10 Steps to Becoming an Effective Conservative Campus Hell Razer
by Doug Giles
Saturday, August 4, 2007

1. Get a sense of humor. Most liberal profs and student activists are a screeching, nerve grating, nasally bunch of whiners. As a matter of fact, I’d rather watch Janet Reno do jumping jacks and hack squats in Borat’s thong than listen to the hemp clothed, goatee bearing, chunky liberal bleat.

Therefore, conservative student, when you queue up to address your crowd, be pleasant, poke fun at yourself, remove the whine from your voice and use honed humor to humiliate the left. Getting folks to laugh at your opponents and not being rabid about taking yourself so seriously helps get your point across. To upgrade your general funniness, get Judy Carter’s book, Stand Up Comedy.

2. Get creative. God bless technology. Conservative rebels, you have at your fingertips the wherewithal to go creatively crazy for the cause of God and country with the real possibility of a stack of people seeing and hearing what you have got to offer.

Therefore, get nutty with your stuff. Utilize these amazing techno tools to tackle the tools on the left. Take your gift, your talent, your voice and your God-wired weirdness and, every now and then, put something artistic out there that’ll overtly or covertly slam dance the secularists who seek to sabotage our society. To upgrade your competitive creativity get Chasing Cool by Noah Kerner and Gene Pressman.

3. Get tough. One thing that drives me nuts about some Sally’s on the right is their bemoaning how they get attacked when they go public in the classroom with their sentiments. Whaa! What did you think the Ward Churchill’s were going to do, clap? Buy you candy? Wash your undercarriage? Look, not-so-sharp-holder-of-traditional-values, we’re in a very real culture war. The _ _ _ _ will hit the fan when you counter the liberal crud in the classroom. Embrace it. Suck it up. Get tough. Let adversity be your Wheaties, the breakfast of champions! If you want to upgrade your resiliency, get my book, The Bulldog Attitude: Get It or Get Left Behind.

4. Get prayerful. Most folks on the ludicrous left who embrace what 21st century Dhimmocrats currently spew are admitted atheists. Seeing that they don’t believe in the God who is, I’m a guessin’ they are probably not down the funnel with the discipline of prayer. That is, until they’re about to die. Then, of course, they start praying like Chris Tucker freshly filled with the Holy Ghost and fire. Since they refuse to believe and pray to God, they have no supernatural help in their hapless cause. At least no positive supernatural help, because we all know demons love to assist these guys. But I digress. . .

. The traditionalist (usually) believes in the God of the scripture . . . the God who’s got a will and way that He’d like to see implemented on the planet. This is cool; however, God follower, take it to the next level and start praying with faith and oomph for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven (this includes your campus).

So . . . God-fearing traditionalist, ask God for a) crazy clout to change yourself so that you’re not a waste-oid He’s got to work around and b) for a dynamic enabling to effect constructive change on your campus and culture. To upgrade your prayer life, get E. M. Bounds’ classic, Power Through Prayer.

5. Get rebellious. When rebels see what “everyone else is doing,” they usually shoot it the finger and do the opposite. They know that more than likely there must be something fundamentally wrong with “it” if everyone thinks it is mondo jovial. Especially if many of the adherents of the en masse mantra put the funk in dysfunction.

At today’s universities, college student, you will be a radical if you don’t lock step to the secularization, slutification and wussification that these institutions and their devotees try to cram up your and America’s backside. So, put on your leather jacket, grab a nice cigar, climb on your Von Dutch and tell these God-, country-, goodness- and common sense-haters to get bent. Go against the grain. Stand alone if you have to. To upgrade your rebel yell, read Rosa Parks: My Story, by Rosa Parks, listen to some Godsmack and stand tall.

