Is this not the kind of attitude that keeps racism alive and well in Amerika?


If this were a white professor saying these things about black people, would that professor still have a job?


Should this new professor keep her job, despite her obvious bias against a certain demographic of not just her students, but the country's population as a whole?


What are we, as the "tolerant" generation, going to do about this sort of inequality in the world?

There's entire institutionalized school of thought that says blacks can't be racist.  I'm not fcking kidding.  It's taught in school.  In 2015!    Not 1850.  2015.  Graduate level sh-t.

Hilarious stuff.

I find it funny because history tells us -- loud n' clear -- where these azzhats wind up on the Douchebag Totem Pole.  They're wiping Hitler's azz in an overflowing Port-a-Jon in the "Great Sh!tter In The Sky."

 





Yes.  I said Hitler.

The lady's obviously a racist - although, I find this black-on-white racism to be a refreshing change of pace.
She shouldn't be allowed to hold a position of power where her prejudice can actually have an effect - y'know, like being a teacher.

It's taught in school.

Which school?

If the blacks want segregation then they should have it. There wouldn't be a black president without white Americans, though. That's not racism; that's the cold, hard truth.

A lot of them?  My wife got a dose of it in grad school.  It's called "white privilege." It's not new.

Shocking.  I'm so utterly bowled over with shock that you feel this way Bubbly.

Anyway that "fresh" Masagil feeling you describe likely serves as the genesis to that sick-o "Privileged" mindset.  I'm sure Hitler and the KKK felt that "refreshing change of pace" and privilege while dishing out their view of "justice" on their victims.





How many Hitlers is that, by the way?

Hey, if you get to make jokes about Hitler, I can make jokes about racism.
Didn't realize you would take the bait so easily, though.

Did I take the bait -- or did you?   

But hey, jokes are important, Bubbles!  Society is way too uptight about race -- it clearly needs more jokes about racism, since humor is a great way to illustrate the truth and tear down barriers.  And your "joke" is a perfect example as to why we need more humor about this topic.  Shall I explain?...

As the premise of your joke the stereotypes of aggressor vs. the oppressed, was refreshingly reversed -- as you put it.  But in reality society already agrees with those sentiments.  Black-on-white racism is currently far more tolerated than is its white-on-black variety.  Therefore not ironic.  And if one knows this, then your "joke" was a actually an attempt to acquiesce the stated stereotypical aggressor.  Not ironic, not daring and not a clever remark on societies foibles -- all of which are the hallmark of good humor.  Rather, it was an attempt at levity, where levity holds no value and will not stick.

For example -- if one of Hitler's buddies had joked with his friends, from high atop the guard tower... "I find this whole 'Final Solution' business to be a refreshing change of pace."  There's no humor there since it is fully in line with the aggressor -- not ironic, not daring, nor clever.  To be humorous, it would need to be reversed... and a prisoner getting off the train would have to say something like "You know what Herschel?  I think this camp is going to be a nice change of pace for us."

Sorry, I'll make sure my jokes are up to your right-wind standards next time.

Oh please... this is supposed to be light-hearted topic.
