Students at Yale University are demanding radical changes that would remove white male authors from the English department’s curriculum.

According to a petition submitted to faculty, Yale students are demanding that a course on “Major English Poets” be removed from the curriculum because it lacks diversity.

Yeah. They must immediately begin speaking some indigenous dialect. One with no alphabet or written language whatsoever.
And divest themselves of all science, technology, medicine, transportation, and every single vestige of Western Civilization.
Ha.

Don’t forget toilets! They gotta go too! White guys had way too much influence on modern plumbing. Take all the toilets out of the University.

If the students demanded that the school removed all Black or Hispanic Authors from the curriculum, this would be major shocking news for the blatant racism.

Other than that, what have white people EVER done for us?

And that’s what Affirmative Action gets you.

Wouldn’t you LOVE to know what the demanding students scored on their SAT’s vs the hundreds/thousands of white kids who applied but were not admitted to Yale in order to make room in the quota system for these brats? Actually serves the university right.

“...without any contact from Western Europeans, where would Africa be today? Exactly where it was 500 years ago, tribal and primitive.”

Interestingly, Africans of the continent tend to be multi-lingual and in many ways better educated than American ghetto blacks. This is a direct result of European colonization.
Notice the signs inside airport terminals in Africa. They’re in English, French, Belgian, Dutch. Many African languages to this day have no written language.

There were no poets before Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks.

Maybe then they could read books by Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell. Might do them some good.

“There were no poets before Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks.”

My many snarky, and no doubt “racist” comments notwithstanding, I do really like and appreciate those two, and many other, black poets and writers. And musicians, athletes, abolitionists, scientists, and on and on.

So that’s what I don’t get—we eeeevil white people have been very open and welcoming to black culture, even embracing and learning from its positive aspects.
Why is it so hard for “them” to reciprocate?
Oh, wait. I’m stereotyping. These Western Civ deconstructionists do not represent the thinking of ALL black people.
Only the leftist ones—and they’re pimping, and being controlled by, the ideas of Marx, Engels, Marcuse, the Frankfurt School.
IOW—white Europeans!! Hahahahaha!

the sick thing is that those making these demands are a minority and the universities listen.

What do they expect from a course called “Major English Poets”?

How many are calling for removal and how many flunked the course?

“Major English Poets”

I think they missed the "English" part of the course description...

If there are major english poets that are not white, by all means include them...

Oh' Wait...

You know, many people just don’t really ‘get’ the Wayans’ brothers comedy, black or white. But I do. They are really are making fools of so-called black culture advocates, laughing all the way to the bank.......................

Speaking of In Living Color, when Muhammad Ali passed, the first thing that came to mind was “Three Champs and a Baby”, when the doorbell rang and Ali goes “Round Eight!” and punches Mike Tyson, and Tyson just laughs and says, “That’s pretty funny, Ali!”
