I posit that this man is a statistical outlier on the Bell Curve.

His hatred for Western Civilization seems pretty mainstream for his demographic, however.

On December 24, 2015, Yancy warned his white audience that being “neither a ‘good’ white person nor a liberal white person will get you off the proverbial hook” for “the ways in which you perpetuate a racist society, the ways in which you are racist.” Whites must “face” the “racist history which…has formed” their “own racism” and do “battle with” their “white self” by acknowledging “the racist poison that is inside” of them.

Imagine Yancy being told by some hardcore liberal feminist that even being a liberal male will not get him off the hook, all men are rapists inside, it's a rapist society, they are all benefiting from the fear women have of rape, and they must spend their lives in guilt and shame for their rapist tendencies (and the fact that they never raped anyone matters nought; all men are rapists.)

That collective guilt is far less appealing to black men when it puts them on the wrong side. And men have been raping women way longer than whites have been doing whatever to blacks.

If he thinks he has it tough he should try making it through life on merit.

The hook?

I am not on any hook.

This is a hook in the clowns mind.

Not in reality.

If you look hard enough for sexism, racism, bigotry, etc., you’ll eventually find it—Even if you have to make it up.

The whole “Racism-Industrial-Complex” rests upon two assertions:
(1) that racism is one of the most evil things in the world, and all people have a duty to oppose it, and
(2) that thinking that there are statistically significant differences in average levels of abilities among different ethnic and racial groups is racist.

What happens when white people say “screw it, I don’t care any more”?

“professor of philosophy”

I stopped right there. In an age where sex and sexuality are determined by a person’s thoughts at a given moment, a “professor of philosophy” would be hard-pressed to convince me of anything.

Professor: All white people are racist
Me: Maybe there are no white people so therefore no racists

He’s a Black guy living in Atlanta. He’s got no problems. He needs to shut up.

I would like to see a headline that reads:

The life of a CONSERVATIVE Professor.

assuming that Yancy truthfully reproduced in his most recent essay the messages that he claims to have received

We can stop right there. I'm willing to make no such assumption since all of these career racist profiteers are inherently dishonest and perpetuate the racist myth for profit.

Blacks are racist. And they get rewarded for it. What percentage of blacks voted for the Great Deceiver for POTUS? What credentials did he have? That's proof that they voted for him simply because he's part black and proof they're racist.

Why is the solution (which was never really discussed in the article) always on the white side of the fence? Do blacks have NO responsibility for their situation or condition?

Now the big question, can a question be racist? Or is it just a question.

The guy has a very well-paid, light-work-demand position with exceptional benefits in an academic field of questionable value to society. He complains about racism. Sheesh! He is more well-off in many ways than 99% of the population. Get a life, you privileged jerko.

Liberia is nice this time of year or perhaps the Congo, if Liberia is too civilized. South Africa is warming up and could present even better opportunities than Zimbabwe or Botswana.

If I thought living the US were an ugly nightmare, I’d leave it. Cost of a plane ticket.

Nothing new under the sun.

Booker T. Washington (1865–1915) warned of such people within the black community in his 1911 book My Larger Education. He described them as “problem profiteers”:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” (p. 118)

Yancy is projecting.

Until these black race hustlers face up to the fact that racism is endemic among blacks little progress can be made in race relations.
