Cornell Teacher: "White People Aren’t as Cool as Black People"
Pundit Press ^ | 4/15/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 04/15/2015 6:39:55 AM PDT by rightistight

According to a teacher at Cornell University, race is a determinant of "coolness."

Yesterday, Dexter Thomas, who is helping teach the course "Asian 1104 "FWS: let's talk about cool stuff, #swag"" at Cornell this semester, wrote an article in the Guardian titled, "Why white people aren’t as cool as black people."

According to Thomas, as opposed to whites, "Black people have an effortless cool about them, almost no matter what they do."

President Obama, Thomas continues, "seems to be the King Midas of political cool. Any topic he touches – whether it’s climate change, rap music, or health care – suddenly becomes hip."

"But this will never happen for Rand Paul, or most other Republicans," Thomas adds. Why? "This is because they’re white – and white people are not as cool as black people," Thomas writes unequivocally.

"Pity the conservatives: they will never win the cool war," he adds.

To be cool, according to Thomas, you must be part of an oppressed minority. "In the United States," he explains, "the most visible and easily understandable population of rejects is black people. This is why the bleeding edge of cool is always black."

Only if judged by a marxist, secular humanist, postmodernist libtard standard of value.

I think we’re back to banning mention of that book on FR again.
At least yesterday, several posts were deleted that had reference to that book and others.

The best part of The Bell Curve are the last two chapters about policy and how to include everyone meaningfully in everyday life.

I was fortunate enough to email Murray about those two chapters and he did expand it into a book.

I learned a long time ago that IQ has little connection to moral capacity, loyalty, fortitude and goodness.

It explains everything you see in the world regarding the various races.

I would pay any amount of money and expend whatever effort is required to avoid looking like this guy.
