Yes,and so are these white schools out here. We are the only ones that is being made to follow the rule on a national scale.
The video you presented indicated to me it was State specific.

I didn't say it wasn't,I said it's practiced depending of who you are and where you live. I'm not where you are at,But I do, and have been put in a position to see how schools in black communities are treated vs schools in white communities.
But once again,based on our different perspectives, lets agree to disagree on the point. You're going to continue to think that the letter of the law is adhered to by all, and I'm going to continue to go on what I actually see practiced,which tells me not all are following the law. There can be no meeting of the minds this way.
I did not state that the letter of the law is adhered to by all.
I simply stated that when you accept money from the government, expect to be regulated.
Thank-you for allowing me to clear up this confusion.
Laws are broken all the time
.
Law is the will of the political power holder.
Is the law being applied unfairly? Perhaps.
But the more important issue in my mind is how can I get out from under the authority of the political power holders?
It is possible. It will take much work. It won't be easy, but I think one embarking on such an endeavor would be happy with the results.
This doesn't negate the possibly that they may come after you either.
The question then becomes is the juice worth the squeeze?
One either has to do something and prepare for the repercussions or sit down and enjoy the bus ride.
I don't know about you, but enjoy doing as I please (within reason). I'd rather accept the burden of self-responsibility and taking care of myself than being under the control, direction, and "protection" of someone else.

Following you logic, all who break the law should get punished the same. These laws are on paper, but do all get punished equally? If your answer is no, then why are you applying the same logic to all laws thinking they all are applied equally and adhered to?
Given you first assertion was inaccurate, this subsequent assertion is based on the initial inaccuracy. I shall address this however.
Law serves the establishment. You can agree to that, yes?
The supposition is that our government is based on the rule of law and not the rule of men, yes?
You and I both know that supposition is false to some degree.
You and I both know that courts and their laws are not applied equally.

I thought I said what the solution was. If not then here it is, we need to fund our own schools. But you are forgetting one point,we all pay taxes. Why is it that whites pay taxes and get away with things like this. We pay taxes,but if we want our own schools,we have to fund them ourselves? Do you see my gripe?
Peace!
I do see your gripe as well as agree with it and understand you.
Also understand, Caucasians are typically the one seated in school boards, city councils, legislatures, court houses, and law enforcement.
I'm saying the situation is not as hopeless as it seems. There is a tremendous amount of power each individual has to act in their own interest of themselves as well as those they care for.
In a situation such as this, one person won't be able to do it alone to make meaningful change, but that individual can do for self despite organized opposition. Now if enough of these individuals come together and act, meaningful change can occur on a large scale.
