As someone who wrote a book on campus racism, I need everyone to bookmark this tweet. Once the heat gets hot on Ole Miss student, this will happen. a. Media/his allies will infantile him. They will call him a 'kid' or a 'boy'. That is to create a narrative...

I hate this video because it reinforces this idea that Black parenting is centered around violence. This ISN'T good parenting. This is lazy parenting where you haven't set expectations, and now YOU are the one acting out. We need to get rid of this.

That's too young to understand what is racist. b. He will issue a mea culpa where he pretends to apologize for his action. May even have a press conference with Black people behind him. c. He'll say...that wasn't the real me. And that he hates being judged by that one moment

Funniest thing: White folks hated affimative action, so they used it as a slur against Black folks. When the SCOTUS got rid of it, they were happy, but missed their slur, so they were sad again. But they found DEI, and voila, they could use it as a slur, and were happy again.

Cornel West is proof positive of my central belief: Fame is corrosive. It corrupts. It reveals all of the bad part of your character. And what's worse? It's more addictive than heroin, and you'll chase it your whole life because of the need to have your ego fed. Don't seek it.

@SFDamnPodcast First, we don't know if there's a father in the household. Second, as a father, being a father doesn't give you magical powers. It's about parenting, either together or singularly, consistently, so that children understand expectations and then set their own expectations.

Conservatives will attack HBCUs in different ways: 1. Say a 'segregated' system for Blacks is discriminatory to whites. Absurd, but all of their arguments are absurd. 2. Cut funding at the state level for public HBCUs. Urge merging w/PWI. 3. Cut Pell/Force into loans.
