DEMONSTRATING TO THE HOWARD U ADMINISTRATION THE REALITY OF INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM

DEMONSTRATING TO THE HOWARD U ADMINISTRATION THE REALITY OF INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM

STEP ONE: Look at the videos of the gunning down of Mr. Terence Crutcher and   Mr. Keith Lamont Scott.

STEP TWO: Ask yourself: If those two gentlemen had been white, would they be alive today?

STEP THREE: If the answer is a resounding yes, then institutionalized racism is a reality in America.


Q.E.D.

HOWARD U QUESTIONS THE REALITY OF INSTITUTIONAL RACISM



            The Howard University upper administration has run the University into the ground; the institution is basically broke. So the University administration went, hat in hand, to the National Science Foundation, which doled out some funds on condition that General Howard’s university keep up the dance to their tune, the tune of turning our focus away from white supremacy. And the National Science Foundation engag­es a for-profit white corporation to help the nation’s leading HBCU forsake its misguided preoccupation with white supremacy. In accord with one of the central premises of the Willie Lynch doctrine, the National Science Foun­dation ensures that Blacks love, respect, and trust only Whites.

ON BRINGING MAAT TO HOWARD UNIVERSITY


“The essence of Maat in the human sphere was not perfect social and economic equality but rather the harmonious coexistence of society’s different levels. Maat did not mean that the rich and powerful should become equal to the poor and weak, or vice-versa: in fact, texts that describe a society without Maat typically say things like ‘The beggars of the land have become rich men and the owners of things, those who have nothing.’ Instead, Maat meant that the rich and powerful should use their advantages not to exploit those less fortunate but rather to help them.” (Allen, p.116)


A situation exists at this moment on the ground within the Department of World Languages and Cultures of Howard University in which junior and inexperienced faculty appear to have been given authority over very senior and very experienced colleagues. The tail appears to be wagging the dog.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SPIN



A nation founded on the two greatest crimes against humanity is revered as a beacon of democracy and liberty. Is it any wonder that Donald J. Trump would be knocking at the door of the presidency of this nation?

THE TRUSTWORTHINESS OF OUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

Are these pollsters joking or what? Or are they just going along with the elaborate hoax? Are they not familiar with the opening paragraph of chapter 18, “How rulers should keep their promises,” of Machiavelli, The Prince, where the father of Western political thought says:

“Everyone knows how praiseworthy it is for a ruler to keep his promises, and live uprightly and not by trickery. Nevertheless, experience shows that in our times the rulers who have done GREAT things are those who have set little store by keeping their word, being skillful rather in cunningly deceiving men; they have got the better of those who have relied on being trustworthy.”


A ruler, then, can’t be trustworthy if he is to do GREAT things, such as, for example, making America GREAT again.

DEPLORABLE OR NOT


Would it be deplorable for a presidential candidate to gun down someone in cold blood in the middle of 5th Avenue?
Would it be deplorable for a supporter to overlook this little irregularity and still vote for the candidate?

Well… well… well!

Trump, Quintessentially “American”


Everybody seems to be freaking out over Donald Trump. But when you come to think of it, how is Trump—as they like to say—“un-American”? Is he not a white male whose mother and wife were born in Europe. Does he not claim to be a self-made billionaire? Is he not committed to expanding his personal net worth by any means necessary? Does he not believe that white people are superior to nonwhite people, because civilization was first developed by the Greeks, who were white? We could go on and on.

So, what’s the problem with Trump, if he is so very, very “American”?

THE VICTOR AND THE SPOILS: “TAKING THE OIL”



Donald Trump advocated “taking” the oil. Indeed, Henry Kissinger has reportedly declared that the oil reserves under Arab land were too important for humanity to be left in Arab hands. Trump and Kissinger are, then, true to the spirit of the Founding Fathers who simply seized the land and the property of the First Nations people in order to create this “great” nation known as the United States of America, the “greatest” nation in the entire history of mankind.