6. Get informed. Conservative contrarians, you’ve got to get the following books and read them:

a. The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History,

b. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design,

c. The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature,

d. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism ,

e. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades),

f. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science,

g. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution,

h. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South (and Why It Will Rise Again),

i. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex, and Feminism, and

j. Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies, by Gregg Jackson

Digest the above and when appropriate, take some of the factoids found within these secularism devastating tomes and share them with your prof during class and your buddies in the dorm. It’s fun for the whole family.

7. Get speakers to your campus that’ll fire up your base. The Young America’s Foundation has an entire smorgasbord of world-class speakers covering every conceivable topic who can deftly dismember the left’s bereft beliefs. To upgrade your campus base, go to YAF.Org, order one of their ideological black belts and let the party start. In addition, you can book me to speak to your group. I’d love to come and toss the cat among the pigeons. Go to ClashRadio.com/seminars and let’s yuck it up! I’ll see the boys and girls at Duke in October. I’ll be talking about masculinity vs. bogus metrosexuality. Yeehaw!

8. Get sharp looking. Most campus Liberals have a monopoly on ugly. They are neither pleasing to the ear nor eye. Do not follow their lead, young conservative. If they want to look sloven, unshorn and tie-dyed let ‘em. You, however, should run in the opposite direction.

Don’t believe that crap about looks don’t matter. The heck they don’t. If I have the choice between these two options: 1) to look at and listen to an obese girl with frizzed out hair and so many piercings that it looks like a tackle box blew up in her face while she’s wearing no bra with her 40DDD floppies staring right at me while she is yelling or 2) to look at and listen to a svelte, well put together, conscientious lass graciously appealing to me, I am telling you right here and now that I’ll choose #2. The nasty girl has offended my senses, lost my attention and I could not care less what she has got to say. Call me crazy.

Girls, to upgrade your appearance, get A Guide to Elegance: For Every Woman Who Wants to Be Well and Properly Dressed on All Occasions by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux. Guys, grab a copy of Dressing the Man: Mastering the Art of Permanent Fashion by Alan Flusser and watch the difference the clothes make.

9. Get your grades up.

10. Get your hands dirty. Serve your campus and community. The world has enough of derisive, hate-filled protests and marches by ideological miscreants. While you’re in college, help in the critical areas of your campus and community’s needs and watch the campus and community give you a standing O.

Here are three very interesting news items I came across today.  You can make your own conclusions.

Arizona Woman Allegedly Stabs Estranged Husband During Sex

MESA, Ariz. — 

An Arizona woman has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her estranged husband in the chest during sex, MyFOXPhoenix.com reports.

Falon Gonzales, 23, was released on $100,000 bond after being booked Tuesday night, according to the report. Her husband, Juan Carlos Gonzales, 26, was listed in serious condition at a local hospital.

He fled to neighbor Tony Ballard's home on West Stanford Avenue in Gilbert, Ariz., after the attack, MyFOXPhoenix.com reports.

"I've never had a naked man run to my house bleeding, you know what I mean?" Ballard told MyFOXPhoenix.com.

Ballard told MyFOXPhoenix.com that the couple was in the middle of sex when the alleged attack occurred.

"She was on top and she reached out of a bag and pulled a knife out of a bag and drove it into his chest," Ballard said of the incident.

"She apologized first," the neighbor told MyFOXPhoenix.com. "She said 'Juan, I'm sorry about this.'"

Juan Carlos Gonzales was transported to Scottsdale Osborn Healthcare hospital with a collapsed lung and was listed in serious condition.

Authorities said Juan Gonzales moved out of the couple's home about a month ago and asked to meet his wife and a home appraiser Tuesday afternoon. He later showed Falon Gonzales dissolution of marriage papers.

Falon Gonzales told police that she hid a kitchen knife in a duffel bag at the home with a plan to harm her husband and stabbed him with it after luring him into the bathroom.

White Man Awarded $150,000 in Racism Lawsuit

BUFFALO, N.Y. — 

A federal jury awarded a white man $150,000 in a racial discrimination lawsuit Wednesday.

Mark Pasternak, who is white, said he was dismissed from his state job helping troubled youths because he could not tolerate being called names like "cracker," "polack" and "stupid white boy."

