Allen West's newest exercise in self-hating negritude misrepresents how a very basic directive by the Department of Education and the U.S. Attorney General's office that school discipline should be "race neutral" is in fact more evidence of Barack Obama's "anti-white socialist anti-capitalist supporting the degenerate negroes and their bad culture agenda" which is destroying all that made (White) America so great.
West's latest screed is a gem. Once more he legitimates white racism and white racial resentment towards people of color while spinning fictions about the administration's "anti-white" agenda:
This is my clear and succinct message to white Americans. How long will it be before “you people” realize you have elevated someone to the office of president who abjectly despises you — not to mention his henchman Holder. Combined they are the most vile and disgusting racists — not you.Barack Obama is not a black president. As I have argued here and elsewhere, he is the Scold-in-Chief of Black America. The intellectual dishonesty of the Right is most clearly demonstrated by those many instances when their media noise portrays Barack Obama as a great progressive and Left-wing ally of Black America.
Those who are grounded in empirical reality, and not high on the political jenkem circulated by Fox News and the Right-wing media, see the facts for what they are: Barack Obama has consistently avoided talking about white racism, how the color line negatively impacts black and brown life chances, or the particular challenges faced by the African-American community in the post civil rights era.
Allen West, his other self-hating black conservative kin, their white handlers, and the Fox News establishment who circulate the lie that Obama is "anti-white", collectively suggest an obvious question and intervention.
What if President Barack Obama really did hate white people? What would his "anti-white" policies look like? And what type of anti-white America would President Obama be creating as we speak?
An anti-white Barack Obama? Wow. Quite a fantasy and a dream.

I couldn't honestly imagine any 'anti white' policies taking hold without an instant rebellion by whites.
I think it's important to note that according to these 'anti white' folks our policies are already anti white or anti American. Affirmative Action, multicultural education, anti-poverty initiatives, fighting terrorism = promoting terrorism, immigration reform = encouraging unskilled immigrants (criminals)...
Every action of this administration has been equated to anti white or anti American bias. When those executive orders came out in August about this same issue, I saw people sharing very similar stories of the administration trying to protect the violent, disruptive thug.
If you actually read the executive orders and think about it, though, they make perfect sense. I think it's some good politics.
As for West's reflections on teaching, what a racist POS. It reads like something I found on Stormfront.
In my experiences teaching, black students are more frequently quiet and shy in classes. Classroom management is a huge area in education and the 'positive discipline' West derides is actually a very common educational strategy, which school systems are encouraging in their teachers around the country.
Classrooms and schools that become disruptive are very difficult to get back in order. Our public schools are not very great and a lot of attention does need to take place in home life, however, you cannot control a students home life. You can encourage their parents as much as you want to foster discipline and study habits at home, but often parents are too busy or don't know how to deal with it or don't want to. Even students of wealthy working parents fall into this trap of attention seeking behavior.
It has been disappointing but not discouraging to see racial politics pop again around the nation. Certainly it is the inevitable result of the modern GOP's dependance upon the votes of its "old confederacy base". A majority of Americans see President Obama as a decent guy trying to do the right thing - he is in no way personally responsible for what has occurred among certain segments of our population. They hated Bill and Hillary almost as much - hate and divisiveness is the way they roll - it ain't much - but it's all they got . . .

I just read the comments section on an article about Black/Latino unemployment on Colorlines. The commenters were calling President Obama racist, and claiming that African-Americans and Latinos do not succeed because they're all criminals, have low IQ scores, are mentally unable to do work, etc. (i.e., the usual racist crap).
I used to teach in public schools, and kids disrupt class because they are trying get attention at the expense of the teacher and the kids who want to learn. Positive reinforcement does work, but not with all kids. That's when personal responsibility comes into play. Teachers have been responsible for the behaviors that parents and kids should be held accountable for. Teachers cannot control children who cannot control themselves. Children need to be reminded that they have to practice self-control.
Parents are the first teachers, and unfortunately, many of them are failing. Sure, you can't go into people's homes and tell them how to raise their kids, but teachers can longer be the only ones responsible for goes on in the classroom. Responsibility should be shared.
Great points. Obama won twice because he garnered a broad coalition of voters across the color line. The current Republicans are desperate. Principled and smart conservatives who should flee the party and speak out against this mess are instead in bed with it. The whole country loses.
I just checked out that colorlines piece, my guess is it was shared in some conservative/white supremacist circle. hopefully they will moderate their comments on it soon.
Many "urban" schools have failed. But what to do. There is also a great diversity in schools and experiences there as your point out. I wonder what poor white rural schools are like in terms of social disruption, crime, drugs, violence, etc? Maybe someone could chime in who has the expertise.
I like my facebook group. It is a closed group so outsiders cannot see posts and people are very nice to each other. you can create a secret group so no one can see it except members,. There are members from all over the world, Nigeria, England, India, South Africa, Australia, mostly from America. I inherited it from another person from Mauritius.
