Martha J. Cutter is a professor of English and African American at the University of Connecticut. Since 2006 she has been the editor-in-chief of MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States and writes a quarterly column for the journal; her current column mediates on the Trayvon Martin Case and the “new Jim Crow”. Her articles on African American literature and mixed-race identity have appeared in many journals and several essay collections.
Well it could be “white privilige”, but equally it might be simple corrupt nepotism. All races can do that.
Not only that, but what is to say that anecdote is even real, that it really happened? We have her word for it. Nothing else.
Hey lady. Trayvon attacked Zimmerman, who was forced to shoot him in self-defense.
How is it possible that you don’t know this?
Oh, right. You’re a low-watt liberal.
Heaven help us.
Have to agree with you.
If this is the kind of informed, independent, and nuanced reasoning that tenure for university and college academics produces, we need to close them immediately.
Then we might get some educators who are actually focused on providing what they are being paid to teach: the knowledge, skills, and abilities that the trained professionals in American business and government need.
Fat chance.
“... and all charges (car and credit card theft, speeding, driving without a license, drug use, and possession of two ounces of pot he planned to sell in Florida) were ultimately dropped.”
I do not believe this bs for a split second. Does her neighbor know and love her enough to pass on this information of corruption between her own father and an unnamed judge and an unnamed police force in Florida knowing any/all would be felonies? I don’t think so.
It’s non-believable.
There’s a lot of it going around - - read Ann Coulter’s MUGGED; it puts it all in perspective with nearly forty pages of footnotes.
bttt
If she keeps her sister’s trophy adoptee off of “Drank”, he probably won’t be out buying skittles and tea (to cover the taste of the dextromethorphan he wants to get high off of), and as a corollary, won’t get hooked into the “gangsta” culture that almost certainly gave St. Skittles the overweening sense of self-entitlement that made him feel he didn’t need to answer to anyone, and therefore her precious nephew won’t commit assault against the guy who asks him why he’s wandering aimlessly in the rain at night, peering into other peoples’ windows.
Whoops, make that “brother’s trophy adoptee”.
No, it's not, Martha, you stoopid c*nt!
It was a set of facts. Which added up to a dead guy on history's ash heap and a massive injustice perpetrated upon the guy who put him there by our nation's cadre of race hustlers, libtards, and retarded academics, such as yourself.
The epic stupidity...
Knowing all the pitfalls of this racist society, why doesn’t she blame her brother for forcing this “trophy child” into such a society. He could have adopted a White child.
Liberals know no shame, nor accept any blame.
The word of a lib/leftist concerning any real event is virtually worthless. That does not mean everything a lib/leftist says is a lie (although as Obama proves they lie as a matter of course), but that everything they say/assert has to be thoroughly vetted. I wouldn’t trust this professor to tell the truth about what she had for breakfast much less some supposedly real event.
She is also as full of sh*t as a Christmas turkey.
So this delusional flake woman believes all whites are privileged like they are in her affluent neighborhood and all blacks are victims?
Very few blacks live in her world. The only ones she knows are affluent like the ones she has seen on the Cosby Show.
She is stereotyping.
I do not believe this bs for a split second. Does her neighbor know and love her enough to pass on this information of corruption between her own father and an unnamed judge and an unnamed police force in Florida knowing any/all would be felonies? I don’t think so.
I don’t believe it either. If he did somehow get off on a technically, she obviously wants to omit the details. She is lying by omission at the least.
