Morning Joe's Glaude on 250th: America a 'White Republic' of 'Greed, Selfishness, Grift, Hatred'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Happy 4th to you, too, Eddie!

MS NOW contributor and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude Jr appeared on Tuesday’s Morning Joe to offer his repetitively bleak take on America as the nation nears its 250th birthday.

Glaude described America as a "white republic,” built on "greed and selfishness and grift and hatred." Invoking Moby Dick, he analogized the US to an ugly "white whale" that threatens to "choke out the life of the country.” Patriotism is racism.

It sounds to me like American has treated him badly. He should move somewhere else so that he can be happier.

“choke out the life of the country.”

That’s not the end of Moby Dick that I remember.

I guess he hasn’t seen the reactions from people all over the world to encountering the REAL America.

As a full professor at Princeton I would guess he is earning $270K and as a Lib speaker he probably pulls in $75 to 150K a year.

The mean yearly income for a US citizen was $43K in 2023.

So our professor is earning 9.7+ times the mean income of the US citizen.

I have no problem with that. But if he going to complain about how the people of the US go about their business because it has is unfair he should be doing something in his own life to bring himself in to the world of equity that he espouses.

Bet you he is doing nothing to give to charity. Most Lib don’t.

Glaude is apparently a tenured Princeton professor who’s probably making somewhere north of $250,000 a year. No doubt he got that job because of DEI selections. If there’s anybody who’s been living broad off the fat of the land it’s that creep, who’s making vastly more than the mostly white people who pay his salary. He should be thanking the US every day for the fact that he was born here and the Princeton hiring committee was stupid enough to DEI hire him. He shouldn’t be bad mouthing us. Above all, he shouldn’t be regarded as some kind of a bogus expert.

“Princeton professor Eddie Glaude Jr appeared on Tuesday’s Morning Joe to offer his repetitively bleak take on America as the nation nears its 250th birthday.” America, love it or leave it Eddie.

He probably has a ‘savior complex’ and would reject your suggestion, feeling he must remain here to try and save America from itself.

(He speaks of greed, Selfishness, etc. as if they are peculiarly White traits. That’s not the thinking of a very developed mind...)

Just one example.

From “The Great Society and the Drive for Black Equality”
on the Digitalhistory website.

Quote:

Author: Steve Mintz “During the 1960s, median black family income rose 53 percent; black employment in professional, technical, and clerical occupations doubled; and average black educational attainment increased by four years. The proportion of blacks below the poverty line fell from 55 percent in 1960 to 27 percent in 1968. The black unemployment rate fell 34 percent. The country had taken major strides toward extending equality of opportunity to black Americans.”
///////////////

If the white people were working on keeping black people down, they were highly inefficient.
/////////////////////

Forbes Magazine: “There are approximately 1.6 to 1.8 million Black or African American millionaires in the United States, according to demographic and wealth data.”

Oprah Winfrey net worth $3.4 Billion.
Ulysses “Junior” Bridgeman, Owner and Publisher, Ebony Media Operations. including Ebony and Jet. $1.4 Billion net worth.
Spike Lee net worth $60 Million.
Samuel L. Jackson net worth $250 Million.

“As an endowed, named chair and Distinguished University Professor at Princeton University, Eddie Glaude Jr.’s exact university salary is private, but full professors in the Ivy League typically earn an average base salary of over $260,000 annually.”

“Glaude commands a speaking fee between $20,000 and $30,000 per keynote or corporate appearance, according to the Speaker Booking Agency.”
He earns regular compensation for his frequent political commentary and television appearances on networks like MSNBC.

His books, such as Begin Again and America, U.S.A., generate steady royalty income.
