Corey Winchester, an African American educator who went to Northwestern University to get his college degree, experienced a “microagression” this week on campus and, as a result, decided that he must stand against the racism he sees there.
He detailed what happened in a letter written to the college’s newspaper, The Daily Northwestern. The piece is titled, “Northwestern, check your damn privilege.”
Mr. Winchester now works at Evanston Township High School and is working with the group SOAR (Students Organized Against Racism). According to Mr. Winchester, he and the group of students traveled to Northwestern for a conference; after it was finished, they went to buy lunch on campus.
Then, a “privileged… White, able-bodied, male” went to get food; Mr. Winchester believes that the student cut in front of the line. When asked to move, the student said that since he went to school there and was on a short schedule, he had the right to get food in front of Mr. Winchester’s students. “I’m not moving. I have class and I am entitled to be here,” the student said.
Mr. Winchester declared this action was “racist, classist, and sexist.” He also said that Northwestern was at fault for the sentiments displayed by the students, declaring “the behavior and language of the privileged continues to sustain systems of oppression at NU.”

Some people in contemporary student food court-like cafeterias don’t know you’re SUPPOSED to “cut the line.” For example, if they have meat loaf as the first item of a counter, and you want a hamburger (maybe only because you’re in a hurry), you jump the line in front of meat loaf and go directly to the place on the counter where they have hamburgers. This may look like anarchy, but it actually is quite efficient. But, a racist sees a person of the color that he hates doing this, and the racist thinks, oh, skin color is at work. The racist is only revealing his own inner demons.

No, it was just plain rude. Good luck eradicating that from the planet.
Americans.
Want respect?, Respect your country not some far-off continent you have as much connection to as you do the man in the moon.
Blacks claiming racism has gotten to be as stupid as short people complaining that cities build sidewalks too close to their asses.

