The premise behind slavery is that people do not own their own labor?!

Just what the hell do you think the income tax is? If I own my own labor, and I exchange it for an equal value of dollars, THERE IS NO GAIN.

How do these people become Professors?

This man is a racist and he will use anything to claim racism against the other side.

The fact that he is full of crap does not matter. He is a Learned Professor.

A better question is "Is forced-unionization racist?"

I didn’t know Michigan seceded from the Union in 1860???

Unions are the farthest from allowing people freedon from oppressive union bosses who steal their member’s money to further their own greed and agendas.

This MSU “professor” is one dumb F*ck.

All I know is that employers aren't the ones behaving like plantation overseers. That job is being done by union leadership.

If anyone wants to be added to the Michigan Cap Con ping list, let me know.

We all are used to hearing how unions are keeping minorities out of their membership.

This “professor” is a racist loser.

I guess those States whose inhabitants eat Barbecue, Black Eyed Peas, Grits and Okra are Racist as well. You know, those Right to Eat States.

Must be something in the Food. It's the only explanation.

Another “Professor” who is trying to re-write history. The barking seals will dutifully follow along....

I found this very interesting article:

Rahm Emanuel, Trade-Union Racism, and the Burden of History

http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/The-312/October-2012/Rahm-Emanuel-Trade-Union-Racism-and-the-Burden-of-History/

-snip-

It’s history, but history creates a long shadow. In 2005, Ta-Nehisi Coates, now a star at The Atlantic, visited the South Side as WalMart was making inroads there and in cities throughout the country. There he found this painful wound was still fresh:

Chicago is a union town. But in Mitts’ ward—and among many poor blacks—some unions rank only a couple of notches above the Ku Klux Klan. Black leaders in Chicago have repeatedly charged that the building-trades unions, traditionally controlled by whites, are keeping a grip on jobs. While 37% of Chicago is black, only 10% of all new apprentices in the construction trades between 2000 and 2003 were black, according to the Chicago Tribune. The unions that most vociferously oppose Wal-Mart are not in the building trades but represent retail workers, such as the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), which has long welcomed blacks.

Sheesh, democrats are such one trick ponies. Right to work is racist, merit based pay is racist, the 2nd amendment is racist.

Are they not capable of thinking even the tiniest bit out of the box?

No wonder why economists seem to find every single economic shift “unexpected”...The teachers of the profession appear to be idiots.

That’s a flawed premise, because I will bet you that the opposition to being in unions is mainly from white people who don’t want to answer to union bosses, and have an high regard for their own personal freedom. It is not because there are robber barons and plantation owners in the south. They could probably do fine dealing with unions, just as Ford did in Michigan.

We truly live in a bizzare world. This moron completely ignores the bigoted history of the labor movement. In the late 1800s, the labor movement did not admit blacks and advocated laws to stop low wage blacks from taking work from higher wage, unionized whites. One of the most prominent pro-union laws, Davis-Bacon, was passed to keep non-union blacks from working.

Silly man, everyone knows RTW laws are directly related to global warming, not racism.

Is Right-to-Work Racist?

Of course it is. Everything is racist. See, only black people are in unions.

Also, the Second Amendment is racist. Only white people own guns.

Similarly, capitalism is racist. Only white people get paychecks.

Don't forget: petroleum companies are racist. Only white people drive cars.

Everything is racist, and you damn well know it.

Classic example (the beginning thesis) of an academic
getting a “bright idea” one day sitting at his desk, then
following it into intellectual oblivion, and basically setting up the terms for a counterargument that winds up obliterating his entire argument. This was provided by Professor Davies, who nailed it point by point. I’m glad I had the patience to read that far.

Of course, many of the liberal policies that were enacted, despite Southern opposition, are now well established

Anyone else catch the subtlety of this line?

On the contrary, unions have throughout their history been used as a means to keep minorities out of well-paying jobs.
