The strange goings on at colleges and in the streets of cities like St Louis makes me wonder if blacks have decided to revert to segregation.
Peaceful protests Friday turned violent when protesters broke a window and splattered paint on Mayor Lyda Krewson’s house. Police in riot gear responded, moved the crowd away from the house and eventually broke up the group with tear gas. Later, at least two armored vehicles were deployed.
The protests began Friday morning after a white former St. Louis officer was found not guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a black suspect.
In 1995 Lyda’s husband, Jeff Krewson, was tragically murdered in an attempted carjacking in front of their Central West End row house. With the support of family, friends, and many great neighbors, Krewson continued to raise her 2 kids there.
Why would any white person want to live in St Louis ?
The man shot by the officer, who was charged with first degree murder in spite of the fact that the man he shot was a drug dealer and armed and fleeing police at high speed.
The videos of the incident clearly show that the shooting was part of a confrontation.
Why in the world was the policeman overcharged?
The riots in Ferguson and Baltimore show that cities with large black populations are powder kegs.
A white reporter is attacked while trying to provide news coverage.
He asks why they picked on him ? He is white. He says, “My boss told me if there is any violence, leave, so we are leaving.”
It doesn’t require court judgements that blacks don’t like.
White and Asian students studying at Dartmouth’s Baker Library are harassed.
Why is this going on ? Dartmouth is an even more leftist campus than when I was there 25 years ago.
I don’t seem to be the only one noticing.
What are the Democrats up to today? They’re going back to their roots and have gotten back into the sign-posting business again. They’re putting up signs in every cafe in the land to let us Deplorables know we can’t sit with them. They’re trying to be sneakier about it this time. The signs don’t say “TRUMP SUPPORTERS GO AROUND BACK” or “DEMOCRATS ONLY.” Oh no! That would be too obvious. Instead, they’re posting these. I found this at the local coffee shop I had been frequenting instead of Starbucks. I haven’t been back since.
It seems to be all over, not just streets and college campuses.
This book, which explains how Affirmative Action harms black students, might help.
Sander and Taylor have long admired affirmative action’s original goals, but after many years of studying racial preferences, they have reached a controversial but undeniable conclusion: that preferences hurt underrepresented minorities far more than they help them. At the heart of affirmative action’s failure is a simple phenomenon called mismatch. Using dramatic new data and numerous interviews with affected former students and university officials of color, the authors show how racial preferences often put students in competition with far better-prepared classmates, dooming many to fall so far behind that they can never catch up. Mismatch largely explains why, even though black applicants are more likely to enter college than whites with similar backgrounds, they are far less likely to finish; why there are so few black and Hispanic professionals with science and engineering degrees and doctorates; why black law graduates fail bar exams at four times the rate of whites; and why universities accept relatively affluent minorities over working class and poor people of all races.
Those black students were not studying for final exams like the white and Asian students they harassed. Maybe they know it is no use.
Now, Dartmouth has all sorts of black only facilities but still the BLM protests and harasses white and Asian students.
I think I know why. I spent 15 years teaching medical students in small group settings. Many of these students were black but few were American born and raised. Most were foreign born and grew up in countries that do not have the American black obsession with victim rights.
I don’t know the solution.
