James Madison University offers Black Lives Matter course

[Superfly]

I wish I was making this up, but I'm not.... Take a look at the course description from the JMU website:





It's bad enough that JMU is going to teach a course centered on an openly racist organisation that's not only called for violence against and the death of police officers, but has had several police officers murdered in their name, but they are also perpetuating lies.

They claim that BLM is fighting against "State sanctioned violence" against black communities. That's simply a lie. They also falsely claim that right now, America is the era of a "New Jim Crow". Seriously?

How can an American university get away with teaching our kids outright lies and promoting violence and racial division?


.

How can you get away with posting such bull**** and keep a straight face?

Asking for a friend.

 

[beefheart]

Nah, I think it's adorable!

And don't think your pun was lost on me - Faux outrage/Faux news

It is usually the angry right that never went to college that are the most pissed off about these things.

The party of envy, fear and anger.

Black Lives Matter is a movement, not an organization. There is no real leadership structure except at the local level. This idea that BLM, as an organization, is "openly racist" and has "called for violence against and the death of police officers," is just another one of your numerous repugnant lies. Why do you feel the need to lie so often in order to advance your agenda?

Because the truth doesn't fit his narrative. He wouldn't have anything to complain about if he admitted that BLM was not a racist, "Let's kill cops" movement, but more of a "we want equality and safety" movement.

Bull****. It's an organization that centers on equality, and how to keep black men from being killed at an alarming rate.

that's not only called for violence against and the death of police officers, but has had several police officers murdered in their name, but they are also perpetuating lies.

Bull****. You can't condemn an entire organization based on a few bad apples. If that were the case, I'd swear up and down that the entire Republican party was a bunch of child molesters. See how that works?

They claim that BLM is fighting against "State sanctioned violence" against black communities. That's simply a lie. They also falsely claim that right now, America is the era of a "New Jim Crow". Seriously?

I agree that we are on the road to where we were 50 years ago. Blatant, outright racism is oozing from people's pores because the racist asshole in chief has given people permission to act like dick-swinging troglodytes.

That's not what they are doing, but then I don't expect people like you to understand the BLM movement anyway. You don't even care to know. You are too hung up on thinking it's promoting violence and racism.

'America sucks' is the ideology pushed by Trump. It's what got him elected and it's the button he pushes whenever he needs a loud, distracting noise.

Exactly. Remember -- he had to be elected, so he could "Make America Great Again!!!!!"

 

[Superfly]

This is an awesome syllabus. I think all colleges, public and private should be forced to offer courses in:

1. Proper protocol for kneeling during the National Anthem.
2. How to obtain maximum velocity and proper trajectory for spitting on confederate statues.
3. Community organizing and how to recruit fellow Antifa members.
4. How to help people from Kenya fake their birth certificates and become president.
5. How to properly utilize wipefile utilities to thoroughly scrub a server full of treasonous emails.
6. How to fight back against the conservative, mainstream media.
7. Baking gay wedding cakes and how to force bakeries to do it.

Anyway, that would be a welcome start. College campuses have become too conservative lately.

I'm in.

It's the hallmark of fascists everywhere. "Our nation is a shadow of it's former self, because it's under attack from within. Evil people want to weaken it, make it vulnerable. Our judiciary is corrupt and untrustworthy, our intelligence agencies are like Nazi Germany, our electoral system is rotten and rigged, the press lies and prints falsities to further our enemies' agenda. I, and only I, can restore our nation to it's former glory. Only I can save our country from it's enemies."

Scary, huh?

I have always wondered how the Holocaust happened. How millions of people could sit idly by and see something like that build, and grow, and happen.

I don't wonder anymore.

 

[lurchadams]

I'm in.

I thought of a couple more:

1. Environmentally friendly and foolproof methods of removing stains from interns' dresses.
2. The evils of religious freedom and why Islam is the only true faith.

Also, college grading systems should be eliminated and all students should receive a trophy for just participating.

Ok, I'm done

:lol: That's a hell of a syllabus. You won't mind if I don't print it out? I'll just keep referring back to it online.

