under a genuine merit system. In fact, using genuine merit as a standard, you'll see no more incompetent blacks than whites: you'll simply see disproportionate representation in different categories of employment.
Believe it or not, I see blacks as victims of affirmative action, as well as whites. They may have a bit more income (debatable), but I myself have experienced the discomfort of being in a position for which I was marginally qualified. It's no fun.

RonaldB, your ignorance of background facts, common internet abbreviations, and rudimentary reading comprehension skills is something you should hide not flout prominently in comment after comment. Shut up. Read. For internet abbreviations, I suggest the urban dictionary (which, indeed, has an entry for TPTB). For other internet lore, there is Encyclopedia Dramatica. If, at the end of a good faith effort to figure this stuff out, you still don’t know what’s going on, then your best bet is a polite request for information. (Polite entails no bitching. Compare your regrettable behavior with Immigrant from the former USSR’s)
When someone says that blacks are unintelligent and incompetent (in the context of a discussion of US politics/society), he means that, in general and on average and compared to US whites, US blacks are incompetent and unintelligent. If your reaction is “then he should say `in general and on average compared to whites’ each and every time,” then you have Aspergers and should seek treatment.
Which is more likely, that Adolphus is evoking exactly this argument (in addition to blacks’ inborn differently-abled-ness), and you have misread him or that you’re pouring some knowledge on him right now?

Triumph, Buffalo has City Honors HS, ranked as high as #1 in NYS in past years, and still in the top 100 in the USA . City Honors is a test in school with very few black students in a city that is majority black. The DOE stepped in and demanded that CH work on a plan to admit more qualified black students. They tried and the end result is actually fewer black students. One proposal was to open another CH-lite for those kids who just missed out on getting a prized seat at CH. A review of those who almost made it showed that the majority were still not black. The new superintendent of BPS proposed admitting blacks who just apply to CH as a solution. Of course those kids will do well when they sit in class in a stupor. Buffalo is a revolving door for School Superintendents, the last four of which were black, all with Ed.,PhDs. One, Pamela Brown, was so dysfunctional that they brought in a mentor to teach her how to be a school super. Her mentor brought in three more assistants to help her. None of the assistants were qualified under NYS ED to hold their positions. The super made 200K plus, her mentor 200k plus and the three assistants 160k plus. Buffalo has a yearly school budget of almost one billion. Detroit had a school board president who was functionally illiterate and who masturbated while seated at his desk talking to the female school super. Cleveland’s school super fled town under a cloud, and went to Chicago (Rahm hired her) and was indicted and took a plead deal to federal corruption charges. Detroit has an ongoing scandal involving 19 principals who took cash payments in lieu of school supplies being delivered to their schools. Atlanta had their testing scandal. There is one thread running through all of these stories. Vibrancy. Maybe DeRay will be good at his job. With Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and DA Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore hasn’t set the bar too high.
That’s assuming you accept the “born this way” genetic explanation for homosexuality, an explanation for which there is zero scientific evidence. It’s possible that homosexuality is entirely cultural. Or that it’s caused by some pre-birth trauma. Or there’s even Greg Cochran’s gay germ idea.

It all started when a black female student complained about a white male student using an ethnic slur. The school says that the white kid was disciplined, but it wasn’t enough for the girl and her parents; this attitude only manifested after two other students posted a YouTube video. Interesting footnote is the that mother of the complaining student is a Latin alumna from the short period of time that Latin was under an affirmative action decree, and her daughter is a legacy.

These students don't get into BLS even though they are very bright. Meanwhile blacks and Hispanics at majority-minority elementary schools are getting A pluses.

If you accept the “born this way” theory then you have to accept that you will always get 2% of kids turning out to be homosexual. If it’s mostly just a cultural thing, driven by fashion, then in some populations you might get 5% homosexuals while in others you might get fewer than 1%.
