[American Thinker] In a recent article, we considered the claims of Brittney Cooper, a professor at Rutgers University. She believes that all "white people," whom she also refers to as "m------------" who are "committed to being villains" — in a word, racists — need to be "taken out."
One of her arguments is that, whenever non-whites try to have a "reckoning" with whites, the latter say, "It's just human nature. If y'all had all of this power, you would have done the same thing," right?
To this, Cooper insists,
No, that's what white humans did, white human beings thought there's a world here and we own it. Prior to them, black and brown people have been sailing across oceans, interacting with each other for centuries without total subjugation, domination and colonialism, right?
This must be the professor's most ignorant of claims — which is saying much — that non-whites somehow behaved with more tolerance and civility whenever they landed on the shores of others.
While we don't necessarily have historical records of black sub-Saharans "sailing across oceans," we do know that they savagely warred on and enslaved one another. It is enough to point out that, as Michael Omolewa, a Nigerian diplomat, once did:
[T]he bulk of the supply [of African slaves sold to Europeans] came from the Nigerians. These Nigerian middlemen moved to the interior where they captured other Nigerians who belonged to other communities. ... Many Nigerian middlemen began to depend totally on the slave trade and neglected every other business and occupation. The result was that when the trade was abolished [by England in 1807] these Nigerians began to protest. As years went by and the trade collapsed such Nigerians lost their sources of income and became impoverished.
These are not just historical observations. Despite Western efforts to abolish slavery, there are currently more than 50 million slaves — all of them in the non-Western world. To quote from one report,

I'm sure the Arabs would be amused given they ran a lucrative slave trade from south Sahara to the markets in Cairo, Damascus, and Baghdad for hundreds of years before the Europeans set out to explore the world.

I guess this RACIST or Mega Dumba$$ graduated from an Internet college operated out of the BLoM leadership school.
Where is the ACLU and other racial equality groups on this open display of Racism and promotion to assault a certain race.
Since Rutgers Univ. continues to employ and allow this Racist teaching? I wonder how long before a LAWYER sees grounds for $$$$$$$ / Fame making lawsuit.

Wikipedia describes her as a "professor of Women and Gender Studies", which makes a lot of sense because those fields abhor anything historical in nature.
DON'T click the link as there's a photo of her there.

... The Arabs are amused because we're getting the blame, and Snookums here is missing the part about the African tribes that enriched themselves on the slave trade for centuries.

This porker, and she is huge, is a tenured professor and Associate Professor of Women's and Gender Studies and Africana Studies. She has never left the Black plantation: Ph.D. in American Studies from the Graduate Institute of Liberal Arts,Emory University,2009. M.A. from Emory (2007) and bachelors degrees in English and Political Science from Howard University (2002).

NN2N1, but that's not slavery slavery, like America had. Which was the worst slavery in history. And was invented in 1619 when slaves were brought to America.

It's "mostly free" slavery in the rest of the world. It's slavery slavery for evah in the USA even though we haven't had it since 1863 de jure and a bit later de facto.

NK and China slavery actually involves organ harvesting which we only do for fetuses if the money is right. That probably put them on a level of evil similar to the Canaanite’s and Aztecs.

Whose butt's 'bout to bust the world's crust in
Had best gone to Tech
And played tackle, but, heck,

Ep. 15 Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund reveals what really happened on January 6th. Our Fox News interview with him never aired, so we invited him back. pic.twitter.com/opDlu4QGlp
[American Thinker] General Mark Milley, who is Secretary of Defense Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,
...correction per Procopius2k...
has forgotten that he was a soldier. Now, he’s only a leftist bureaucrat in uniform. Milley’s basic mode of operation is ingratiating himself to a political class that values the servile.
What makes Milley dangerous is his willingness to lie unhesitatingly, particularly in public. He is the highest-ranking military officer in the nation, and this matters. Technically the Secretary of Defense is a civilian post even though the Secretary may have a military background. The President and Congress provide civilian oversight but can only do so when presented with truthful, accurate information.
In June 2021, Tucker Carlson made some very strong remarks about Milley’s attempts to make teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the military seem benign. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Milley compared CRT to reading Marx and Mao, as if it’s just part of educating the troops about different ideologies. However, our military is not urging the adoption of Marxism. (At least not yet!) What Milley is doing is cooperating with the Democrat left to indoctrinate the troops in blatant racism.
No, he's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. They work for the Secretary of Defense who is Austin.
has forgotten that he was a soldier
He is a politician in a uniform as are all the senior military men. When your position requires the approval of the White House, its no longer a purely institutional selection.

