I agree, I loved how he was exposing the system, bucking the norm, self finaced, etc.. It appears he is letting the thirst for power overide logic.

Wilson has long been known as a racist.  Theodore Roosevelt had been bad, but for Washington D.C.'s blacks, Wilson was the worst.  Warren Harding was quite a bit better, and Harry Truman started the eventual disintegration of the old Democratic coalition (solid Democratic South) by integrating the military.

Democrat party was racist too. These nob- knockers should go after them next. That'd be fun to see. Unfortunately, these folks are progs and, by definition, are too stupid to see the obvious. One can dream, however.

Re:  Trump.  Clearly one does not need be a master logician to succeed in business.  Indeed, a large dose of rapaciousness is far more useful.

I for one am amused by all of this campus lunacy. All of this helps the cause, IMO. Even the lower people on the awareness scale cans see that all this is ridiculous. That leaves only progs, who don't count for anything.

Originally posted by: WG I'm not sure if Wahington and Jefferson's ownership of slaves were based in economics or Racism, but they certainly thought black people were worth less than whites. Jefferson certainly was known to enjoy taking a little brown sugar from his "property". Did either write much about it? Did either actively oppose change? They generally get more of a pass because that was long ago, those were different times and they are so revered for founding this great nation. Wilson's was much more recent and involved active opposition to the slow halting toward equal rights for the descendants of those slaves at the time. He supported the KKK. You really can't get why black folks might object to going to a school that honors him?




Its history, WG. Why all of a sudden the "outrage"?



Each new generation rediscovers history.

 I am not going to post the pictures because they are horrid but google starvation in Africa and google refugees in Africa and look at the images...    Then look at african protests on college campuses and you and everybody who does this is going to tell the protestors to STFU and get the education...   They are over here whining that the pictures of old dead white people offend them and small children are dying of starvation covered in flies and filth praying that anybody, even an old white person give them a crust and clean water...

Yeah, black people should STFU because they don't know how good they have it, but everyone please continue to bitch and moan about their pathetic lives.

If those people should STFU the logical conclusion is that EVERYONE in the first world should.  

RIGHT?

They should STFU because:    the president said. “If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own.
I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out the president said.
“If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own.
It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive.
If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” he said.
Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If... YOU ARE IN COLLEGE....(para-phrased) you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” he said.

The people protesting on American campuses aren't Africans, any more than I'm a Slovak.  In fact, my Slovak grandparents are newcomers compared to the ancestors of most Americans of African descent, who mostly arrived far earlier.

I fully understand why they may not want to, that's why they have a choice to go to another school of their choosing. If Princeton feels WW is an important Alumn, why should they not be afforded their freedoms as well?

Princeton has freedom and their students have freedom to protest.

I realize that black people protesting has a high level of discomfort for some...not that I understand why as they are still a pretty powerless minority.
