Where does one even begin with this level of absurdity? This so-called professor of law posits the question “Can My Children Be Friends With White People?”, and unequivocally answers with “NO.” He uses lots of broad brush arguments with no basis in fact that I would assume he KNOWS would never hold up in court, and would be immediately thrown out as hearsay and slander. He is a “law” professor, right? Let’s look at some of the more egregious examples of his projectionism and hypocrisy.
“Donald Trump’s election has made it clear that I will teach my boys the lesson generations old, one that I for the most part nearly escaped.”
As you do later in your diatribe, you are associating Donald Trump and his supporters with racism against blacks, yet you provide not one scintilla of evidence that Donald Trump is or has done anything racist against blacks. I guess the approximately 8% of the black community who voted for Trump aren’t black enough for you? Perhaps they are “Uncle Toms?”
“The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous dream of black and white children holding hands was a dream precisely because he realized that in Alabama, conditions of dominance made real friendship between white and black people impossible.”
Mr. Yankah is accusing an entire race of being racist, but in doing so is showing himself to be the bigoted racist. There are SOME white people who are racist, just as there are SOME black people who are racist. Mr. Yankah, why aren’t you embracing the words of the man whose coattails you hide behind by judging INDIVIDUALS by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? Hypocrite.
“History has provided little reason for people of color to trust white people in this way, and these recent months have put in the starkest relief the contempt with which the country measures the value of racial minorities.”
No reason to trust whites? While blacks were at one time enslaved by whites (AND by blacks, AND by arab muslims), you were also freed by WHITES. You were given the right to vote by WHITES. The Civil Rights Act was passed by, you guessed it, WHITES. The VAST majority of welfare dollars going to the black community is also be collected overwhelmingly from… wait for it… WHITES. Sir, if you couldn’t trust whites, you would still be in chains working in cotton fields. If you can read this, thank a WHITE Republican.
“America is transfixed on the opioid epidemic among white Americans (who often get hooked after being overprescribed painkillers — while studies show that doctors underprescribe pain medication for African-Americans). But when black lives were struck by addiction, we cordoned off minority communities with the police and threw away an entire generation of black and Hispanic men.”
Notice what the disingenuous “professor” of law does here. He does the bait and switch. He tries to equate the opioid problem in the white community with the illicit trade and addiction problems of crack, heroin, and meth in the black community. Both are horrible, but they are NOT the same thing. One who is prescribed opioids by a doctor is generally taking them for pain associated with a medical procedure, at least initially. Those who take and become addicted to crack, meth, and/or heroine do it by CHOICE from the beginning.
“I will teach my boys to have profound doubts that friendship with white people is possible.”
You, sir, are a flaming racist, projecting your own faults onto people whom you have never met, and do not know. You are making a sweeping generalization that is PURELY based on race while pointing the finger of racism at others. Hypocrite.
“Only white people can cordon off Mr. Trump’s political meaning, ignore the “unpleasantness” from a position of safety.”
EXCUSE ME???? WHO has been more in danger since Trump was elected, and just as much during Barack Obama’s presidency??? You can’t continue the bullcrap lie that blacks are being targeted by white cops, or are being murdered by whites at some abnormally high rate. The ACTUAL crime statistics prove that to be entirely false. The ACTUAL crime statistics prove that blacks are MANY times more likely to be murdered by a BLACK person than by a white person. They also prove that a white person is more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person. But let’s go back to the “fear” thing. Are their roving bands of whites roaming the inner cities LITERALLY hunting black people? No. There ARE mobs of blacks beating up whites. How about things like the “knockout” “game?” Most perpetrators have been black attacking whites. If there is ANY group that should be afraid of another based on the evidence, it is whites who should be “suspicious” of blacks. But I don’t advocate the broad brush racism that you do. I advocate a situational suspicion instead of a race-based suspicion. If an angry mob of ANY color of people is moving toward you, you don’t wait around to see if they want to be friends. If someone is pointing a gun at you, it doesn’t matter what skin color they are. If someone is passing laws that are detrimental to your freedom and liberty, it doesn’t matter what their skin color happens to be, right?
“So, too, is his history of housing discrimination,…”
Again, you offer ZERO proof of your allegations. Just like the rest of the Alinsky-left, you are just slinging mud to see what sticks. You are repeating progressive media talking points with no citation, or research of your own. You’re supposed to be a freaking LAW professor. You of all people should know you don’t build a case on hearsay.
“…his casual conflation of Muslims with terrorists,…”
See above. He has NEVER said that all muslims are terrorists. He has POINTED OUT that many of the terrorist attacks in this country have been committed by MUSLIMS, most of whom were IMMIGRANTS or “REFUGEES” who were NEVER PROPERLY VETTED. Donald Trump has been attempting to put in place travel and immigration restrictions on the VERY SAME countries that BARACK OBAMA did. So, are you going to be intellectually honest and call Barack Obama an islamophobe and racist now? No, you’re too much of an intellectually weak coward to be that even handed.
“…his reducing Mexican-Americans to murderers and rapists.”
TRUMP. NEVER. SAID. THIS. You are quoting a viral MISQUOTATION of Donald Trump when he said that there are SOME bad people, rapists and murderers, coming across our border. And he is FACTUALLY, 100% CORRECT to say so. Does MS-13 ring a bell? Do you read the news AT ALL? There are dozens of stories every week of illegal aliens killing Americans, stealing identities, and all sorts of other crimes, ON TOP OF THEIR ORIGINAL CRIME OF COMING HERE ILLEGALLY. Oh, and you refer to a group of “Mexican-Americans.” I say you’re either American, or you’re whatever nationality the country you came from calls its citizens. If you become an American citizen, there can be no dual loyalty. One cannot serve two masters. There can be no hyphens.
“They bristle at the accusation that they supported racism, insisting they had to ignore Mr. Trump’s ugliness.”
So, if I as a white American say that I do not support or condone racism in any way, I am to be dismissed and labeled a racist despite the COMPLETE LACK OF EVIDENCE that would back any assertion of racism, but if YOU say you’re not a racist, despite an entire article of evidence which the New York Times has published for you, we’re supposed to just believe you? Again, Mr. Morally Superior Black Man, I point you back to the message of MLK, Jr. which you hide behind and PRETEND to embrace. He would disavow you in a heartbeat, you noisy cymbal and clanging gong.
“They protest: Have they ever said anything racist? Don’t they shovel the sidewalk of the new black neighbors? Surely, they say, politics — a single vote — does not mean we can’t be friends.”
Yes, you jackwagon. That’s EXACTLY what we say, and BELIEVE. I don’t care if my neighbor is black, white, latino, oriental, Indian, Native American, etc. I care that my neighbor ISN’T AN A**HOLE.
“My bi-ethnic wife, my most trusted friend, understands she is seen as a white woman, even though her brother and father are not. Among my dearest friends, the wedding party and children’s godparents variety, many are white.”
Funny how if a white person points out that they have black friends, or even a black spouse, people like YOU immediately say they have a “token black” friend to “hide their racism.” Do you see the irony here?
As a self-respecting PERSON, I would be ashamed to pen my name to such an ignorant, racist piece of drivel as this NYT article by Mr. Ekow N. Yankah. However, the left has no shame, and doesn’t seem to have a problem exposing their own ignorance, racism, hatred, and hypocrisy. In fact, they seem to be wearing them as badges of “honor.”