If the syllabus changes, plus alert the class, as we will be too busy trying to teach the knuckledraggers how to spell BLM to actually keep a close eye on any changes you might make.

Choose your Jews. That ball hasn't dropped yet.
This smells similar but not nearly as strong. One thing that's pretty worrisome, though- the deliberate divisivness. Always driving that wedge into the fractures, always emphasizing the 'us' and 'them'. It's working 'way too well, and liable to be a big problem. Bigger, I mean, it's already big.

Which is basically what you and anti-Trump people preach.

Racist white people have long existed in the United States and aren't going away anytime soon. I've lived with them all my life in the USA and survived without out white liberals, descendants of immigrant black Africans, feminist, or the LGBTQ coming to my rescue. And so has millions of Black-Americans of my generation left drowning in the "hood," and so has many millions of Black-Americans before us. So, Black-Americans don't need the homo-feminist revolutionaries, or the Satanic Church revolutionaries, or new pop revolutionaries of the moment to come rescue them.

BLM is kind of like--but far from as well organized and as well principled I would say--as the old Black Panther Party. Each has had its fair complaints and good goals while simultaneously having some flaws. But I think more highly of the old Black Panther Party (which were Godless socialist).




These people in these videos need to be at the forefront of Black-American change. Not BLM nor white liberals, nor the Democratic Party, nor Republicans, not even mulatto Black-Americans that are descendants of black Southern slaves as myself. Black-Americans need to regain their confidence rather than resigning themselves to being the combat pawns of the homo-feminist Democrats or the psychopath neo-con Republicans, running to die on some hill for LGBTQ or some hill in a foreign land for white Ukrainians. They need to die on hills--if a war is to be fought--for the future and prosperity of their own children, of their own people.

Now, I can only recommend that. But I come from black Southern slaves (and white Germans from Germany) and there is something in me that no white Democrat or descendant of black African immigrants like Obama can feel or understand. And that is a deep sense, deep at core, that if placed in a position of political power I have an obligation (not to myself or to other Black-Americans currently, necessarily) to my black Southern enslaved ancestors I never met, to render justice to them through all their Black-American people of today (not even related to me) by battling to ensure they are not left behind but given their due from this country. (If I were in political power.)

I don't agree with Yvette Carnell on everything. And I'm fairly certain on an issue like violence in Chicago she would utterly oppose me (because I believe in bringing a war hammer). But one thing I know, can be sure of with her, is that deep in her she truly wants the best for her people Black-Americans. With most liberals, most Democrats, they are like Obama and Hillary, they only pretend. They are actors. They only give a tiny bit to get much more out of Black-Americans.

You know... when white homosexual males were in danger from HIV all these liberals fell over themselves to reduce that suffering. Well Black-America has been attacked by economic and homicidal "HIV" for decades. And Democrats and Republicans have left them to die. So, actions speak louder than words. Neither Democrats or Republicans care.

I can only recommend this to Black-Americans. They must as a collective follow the path they believe best. If they are wise they will pick Yvette, Antonio, and that Black Church pastor. Or at least people like them who truly (not merely act) care.

(My Christian sympathies are with the Eastern/Oriental Orthodox, but I was reared Catholic and I really am not into some of the Protestant views including that of the Black Church. But it is only right (justice) that even if I were President of the USA I back the Black Church to take the lead, along with the Nation of Islam, to make a Reconquesta of Black-America in the moral realm. I would stay out of the moral realm largely as President or Governor or Mayor but what I would bring are men with guns, the infrastructure of the state. And God help any man that gets in my way.)

I know what it is that bothers you so much about BLM--as opposed to screaming LGBTQ groups or feminist groups that high light the differences between women and men--it's the same fear the FBI agents repeatedly expressed in their documents (that became declassified) I read some years ago in a book about MLK Jr.

The "Black Messiah" that could arise. It tripped me out reading in FBI documents that term repeatedly used over and over again about certain individuals they identified as potential "Black Messiahs."

Even with President Obama treating yelling LGBTQ people with open ears and embracing heart, and treating yelling BLM the complete opposite way, you still tremble in your heart in fear.





