Black students at Pomona College demand hiring of sociologist be rescinded because she is white

According to the ethos of black students at Pomona College, one of the nation’s most competitive (and expensive) small liberal arts colleges, white people cannot legitimately study and write about black criminals. Tony Airaksinen of Campus Reform writes:

Students at Pomona College have published a demand letter urging administrators to rescind their offer to hire Sociology Professor Alice Goffman because she’s white.

The “Letter to the Pomona College Sociology Department,” published last Friday argues that by hiring Goffman, the administration has neglected their commitment to promoting diversity and supporting women of color.

“This practice is detrimental to Pomona’s goal of supporting students of color.”

The collective of “Sociology students, alumni, and allies” open their letter by expressing their “anger” and “concern” regarding Goffman’s hire, calling it a “failure” to address the lack of professors of color on campus....

Maybe they would be happy with racially-segregated schools?

"White people cannot legitimately study and write about black criminals" Because what's criminal to white people is culture to black people. Ping that diversity!

I edited a couple books on Hong Kong history and someone asked why I did it. The person asking me claimed that only Hong Kong people could understand (and write) Hong Kong history. I just ignored that person.

Can’t Dr. Goffman settle all this by “self-identifying” as “black”?

Neither are they allowed to buy, eat, and cook ANY foodstuffs and drink sold by/grown by/packaged by WHITE PEOPLE!
= = =

And, following your lead, Not allowed to breathe white air!

Which leaves black air ... which we have mostly eliminated, but is in abundance in China.

How about expelling all of he black racist exhibiting hate speech in that letter against that white woman?
You can replace the racist blacks with more tolerant blacks.

Oh the irony of liberals being eaten by the very monster they so gleefully created.

Get a grip, man...I said NOTHING about rolling over and giving in to a bunch of immature, ill educated, moronic BLACK THUGS...

I said that’s the attitude taken by the liberal left who are running the schools and Hollywood....

And yes, blacks are in the majority in SA, but they are also running roughshod over the white people there and they are beginning to do the same here because the GD liberals are allowing it!!!!!

Now, think a little when you read and don’t jump to stupid conclusions!!!!!!!

I find it absolutely mind boggling. Their parents and grandparents fought against segregation in the 50’s and 60’s and these asses are fighting to segregate the country again. I say, lets give them what they want - but if you don’t want “whitey” then you don’t get “whitey’s money”.

"According to the ethos of black students at Pomona College, one of the nation’s most competitive (and expensive) small liberal arts colleges, white people cannot legitimately study and write about black criminals. "

Then I supposed that black people cannot legitimately study and write about anyone white---George Washington, Albert Einstein, Bugsy Siegel, etc. How about we all get DOWN and RIDICULOUS??? I really question these complainants being in any institution of higher learning at all. I doubt they THEY are qualified. They are simply parroting what their role models and leaders, such as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and other professional agitators, manipulated them to say.

I agree with them.

AND I EXPRESSLY FORBID ANYONE without Italian blood from watching The Godfather or Goodfellas or The Sopranos.

Makes about just as much sense. :)

..... Well .... if I was the dean of that college I would have posted on all of the bulletin boards at that college the legal definition of racism ..... then when something like this happens .... simply direct the student or students to the nearest bulletin board to educate themselves on the matter.

Liberalism is a disease of weak minded simpletons.


Yes. There is zero cogent argumentation or thought in liberalism. Liberals are the most gullible people on the planet. Traditional rural tribesmen WOULD NEVER WITHHOLD THAT AMOUNT OF LOGIC that a highly overeducsted liberal can, daily.

Leftists LOVE liberals. Liberals are their “cows” they can farm to do all the leftist work. Communists plan on using liberals dry and then discard them as the used up tools they were.
