A Duke University professor has reportedly been placed on leave after posting racist comments online that included talk of the blacks and the Asians. Jerry Hough commented on a New York Times editorial titled How Racism Doomed Baltimore
...The key question,though,according to Hough, is whether my comments were largely accurate. In writing me, no one has said I was wrong, just racist.
....full comments in the New York Times:
This editorial is what is wrong. The Democrats are an alliance of Westchester and Harlem,of Montgomery County and intercity Baltimore. Westchester and Montgomery get a Citigroup asset stimulus policy that triples the market. The blacks get a decline in wages after inflation.
But the blacks get symbolic recognition in an utterly incompetent mayor who handled this so badly from beginning to end that her resignation would be demanded if she were white. The blacks get awful editorials like this that tell them to feel sorry for themselves.
In 1965 the Asians were discriminated against as least as badly as blacks. That was reflected in the word "colored." The racism against what even Eleanor Roosevelt called the yellow races was at least as bad.
So where are the editorials that say racism doomed the Asian-Americans. They didn't feel sorry for themselves,but worked doubly hard.
I am a professor at Duke University. Every Asian student has a very simple old American first name that symbolizes their desire for integration. Virtually every black has a strange new name that symbolizes their lack of desire for integration. The amount of Asian-white dating is enormous and so surely will be the intermarriage. Black-white dating is almost non-existent because of the ostracism by blacks of anyone who dates a white.
It was appropriate that a Chinese design won the competition for the Martin Luther King state. King helped them overcome. The blacks followed Malcolm X.

I'll bring the graham crackers and chocolate.
I agree, that did sound rather disjointed.
Actually, I am so tired of this racial break-down nonsense, that I don’t care if he listed ‘the Whites’ or not. I don’t have a problem with equal time, so if he had done it, it would have been fine with me.
Not trying to pass judgement on your suggestion because I think it makes sense.
I’ll bring bananas.
Thank you for the correction notification. Interesting...
OMGosh! That’s weirdly funny. How about this part....
“Joseph and Keana say they will never shop at Walmart again.”
Wonder how that’s working for them?
Yeah, that’ll show Walmart!
I share view.
I was pointing out what they call the optics.
He ought have included a the whites in in somewhere.
"The Blacks" is said quite a bit here on FR. And it does sound strange.