Although Milley has plenty of war fighting experience on his resume, he does not appear to be good at strategy or tactics. The Afghanistan withdrawal was terrible, yet Milley did three tours in Afghanistan. How could he not have a realistic conception of how the Afghan army would perform based on his experience in theater? Why evacuate through Kabul instead of Bagram?
Milley then pitched a plan for the Ukraine counteroffensive that was not realistic or convincing to anyone. Maybe his Chinese buddy punked him with a bad plan, but Milley appears to have been the perfect embodiment of the Peter Principle, until Biden made PP the Mission Statement for an entire administration.

[FoxNews] In my old role as director of public affairs at the Department of Justice, I was responsible for preparing the attorney general to speak publicly on hot button issues and flagging the instances when he needed to address them publicly, whether it be via a press conference, a media interview or congressional testimony.
If I were still there, here are some top-of-mind questions on enforcement I’d be working through with the attorney general and encouraging him to address as soon as possible:
DC district attorney declined to prosecute 67% of arrests, report showsVideoWhy did the U.S. attorney in D.C. decline to prosecute 67% of people arrested in Washington last year? The Washington Post called this "startling." Since DC violent crime is significantly up – murder alone by almost 30% – and the D.C. U.S. attorney is a unique office responsible for prosecuting both federal and local crime, are you concerned about what is happening – or not happening – out of the office down the street from you?
Are you committed to devoting the same resources and vigor to fighting violent crime Washington and in cities across America as you are towards Jan. 6 offenders? The D.C. U.S. attorneys website is dominated by Jan. 6 updates and very little on the murders and crime that are ravaging the city.
Why did DOJ prosecutor Leo Wise recommend no prison time for Hunter Biden but insisted on a year in prison for the former Baltimore police commissioner who committed exactly the same crime? The commissioner owed far less in taxes than Hunter, and yet ensured he would go to jail, while he sought to give Hunter sweeping immunity from other potential crimes committed.
Are you concerned about the appearance of aggressively prosecuting the current GOP front-runner for the 2024 race? DOJ has a known policy on election sensitivity. Does DOJ plan to pause – and if so, when – all investigative and prosecutorial steps with respect to the former president in the months leading up to the 2024 election in order to avoid the appearance of influencing the election?
Given that Joe Biden is the attorney general's boss and has declared his son's innocence publicly, why have you not appointed a special counsel to investigate Hunter to remove any appearance of impropriety and assure the public of even-handed treatment under the law?
Are you concerned about the appearance of disparate treatment from special counsels? Special Counsel John Durham did not bring a "conspiracy to defraud the US government" charge against members of the Hillary Clinton campaign who sought to influence the 2016 election in their favor by feeding known false information about Trump to the FBI but Jack Smith did bring that same charge against Trump regarding his behavior in the 2020 election? While special counsels are "independent," the law allows you to intervene if necessary.
Why did the Southern District of New York send a letter asking when the judge was planning on putting Hunter Biden’s former best friend and business partner Devon Archer in jail right before Archer was set to testify before a congressional committee? Given that it has been 18 months since Archer was sentenced and he was scheduled to present testimony to Congress implicating President Biden and his son in potentially problematic business dealings, do you think the timing of the letter was problematic?

I would like someone to ask him his waist and inseam measurements.

I would like to see him asked if Hunter’s signature on the Diversion Agreement gave him broad immunity even without the plea. That would be a fun question. A followup might be whether Lisa Monaco had the authority to approve the deal.
