Lecturers who are '60 year old white men' are unable to teach black and minority ethnic (BME) people, students have complained.

The students, who are studying at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), said under-representation of black people among the teaching staff, relative to the student body, made students feel 'isolated', unable to engage with their studies and lecturers.

Might be like NAACP...you can’t say ‘colored’...but others can.

Let’s turn that to “Black students can’t learn from white teachers because the students are potentially racists” and see how it flies.

The majority of so-called academics (people who can’t really DO things of value) being leftists, they have a vested interest of keeping the blacks on the Democrat plantation. It increases their funding.

Like the Black Philly teacher during the Clintoon years who taught her 1st grade Negroes that Egyptian Negroes had wings and could fly until White European males came and cut them off...all in the name of increasing their "self esteem".

No mention of the racial hatred it fostered or the sheer stupidity that cutting off a generation's of (fill in the blank) would result in future generations being born without (fill in the blank).

Won’t low IQ be a bigger problem?

They can’t be taught because they don’t give a crap...They don’t try...It’s not “cool” to be educated as a black...

It’s way more “cool” to disrupt classes and wear your pants around your knees...

That is what such revolts look like, kill off the previous (hold out) generation of academics and intellectuals and substitute them with those loyal to the Communist Party.

When speaking of American academics and intellectuals, how can you question their party loyalty? 90% RATs, just another name for commie.

This reminds me of a story a friend told me. While in a PhD program he substitute taught for extra cash. So, one time he was substitute teaching a math class in Boston for three days. He was given a test to administer, and then he was to grade the tests for the next day’s class. Since almost every student failed the test, he graded them twice, one time using the correct answer, but in a moment of inspiration he graded them a second time redefining the correct answer by which answers were most common. In other words, the most common wrong answer became, de facto, correct. Using this method produced many As and Bs and fewer Ds and Fs, and to the students’ delight these were the grades he gave the class.

Let us flip that claim around:

Young black academics are 'unable' to teach white and asian students because they're potentially racist"

A lot of liberal heads would pop off it that was a headline.

The Bells of Hell go ding-a-ling-a-ling
for you but not for me;
Oh, death where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling
or grave thy vic-to-reeee?

Heard that jingle Heaven knows how many years ago, now it’s stuck in my head!

Other possibility, students are too damn dumb to understand the subject.

College is a challenging environment. making you uncomfortable, exposing you, is part of the education process.

Old white academics are 'unable' to teach black students because they're unteachable???

makes as much sense

[Daffynition]

Jumoke Academy in Hartford, CT was set up as a charter school for afro-centric studies. Millions of dollars of public money disappeared. The headmaster, Michael Sharpe, resigned. Just so happens that Sharpe has a criminal record, has served two prison terms, and fudged his academic credentials.

In typical Hartford fashion [affirmative action lovers], nepotism flourished at Jumoke and Sharpe was never prosecuted. I'm pretty sure that Sharpe was never prosecuted; I'm willing to be corrected.

That's why *charter schools* need to be governed in a way that other government agencies need to be monitored. They need to follow the same rules as other schools.

Right. Jewish boys are still born with foreskins...

Young and old blacks are not racist...although they see society’s actions through only a sepia lens.

[dfwgator]

Oriental?

Why don’t they just use “colored” instead of “black” while they’re at it.

[dfwgator]

What about a black teacher that has majority white students?

They can’t learn because smoking weed and chasing hos takes time away from studying. Besides, welfare is free, why work.