A seven-member all-white jury found that Tommy Baines, who is black, discriminated against Pasternak and created a hostile work environment.

"I'm elated and overwhelmed," Pasternak told The Buffalo News Wednesday. "I feel like I've been to hell and back ... After all these years, the best feeling is, the jury heard his story and mine, and they believed me."

Pasternak's attorney, David Seeger, said his client took abuse from Baines for three years while the two men worked with an agency formerly known as the state Division for Youth. The facility is no longer in operation.

Baines subjected Pasternak to race-based slurs, job sabotage and crude insults in front of co-workers, according to court papers and testimony.

Baines and his attorney, William Hites, did not return calls seeking comment.

According to court records, the state investigated the racial allegations in 1998. Baines was fined $2,000 for his conduct, but he was allowed to continue working as a supervisor.

Pasternak claimed he experienced to insomnia, anxiety and depression and had to take several medical leaves of absence because of the verbal abuse.

He was dismissed by the state in 1999. The state later offered Pasternak his job, but he said he turned it down because the state refused to guarantee he wouldn't be working under Baines again.

Brian Marchetti, a spokesman for the state office, had no immediate comment Wednesday.

"When I was growing up, I was always taught to stay away from racial slurs ... and epitaphs," Pasternak said. "This kind of conduct, from a supervisor who worked with kids, really bothered me."

Bobby Cutts Jr. Indicted on Murder Charges in Deaths of Jessie Davis, Unborn Child

A grand jury brought seven indictments against a former police officer accused of killing pregnant Ohio mom Jessie Davis, including three counts of aggravated murder, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Bobby Cutts Jr. will face one count of murder for Davis' death and two counts of murder for the death of her unborn child, called "baby Chloe," when he is arraigned Friday morning, Stark County Prosecutor John D. Ferrero said at a news conference.

"There's not much that we can say regarding the facts of this case. I hope the media can respect that," Ferrero said Thursday. "We fully intend for this case to go to trial and at that point in time you will be able to hear the circumstances behind this case."

The grand jury also leveled felony charges of aggravated burglary, two counts of abuse of a corpse and one misdemeanor count of child endangerment against the former Canton police officer. The murder charges could bring the death penalty, Ferrero said.

Cutts' attorney, Myron Watson, said he would comment after he had a chance to review the indictment. Cutts maintains his innocence, he said Wednesday.

Myisha Ferrell, Cutts' former high school classmate, faces two charges at her Friday arraignment: obstructing justice and complicity to the abuse of a corpse. The first charge carries a maximum of 5 years in prison; the second, 18 months. Prosecutors accuse her of helping dispose of Davis' body.

"They were friends and somehow she got involved," Ferrero said. "We will show that, again, at the trial."

Davis, 26, was killed in her home near North Canton on June 14, authorities have said. Her disappearance drew national attention as thousands gathered to search for her in the area surrounding her home, about 45 miles south of Cleveland.

Davis' body, still carrying a nearly full-term fetus, was found nine days later about 25 miles away from her home in a remote area of a park.

Ferrero said the grand jury's indictment came back Wednesday afternoon.

The 30-year-old Cutts is the father of Davis' 2 1/2-year-old son, Blake, and her family says he was the father of "baby Chloe" who was due to be delivered July 3.

Prosecutors have 90 days from Cutts' June 23 arrest to take the case to trial. Cutts is being held on a $5 million bond.

Cutts has been secluded from the general inmate population, officials said.

Davis was reported missing when her mother went to her home and found Blake in a dirty diaper, the bedroom furniture toppled and a pool of bleach on the floor.

Blake provided authorities with the first clues, saying: "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in rug."

Davis' mother, Patricia Porter, was informed of the indictment Thursday morning.

"As long as he gets a fair trial and she can explain what happened one day, that's all she cares about," said attorney Rick Pitinii, the family's spokesman.

