Political quote of the day: From a black female college student unhappy with the level of diversity at her state funded, URBAN school: "Nobody looks like me"

Cant post the link, but go to charletson dot net and look at most commented stories on right side of page for C of C "Nobody looks like me" article.

So, the STATE funded College of Charleston has hired a chief of diversity. In a state that is almost bankrupt, they have a state school paying someone to analzye the skin color of students to ensure its the right amounts of each color.

And this fine, educated, unbias, non-discriminating C of C student can't help but realize "No one looks like me". The college she sought out, she applied to, she WANTED to attend......then complains that she doesn't like that there aren't enough students and teachers of her race there.

And another fine, enlightened C of C student, if you scroll down to the comments section on the article, says it's just honest when she says that it's easier to learn from someone who looks like you, that it's hard sometimes to grasp information "just thrown at us" from someone that doesn't look like them.


Now, of course, I can't help but think what if a white student complained that it was difficult to learn from a black professor because "He doesn't look like me", or if a white student at an almost all black high school complained and demanded more white students or teachers.

I think MLK's dream was for a day to come when race no longer mattered. It seems that we are going backwards.....but suprisingly, many who refuse to progress in race relations seem to be the same ones MLK was fighting for decades ago. MLK fought for people of minority races to live in a society in which their race wouldn't matter.........and now we see more and more of these folks like the C of C "No one looks like me" girl who are obssessed to make sure their race matters above all else. Very sad.

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it." -- Abraham Lincoln, 4 April 1861

Of course...he lied. People died.

"These Americans who run Washington, and their intellectual supporters, believe they have superior wisdom and greater intelligence than the masses. They believe they have been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us."

- Walter E. Williams ( Columnist )

 

[Tom Clancy]

The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community.

Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects – his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity.

– Henry Hazlitt