Plan your day better. No jumping.
Liberals have raised “Feigned Outrage” to an art form.
Obammy and holders people.
I once cut in-front of a van to avoid back ending someone and when I got back in my lane the van came along side of me and was filled with black prisoners cursing, so I laughed at them.
Meanwhile, we’re not supposed to notice the Knockout Game and numerous incidents of black-on-white rapes, burglaries, beatings, killings, etc.
Black Power
A Done Deal
Fred Reed
October 30, 2014
As I write after Ferguson-
It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the
population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on
governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do.
Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t
do. Their power seems without limit.
Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules
regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be
examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police
forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not
remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established
to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite
high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but
on whether they have the right number of blacks.
Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple or illegal
voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu,
flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or
did Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus? These must be banned or
expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of
them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola
from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks.
We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them - as virtually
everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and
smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the
slums. One might think that a single set of laws should and would apply to
all citizens, and that things should be done without regard to race, creed,
color, sex, or national origin, and that all should have the same rights and
responsibilities. It is, sadly, not so.
The dominance of the media by blacks is impressive. If a white shoots a
black to defend himself, it becomes national news for weeks, or months, and
riots follow. But when blacks engage in their unending racial attacks on
whites, the media demurely look the other way. The attackers are never
black. They are “teens.” Reporters who say otherwise are likely to be fired.
In effect, the thirteen percent censor the national press.
Much of their mastery has become so deeply ingrained as no longer to be
noticed. There is the DC Hesitation. In the bars and restaurants of
Washington, a man weary of an incompetent affirmative-action hire in his
office will, before commenting to a friend, lean forward, lower his voice,
and look furtively over both shoulders to see whether anyone might overhear:
The DC Hesitation. People don’t even know that they are doing this.
Defensive behavior by whites has become nearly universal. A sort of Masonic
recognition-ritual occurs among white people recently introduced in social
gatherings. Is the other person, for want of better terms, a liberal or a
realist? Dare one speak? One of them will say something mildly skeptical
about, say, Jesse Jackson. The other rolls his eyes in shared disgust. The
secret handshake. Or, if the listener is politically correct, the bait is
not taken. In either case, blacks dominate political conversation.
So extreme is the power to control speech and even thought, that politicians
have to avoid mentioning watermelons, or that neighborhoods of high crime
must delicately be called “sketchy” instead of “black,” though all
understand who lives there and what is meant. The avoidance of racial
reference is not an even-handed if despotic attempt to oppose racism since,
as we all know, blacks freely apply any derogatory wording they choose to
whites. In short, they rule. Which is amazing.
The dominance extends to children. When in junior high one of my daughters
brought home a science handout with common chemical terms badly misspelled
in a way which suggested a particular speech pattern. “Is your teacher
black?” I said without thinking. “Daaaaaaady!” she said in anguish, having
made the connection but knowing that she shouldn’t have. Blacks control what
you can say to your own children in your own home. And of course if I had
gone to the school and demanded that the teacher be fired, it would have
been evidence of my depravity and probable KKK membership.
The word “unbelievable” has lost all force. Things that ought to be
unbelievable, and once were, have become routine. Still, there it was: Don’t
expect a junior-high teacher to have the level of literacy I had in the
fourth grade. Instead, make it dangerous to notice their stupidity.
This is not new, and it hasn’t changed. In 1981, in a piece for Harper’s,
I wrote:
“The bald, statistically verifiable truth is that the teachers’ colleges,
probably on ideological grounds, have produced an incredible proportion of
incompetent black teachers. Evidence of this appears periodically, as, for
example, in the results of a competency test given to applicants for
teaching positions in Pinellas County, Florida, cited in Time, June 16,
1980. To pass this grueling examination, an applicant had to be able to read
at the tenth-grade level and do arithmetic at the eighth-grade level. Though
they all held B.A.’s, 25 percent of the whites and 79 percent of the blacks failed.
Similar statistics exist for other places.
Nothing has changed. Blacks now control the presidency and thus, most
importantly, the Attorney Generalship. In this the staggering political
power of blacks is most evident. Obama was elected because he was black: an
equally unqualified and negligible white politician would have had no
chance. He is now fiercely pushing the most profound transformation of
America ever attempted, by opening the floodgates to immigration from the
south. To effect this end he apparently will simply ignore Congress and the
Constitution. The people will not be consulted. Laws will be ignored.
It is hard to imagine why he does it except from racism, from a desire to
get even with whites by enrolling their country in the Third World. A
short-sighted policy, yes, since Hispanics do not like blacks and will soon
be more powerful-but that will come a bit later.
Note that self-inflicted problems of blacks consume inordinate amounts of
public and governmental attention, even though only blacks can solve them. I
might say, “should solve them,” since they never have and we all know they
seem to have no desire to do so. Yet we hear about them endlessly.
Are blacks in Chicago killing each other in large numbers? The solution
might be to stop doing it, might it not? While I do not wish these young
dead, I can do nothing to stop them, and it is not a problem I can solve.
Are black children growing up illiterate? This gives me no pleasure, and I
have various reasons both selfish and moral to wish it were not so. But
perhaps the solution is for their parents, or parent, to see that they do
their homework, or even to teach them. I cannot do this for them, and again
it isn’t my problem to resolve.
Why do I have to hear, endlessly, about the “achievement gap”? Whether of
genetic or cultural origin, it seems as immutable as Avogadro’s number, and
I can do nothing about it. I raise my children. They need to raise theirs.
They rule. It is astonishing.
You were the victim of a “microaggression.” The humanity!
When I go on road trips with the family, and we pull off the highway for a food stop, I often go in first to check out the place. If it's got predominantly black staff and customers, I turn around, get in the car, and go down the highway a bit further.
A couple of black teens did that at the movie theater I was at with my son about a month ago. A manager saw it happens and told them to get at the end of the line. One of the kids yelled,”Racist!” and started walking to the back. As the 2 passed me I looked at the kid and said, “If you have nothing else, cry racist huh?” Just looked at me for a second, and kept walking.
“I feel bad for blacks who have done well and don’t fall for the victim status but instead work hard and do well.”
You’re feelings are misplaced. They hate whites just as much as the ghetto types. They just hide it in public. They’ve learned how to navigate “polite” white society, but the hate and resentment is still there.
Tell you a story....I was driving back home from work one night. Truck Tranny went out...North Tulsa. Pulled into a McDonalds...went in asked four black older guy's if they knew of a Auto Parts store near. One said he did...and he took me there..I bot some Tranny fluid and something I thought might fix it..He was a very nice guy...and did not need to help me.
Turned out...tranny was toast. Called a buddy from work...He came and got me..and I slept in the hospital that night.
So....I hate to be that way. But I'm aware of what is going on around me...and have my head on a swivel.
Be professional, be polite..but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
Corey Winchester is a racist.
Yet another “educator” who is a certifiable idiot...and loser.
Had a similar experience traveling through South Carolina with a friend. Car started giving trouble. First went to one repair shop, and the white guy said he wanted $100 to open the hood. Went down the road to a black mechanic, who did a great job fixing the problem for a very reasonable price.
The problem is, the small-but-significant probability of things going bad leaves me unwilling to take chances with my kids.
The “entire racist college” needs a new group, BOAR.
Black Overboard Accusations of Racism
The can accept all written statements regarding “microaggression.”
I’m sure The Onion would appreciate the new material…
