Ohio State Prof: Most Problems in US Traced to White Peoples' "Low Standards"
The Social Memo ^ | 3/21/17 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/21/2017 3:39:57 PM PDT by rightistight

Koritha Mitchell, an associate Professor of English at Ohio State University, has declared that most problems in the United States "can be traced" to "our country’s standards for white people."

Professor Mitchell wrote this on her personal website; her specific article was titled, "Low Standards for Whites. That’s What’s Killing Us."

"It doesn’t take much at all for a white person to be considered good," Mitchell argues. "As long as they avoid killing someone themselves, no one is going to demand anything else of them. Whites don’t need to do anything decent for anyone."

Most white people contribute little to society, Professor Mitchell writes, nor do they do things that help the "common good."

"White mediocrity is very much linked to violence against people of color," she adds. "Whiteness is a powerful set of beliefs that yield material outcomes... Whiteness (and the racism it facilitates) are not personal. That’s why a white man or woman doesn’t have to do anything particularly well to end up with above-average success."

Professor Mitchell continues, "We know that this is a racist country, that if history is taught the way it has always been taught, then white students will have role models and a sense of pride."

Additionally, the United States is "heterosexist."

Mitchell concludes her article, "Being white shouldn’t be enough to be considered good. Low expectations for white people. That’s what’s killing us. Please, do better."

Did she hear about the black teachers in NY, Who didn’t think they should have to pass standard tests to teach students ? Or that 70 or 80% of black children are born out of marriage ? I guess not. If these questions were presented to her, somehow it would be whites people’s fault.

“Sentence fragments. Not well together put. Scholarship poor.”

Since she teaches college English, I’m sure it must be new skool.

The douchebag professor should leave America immediately and go back to her native homeland. We don't want her to suffer one more day with white people. She won't have to suffer the white man's inventions of running water and sewer systems. She can shit outside her hut and wash with a bucket of dirty water from the puddle. She's a delusional idiot.

My first reaction is that we need a few of our patriotic ladies to go kick ass on this repugnant, racist bitch.

My second reaction is to ship her off to Africa with a spear and loincloth to hunt zebras on the savanna.

No, Professor Mitchell, I have high standards. My parents have high standards for me and my siblings. My minority friends have parents who have high standards for them, too.

Interesting that blacks in academia, civil service and work in general are unable to meet standards that whites have met for generations. Thats why they are so dependent on affirmative action and govt demands for “diversity” to be hired.

Why is there an obligation to help others? This mindset bothers me. It is like the forced “community service” that students are required to do. I will help out where I feel the need and if you tell me I am not doing enough, I will no longer help.

What in the HECK is going on with the once-bucolic campus of Ohio State University? Have they become the midwest’s nexus of feeble and frankly ridiculous black pseudo-intellectual finger pointing? It’s not going on at Ohio University, or Kent State or other Ohio campuses. Why OSU? This pseudo-intellectual professor should find themselves tossed from their faculty position there, as they are spewing fabricated nonsense and wasting students’ time and money having to listen to such hogwash.

Lady-—name me ONE stable prosperous democracy which is headed by a black government in Africa, Haiti, wherever you choose. Can’t name even one. And Mugabe actually begged white farmers to come back, after he ousted them, because the country was going to hell without their expertise and industry. What percentage of technical and medical advancements can be attributed to blacks? A very small percentage compared to whites, that’s for sure. You are full of baloney and excreting it through your mouth and pen.

Wow - between dimbulb moronic senators trying to trip up an intellectual giant and racist idiot college professors blaring their ignorance to the world, it has been a banner day for American “leadership”.

When educators make these types of inflammatory and harassing comments, one wonders how her personal racism affects the grades she gives out, and calls into question her intrinsic value to the university versus liability risks.

This lady is celebrated at the liberal Ohio State “Fraud” University when in reality she is nothing but a Black Nazis with White People playing the role of the Jews.
