Mr. Collier shows in his blog title how some blacks have disdain and contempt for whites on an issue as simple as acting a certain way. That "way" is now labeled by many blacks as acting white instead of just acting right and if they that choose to feel that way so easily about something so innocent it is easy to expect they have much more serious feelings about whites that can easily be defined as racist especially by the NAACP's standards.<br /><br />Sharpton, Jackson, and Barber, etc. lack credibility when the only black issues they discuss are those they can label and use as racial when there are so many other issues that effect black lives and advancement that are self made.<br /><br />The Duke Lacrosse incident being a good example of how the NAACP is so willing to shout race and when the truth finally comes out not a peep from them. If the incident had been white girl-black men they would have been silent and no white group had better not say a word because the PC pundits would have had a field day with them.<br />What is fair about that especially from a group that claims to only want fair treatment?<br /><br />Then the two black gang member can brutally murder a white girl not long after that and again not a peep from the NAACP about it.<br />But you can bet the farm had the men been white and the girl black they again would have been marching in the streets over it.<br />Again, what is fair about that?<br /><br />As far as the current topic,<br />I think there is a good chance the prof. would have acted totally differently had the responding officer been black but of course he will never admit that.<br /><br />So many issues and so few will solved in our lifetime.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-66518066027482943202009-07-26T12:06:22.203-07:002009-07-26T12:06:22.203-07:00"End incidents of racism, and prejudice"..."End incidents of racism, and prejudice"<br /><br />Yes, let's get on that.

Do you really think that Al Sharpton wants to go out and get a real job?<br /><br />The real racism in this case is Gates going apeshit on the police officer just because he's white.

There is a simple solution to Jesse J...@Anon 9:10am<br />There is a simple solution to Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton. End incidents of racism, and prejudice, and this would end their protest efforts! The Gates incident provides fodder for the individuals that use race as an excuse; I could see officer behaving in this manner with an African American such as musicians T-Pain, and Soulja boy. Yet, Professor Gates and intellectuals like James Collier have discouraged the behavior of African Americans of the fore mention; however, this incident shows that the ugly specter of racism still exists. I have to agree with the fore mention poster, many Americans do not make class distinctions when it comes to African Americans.<br /><br />This is of course is unlikely, what is never discuss in many of these blog posting and discussions, It is not in the best interest of the majority group in this case, White Americans, or groups that can indentify as such to admit to any actual bias or wrong doing.<br /><br />Doing so, would actually require a morally or ethical concession on the part of the dominant group. One way to maintain social and economic advantage over the other group is to constantly demonize and marginalize the group, create social constructs that discourage and prevent advancement.<br /><br />What this does is maintain a social order of limited opportunities and resources, and discourages competition from the other group in the social hierarchy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-42385573124448266282009-07-25T09:37:34.193-07:002009-07-25T09:37:34.193-07:00Lincolnperry, your insinuations on how I operate a...Lincolnperry, your insinuations on how I operate are distracting, and nearly slanderous.

How they discuss the topic does.<br /><br />The NAACP has one major failing.<br />It chooses to ignore ALL of the issues blacks bring upon themselves in America.<br />The only issues they discuss or bring to press or even give attention are ones that they can call racial which of course is anything they can describe as white doing something to blacks.<br /><br />When Bill Cosby bravely spoke the truth about how blacks hurt themselves with their actions he was shot down by the very black community he was trying to help.<br /><br />Those people that treated him so badly choose to keep their heads in the sand and continue to blame their station in life on being a victim of racial issues instead of taking responsibility for their own actions.<br /><br />The only time you see Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or William Barber in NC is when they attempt to wring their hands and gnash their teeth about something they can claim some white person did to some white person.<br /><br />Black gangs can kill each other in droves. Black girls can drag themselves to the depths of poverty with illegitimate pregnancy, and black kids can choose to ignore their education but does the NAACP address these issues where it is seen to do so?<br /><br />Perhaps they do but the vast majority of what is PUBLICLY seen is anything but self examination.<br /><br />Addressing those issues as well as race relations will advance the lives of blacks and isn't that what the national association for the ADVANCEMENT of colored people is about or is it as it seems, a conglomeration of hate mongers that exist to only rear their heads when they can shout RACIST?<br /><br />anon and proud of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-88897022619092134352009-07-24T23:33:05.078-07:002009-07-24T23:33:05.078-07:00How in the heck does posting anon "mean"...How in the heck does posting anon "mean" anything????<br /><br />So you put a name up.

Any little thing said or done to you is going to be perceived as being racially motivated/insensitive. Over immersion in “Black talk” with colleagues and students on a daily basis, discussing America’s racial history, contemporary problems with race, the White psyche, and so on are going to necessarily make someone very biased against White authority and see shadows, like a paranoid man, where shadows don’t exist. <br /><br />The same phenomenon is observable in Whites who, having once been everyday next-door-neighbor-Joes, find themselves coming under the influence of pro-White/White supremacist dogma and begin to look at their Black neighbors differently/suspiciously. They begin to develop a distrust, if not outright hate, for every Black person they see, without even knowing them on an individual basis. <br /><br />This may be an extreme comparison, and I don’t mean to equate Dr. Gates’ reaction to the White police officer as somehow indicative of a Black nationalist/militarist bent on the part of Dr. Gates; however, it’s clear by his behavior, during and after the incident in question, that his over-immersion in all things Black has jaded his ability to think clearly, fairly and objectively when interacting with White authority figures. It’s as if we witnessed a Pavlov’s dog knee-jerk reaction at the sight of the White officer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-83651426221286881782009-07-24T14:56:35.932-07:002009-07-24T14:56:35.932-07:00@Anon 7:57
