The article was good until the last sentence. Any program loses credibility when before it even happens, racism is brought up. It shows the focus right from the start.
For once I agree with you Alf. Assuming that everyone who is not part of that particular group is racist shows why the series is being shown, over and over again. I’m quite certain that there will be rabid denouncements of my opinion on this site. The virtue signalers, the self proclaimed hunters and destroyers of racism, are virulently intolerant of any opinion other than their own.
🕯🌳Well then alot of posters on this blog loose alot of credibility for the samething, right?🌍🖖🐸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I personally recommend anything produced by Henry Louis Gates Jr.🌍🌍🌍
the same Henry Louis Gates who screamed racism when a cop was just doing his job in checking out a reported burglary? That led to Obama’s infamous sit down and have a beer summit? Gates who built his career at Harvard by alleging racism at every possible opportunity? That Henry Louis Gates? As for losing credibility, yes, virtue signaling is an obvious sign of faux intellectual condescension. Now, you can cut and paste a commentary from Democracy Now, and feel very good about yourself.
LOL.
He was arrested for being “disorderly”…that is, he wasn’t deferential to a cop in his own home which the cop knew by that time was his own home.
But shortly after that a Boston cop called him a ” banana-eating jungle monkey”, more than once. The cop did lose his job and got kicked out of the National Guard.
But it does kind of prove Gates’ point.
🕯🌳Listen to the unconscious bias/racism come from you.🖖🐸🌍🇺🇸Damn.🕯Hows the moat red.🗿👁
Learn the difference between Henry Louis Gates and Cornell West. Homogenizing the opinions of all black public intellectuals into one stereotypical mush betrays a lack of serious consideration of their work. Would you homogenize William Kristol and I.F. Stone because they’re both Jewish?
Asian-Americans succeed because they don’t obsess over racism. Their answer to racism is to do better than the racists and they get the last laugh. And the group that most virulently practices racism against Asian-Americans is blacks. Something tells me that is not going to be discussed.
My, if Gates had shown identification when asked, nothing would have occurred, but he played the “don’t you know who I am card” and ruined a valuable productive citizen’s career. How nice of him. [edit] As for knowing about prejudice, I’m female. What other group is trafficked as sex toys, targeted for murders on a regular basis, denied equal pay for equal work (you just have to look at the BBC to show how “progressives” don’t obey their own rules, and used as breeding mares by the wealthy. But I’m wasting my time, the self righteous virtue signalers scream racism and that’s the end of the conversation.
🕯🌳Wow touchy . Sorry your so hateful and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way either. I was POW and learned to forgive and I’m not talking Godly just from the heart.🖖🐸🌍
Gates had every right to be irritated at the treatment he received in his own home for being black. His situation reminds me of Malcolm X’s joke: “What do you call a black man with a PhD? A nigger.”
If, as some say, privilege is invisible to those who have it, that would apply to female privilege.
