Several months ago the president of Loyola University Maryland, Brian Linnane, announced to the faculty that he had been thinking a lot about the Baltimore riots that took place two years earlier. (The riots, you may recall, were a response to the death of a local black drug gangster while in a police van after he had been arrested. All of the police involved, most of whom were black, were eventually acquitted at trial. The rioters looted the CVS pharmacies in town, emptying them of oxycodone and other painkillers, then burned them to the ground along with police cars, private homes, and public buildings. The former mayor of Baltimore publicly referred to the rioters as “our children” and instructed the police to stand down and “give them their space” to loot, vandalize, and burn down parts of her city).
In response to all of this the college president decided that what is needed to reduce the likelihood of such events in the future is to put the affluent, mostly white, Loyola University Maryland faculty through a round of cultural Marxist “racial justice” training. Such language reminded me of Chinese and Vietnamese communist “re-indoctrination camps” where attendees were pressured/coerced into becoming good little obedient communists. So, naturally, I had to attend to see what it was all about.

The author mentions the affluence of Columbia, MD, educated and well-employed blacks. True, Howard County has an average income in the top three in the nation, but the social structure is a bit on the down slide, with more and more Section 8 rentals in formerly stable neighborhoods, along with the crime and drugs that often accompany them.
ReplyDeletePrince George's county is the wealthiest county in the US. However. It is not a place to live. I know I lived there 26 years. Crime is high. home prices low.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for the wealth is due to upward mobility in the US Govt of minorities thanks to Mr Obama.
Did you know that the United States of America government has an organization called BIG. Blacks in Government. They are given all the time needed for meetings etc. I don't think we have WIG. When I was working I didn't even have a Union for complains etc.
Definitely worth reading. I've said this many times before: until blacks ADMIT that there is a problem, the steps to healing and rehabilitation will not occur. All the money in world will not help a race who don't want to help themselves.
ReplyDeleteThey continue to blame others for their problems. It's much easier to blame others than take responsibility. Hillary has the same disease.