Porter has custody of Blake and is focused on raising him, Pitinii said.

Earlier this month, Summit County medical examiner Lisa Kohler said she was unable to determine how Davis was killed.

Kohler ruled that the manner of death was a homicide but offered no other details, listing the cause as "unspecified homicidal violence."

Investigators had previously stated that the advanced decomposition of the body would make determining a cause difficult.

The next time some radical feminist whines and wails about supposedly how hard American women have it, forward her the following articles. 

The Death of a Muslim Woman: "The Wh*re Lived Like a German"
From Spiegel Online, March 2, 2005:

In the past four months, six Muslim women living in Berlin have been
brutally murdered by family members. Their crime? Trying to break
free and live Western lifestyles. Within their communities, the
killers are revered as heroes for preserving their family dignity.
How can such a horrific and shockingly archaic practice be
flourishing in the heart of Europe? The deaths have sparked momentary
outrage, but will they change the grim reality for Muslim women?

Bullying women into suicide to restore 'honor'/European Muslims adjust to crackdown on family murders
by Patti McCracken, SF Chronicle, August 20, 2006

Imagine that a teenage boy walks up behind his sister, points a loaded gun
at her head and pulls the trigger. This "honor killing" is carried out in
conservative Muslim enclaves that are bound to draconian beliefs.
Sometimes, the woman's "offense" is dating the wrong person or behaving in
too Western a way. Killing her is seen as a way to restore a family's
honor.

According to the United Nations, about 5,000 honor killings take place
each year, most of them in the Middle East.

Britain examines 'honor killings'
The Christian Science Monitor (07/07/2004):

(LONDON)Heshu Yones was just 16 when her father slit her throat because of her
choice of boyfriend. Sahjda Bibi was 21 when a cousin stabbed her to
death in her wedding dress for marrying against family wishes. Rukhsana
Naz was strangled by her brother and mother for getting pregnant by a
lover. The slaughter of a succession of young women by their male
family members in recent years has alerted Britain to a problem that
has migrated to Western Europe along with growing minority communities
from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East: "honor crimes."

For their perpetrators, these crimes have "honor" because they fulfill
tribal custom to redeem the shame that some women have supposedly
brought upon their families.

 The ink is barely dry on the $20 million settlement Don Imus just won from CBS, and already a member of the Rutgers University women's basketball team is suing him.




Rutgers junior Kia Vaughn is alleging in her lawsuit that, when Imus called her  and her teammates "nappy-headed h*s" April 4 of this year, it "ruined her reputation." 

"This is basically about vindicating my client's good name," her lawyer, Richard Ancowitz, said Tuesday night. "This is not a situation she ever asked for, and she would love to turn the clock back. But unfortunately she can't, because of what Don Imus said on April 4."

The young lady's sheister - Ooop!  I meant attorney - calls it a "complete coincidence" that that he filed his 49-page lawsuit the same day that Imus and CBS, which fired him in the wake of his remarks about the championship team, announced a settlement over Imus' $120 million breach-of-contract suit.

A coincidence?  Bull!

Let's recap:  Blacks endured slavery, legalized segregation, brutal racism and discrimination throughout the late-19th and much of the 20th century, came out of that experience a stronger and better people.  Yet, when some talk radio shock jock makes a tasteless comment about a predominantly black female college basketball team in the year 2006, one young black woman is so "ruined" by it that she has to sue for damages?

Let me put it another way:  We survived despite lynchings, KKK harrassment, fire hoses, attack dogs, and other racist acts of brutality, but the mere words of one white man on a radio program can cause some of us to fall to pieces?

This is the kind of knee-jerk victimologist crap that makes blacks, four decades removed from the civil rights movement, look utterly pathetic.   Ms. Vaughn should've thought about that before allowing herself to be exploited by some sheister - yeah, I said it! - out to make a buck. 

