Racial Politics in Greensboro and the Triangle, Ad Infinitum

We have a few lovely incidents to recognize. 

The first two involve the Politically Virtuous City. That's right-- our hometown of Greensboro. Apparently we had a humdinger of a city council meeting several days ago.

First, we have Michele Kennedy, who attempts an Oscar-level performance discussing the City Council's response to the death of Marcus Smith. According to Yes!Weekly:

"(S)itting here and taking a stance of silence, while what we know is an incredibly broken and racist system continues to exist, makes me complicit, not just in the death of Marcus Smith, but in the death of every Black man at the hands of that system."

If Ms. Kennedy is so complicit and responsible for the death of so many black men, she really ought to turn herself in to law enforcement and go straight to prison. From the Melvin Municipal Building where the council meetings are held, she would merely have to walk around the corner to do so. One wonders why she has not.

Then, there is the matter of the black woman who has a PhD. who verbally chastised a white zoning commission member for refraining from calling her "Doctor". It is fairly common that PhD's are not referred to as "Doctor", regardless of however one might feel about that. But this woman decided to "pull rank" in order to gain the upper hand in the discussion taking place.

Of course, our corrupt city council decided to remove the zoning commission member even though the demand that was made of him was intensely prideful and inappropriate. It was a great opportunity for the council to smack down a white guy. The story has since garnered national attention (HT: LB).

Our nine-person city council is currently comprised of eight women; four progressive/socialist blacks; two progressive/socialist Jews; two progressive/socialist persons of Middle Eastern descent; and one lesbian. There is not a single white male. I will leave it to the reader to decide whether this demographic composition explains the world of hurt the city of Greensboro is experiencing these days.

Now, let's move over to the Triangle. It seems that UNC-Chapel Hill has hired for its journalism school one of the key drivers for the 1619 project that is contaminating school systems and institutions nationwide at the prompting of the New York Times (HT: Fred). Nikole Hannah-Jones has been granted a chairmanship to indoctrinate generations of budding journalists in grievance-mongering and race-baiting.

She has been hired even though Republicans control the UNC Board of Governors. This raises the question as to what precisely this Board has achieved during the numerous years of Republican control.

I would hate to see what would happen if the socialists were in control of the UNC system! On second thought, it probably would not be much different than it is right now.

Holy underwear !!

This city council is chomping at the bit to pay the family of Marcus Smith a tidy sum to go away with your lawsuit. But won't let go the bone and refuses to pay former Chief of Police David Wray his legal fees .

Something is wrong with this picture
