As Kanadian konservative Gavin McInnes remarked in this article, this NY Times article provides "a fascinating look inside the mind of the far left."
Continues McInnes: |
In her book Ethics Along the Color Line, Stubblefield states, "White supremacy is central to this state of affairs, and we cannot repair the world without ending it.’’
Her subsequent behavior gives us a pretty good idea of what society would be like with Social Justice Warriors like her are in control.
Science and facts take a back seat to emotion-based politics that are all about everyone feeling good about themselves, no matter how incredibly handicapped they may be.
As you may have guessed, it's a s*** show that leaves everyone worse off than they were before, especially the people we were meant to help.
Anna didn’t want to keep her feelings secret. As far as she knew, neither did D.J. In recent weeks, their relationship had changed, and it wasn’t clear when or how to share the news. ‘‘It’s your call,’’ she said to him in the lead-up to a meeting with his mother and older brother. ‘‘It’s your family. It’s up to you.’’
When she arrived at the house on Memorial Day in 2011, Anna didn’t know what D.J. planned to do. His brother, Wesley, was working in the garden, so she went straight inside to speak with D.J. and his mother, P. They chatted for a while at the dining table about D.J.’s plans for school and for getting his own apartment. Then there was a lull in the conversation after Wesley came back in, and Anna took hold of D.J.’s hand. ‘‘We have something to tell you,’’ they announced at last. ‘‘We’re in love.’’
‘‘What do you mean, in love?’’ P. asked, the color draining from her face.
To Wesley, she looked pale and weak, like ‘‘Caesar when he found out that Brutus betrayed him.’’ He felt sick to his stomach. What made them so uncomfortable was not that Anna was 41 and D.J. was 30, or that Anna is white and D.J. is black, or even that Anna was married with two children while D.J. had never dated anyone. What made them so upset — what led to all the arguing that followed, and the criminal trial and million-Âdollar civil suit — was the fact that Anna can speak and D.J. can’t; that she was a tenured professor of ethics at Rutgers University in Newark and D.J. has been declared by the state to have the mental capacity of a toddler. | More at the link, but the short version is that a respected leftist academic had sex with a severely handicapped man, and will pay a price for it. |
Perhaps one of the most head-shaking stories I've read this year. It reads like the proverbial slow motion train-wreck: you can't tear your eyes away.
One more thing: the story demonstrates again the dangers and the folly of ignoring scientific skepticism. This woman, and an entire field of do-gooders, ignored all the warning signs that the "science" was in fact cock-eyed. Dr. Stubblefield is paying an extraordinary (and deserved) price for that, but the others in this field should now begin to question their beliefs. Sad thing is, they won't. |
