i reject most if not all of his premises.
Mmmm, it’s quite rambling, and I can’t figure out which side this guy is really on. Is he a racist or an individualist in charge of betting himself through hard work and promoting that ideal to all people, or just a bitter whiner that wants to kiss ass to liberals racists?
The human capacity for rationalization can sometimes be breathtaking.
He reaches the right conclusion eventually, but for all the wrong reasons.
Can’t find my ten foot pole.
but the entire rest of the article refutes that assertion.
One hundred percent USDA approved pure b/s. If the people he's complaining about want a better life they must first bite the bullet and get off the government plantation. They must first realize they, and they alone are responsible for and are in control of their own destiny. Education, marriage, family and work ethic. Oh, yeah. And belief in God and belief in self.
Faulty premises, because faulty assumptions. Does he seriously believe that there were really “racists” holding him back at a University, in NY state no less? In nearly any area of academe, it is ridiculously easy to prove discrimination; in most cases all you need to do (as a black person) is make the claim.
He’s proceeding from the assumption “all whites are inherently racist”, and explaining all his conclusions within that framework.
As noted, the extent to which a human will rationalize their situation is astounding.
Poor fella, dang me.
The author sounds like a racist creep looking for reasons to justify his hatred of whitey.
Than do it, damn it and quit pi$$ing and moaning about *whitey* like you did in most of the above paragraphs.
It pi$$es me off, to no end, when some loudmouth black thinks and spreads the word that whites had it all handed to them on a silver platter.
Myself and my friends never got hold of a silver platter, all we got hold of was 30-40 years of seriously busting ass at a job to get some measure of success and security.
That's the life lived by folks I know and myself.
That the author is a doctor sort of answers most of the questions that he asked.
It seems that black people’s destinies are controlled by not wanting to be associated with other black people.
No good deed goes unpunished though, this "Doctor" is the exception to the CPUSA mantra that the American black is oppressed!.
Actually, it appears that the American WASP is oppressed by the godless CPUSA and the Negro!
The communists, baby killers, and homosexuals are on the march.
Who will stand against this evil?
Black people are in charge of their own destiny ... just like other races. I wish they knew how much power they have over their success and failure.
Blaming whitey isn’t going to cut it.
Dr. Boyce Watkins has very narrow view on life and reality. It happens when you’re infected with the liberal disease.
I didn’t read all of this but what jumped out at me is the lack of any need for personal responsibility.
What an idiot. He’s upset that the Democrats aren’t championing causes for blacks. Why should they? The Democrats own something like 90% of their vote because the blacks believe what they are told and are too damn stupid to inform themselves. And to top it off, they have the biggest racist ever to come along in the White House. I believe the “man” is the Democrat party.
