Black students at Pomona College demand hiring of sociologist be rescinded because she is white

According to the ethos of black students at Pomona College, one of the nation’s most competitive (and expensive) small liberal arts colleges, white people cannot legitimately study and write about black criminals. Tony Airaksinen of Campus Reform writes:

Students at Pomona College have published a demand letter urging administrators to rescind their offer to hire Sociology Professor Alice Goffman because she’s white.

The “Letter to the Pomona College Sociology Department,” published last Friday argues that by hiring Goffman, the administration has neglected their commitment to promoting diversity and supporting women of color.

“This practice is detrimental to Pomona’s goal of supporting students of color.”

The collective of “Sociology students, alumni, and allies” open their letter by expressing their “anger” and “concern” regarding Goffman’s hire, calling it a “failure” to address the lack of professors of color on campus....

No...YOU get a grip and whilst you're at it, go take a good course in remedial reading comprehension.

You agreed with an idiot, who claimed that we were turning into South Africa, which we aren't.

I replied to you that we aren't.

You replied, idiotically, with that crap about Hollywood, etc., which was not only inane, but ridiculous. And now, NOW, you're telling ME to "calm down"? LOL

And FYI...go read what you wrote; you INFERRED that we should all give in to these black RACISTS!

Your thinking, writing, reading comprehension, and logic skills need help.

I tried to find RSA.

It is 19th in Wikipedia list, just after Russian Ski Association.

“I edited a couple books on Hong Kong history and someone asked why I did it. The person asking me claimed that only Hong Kong people could understand (and write) Hong Kong history. I just ignored that person.”

I got so tired of being called “Mr Gwelio” by a woman in Hong Kong where I used to work if she thought it would be appropriate if I called her “Miss Chink” or “Suzy Wan” (A famous term for a prostitute) She literally didn’t understand why I would mind being called a derogatory name.

It didn’t take being married to a Chinese woman very long to figure out that many, not all; Chinese are rather hard core racist.

RSA stands for THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA and is the correct way of talking about that particular nation.

And FYI...you are neither funny nor clever.

Go hump somebody else’s leg...You’re wasting my time...

Well, so sorry, black students, but that choice does not fit with American cultural values and also doesn't fit with workplace values. Perhaps Rhodesia may offer a more suitable lifestyle choice since successful employment in the US probably won't be achievable.

No, this is one of the Claremont Colleges.

The undergraduate colleges include Pomona College, Scripps College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, and Pitzer College. The two graduate institutions include Claremont Graduate University and Keck Graduate Institute.

The country is spinning out of control and its accelerating. A second civil war is coming. Fast.

the administration has neglected their commitment to promoting diversity and supporting women of color.

Having "diversity" as a primary goal is one of the dumbest policies any institution could adopt. The use of that tiresome word seems to be increasing exponentially in the past year, and it was used too often before.

[Yaelle]

Aha. Thanks.

My former stepdaughter won a diversity award in her public middle school. It was the highest award the school could bestow. Higher than a lifesaving medal.

White and a Jew.

that would get stuck in the leftist Islamic sponsored craw.

Mr. NoPardons,

FYI

I guess I got no pardon from you...

I did google RSA, which I was not familiar with, and got all kinds of stuff, not Republic of South Africa.

Then Wikipedia, did have a list containing RSA, down 19th on it.

Which is what I reported. Partly to indicate the disrespect that RSA gets from Google, and Wikipedia.

Which you probably know, but you do not need to take that out on me.

Any I hope FYI means For Your Information, not F___ Yourself

ESAD whatever color your miserable life claims to be. Do not pass go.

Booker T. Washington nailed the truth about them long ago.

Take a look at Booker T. Washington on Black Victimhood.
This is a very important fact THAT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT TODAY !

A number of black “leaders” (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt.
Jesse Jackson has been shaking down corporations with the scam for decades.
Booker T. Washington (1865–1915) warned of such people within the black community in his 1911 book My Larger Education.
He described them as “problem profiteers”:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
– partly because they want sympathy
and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
(p. 118)

What does a diversity award represent in a middle school?

[Scrambler Bob]

Booker is now right up there with Churchill and St. John Bosco.

Does he have any statues we can pull down?

I tend not to hire black or Muslim people. I’m white and pay attention to what’s going on, so I know both probably think I’m the devil. Just playing the percentages.

[nopardons]

Oh...sorry about that; your post was NOT all that "clear".

And yes, FYI does mean FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

RSA is the proper way to refer to that nation and no, they no longer get any "respect", for any number of reasons.
