Won't post the whole article it's so stupid, the headline is bad enough.

DEMOCRATS TRAP BLACK CHILDREN IN FAILING SCHOOLS


Pretty ridiculous. I don't see how using taxpayer dollars to fund private education is a good idea.

3. It's hard to pick a starting point

No, schools aren't getting plenty of money. That's the biggest lie in the entire article.

Black kids drop out for many reasons, not because their needs are not being met. Same is true of white kids and Hispanic kids and well, all kids. It just isn't that simple. And as long as laws allow kids to drop out at 16, then guess what? They will keep dropping out. Anyone concerned about the high drop out rate can start there - make attendance mandatory beyond age 16. How about say - through the end of 12th grade or age 18? Seems simple enough, doesn't it?

I have never before read that black parents are overwhelmingly in support of vouchers. That's a new one on me. I also love what they call them - "opportunity scholarships" - LOL. Yeah, opportunity for WHAT? For their families to go broke trying to afford all the expenses the voucher doesn't pay?

6. Complete list

I especially like the addition of Richard Allen who died 30 some years before the party was founded.

5. That site looked fishy on first glance.

Here's the "links" page:

Republican National Committee

Black Republican Caucus of Palm Beach County (Florida)

The Black Republican

National Federation of Republican Women

FreeRepublic.com

NewsMax.com

That's all of them.
The editor is Frances Rice ...Google that name. It's interesting.

7. Mmm, it was interesting

Someone called her out on plagerism on something she wrote and she lashed out saying they were being racist.

8. Usually these "Afro-Am Republican" websites are run by white people

I couldn't find evidence of that, but Frances Rice sounds like a nut. I bet there's a connection somewhere to the White House to give her the motivation to maintain the site.

That plagerism thing sounds familiar to this admin. I bet they just feed her clippings from the media to post there.
