Young Brotha Calls Out Morehouse and The ADL

"We can't even bring Minister Farrakhan to a black college without pressure from the Jewish lobby. A black college, with a black president, to teach black students, and you can't even bring Minister Farrakhan. But they will sponsor "Collegiate Cuties" or "Girls Gone Wild" or "MTV Spring Break in Cancun" and nonsense like that."

Anonymous said...: I ain't heard Farrakhan at Boston College or Howard either . . . :-)

At that time, the Jewish Lobby had the power to severely harm the school. What would you two limousine liberal, pseudo-revolutionaries have done? :-)

Intellectual Insurgent said...: And?

Your point?

Still waiting to hear it after all the red herrings you've been throwing all over the place.; Oct 26, 2007, 1:28:00 PM
Denmark Vesey said...: Uh ... Howard invited and Farrakhan spoke at Howard many times.

But that's not the point.

Let's not digress into knee-jerk defense of alma mater like mindless football fans.

The point of the young brotha's observation was the external influence of other groups on the minds of black people.

If we allow the ADL to shape the minds of Morehouse men, what kinds of men will be produced? Men who work in the interests of the Jewish lobby or men who work in the interest of black people?

Could you imagine the NAACP preventing Abe Foxman from speaking at Brandeis? Well ... the ADL runs the NAACP too, but you know what I mean.

liberal, pseudo-revolutionary?

LOL. Cuz please.

You need to be walking around with my face on your T Shirt.; Oct 26, 2007, 1:35:00 PM
Anonymous said...: LOL.

Let's not act like the problem is particular to Morehouse. That's all I'm sayin'.

Other than that, I'm wit y'all.

Man, DV, I'm gonna buy you a big poster with me on it for your office. Don't forget who got you two into this bloggin' game. That's like T.I. dissin' Nas. :-); Oct 26, 2007, 2:24:00 PM

Then let's not act like the problem is particular to Curtis Jackson. That's all I'm sayin'.; Oct 26, 2007, 2:36:00 PM

That is all.; Oct 27, 2007, 3:25:00 AM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
