“vast majority” are earnest, ethical and nonviolent human beings??? That’s exactly the problem. A vast majority of black males are NOT any of those things. Especially ethical and nonviolent.
I wish the good professor would provide some evidence for this opinion. Personally, I doubt this number is a majority at all, much less a "vast majority."
The comment is a lot like the continued claim that Islam is an ROP, continued assertion as if reality will bow if your perceptions insist.
See my tagline.
I drove through an all black neighborhood the other day, and I saw lots of bars on windows and doors.
They must be there to keep the white policemen out.
White Privilege is old stuff.
Political Correctness and Affirmative Action have replaced White Privilege with Black Privilege, Brown Privilege, Homo Privilege, Gender Privilege and Muslim Privilege.
One of the black neighborhoods where I live is commonly referred to as Grab all, even by the black people who live there. (They see it, they grab it, they grab it all, grab all.) It is not a recent name for the area either, goes back a long time.
I guess this professor missed the white 20 year old in Salt lake City Utah who was unarmed and shot by a black cop.
Not a whole lot of “privilege” there
Like that tagline. IMO, one surefire way to change a libs perception, challenge them to take a leisurely midnight stroll along any MLK Blvd. I bet the reaction would be priceless.
BFL
>>>But even though blacks in America have made tremendous political and economic gains since the Civil Rights movement began, the fears and misconceptions of too many whites are little changed from the 1960s. White acquaintances and relatives still react with dubiousness or surprise when I recount positive interactions with black students in my 20 years as a Chicago Public Schools teacher.<<<
So he’s saying that black people have made enormous gains in the past 50 years, while white people are still stuck in their old bigoted attitudes.
Presented without proof, too, other than an anecdote from his friends and family.
There was a survey published in a British newspaper last year that concluded the United States was one of the most racially tolerant places on the planet. Yes, it contradicts his anecdote.
My anecdote is the opposite of his. Many of the white peopled I know are among the most tolerant, least bigoted people I know. They go out of their way to judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. It has been literally decades since I’ve heard a white people freely express racial antagonism to me, or use a racial slur around me. Now, that’s an anecdote, too, but a lot different from the professors.
My conclusion after reading this is that the professor thinks he can determine attitude, character, and politics from skin color alone - and whites are found wanting. A pithy definition of someone who thinks they can determine those things from skin color is “racist pig.”
I'll bet the gentle giant was a known entity..
and Mr. Professor, the cop suffered injuries, a shot was fired inside or near his car, and they are also people saying that the giant was in attack mode...least that's what I read....
why is it that some people always seem to be in suspicious areas doing suspicious things....and then they cry if something happens....
STOP ASKING FOR IT!
PC largely consists of not noticing and not remembering reality.
IOW, it’s pretty much Newspeak.
Hey professor - Take an evening stroll down Martin Luther King Boulevard in any fair sized city and see how your white guilt fantasies work out for you.
I would love to have the good professor face down a good old fashioned mob attack knockdown by local “teenagers”...
Brown also apparently had a juvie record.
Few black and white questions and answers

we can bet that Mr. Professor lives in a white area, maybe gated, with transportation to pick him up and to his destinations, and if he has kids, which is doubtful seeing the lack of testosterone, but if he did have kids, I would bet they would be in private school.
Nope. This misstates the facts, and anything further is fruit of the poisonous tree.
