This is complete with a ‘Peoples Democratic xxxx’ (Communists/Socialist) and PC run amok.

“Asked how he would describe the unruly students blamed for the daily fights and misconduct that has plagued John Hopkins this year, Waller declined to answer.”

I don’t know who asked Waller the question but whoever it was.....handed Waller’s bloody butt to him.

Get used to it. I’ve given up ....We’re not going to be able to stem the tide of PCism unless there is a way to get rid of the ACLU and their ilk.

“The International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement — better known as the Uhurus “

They held a parade in Oakland to celebrate the killing of four Oakland police officers by a child-raping thug:

The International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) sponsored a march, rally, and vigil for Lovelle Mixon on Wednesday, March 25th. Lovelle Mixon’s mother, his wife, several of his brothers, and at least one cousin were present. Many people were upset with the all of the official sympathies expressed for the four police officers who died Saturday, while none was offered to the family of Lovelle Mixon

Screw ‘em.

What the hell is that? Never heard of them. Might be fun to check out, though.

I could do better than ‘hoodlum’, but I’d get banned.

Heretoforth, young “hoodlums” shall be referred to by their proper name, “community organizers”.

Hoodlums come in all colors. The group labeling it “racist” is a communist agitator one. They know it has nothing to do with race, aside from the fact that a vast majority of thug activity seems related to a certain ‘hip hop’ culture.

Oh brother. Race pimps. People who cannot speak or understand their own native language. And it sounds like ‘hooklums’ is exactly the right word for the students, and their defenders.

Because of the reason they took exception, the people who took exception to the use of the word show their need to get educated and assimilate.

HOODLUM: A TOUGH, OFTEN AGGRESSIVE OR VIOLENT YOUTH

I would have to say that I side with Clark on this one....

"Hoodlum, when you look it up in the dictionary, doesn't look so bad," Adams said. But when people in the black community hear it, "they associate it with words and meanings other than (those from) 1871 or whenever it was the word first appeared in print."

SO!

If this teacher had any sense, she’s be crucifying her criticizers by stating that they support cop killers publicly. Put them on defense.

From the article:

“The International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement — better known as the Uhurus — called for Clark to resign for the statement, which it viewed as racist.”

You can apparently vote on whether her comments were “racist” or not at this link I found on the article’s website:
