Black students at Pomona College demand hiring of sociologist be rescinded because she is white
American Thinker ^ | April 25, 2017 | Thomas Lifson

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....

You call me "rude" and then go into extreme RUDE mode yourself, impugning me and insulting me, for no reason in a passive aggressive mode! That's why I might sound as though I have a chip on my shoulder; this is par for the course.

I am almost completely TEETOLTAL; don't hardly even drink alcohol at all and before you go farther into insult land, have NEVER done any illicit substances in my life.

Nobody here is interested in facts, history lessons, nor learning anything REAL/TRUE about South Africa. The group tried and was usually faced with nasty replies, insults, and/or being ignored.

So now, consider this the end of our "conversation"; I'm done with this topic, for the nonce.

I’ll wait.


Keep waiting——my post was about editing someone’s comments,not a discussion on educational choices.

I guess it never occurred to these Leftists that the reason why so many British musicians in the 50’s and 60’s fell in love with American music that was created by Blacks, is because all the music that Black Americans were creating was directly influenced by Anglo Saxon music.

There would be no such thing as the Blues, Gospel, Rock N’ Roll, or Jazz, without Black musicians’ “cultural appropriation” of Anglo Saxon folk and Church music.

I firmly believe that South Africa is the model of deconstruction of American that is being used.

Then it’s settled. You simply have a huge chip on your shoulder and have anger issues we can’t help you with.

At no time did I insult you. In fact I went out of my way not to even though you deserve it.

Yes indeed; this conversation is finished.

Ummm, no. As a matter of fact, my principal (who taught us German) was in the Waffen SS during World War II.

“Just ask Pol Pot.”

I don’t remember Pol Pot making people do roofing. I’m pretty sure knowing how to use a hammer branded one as an intellectual and got them a one-way trip to the Killing Fields. :)

That must have made for some interesting class discussions.

These students are hate-filled racist pigs. Expell them for being so hateful and ignorant.

Almost all my male teachers and principals were in World War II, Korea or Vietnam.

You called me a "DRUNK" and don't believe that that is an insult?

You have a gigantic passive/aggressive problem and an anger problem, not to mention a mammoth chip on YOUR shoulder; yet I'm the one with "problems"? LOL

You went out of your way to be snide, nasty, insulting, and rude. I suggest that you remove that beam from your eye, before looking for motes in other people's eyes.

After two generations of this nonsense, the classrooms of America and the rest of the free world are in free fall. Given that the colleges of education and most of academe has been brainwashed into vast stupidity, what, if anything, can turn this around?

Trump is trying from his office, but he doesn’t have a magic wand. How can those who see the disaster for what it is take back our schools and train a new crop of teachers to gain knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, to teach history without the Communist lens, good English, wide reading and writing, science as science, not political posturing, bathrooms that are not freak show closets, sports teams of girls and sportsteams of boys, etc.

My female algebra teacher in junior high was in the Marines in WWII, but the Waffen-SS beats that hands down.

Dude; you need serious therapy and a nice long stay in a mental hospital with a padded room for your own protection. You’ve gone waaaaay over the edge.

Seek help before your anger and hate consumes you. Seriously. Do it soon. Get in your car right now and drive straight to your nearest mental ward. You can’t see I was trying to help you from making a bigger fool out of yourself but I can see that’s impossible. You are dead set on proving to the world you are the biggest ass this planet has and that’s saying something because that makes you even worse than obama, pelosi, reid, and the rest of those radicalized twits.

I’m done with you. Pack sand and take a long trip off a short pier. Sheesh!

WTF do you brain damaged morons come from....
