DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — A group of about two dozen Duke University students urged administrators Tuesday to create a better climate and provide more financial support for black students, saying they’ve been disappointed so far in how top officials have reacted to their viewpoints. The students, almost all of whom were black, unsuccessfully sought a meeting with university President Richard Brodhead at his campus office in hopes of explaining a document they describe as a call to action for the prestigious school. Concerns range from the future location of a black culture center to the lack of support for a black student group’s annual event and a recent study that suggested African-American students switched to less-difficult majors. The most immediate cause for students’ anger is an as-yet unpublished study by Duke researchers saying black students match the GPA of whites over time in part because they switch to majors that require less study time and have less stringent grading standards. Poster Comment: Whatchoo mean Ethnic Studies ain't be as hard as Law or Medicine? Dat's rayciss right der, sho' 'nuff. Muddafugga.

Education degrees are worthless for two reasons: blacks and low-IQ women major in them.
There was a time when blacks could excel through hard work, sacrifice and by embracing the values of their white peers. With determination not to succumb to crippling self pity those who shared European values and work ethic were able to make their mark. Lewis Latimer was an African American inventor and the only black member of The Edison Pioneers. But, these days blacks seem to want to excel in sports, politics or as "religious leaders", with many preaching the doctrine of entitlement. Walter Williams once said that he had to work harder than the other "rich white shits" to get his education. But, in the age of gangsta rap the idea of working harder to achieve anything just doesn't play well in Peoria...or especially Chicago. And, remember when Dr. Cosby addressed the annual black something or another and he criticized blacks in general for lacking ambition and young black males in particular for the crimes they commit? Former NAACP prez Kweisi Mfume said that he wasn't upset over what Cosby said, but he was disturbed by the fact that "Cos" said it in the presence of the media and it was reported in some outlets. Blacks don't want to hear that they are responsible for their own failures especially from a man who cannot be dismissed as a "racist". And, does anyone else find it odd that the Congressional Black Caucus ("race-hustling poverty pimps"__Rep. J. C. Watts) insists that they should be permitted to caucus without whites so they can better plan ways to break down barriers in places where blacks are not welcome? "Freshman Representative Steve Cohen, D-TN., who is white, (the grandson of a Jewish newsstand owner who immigrated from Lithuania_HD) pledged to apply for membership during his election campaign to represent his constituency, which is 60% African American. Hearn further reported that although the bylaws of the caucus do not make race a prerequisite for membership, former and current members of the caucus agreed that the group should remain "exclusively black." Rep. William Lacy Clay, Jr., D-MO., the son of Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr., D-MO., a co-founder of the caucus, is quoted as saying, "Mr. Cohen asked for admission, and he got his answer. He's white and the caucus is black. It's time to move on. We have racial policies to pursue and we are pursuing them, as Mr. Cohen has learned. It's an unwritten rule. It's understood." In response to the decision, Rep. Cohen stated, "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in." Clay issued an official statement from his office: Quite simply, Rep. Cohen will have to accept what the rest of the country will have to accept—there has been an unofficial Congressional White Caucus for over 200 years, and now it's our turn to say who can join 'the club.' He does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria, unless he can change his skin color. Primarily, we are concerned with the needs and concerns of the black population, and we will not allow white America to infringe on those objectives." The Afrophiliacs at Freedom 4um should be asked to explain their views about this caucus. It would be interesting to see how they can reconcile it with equal treatment under the law. If they can argue that it is consistent with the spirit of the constitution then I'd love to read an explanation of why whites should be forced to accept blacks where blacks at not welcome. ("The CBC demands equal treatment, that is, a privilege that our white counterparts in congress cannot have!") So far Ferret Mikey is the only one who has tried to fit "a square peg into a round hole" and make others believe that he believes it. He begins with a warped self serving belief in special entitlement and then tries to make it read like equal treatment which it clearly isn't. And, why doesn't Representative Steve Cohen sue for membership in the CBC? After all, Jews are covered by federal discrimination laws. Because congress has exempted itself from all labor, gender and racial discrimination laws. So, by upholding the CBC's exclusivity privilege the majority white congress could expel every black member because of their race and the courts and the president couldn't do a damned thing about it! And, what would the response from blacks be? "Weez gonna appeal! Weez gonna appeal!What choo meen da courts can't do nuthin 'bout it?" HAH!
embracing the values of their white peers. The establishment of Kwanzaa as a black separatist holiday is a direct refutation of all institions and customs of White Western Civilization. Openly adopting "white values" is considered to be capitulation to the notion that there is no black culture equal to the White West. Former NAACP prez Kweisi Mfume said that he wasn't upset over what Cosby said, but he was disturbed by the fact that "Cos" said it in the presence of the media and it was reported in some outlets. Years ago, when I was reading the Fort-Worth Star Telegram, a local story documented the fact that negro's say "don't air our dirty laundry in public for whitey to witness". Rep. Cohen stated, "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in." Imagine the Cat-5 chimping that would break out if a white group told niggers to go to hell for trying to force their way in?? Further, what if white women organized strictly along racial lines and told niggers "leave us alone, as a racial group we reject ALL blacks". See my sig below:

All I care to add to this delightfully informative post is that, blacks who thought of themselves as Americans sharing an all inclusive culture who went balls out to reach those formerly unreachable stars are lionized today in wonderful dramatizations such as, Something The Lord Made starring Mos Def as Vivien Thomas. (according to wiki, "A Washington, D.C. dentist, Dr. Irving Sorkin, (So, we have to assume that some artistic license was taken in the film by the non-Christians who saw this as a vehicle to further their objectives. In other words "Dr." Vivien Thomas {Mos Def} probably couldn't really fly or melt steel with his PLASMA VISION._HD) Sadly, Thomas Jefferson was right when he noted that blacks and whites could not peaceably live together in some imaginary egalitarian society. ( I remember one job I worked where blacks would stroll up and ask if we needed any help and my boss would say, "You bet, be here tomorrow morning at eight O'clock!" Needless to say none of them showed up the next morning. What they wanted was a job right then and there, something like moving material (preferably styrofoam) from one crap pile to another and then to be paid on the spot so they could knuckle bounce over to their crack dealer's crib "an sco' sum rock." It was just their bad luck that we just didn't keep any casual labor crap piles handy to benefit our less fortunate brothers who actually decided to try working out of sheer desperation.

discovered McCabe's article and brought it to Hollywood, where it was developed into the film.". 
Oh, it's a big wide world we live in....) If for no other reason black cultural icons and religious "riot organizers" (The RT. Rev. DR. Jesse Jackson, D.D., minister without portfolio who never needed bail money) have convinced black underachievers to seek instantaneous gratification and, "waiting a week or two for a paycheck is jus sum white man's bullshit." "Shit, nigga, if I don't gitz me sum munny today I'll prolly be in jail by next week!"
