Back in the real world:

Blacks in the USA commit homicide at a rate six to seven times that of non-blacks.

Interracial violent crime in the USA is overwhelmingly committed by blacks against non-blacks. On a per-capita basis, it’s off the charts.

What a RACIST !

And IF the woman was trying to sell her food stamps ( which is ILLEGAL)she's a criminal and that has nothing at all to do with race.

Professor Eddie Junior wrote this? Wow! I didn’t think today’s college “professors” knew how to string words together to make sentences.

Trump exists in a sweet spot between the soft bigotry of self-contradictory American liberals and the loud racism of those who shout “nigger” and demand that Latino people go back to Mexico

I have NEVER EVER heard anyone say that all Latino people should go back to Mexico.

This is a classic reductio ad absurdum fallacy that the Left uses.

This professor should be ashamed of himself, but of course he won't be.

I don’t hate you for the color of your skin, “professor.”

I hate you for the content of your character.

Actually, the food stamp recipients where I live tend to be White. If I caught one of them selling their stamps, I WOULD report them.

(And then I’d say, “BUILD THE WALL to keep the Irish and Eastern European illegals out!” :-D)

There’s a lot that I hate about rhetoric like this, but one thing that sticks out in particular is the confused and contradictory use of “we” and “you”. The author tries to both place himself among the oppressed and the oppressor. It’s like, if “you” don’t realize how bad “we” are treated, “we” will never address the problems that American faces with race.

Many years ago, they should have listened to this man whose picture you posted, not W.E.B. Dubois.

Booker T. Washington was a self-reliant inspiration...his book “Up From Slavery” is a classic that espoused hard work to fix race relations. He thought that if blacks could run profitable businesses and produce quality goods, whites would patronize their business and the races would get along better.

Instead, all we hear about these days relates to the socialist POS Dubois.

The race card was played so often white guilt dried up and blew away...

He challenged Obama’s citizenship,

wrong - Obama’s own publisher set rumor to his citizenship, and the Dem party allowed the re-definition of a natural born citizen

called Mexicans rapists and criminals,

wrong - he said those coming across the border. And crime stats prove him right btw

proposed to ban all Muslims from entering the country,

no children can play outside because one child was kidnapped. Is it fair? no. Is it safer for everyone? yes

insisted on the need for “law and order,”

that’s a problem to whom?

argued that immigration was changing the “character” of the United States

it is, and in a very negative way, btw

and openly courted white supremacists.

as opposed to Farrakhan or Rev White or Bill Ayers or the New Black Panthers? But a lie all the same. If a salesman comes to the door unsolicited, is the homeowner ‘courting’ him? Of course not.

They didn’t listen to BTW because his advice didn’t sound easy.
So they followed DuBois’ path and nothing has been easy.

Those who expect things to be easy are usually disappointed.

The author really monkeyed up that article. He probably had some deeper point but really just had to say “if you are white, you are racist. If you hear a white say something, it is racist”.

That’s my question too. Funny that the professor never addresses that, as if it’s beside the point, when in fact, it is the point!
