A black law professor argues that African Americans should embrace the notion that being black in America is a disability as a new legal strategy toward enacting protections for the black community against unconscious bias, stereotyping and structural inequality.
Kimani Paul-Emile, an associate professor of law at Fordham University and associate director of its law school’s Center on Race, Law & Justice, argues that while Africans Americans might initially spurn the “blackness as disability” label, it can actually be a wise courtroom plan.
The Americans with Disabilities Act defines “disability” as “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of such individual.”
“Blackness, of course, is not, by itself, an impairment,” Paul-Emile writes.
Paul-Emile listed many reasons for black peoples’ perceived disabilities, including “facing increased likelihood, relative to Whites, of living in poverty, attending failing schools, experiencing discrimination in housing, being denied a job interview, being stopped by the police, being killed during a routine police encounter, receiving inferior medical care, living in substandard conditions and in dangerous and/or polluted environments, being un- or underemployed, receiving longer prison sentences, and having a lower life expectancy.”

Apparently, being an over-educated race pimp is an impairment.
Now give me money (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want)
That’s what I want (that’s what I want) yeah
That’s what I want
Self pity party....................
What a pathetic creature.
Simple solution: Send all those who agree with her to any majority-Black country so their color would not be a disability.
Can’t get a real job in the real world
Shame on Fordham L aw
I wouldn’t give a dime to those bastards
Name one Black majority country that is not a Shiite-hole country.
It’s long past time to get rid of Affirmative Action.
Clearly black people need to leave America and go somewhere where being black is not a handicap.
Senegal is such a place. Go there.
“Blackness, of course, is not, by itself, an impairment,”
Apparently it is. Living in the past guarantees no present or future.
Being blinded by racism and a victim mentality is a disability, so I guess the author is disabled.
And having a hyphenated name also usually gives people an idea what you’re about, so there’s another strike against her.
She admits racial inequality.
It can be logically argued that inequality precipitated slavery and continues to burden the American black people
Poor Poor Pitiful Me

Well I lay my head on the railroad track
Waiting on the Double E
But the train don’t run by here no more
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won’t let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me
Well I met a man out in Hollywood
Now I ain’t naming names
Well he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
Yes he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
Put me through some changes Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won’t let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me
Well I met a boy in the Vieux Carres
Down in Yokohama
He picked me up and he threw me down
He said “Please don’t hurt me Mama”
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won’t let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me

It’s comical to read this kind of nonsense from an allegedly educated black woman that looks like something I’d expect to see in KKK propaganda.
Seeking to institute systemic advantages for one race, based on alleged oppression, is advocacy of systemic racism.
It has to be so insulting to regular Americans who are black to have these race pimps tell them that all blacks are retarded.
She should have a talk with Mason Weaver then:
