If he's really a Berkley prof, he's a brave man.

I truly hope this goes viral. Someone should send it to the Trump Campaign.

The ever-present soft bigotry of low expectations and the permanent claim that the solutions to the plight of my people rest exclusively on the goodwill of whites rather than on our own hard work is psychologically devastating. No other group in America is systematically demoralized in this way by its alleged allies. A whole generation of black children are being taught that only by begging and weeping and screaming will they get handouts from guilt-ridden whites. No message will more surely devastate their futures, especially if whites run out of guilt, or indeed if America runs out of whites.

I condemn the manner of George Floyd’s death and join you in calling for greater police accountability and police reform. However, I will not pretend that George Floyd was anything other than a violent misogynist, a brutal man who met a predictably brutal end.

This sums up Floyd's life and death!

What is Cleo???

I also want to protect the practice of history. Cleo is no grovelling handmaiden to politicians and corporations. Like us, she is free.

The ancient Greek muse of history was Clio. Maybe Cleo is a variant spelling. She was a daughter of Zeus.

Good read. I think there are like 10 people on TD that will see it and not say tldr. Don't be that guy. (<- thereby ensuring that there will be 1000 tldr responses lol) At least it will be bumped, so there's that.



It's not that. I can't find my dictionary.

Holy shite- I want to get a beer with this guy. He laid out my thoughts on this issue perfectly.
No shite, but he or she is a lot more intelligent and articulate than I am.

This person is a lot smarter than me. Not going to lie, I had to look up some of those words. Nonetheless, most articulate and well-written article I've read on this stuff. And it would be very difficult to argue with any of the points raised.