Here's an idea:  Why doesn't she and every other "aggrieved" black woman who has been called "b*tch, "h*," "trick," and every other derogatory word you can think of, sue the likes of Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Snoopp Dogg, and other thug rappers, as well as the record companies and media conglomerates who put out their trash, who have been verbally demeaning black women to thumping rap beats for the past 20 years?

Because the aforementioned thug lyricists and their ilk are black, and Don Imus is white. 

Need I say  more?

I guess they're so spooked about the prospect of another (GASP!) Republican in the White in 2008, college academics are pulling out all the stops.  Go figure!
 
From CNSNews.com:

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama received about $1.5 million in contributions this year from college professors and others in the education field, outpacing the party's front-runner, Sen. Hillary Clinton, who got $940,000 from academics.

Still, Clinton's near-$1-million second-place finish was almost as much as academia's total combined donations to leading Republican candidates Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain. (See Complete Candidate Breakdown)

That many college professors and academics lean to the political left is no surprise -- 76 percent of their donations went to Democratic candidates in the first two quarters of 2007. But the volume of their donations is increasing, according to an analysis by the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), which tracks money in politics.

"College professors and others in the education field have contributed more money than the oil industry and drug makers, with the nearly unanimous goal of putting a Democrat in the White House," the report said.

Faculty members from Harvard University led the way in overall political contributions -- $266,044 -- with 81 percent of those gifts going to Democrats so far in 2007, according to the report.

The second largest sum came from the University of California -- $248,488 - with 90 percent of those donations going to Democrats. (See Complete School Breakdown)

The Democrats Revive Liberalism
by Star Parker
Scripps Howard News Service
2007-08-03 00:00:00

I believe that reasonable people look at facts and draw rational conclusions.

It's why I am mystified at the open and passionate embrace today by the Democratic Party of plain old unadulterated liberalism.

Being labeled a liberal fifteen years ago was the kiss of political death. Today's Democratic presidential candidates seem to wear it like a badge of honor.

Or perhaps I should qualify this to say that the programs and ideas they're selling are pure garden-variety liberalism. Maybe they are less enthusiastic about the liberal label.

A popular term of left wing spin-meisters these days is "progressive."

Liberalism did not fall from favor like an out of vogue restaurant or some fad. It lost its glow because facts show it doesn't work.

I am talking about the liberal idea that government is the answer to our problems. Tax here and spend there, take from this one and redistribute to that one, and you can solve any social or economic problem.

Ironically, globally, as China, India, and Africa see the light of day by shedding government controls and planning, this is where our Democrats want to take us.

There has been ink about the Democratic candidates snubbing the annual meeting of the Democratic Leadership Council, which represents the moderate wing of the Party, while they plan to attend a bloggers convention sponsored by the ultra-left Web site Daily Kos.

You can argue as several have that in the general election the Democratic nominee will scurry back toward the center. But today every Democratic candidate is entrenched unapologetically in the far left.

The DLC was the base for the "new Democrat" that defined Bill Clinton.

And Bill Clinton, as we must recall, signed into law in 1996, the first and enormously successful retreat from the failed welfare state, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, aka welfare reform.

The act ended welfare as an unqualified entitlement, and introduced time limits and work requirements.

The result? Welfare rolls decreased almost 60 percent. And, as USA Today reported last year, the tenth anniversary of welfare reform, "Nearly 70 percent of all single women are working, compared to 66 percent of married women, a reversal of the past. Single women's incomes have risen ... Child poverty rates have dropped, particularly among blacks and Hispanics. Teen pregnancies are down. Child support collections are up."

Is every problem solved? Of course not. But the achievement has been historic.

Welfare was a horrible and destructive disaster. Blacks continue to pay the price today in the broken families and communities that are its legacy.

We must understand why welfare reform worked. It trashed the great lie that government planning and programs can solve human problems. And it brought clearly to light the truth that when personal responsibility is restored, and life's realities are brought back into focus, people, all people, know what to do and become productive and creative.

Liberals could not imagine that the lives of the poor could improve by getting rid of government and they couldn't have been more wrong.

