Woah, way to go on the anti-racism campaign.

[URL]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4323979.stm[/URL]

Mr Phillips said a lack of self-esteem and positive role models for black boys also compounded the problem, as well as an attitude that being clever is not cool.

Oh come on, now this idiot is really digging a hole on that one.

Young teenage boys will be young teenage boys, no matter what the colour of their skin is.

Heck, when I was at school there were white kids who thought being 'clever was uncool'

Worst idea ever.

There was a civil rights movement? Why wasn't I informed?

It's like the civil rights movement of the 1960s never happened.

Hmmm yes, this is true.

The Media does tend to influence us too much.

Oh it's bound to make the left-wing headwrongs think differently.

I can't 'cking STAND people who base their opinions on a total lack of thought...

Trevor Phillips is black himself. You did know that, didn't you?

Just wondering if it will make anyone think differently about the proposals.

It shouldn't, but that doesn't mean it won't.

Could that not be a very deliberate move on the part of the source reporting it? Phrase something right, and it will sound as dreadful or as wondrous as the writer wants.

Yeah, it's just the way it sounds, you know?

"Black kids separated from class to learn"

It doesn't, you know, sound equal
