Elimination of Black Studies?

[Whilst the MSM/DEM gushes and eroticizes over Hillary Clinton allegedly au naturale, there are actually important issues occurring and demanding attention in the world (It should be no surprise that Bill and Hillary haven't been in the same hemisphere much less the same bedroom in, literally, years. But to mention that truth would be, after all, judgmental and excoriative and unfair. Yeah. Right. My guess is that Bill relies upon locals, and Hillary relies upon electronics.).]

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Greece is officially insane.

And yet, despite this all, America seems to be realizing that "black studies" may, themselves, be racist.

The Most Persuasive Case for Eliminating Black Studies? Just Read the Dissertations.

NB: To see Chronicle editors’ final response to the below post, please read “A Note to Readers.”

You’ll have to forgive the lateness but I just got around to reading The Chronicle’s recent piece on the young guns of black studies. If ever there were a case for eliminating the discipline, the sidebar explaining some of the dissertations being offered by the best and the brightest of black-studies graduate students has made it. What a collection of left-wing victimization claptrap. The best that can be said of these topics is that they’re so irrelevant no one will ever look at them.

That’s what I would say about Ruth Hayes’ dissertation, “‘So I Could Be Easeful’: Black Women’s Authoritative Knowledge on Childbirth.” It began because she “noticed that nonwhite women’s experiences were largely absent from natural-birth literature, which led me to look into historical black midwifery.” How could we overlook the nonwhite experience in “natural birth literature,” whatever the heck that is? It’s scandalous and clearly a sign that racism is alive and well in America, not to mention academia.

Then there is Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of “Race for Profit: Black Housing and the Urban Crisis of the 1970s.” Ms. Taylor believes there was apparently some kind of conspiracy in the federal government’s promotion of single family homes in black neighborhoods after the unrest of the 1960s. Single family homes! The audacity! But Ms. Taylor sees that her issue is still relevant today. (Not much of a surprise since the entirety of black studies today seems to rest on the premise that nothing much has changed in this country in the past half century when it comes to race. Shhhh. Don’t tell them about the black president!) She explains that “The subprime lending crisis, if it did nothing else, highlighted the profitability of racism in the housing market.” The subprime lending crisis was about the profitability of racism? Those millions of white people who went into foreclosure were just collateral damage, I guess.

I'm tired. I admit it. I am SO tired.

Of having to forcefully acknowledge that many striations of blacks are VICTIMS rather than lazy asses cultivated and mandated by local and federal governments, for -- literally -- generations.

And their progenitors in SlaveManShip?

Demorats.

Breaking down the nuclear black family. Replacing fathers with cash. Favoring cash over fathers.

And you wonder why blacks portray themselves as NIGGERS and BITCHES -- personally and societally -- and demean themselves?

Look no farther than purposeful government intervention.

THEY are your Slavedrivers.
