:martin: I see you're still regurgitating inaccurate information.




Wrong!

The U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division is the institution within the federal government responsible for enforcing federal statutes prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, sex, disability,religion, and national origin. The Division was established on December 9, 1957, by order of Attorney General William P. Rogers, after the Civil Rights Act of 1957 created the office of Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, who has since then headed the division.

The "My Brother's Keeper" act isn't just for Black youth, but Hispanic youth as well.

"Data shows that boys and young men of color, regardless of socio-economic background, are disproportionately at risk throughout the journey from their youngest years to college and career. For instance, large disparities remain in reading proficiency, with 86 percent of black boys and 82 percent of Hispanic boys reading below proficiency levels by the fourth grade – compared to 58 percent of white boys reading below proficiency levels. Additionally, the disproportionate number of black and Hispanic young men who are unemployed or involved in the criminal justice system alone is a perilous drag on state budgets, and undermines family and community stability. These young men are more than six times as likely to be victims of murder than their white peers and account for almost half of the country’s murder victims each year.

The effort launched today is focused on unlocking the full potential of boys and young men of color"



FACT SHEET: Opportunity for all: President Obama Launches My Brother’s Keeper Initiative to Build Ladders of Opportunity For Boys and Young Men of Color




Narrowed "significantly" is the key word. The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 only reduced the disparity to 18 to 1 (from 100-to-1). It didn't eliminate the disparity entirely.
(Penalties for powder offenses are unchanged.)




"HBCU advocates also point to a restrictive federal loan policy that they say has shut out many families interested in sending their children to historically black colleges. The administration is also getting ready to unveil a new college ratings system that HBCU leaders say could unfairly keep their schools from getting more aid. And when the president recently unveiled a new initiative to pay for community college tuition, he did it without consulting HBCU leaders, who say their schools should also be eligible for help since they also serve low-income students.

The White House declined to comment on the meeting with Black Caucus members. But not everyone at the meeting took offense to Obama’s comments on the performance of historically black schools. “It wasn’t a dig at HBCUs,” said Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL). “We need to direct as much assistance to these schools because what they’re doing is invaluable.”

The Education Department points out that revenue to HBCUs from the federal government decreased during the recession, prior to Obama taking office, and increased across the board during the first two years of his administration. Federal funding of the schools from the Department of Education has increased 40 percent since 2007, including grants for more African American students.


“The administration is strongly supportive of historically black colleges and universities,” said Education Undersecretary Ted Mitchell. “We have been strong supporters in word and deed.”

The nation’s 105 historically black schools, including Howard University and Morehouse College, account for just 3 percent of student enrollment at two- and four-year colleges. Yet they enroll 9 percent of black undergraduates and award nearly 20 percent of the bachelor’s degrees earned by African Americans, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).


Obama started off his presidency on a high note with historically black schools. His stimulus package earmarked millions of dollars for infrastructure projects, academic research and overall operations at black colleges. But budget fights, across-the-board cuts in federal spending and changes in education policy reversed many of those gains.

Supporters of the schools say they have been hit particularly hard by a 2011 decision from the Education Department to tighten lending standards to parents for federal loans covering their children’s tuition. Federal parent loans have a 7.9 percent interest rate, compared with 3.4 percent to 6.9 percent for student loans.

The United Negro College Fund estimates that about 28,000 students at black colleges dropped out during the 2012-13 academic year because their families could not get loans.

After two years of discussions with black lawmakers and educators, the department relaxed the lending criteria. Starting in July, it will only check the past two years of parent credit histories, down from the five originally proposed.

But HBCU administrators say the damage was already done, costing black schools more than $150 million in revenue."

Historically black schools say Obama’s policies have fallen short

what is it with Republicans nut-hugging Ronald Reagan

funny thing is if a Republican followed Reagan's policies today, they'd be considered "not conservative enough"

Reagan is basically the only not terrible Republican President of that century (they can't really rep Teddy Roosevelt).

fukk Obama and his legion of loyal idiots. He rode black people in his first election then ditched us for gays and illegal Mexicans in his second term. He's not the worst president we've had. He's been better than bush but not by much. He didn't repel the Patriot Act. He signed NDAA. Didn't go after BP because his masters in England own the company. His military actions have been sneaky ways of waging wars on nations. This black president killed an African leader in Africa. He's done more for gays and Mexicans than he's done for black people. I cant support that traitorous behavior.

Mike Ditka, Brian Urlacher, I always felt the Chicago 'legends' were racists. Just an instinct.