Someone recently e-mailed me the following wonderful quote from Rabbi Daniel Lapin, head of an organization called Toward Tradition:

"Politics is nothing more than the practical application of our most deeply held beliefs."

The deeply held belief of the left, that government can solve the problems of the poor, destroyed black families and black communities.

The deeply held beliefs of conservatives -- faith, traditional values, work, and personal responsibility -- is restoring these families and communities.

The left may talk today about courting values voters. But big government values voters is an oxymoron.

The country now is at a real crossroads and we're going to have to wake up if we care about our children. The failures of the welfare state and social engineering go beyond poor black women.

Robert Samuelson of the Washington Post wrote this past week about the unsustainable entitlement burdens of Social Security and Medicare.

Taxes will have to go up, according to Samuelson, anywhere from 30-50 percent to meet the outstanding obligations of these entitlements. The chunk of the federal budget that they will consume will increase from 40 percent, to 75 percent in 2030.

Yet every Democrat today is talking about new government poverty programs, new entitlements, and socialized medicine.

Can voters next year possibly buy into this denial of reality and delusional retreat into the failures of the past?

If you are a values voter, I hope you'll join me in prayer that it doesn't happen.

The future of a great country is at stake.

I'll betcha this guy won't be using 1-800-FLOWERS again anytime soon.  I'm putting this on in the "JPS" file... for "Just Plain Stupid!"

Texas Flower Delivery Order Leads to Million Dollar Suit, Messy Divorce

MISSOURI CITY, Texas —  A Missouri City, Texas, man has filed a federal lawsuit against 1-800-FLOWERS, Inc. after they sent his wife a thank-you card for flowers he ordered for another woman.

MyFOXHouston.com reported Leroy Greer ordered a dozen red roses and teddy bear through 1-800-flowers.com for a woman while he was in the middle of divorcing his wife. However, at the time the flowers were sent, Greer and his wife were reconciled.

After Greer ordered the flowers in April, 1-800-flowers reportedly sent a thank-you card to his home, which his wife saw. She then called the company, and they faxed her a copy of the receipt, the note he sent with the flowers that read "just wanted to say that 'I Love you'" and a report of what he actually purchased.

Here is what the wife wrote on the note to her husband:



His wife re-filed divorce papers and is asking him for a $400,000 divorce lump sum and $6,000 per month in child and spousal support. He is seeking more than $1 million in damages from the flower company.

A (Half) Black Man Can
by Mike S. Adams
Monday, August 6, 2007

Dear UNC-Wilmington Board of Trustees:

Once again, I am forced to write a letter condemning the anti-black racism that has spread like wildfire across our campus during the reign of Chancellor Rosemary DePaolo. As you already know, our Associate Vice Chancellor of Diversity, Tamra Minor, has resigned complaining about a lack of support from the administration. But you probably don’t know that she, like DePaolo, has been promoting anti-black racism on our predominantly white campus.

Minor’s accidental racism was recently brought to my attention by a student who describes himself as “multi-racial.” Although he is half-white and half-black the university classifies him as “black” – a reflection of the fact that our school adopts the “one-drop” theory once advanced by racists like my fifth cousin Sen. Theodore G. Bilbo (D-Mississippi).

The student, who we will call “Omar,” received a letter from Dr. Minor shortly before she left UNC-Wilmington. In the letter, Minor congratulated Omar for getting a GPA of “3.00 or higher during the 2006-2007 academic year.” This was followed by the revelation that “the Division of Academic Affairs recognizes students of color at our university who excelled in academic performance …” The main problem with this last sentence is the phrase “excelled in academic performance.”

Over the last few years in America, obtaining a GPA of 3.0 has, unfortunately, come to mean something other than that a student has “excelled in academic performance.” For example, by the mid-1990s, Harvard University saw 80% of its students graduate with the “honors” distinction. Later, more than 90% of Harvard students would graduate with “honors” in a given year.

