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 The most immediate cause for students’ anger is an as-yet unpublished study by Duke researchers saying black students match the GPA of whites over time in part because they switch to majors that require less study time and have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.

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!
the values of our white peers got us where we are today, high-centered in the most wasteful culture on earth in an era of dwindling oil supplies. if we had embraced the values of the native americans when we first arrived on the continent, things might have turned out differently, but expecting white people to preserve their own habitat is like expecting the scorpion not to sting the frog in the middle of the river.
if we had embraced the values of the native americans when we first arrived on the continent, things might have turned out differently, but expecting white people to preserve their own habitat is like expecting the scorpion not to sting the frog in the middle of the river. If you mean to attribute some noble, Earth worship conservation philosophy to Native peoples then you're wrong again. Indians would stampede giant herds of Bison Bison (buffalo) over cliffs in order to harvest a relatively few animals, leaving hundreds or perhaps thousands to rot in the Sun. The only reason they didn't strip mine, drill for oil or manufacture petrochemicals like their evil white counterparts was that they were as clueless as Neanderthal men when it came to metal working and chemistry. One need only visit any reservation today to see the lean-to's surrounded by junk containing drunken Indians with cirrhotic livers destined to die by the age of 41. But as with your black buddies, Indians were quick to incorporate the white man's guns and alcohol into their noble cultures. They don't care if an entire ecology the size of Brazil is destroyed in the manufacture of a single run of Colts, Winchesters or Jack Daniels as long as "evil white traders" are supplying them with both. The predictable result is that they get liquored up and then bite the hand that feeds them. "These are Kiowas waiting for their monthly food ration from the reservation commissary around 1900. It gives a little insight into what life must have been like on the reservation." Do tell! And which likka sto is the next stop after they get their govt or casino dividend checks today? (WELCOME TO STUMBLING BEAR'S DISCOUNT FIREWATER TRADING POST. IN MOTHER EARTH WE TRUST-ALL OTHERS PAY WAMPUM!) And, do they resemble any other noble peoples to who you seem...unnaturally attracted?

It's odd that people do that. They do it with Lincoln and other presidents, etc. It's hard to think of an area where people don't do this attaching of nobility to any group. We should strive for nobility, but only a fool would think that Group X has already arrived and waiting for us to catch up. People don't care about reality. If the past wasn't good enough, they'll make up lies so they can feel good. The good old days weren't so good. The world is just as fucked up as it always was. But today, we have nukes, and the people that won't think twice in using them if they think it brings jesus back to whisk them away from all this death and destruction that they gleefully caused, so they can rule for another 1000 year reich. (but Satan is evil, you know...)