I have always thought it would be nice to have another group exclusively for content like this. Certain members in my group cannot handle discussions like this, which is fine, but I can spend full days just trying to defend why I talk about race, politics, and structural/systemic inequality.
They often have many of those problems in their populations. I think most districts have alternative schools set up for chronic misbehavior, tracking is pretty regular.
Public schools serve a majority poor population in the entire US. Out of 50.1 million students, 31 million receive free or reduced school meal programs.
I'm pretty sure most states and probably the federal government offer tax subsidies for people who choose to use private schools.
In the minds of these people, just being black is anti-white.
Unfortunately all the white Right knows is destruction. They fought the Clintons and now Obama because they actually try to govern, while the right really is not about offering solutions to anything, just protecting their tribal talismans, e.g. "Jesus," race, etc.
But with Obama its as if his being black and in the white house is more than a personal affront; its an assault on all they hold dear.
Listen to them talk about impeachment, and all the supposed violations of the Constitutions of "this unlawful President," and they bring to mind a fantasy black President that sometimes I wish we had. As smart and as charismatic as Obama can be, he's been relatively mild-mannered and milquetoast to boot; avoiding like the plague anything black, while embracing Reagan and bending over backwards (or is it frontwards?) to please these people. And yet, to them, he's Huey Newton in the oval office.
haha, yes I was thinking about that politician.
I wonder how many middle and upper class children get away with not doing any chores in order to 'work' for the food their parents provide.
yeah, but they're not racist because 'black friend'
I think black people have to have no black friends in order to be thought of as not anti white.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, African Americans are very apathetic about the blatant disrespect heaped on them by Mainstream Media. Marco Rubio may be a Latino Uncle Tom, but he does not use vulgar, debasing language when talking about his people. As a matter of fact, he hardly mentions them at all. The mean spirited, harsh , racist language has been reserved strictly for us. So where is this coming from?
The White Citizens Council, which never disbanded, which I contend, is not a small southern, racist group, it is a nation wide phenomenon. The White Citizens Council (bigots in Brook's Brothers) dominates every institution in America. They always have! They're a gang. Whether it's media, universities, corporations, medicine or law, the White Citizens Council dominates it all. Its purpose is to make sure that power, privilege and profit remain solely reserved for white males. A primary example of the Council in operation is Mass Media. White male millionaires and billionaires dominate the airwaves of the so called free press. Look at Charlie Rose for example? That's right, Charlie Rose! His show is lauded for its journalistic integrity. In reality, about 98 percent of Rose guest are white men. As a matter of fact I used to call it, " The White Man's Show." Rose himself is a former Wall Street Attorney, was once challenged by Colin Powell for living in a neighborhood that did not allow black people. Yes, those neighborhoods still; exist. Rose offered Powell no explanation. He typifies the MSM. We are force to endure white males pontificating about black life, when they absolutely know nothing about it. As a matter of fact, they love to dwell in their little bigoted world.
The Republican Party also big time member of the White Citizen's Council has decided that another tactic of white supremacy is to get its victims to tout its message. This is where Alan West, Jesse Peterson, E.W. Jackson, Larry Elder, Armstrong ( I molest men) Williams, Shelby Steele, Uncle Tom Sowell, Ward (I also molest men) Connolly, ETC., ETC come in. But it is not merely in the political sphere, it's in the entertainment sphere. Here you have African Americans in music, television, movies and the internet doing the bidding of their racist masters.
Furthermore, when President Obama was elected, I expected very little. I knew the man was surrounded by enemies including those in the Democratic Party. I looked at it as a temporary reprieve to allow Progressives once again to organize themselves. After all, the Right has pretty much destroyed the country. But the Left does as it always does, which, is to attack those closes to them in ideology. As I've said on this blog before, this has been a losing strategy for 50 years.
The Alan West's and the Jesse Peterson's reveal how much obscenity, contempt, and lies African Americans will accept about themselves. I guarntee you no Jewish citizen would ever say Jews were better off during the Holocaust. Neither would any other group, whether, they be, Jewsih, Latino, Asian, etc., etc. would, sit idly by and let their president and his family be humiliated, disgraced and discounted, while he attempts to to the best job he can.
And with the hand President Obama was dealt, he is doing about the best he can.
Dr. Umar Johnson talks a lot about how African-Americans do not see mainstream media as playing racist propaganda (it is seen as entertainment), and how this propaganda is being used to justify violence against Black people.
Correction: He was actually a House Representative, not a Senator, from Florida's 22nd Congressional district.
It has zero to do with the GOP and everything to do with the behavior of many black people now.
People dont give a rats ass about Obamas color, your racism against whites has been going on for DECADES before Obama
thank goodness!