While UNC-Wilmington has not seen grade inflation as bad as Harvard’s the average GPA has, in recent years, been slowly climbing up to around 3.0. As a result, UNC-Wilmington is now re-evaluating the standards that must be met in order to earn various honors upon graduation. But, at the same time, the university is setting lower standards for special recognition as long as the student is: a) black, or b) white with at least one drop of black blood.

I fully expect UNC-Wilmington to continue to raise expectations for white people, while lowering expectations for black (and partially black) people. Indeed, winning a Minority Scholarship Award is becoming a lot like winning a Gold Medal at the Special Olympics. Because of this palpable condescension, our college administrators can be fairly characterized as racists despite their feigned interest in the well-being of “disadvantaged” minorities.

Omar pointed out another condescending portion of Dr. Minor’s letter, which invited him to an “Annual Academic Awards Program.” It also encouraged him to “invite (his) family or other guest to celebrate with (him).” Omar was stunned that the university would throw a party to “celebrate” the slightly-above-average performance of black (and partially black) UNCW students. He asked why the university could not spend all of the party money on scholarships for the region’s poor – regardless of whether they have a drop or more of black blood.

The answer to Omar’s question, of course, is that these events were never designed to help black (or partially black) people. They were designed to raise the self-esteem of white liberals plagued by racial guilt and driven by a need for social and occupational promotion.

The saddest part about Omar’s experience with UNC-Wilmington is not the condescending letter he received from Dr. Minor. It was, instead, Dr. Minor’s recent refusal to help Omar bring John McWhorter to speak at our university. Omar was greatly influenced by McWhorter, claiming that his books (including “Losing the Race” and “Authentically Black”) were influential in helping him break away from the chains of a black victim mentality (Author’s note: slavery metaphor intended).

But Dr. Minor would have nothing to do with bringing McWhorter to campus. Apparently, he is not authentically black.

And so maybe there is more to being black at UNCW than merely having one drop of black blood. Maybe to be authentically black at UNCW one has to have a victim mentality that keeps him striving for mediocrity while the Seahawks who exploit him soar to new heights.

Dr. Mike S. Adams would like to thank “M” Mullin for all the love and inspiration she provided as he wrote the preceding column. He would also like to thank Sam Adams, Rocky Patel, and John Browning (in no particular order).

Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and author of Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel: Confessions of a Conservative College Professor.

Honestly, I really didn't want to say anything about this story.  However, after reading La Shawn Barber's blog on it, I felt compelled to add my two cents.

  

After denying it for as long as he could, Murphy recently acknowledged fathering a child with former Spice Girl Melanie Brown.  Given that I really don't care much about the sordid private lives of celebrities, I really didn't give this much story much thought.  However, Ms. Barber's commentary served as a wake-up call:

Here’s one of many reasons why people should create a stable home before procreating. Comedian Eddie Murphy knocked up Spice Girl Melanie Brown, and fled. He ordered DNA tests, and the baby is indeed his, but “[h]e has not indicated in his statement or to us that he plans to visit the baby,” said Brown’s “feminist” lawyer Gloria Allred.

Because Murphy lost interest in sleeping with Brown, a child is fatherless. Yes, the girl will receive checks from her wealthy father, but in all likelihood, that’s all she’ll get. Given the shameful epidemic of fatherless children among blacks, my tolerance for listening to blacks blame white racism for everything from the academic achievement gap to higher loan interest rates has hit rock bottom.

How much more damaging to a child are parental neglect and apathy than the most virulent racism? Oh, let us count the ways…

As one of the most successful black entertainers in American history, Eddie Murphy pulls in $20 million per movie - not per year, per movie!  Yet, it ain't about the money.  It's about stepping up and being a man.  Murphy refused to do that, until the very last minute, and only in a half-hearted way.  For that, the comic actor deserves to hang his head in shame.
 

This story has been in the news for a few weeks now (I wonder why).  Here's the full report from the University of Texas.

From Foxnews.com:
