This is a satire piece, right?
"What happens when someone is traumatized? They need to go through therapy," he said. "Freed slaves were never given any therapy after experiencing what they did."
And where can I find these 140+ yr-old victims?
Yeah. That's it.
oh crap.
It's easier to pretend to be a victim than to claim authority for your own outcome.
That's right, Janelle. They are seen as socially superior....by darker skinned blacks who call them 'yellows'.
Sorry, but this tragedy didn't start until liberalism, abortion, promiscuity, welfare and a hundred other 'progressive' policies infected American culture. You can't blame this on slavery.
The problem with this lame excuse, is it skips generations of blacks that contradicted all this. 80 years ago for instance blacks had a lower illegitimacy rate than whites. Study blacks between 1860 and 1960 and you will see some stats that will reveal that the sickness among many present day blacks is a recent phenomena.
I think the visiting professor is suffering from post-traumatic liberalism syndrome.
Instead of spending time 'healing', how about spending time finding a job or starting a business?????
So how come he became a successful adult with 4 college-educated kids and 10 "on-their-way" to being great grandkids. He had no therapy and nothing beyond a belt buckle to the back for motivation.
Post-traumatic stress from a century ago? Try ingrained welfare for 3-4 generations--there's the problem.
slaves of the liberal white elite who run the Democrat Party.
As more blacks hitch up their trousers, tone down their boom-boxes and improve their pronunciation, the mainstream American culture will welcome them with open arms.
Too many blacks take the easy road, listening to their mullahs of hate and fail to think for themselves.
But on a positive note......things are looking up.
Blackwell.....Swann....Steele....Rice....and more to come.
Bring it on!!!
If blacks want to talk about the effects of slavery they need look no further than the party blacks overwhelmingly vote for every election year, namely the treason party; The Demon-rats. The party that has only one mission for blacks which is to enslave them to government, to socialist programs, to demean them with racist concepts like affirmative action, a concept that would have them believe that they are less equal than everybody else, a party that has people like Bill Clinton and John Kerry who openly mock blacks by calling themselves "black Presidents", a party that has a former KKK memeber, a party whose highest ranking black in their last Presidential administration was a secretary who had to demean herself by making BJ appointments for interns.
"Student Janelle Batson, 23, a junior, said she believes that lighter-skinned blacks on campus are sometimes seen as socially superior."
And the darker skinned people on campus are often seen as victims that are held back.
I have a solution for this - raise taxes and elect Democrats...
PLEASE tell me this is a joke!!!!! This PC/victimology nonsense has got to end, or our culture will go down the tubes like ancient Rome.....
Where's my compensation?
Oh, that's right. Never mind.
I would be willing to bet that not one of these 'traumatized' students are computer science, math, engineering or chemistry majors but ARE ethnic studies, black history, sociology or child development majors.
I would also be willing to bet that blacks who own their own businesses, are climbing the corporate ladder or marrying and raising kids DO NOT have this 'syndrome' because THEY'RE TOO BUSY BEING AN AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY.
As Homer would say: "Help me, Jeebus!"
What a crock!