Calm yourself. BLM supports too many thuggish characters. BLM can create noise and some problems in society but ultimately they are no great threat to the status quo. They shake small trees. But they are no thunder from the sky. The latter is me as the FBI, CIA, and NSA know if I ever came to throne in city, state, or the White House. Like Jesus said, "I come not to bring peace, but the sword." Fortunately for you all, drug addiction and all the sins and tragedies that followed, effectively karate swept my legs from under me from ever being able to pursue political action. Rather, I'll quietly retreat into my own world and pursue what is best for me. Like studying in Asia or something.

But multiple thunders in the sky are cracking now, even if in the far distance that can barely be heard, as more Black-Americans are awaken to the knowledge that building wealth and stability in the black neighborhoods are the real battles to be fought for. I suspect they will be too few and too late to come though. I don't foresee the salvation of Black-America but its eventual demise.






Comments under video:







The wicked thing about white supremacy is--or one of the things about it--is that white supremacist sympathizers have even been enraged at the token symbolism Black-Americans got in Obama to feel all emotional. But landlords don't accept rent paid in emotional currency. They want damn dollars.

Cool story Bro and nice rant. But because we don't know each other I'm going to file this under nothing more than a gas bag springing a long slow dog whistle toned leak.

 

[Chillfolks]

The movement is about hate for some and heritage for others. Weren't you guys harping about how Confederate monuments were all about heritage and history and had nothing to do with hate?

Not sure who the you guys are but if you want to play that game then:

Weren't you guys saying if you don't call out the racist element in your group you then approve of it?

 

[Port & Starboard]

I've been around my fair share of racist liberals & democrats in my lifetime.

Some of these posts are real knee slappers.

In English-speaking Canada colleges are generally where you learn trades or other more technical training jobs like business administration or cosmetology, that kind of thing. Usually programs are 6 months to 2 years. Universities grant degrees in arts, science, business, etc.

A retail management program makes perfect sense for what we would call a college, or I guess community college for you? What kind of institution has this program?

They are pretty much interchangeable in the US. I think the main differences is that universities are 4 year degrees and have a group of schools, i.e.; school of business, school of engineering. And they offer graduate studies. There are a few exceptions but colleges are usually single institutions that offer 2 and 4 year degrees. Most grant degrees in the usual areas of study (art, business, science). Colleges that are strictly 2 year are community colleges.

 

[KevinKohler]

maybe u can explain that to the IDIOTS that dont want to pay their student loans back!

When colleges advertise something, like 100% alumni employment, but fails to mention key data, like how 75% of that alumni are not employed in the degree field, the anger is pretty easy to understand.

If you went to a restaurant that said 100% of guests get fed, but fails to mention that, regardless of what you order, you're gonna get a burger and fries....you wouldn't feel too inclined to pay for that meal, would you?

 

[KevinKohler]

JMU is public university.

I'll bet the president is still making millions.


Kinda puts that "non profit" line into perspective.

 

[CriticalThought]

He makes $428,400. In an era where he probably could make 10 times as much in the private sector, it makes a non profit look like crumbs.

Well, color me shocked. That's pretty low for university pay. I believe the average is over twice that.

Kinda like how hospitals are non profit, but the admin staff get rich working there...I tend to look dubiously at organizations claiming to be non profit.

 

[americanwoman]

I bet that course will pack em in. College leftists will jump at the chance to attend any course that reinforces the propaganda they embrace and the "America sucks" ideology.

So it doesn't suck and American is finally "great again"? :2razz:

It seems like a course like that would turn students that weren't racist before they went in to at least lean that way on finishing the course.

That seems counterproductive to where we want to go.

How can you teach a course on an organization that was created based on a lie?

As I have said before, BLM is not a pro-black organization, it is an anti-cop organization.

If you have any doubt of that, go to their website and look at the goals they espouse.

Yup. No, I know it's not there now, but it took years for the Holocaust to become full blown.

I'm not saying that we will ever get there, but it would be folly to not see the parallels.
