The author

[Arrowhead1952]

She criticized the way race is broached as a topic of discourse in the U.S. by comparing it to South Africa. ....

American capitalism was birthed on unpaid laborers, and it is maintained on the backs of inadequately paid workers.

I didn't need a picture to ID the race of the writer. Those two sentences alone did all the talking I needed. Why doesn't this whiny b**** go to South Africa and live there for 20 + years and then get back with her evidence that the citizens there are any better off without capitalism?

"Andrea Richardson, hates white people"

Angela Davis is still in demand as a speaker??? I submit this speaks ill of any university paying her to speak. As we all know, she is an admitted, an open hard-line Communist and anti-American activist from the 60’s, who properly lines the garbage bin of a sad history.

Start with Sharpton and Jackson...

[NorthMountain]

If the author is serious about getting rid or racism, she should demand that the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People, the United NEGRO College Fund, BLACK Entertainment Television ... And, she should be DEMANDING that government and industry abolish all race-based affirmative action.

If she doesn't do these things, we'll know that she's just a hypocrite and a race hustler, and someone to be spurned.

That’s quite a plight Asian-Americans suffer.

Anytime someone wants to have a real discussion of race that expands beyond the "evil whites" they're turned off or shouted down.

Its a two way street missy, before you can point to the 300 years of slavery in this country let's understand the 2,000 years of slavery in Africa.

Let's talk about the hundreds of thousands of lives and billions of $$ expended to end slavery.

Let's discuss the Barbary pirates and the raids along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea gathering souls to be sold in the slave markets of N Africa.

But that's just history...

I'm willing to address the inadequacies of the US justice system, it really is atrocious, but the corollary is the crime ridden culture that feeds it.

We can discuss the sins of the "white man" and have ad infinitum, but at some point shouldn't blacks get on w/ their lives, and stop making excuses?

Last week, I was one of the many students who crowded the Alumni Memorial Building to hear the amazing Angela Davis speak.

That's as far as I could get.....

I agree we definitely need to work on racism in this country. That is, the racism practised by Blacks, and Latinos against White people.

[MasterGunner01]

I agree that there is plenty of work to be done combating racism in the U.S. The first place to start is with the Black community and eliminate all vestiges of Affirmative Action and all preferential treatment for Blacks and minorities.

I got to “the amazing Angela Davis” and stopped reading. No point.

I have given up trying to be decent because our Country ended racism way too long ago and since the 60’s has thrown upwards of one trillion dollars towards helping minorities get ahead. Since Caucasians were a super majority back in the 60’s we showed our willingness to get over it and move on towards a population that did not care about skin color. We could just as easily stomped them out of existence.

The problem is the minorities realized they could extort even more money from us by screaming “racism” rather than buckling down, learning, and working hard. Being lazy and having most everything given you them while using the race card has made them the defacto ruling class, much like some countries in Africa where a minority tribe ruthlessly rules over the majority.

I will not bend any more and I will not play nice around these lazy, corrupt, thieving people.
