“The university is also giving $1,500 grants to students who want to fight racism.”
Maybe they could offer free brown shirts with the money.
when seeking solutions to problems, one method is sit around the table for a brainstorming session and the first step is to establish the “ideal.” In a perfect world what would the university look like. Then establish the “actual.” Where are we failing? Where are we over-zealous? Then, how do we move from the actual to ideal realizing perfect is never attainable. I doubt there is not much to be done. Perhaps nothing. What say ye??
“These were premised on the claims that anti-Black racism plays a powerful role at Princeton...”
And that is the problem. Racism is properly defined as “the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.”
But the distinguishing is done by each race, not one or two unless it is further distinguished from all directions. So by projecting the act of discrimination on one race, by one of all other races, they are creating their own exceptionalism of that one race which is the charge against the process they blame. They aren’t any different other than from the direction they are coming. They scream it’s about equality...but putting one race as more important is exceptionalism. They are not treating the problem, they are treating the symptom. If all other races didn’t have people disliking them, then it could be narrowed. But there are blacks that are anti-white, and everyone hates the Irish (sarc). So, they spend three generations teaching discriminated racism, that which is aimed at one race, then try to stop it after the horses have left the barn? Day late.....
Can’t blame someone for this. The ones that started this have died of old age. (Probably rich)

They’re not trying to reorder themselves to fight racism; they are trying to find ways to entrench it further. Ignoring their Orwellian Newspeak, it is blatant racism to give people academic jobs and promotions and to admit students who are not qualified based on their skin color. And it is a blatant volation of civil rights to eliminate people’s free speech except for what is pre-approved.
They own it.
Any business person will tell you that.
Princeton needs to fire 98% of their faculty and staff and replace them with people from Morehouse College.
Since Morehouse is smaller, random seniors (only of color) can be appointed to faculty positions at Princeton. On the job training will show the world any black instructor is equal to OR superior to any racist white instructor.
It’s a start.
And the student body? Any black person who applies will be admitted until the limit of students is met. Test and standards are inherently racist and biased against blacks. It’ll be ‘first come, first served’...
All student costs will be paid for out of Princeton’s massive endowment... Fancy racist homes of white professors will be given to new incoming black professors on a ‘first come, first served basis’. Which will be the ruling subculture of Princeton from this time forward. All private schools for children of privileged white children will be shuttered.
Former White Princeton Professors will be required to attend classes at the new Jeff Bezos Center for Racial Reform - and be publicly spanked at the end of each lesson. The demons of white guilt must be driven out...
It’s a start. The problem with the Salem Witch Trials is they gave up too soon... a mistake Princeton won’t make...
