One of the things that is truly outrageous about this Obadele affair is the degree to which this unrepentantly racist criminal has been honored in academia. Recall that he got his Ph.D. (Temple Univ.?) and has taught at several major universities (Prarie View, etc.) AFTER he was convicted of these crimes.
Imagine how far Sam Bowers or some other white racist would have gotten had he applied to graduate school in the 1970s? Even if he had been admitted, would he have gotten a job afterwards? What self-respecting university would allow him to spew his racist propaganda under their aegis?
We must not forget. Obadele's story is not only about his crimes (those are obvious and heinous enough). It is also about the intellectual crimes of those who honored this man, advanced his career, and put him in a position which allowed him respectability and the opportunity to shape young minds.

Does he know about this? Is he still living? I bet he'd be outraged.He died in '99 but I'll bet he's turning over right about now. That was a very difficult time for him.

Bourbon, you're right, and it's yet more evidence that we MUST take control BACK of our infostructure. (I MAY have invented that word; not sure:) From kindergarten through PhD, liberals control the vast majority of acedemia. We must wrest control back of that and the media if we're ever to change the direction of our country.

Now comes Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes — the clown prince of Jackson city politics.Thanks bourbon. Salter's Opinion piece is well worth the time to read, ponder & digest. He speaks a truth others are afraid to whisper.

Stokes is a real loony but his "Conned-sticthee-wents"
still vote him in.
He stole the MS flag out of the City Council chambers during our flag debate. I could go on but I won't!!!
