University of Alabama Dean: American Flag and Police Represent ‘Systemic History of Racism’
Breitbart ^ | 9/4/2019

Posted on 09/04/2019 12:23:17 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

A series of resurfaced tweets from Dr. Jamie R. Riley, the University of Alabama’s assistant vice president and dean of students, show he once believed the American flag and police in America are racist.

“The [American flag emoji] flag represents a systemic history of racism for my people,” Riley wrote in a September 2017 tweet. “Police are a part of that system. Is it that hard to see the correlation?”

In another 2017 tweet, Riley, who has served in the position at the University of Alabama since February of this year, claimed white people do not understand racism because “they can’t even experience racism.”

Yes, and all the other countries in the world are not or haven’t been worse. Please.

White people experience racism every time they are robbed or attacked in a black neighborhood. White people experience racism in South Africa daily, sometimes horrifically. White people experience racism when they are constantly harassed by blacks for being oppressors when the all oppressive laws have been overturned.

And correlation doesn’t prove causality, Dr Riley. An academic should know that.

“There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
— partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs. ... “

“There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don’t want the patient to get well,
because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living,
but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”

I thought that that sign she's throwin' was a white power sign.

Maybe she's identifying as white...Moby Dick maybe.

“White people can’t experience racism.”

Another Black genius.

Peter Principle doesn’t apply to minorities and women.

Then make it an all black university as well as a police free zone. Lets see how long it survives.

Well Dean, being a white guy I may not experience racism per se, but I do recall being called a “damned Jew” by a black kid, about 12-13 years old, in Philadelphia, because I won’t give him a nickel. He didn’t know if I was Jewish or not. He just assumed so or was told “so”.

Kids that young are taught “hate”. No. Philadelphia. Need I say more?

Still the same old Democrat shithole it was 55 years ago.

Well, that is what you get when you hire someone based on color of skin rather than on competence.

All hail affirmative action, political correctness, and gutless, ball-less , spineless cucks.

"How much diversity did he bring to Alpha Phi Alpha?"

Odd you should mention that...

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (ΑΦΑ) is the first African-American, intercollegiate Greek-lettered fraternity.

The fraternity's symbol is the Sphinx. early versions featured a softly negroid face of the sphinx (first image -- at left).

But, if you follow the graphics, obviously the membership see themselves "evolving" -- but...  to what?

One message comes through very clearly:

"Racism is definitely a TWO-WAY street!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What does all the above say about Dr. Jamie R. Riley -- who wears the Alpha Phi Alpha pin?
