“Until we as a nation can affirm that black lives matter without equivocation”

Not all black lives matter. Not all white lives matter, either. Not to me. In 2011 in Chicago, 70% of victims had a criminal record. VICTIMS.

I’ll feel for the other 30% who died in Chicago. Their lives mattered.

In a modern industrial economy, endemic poverty is marked by broken families and substance abuse. Transitional poverty is a normal part of life that many or most people experience at some point in life, as they work their way up and deal with crises in their lives. But endemic poverty has elements that you see again and again. Broken families; substance abuse.

If you are moral and honorable in character, if you raise your family to be moral and honorable in character, if you get married and stay married and hold your family together, and keep the trash out of your life, the cycle will be broken in a generation. That, and learn a trade and work at it. Its not magic and its not a mystery but it works like magic for millions of people the world over.

Dr. Brittney Cooper is Assistant Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers University.

Yet another reason I have not to give any money to Rutgers University.

I don’t fear Black rage. If the self hating Whites and the White Liberal fear black rage, I do not really care.

I think Brittany has had a very privileged position at the dinner table.

Must be all that pent up black rage for getting her title by affirmative action rather than earning the title.

I agree fully. Afraid? I think not. Try to harm me or my family and you will assume room temperature

“The police want all the power, prestige and respect that come with being a police officer, but none of the responsibility. That responsibility entails keeping the peace, de-escalating conflict and valuing and protecting all lives. When the state gives you a gun and the right to use lethal force, you commit to being held to a higher standard.”


Even a stuck clock is right twice a day.

I'm already in there and the level of illogical ignorance and utter stupidity is vast. Marx and Stalin would have been at home and quite comfortable there, until the pogroms started in on those who advocated for them.

It's hard to keep quiet and continue observation of those who are oh so misled in reality. But it's also not surprising when the education system is geared for automatons.

And if so, why?

I’m curious, when did the term “White Privilege” become part of the every day lexicon?

I first heard it in the 1960s as part of the radical Bill Ayers-style Communist assault on America and our values. It's been standard in our (Communist) college classrooms for the past 50+ years, again as part of the deconstruction of America.

I look forward to hearing about Officer Liu’s and Officer Ramos’ white privilege.

(Yes, Puerto Ricans are on average mostly of European heritage, but I suspect they’re not the kind of white people most people who natter on about “white privilege” have in mind.)
