What is making these Black students feel uncomfortable is that they have been brainwashed. Blacks for generations have been brainwashed to believe that white racism is the cause every affliction in their community. Drug and gang culture, soaring no father families, disdain for education etc. are all afflicted on them from a white majority and they have no responsibility for these things and are solely victims. This brainwashing is perpetuated by race hustlers like Sharpton and liberal politicians like Obama who benefit from Blacks knowing their place in the liberal plantation and voting as a block for Democrats who will protect them.
Rachel Jeantel and Trayvon Martin are the products of this liberal plantation culture. They fail in school, but that is the fault of the white run system, not their own apathy toward learning. Using proper English, wanting to go to college, getting good grades is denigrated as acting white and betraying their race. They immerse themselves in a destructive gang and gangsta culture, where rap stars, drugs dealers and pimps are role models for success. No wonder Black feel out of place in a normal society.
Don’t care. Get on with life. Don’t stick your face in my business.
W.E.B. Du Bois was a communist ...
I see the twinkle of 'I'm going to get a big fat grant' in Jake's eyes... May I suggest these kids call home? It's what the kids in every other ethic group do, they pick up the phone and talk to Mom... Maybe LESS hand holding is the answer - not more.
LMBO!!
And the only jobs available for people majoring in African American Studies?
Why, teaching African American Studies of course!
What's wrong with this picture?
I guess this kid George Lee is a perfect interview for this silly liberal puff piece. It sounds like he wants to find a street corner on campus where he can stand around with his baseball hat on sideways and hang out with other people of his same "culture". Didn't America used to be a "melting pot" before the scumbag liberal Democrats and their identity politics switched it over to "multi-cultural"? Funny how everything the scumbag liberal Democrats touch turns to turd.
“Simmons said universities could also develop multicultural programs that do a better job of representing the entirety of students’ home cultures, rather than simply holding a stereotypical celebration for major holidays.”
How about this:recognize that in life you need to adapt to the dominant culture. When in Rome do as the Romans do. It is counterproductive to make the dominant culture feel like outsiders to suit the many minorities. If we keep emphasizing the divisions between people we will find we have as many culture to recognize as we have students.
