I’m surprised a person this dumb can actually string two sentences together. It’s not about their color, lady. It’s all about the way they act.
black thugs robbing cigars and attacking police is regressive, not progressive.
A black woman making such suggestions is also racist regression. The view from her ebony tower is obscured by her being a professional negro
This professor is more proof that in addition to not being worth the investment, a modern non-technical college "education" only makes you stupider.
I stopped listening to black folks.
officials redraw precincts to dilute African American voting strength
The Pubbies are only too happy to draw districts to ensure Blacks win. That is what allowed them to keep control of the House in 2012 even though they did not win the popular vote in the House elections either.
Heh.
Stupidest comment on Ferguson so far. Even Al Sharpton isn’t this effing stupid.
She sees progress as thugs looting convenience stores in thier nieghborhoods, domestic violence drugs alcohol abuse single parent homes, fatherless homes, gang violence,no one wants to work, generational entitlements, burning down thier own communities for some free beer liquor and food. This is white rage because we see progress. They will never look within where the problem lies
Hey!! Where is the “MEGA HURL” alert?!?
What Can A Degree In AAS Do For You
A person with a degree in African American Studies can be anything under the sun. The following organizations look for people with the interdisciplinary skills and knowledge gained by African American Studies majors.
Black History and Civil Rights Facilities Look for students with degrees in African American Studies.
Museums that feature African American art, music or theater displays offer opportunities for African American Studies majors who are qualified to supervise the development of their galleries, displays and exhibits. Employment opportunities with the federal government are open to those with degrees in African American Studies. One example is the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.
Non-Profits For some graduates with a degree in African American Studies the most important lesson they learn in their four years of study is that there remain large sections of society where African Americans and other minorities live in poverty. They need assistance and direction to help them to unlock their potential, make use of government entitlement programs, and find the education and employment that can empower them and bring them into the mainstream of society.
Communication Media With a degree in African American studies students will have developed writing and speaking proficiency for careers at television stations, radio talk shows and newspapers. The unique perspective that graduates with a degree in African American Studies can bring to daily news stories, art, music, films, theater, museum exhibits, sports and of course inter-racial events provides a much valued voice for organizations hoping to appeal to a diverse audience. Access to such positions is often highly competitive but a graduate with a degree in African American Studies does have a resume edge.

Well.. no it's not. That matches the wanton lies that benefit the race-grievance industries and the ideologues of the left.
Face facts folks. Abe will explain from "the other side."
If you could first know where you are and whither you are tending, you could better judge what to do and how to do it. You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
The question today is either the opponents of statism will arrest the further spread of it and place it on course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become permanent.
Have you no tendency to the latter condition?
Let anyone who doubts carefully contemplate that now almost complete legal combination — piece of machinery, so to speak — compounded of the Republican Party hands-across-the-aisle doctrine and the dreadful actions among statism's chief architects.
These race baiters will never tell the truth. Generation after generation of the black race has depended on the American welfare system, which has allowed too many to sit on their butts, get fat and pump out kids to raise their stipends. Damn right there’s white rage, among libs and conservatives alike, who don’t want to live in predominantly black neighborhoods or who want to send their kids to black schools. When the race baiters start cleaning up their own problems without picking taxpayers pockets maybe then the problems will be rectified.
Outbreaks of White Rage are called World Wars and the entire Earth shakes from one end to the other. The last thing this hairy beast wants to see is a White Rage Outburst.
It’s about black criminals supported by the white media.
>> It’s white rage against progress.
Then fight back by making some tangible progress instead of just yapping about it... if you’re really that interested.
No. When whites (esp American whites) become enraged, nations fall.
We’re not enraged. We are just sick and tired of lawless thugs. Of all races.
The thinking of this author will do nothing but make matters worse for urban blacks. Her type of progress has been tried for decades.
We would all love to see urban blacks progress out of public housing, out of the gangsta’ world, out of rebelling against education and local authorities, into better lives, less ignorance, less poverty, and less public dole. Jobs would be a good start, but no one wants to invest in areas where the people go bat $#!t crazy when a violent thug gets killed for being violent.
But I digress. More money won’t solve the problem. The billions of dollars the DOJ is going to give to race agitators, and as rewards for irresponsibility won’t help, and everyone knows it, including this author. After all the destruction that has happened to black families and communities since agitators and the federal government stepped in to fix problems in the 60s, one thing is clear. There is no solution to the mess that has been made.
Black people are frustrated and looking to lash out, and blame someone. They can’t blame black people, because it won’t do any good, and there is no payoff. So blame white people, blame businesses, blame authorities, and sue them all for a little satisfaction. That’s the payoff.
We fought a civil war to help get blacks out of slavery and off the plantations. Things were far from perfect and fair, but black people were part of the solution, and they were working to make things better. After the civil rights movement was co-opted by the left, blacks began to move back onto another plantation, the Democrat plantation, and they are stuck on it.
White privilege isn’t about skin color. It’s about culture and a way of life, and anyone can get in on it, providing they are willing to work for it. It’s tough for anyone who doesn’t want to work for it, and one thing is certain. The best way into the privilege is to get off the Democrat plantation.
“It’s white rage against progress”
Indeed it is. And it’s completely shameful about all the rioting and looting underway right now by the Tea Party, especially with the National Guard having to be called out in so many states. I simply don’t understand why the media are consistently downplaying all of these Tea Party riots of rage against blacks. It’s almost like they aren’t really happening for all you read about it in the press.
Seriously? Why is this bilge even published?
I didn’t read past the first few lines. Waste of time.
