Stacey Patton, professor of journalism at Howard University, has caused an uproar with her advice to white people who want to oppose this Administration. Patton told them that they had to follow the path of John Brown, who led a bloodbath before the Civil War that included killing white slave owners and pro-slave settlers.
In a blog titled “John Brown Didn’t Ask Enslaved People How to Be A Good White Ally,” Patton told white liberals to stop asking how to be a better “ally” to minorities. She writes:
“It’s a question that always lands heavy. Not because I doubt their sincerity, but because the question itself is still a form of protection that centers the asker’s confusion instead of the target’s danger. It’s a request to be taught, forgiven, and reassured, again and again. It’s another round of homework assigned to the wounded…It’s exhausting as hell because it’s still a form of emotional outsourcing.”
Instead, she tells whites to become modern John Browns and presumably unleash a new era akin to “Bleeding Kansas” and the infamous Pottawatomie massacre.
Brown was a militant slave abolitionist during the pre-Civil War “Bleeding Kansas” period. In 1856, he orchestrated the Pottawatomie massacre. He and fellow abolitionists dragged five Kansas settlers, at least three of whom were pro-slavery sympathizers, out of their homes and executed them.
Patton wants whites to emulate Brown, who “saw the horror for what it was and decided that ending this racist f*ckery mattered more than being understood.” What clearly makes Brown stand out for Patton is his violence: “So when white allies ask, ‘What can I do?’ here’s the answer: Be like John Brown. Ask yourself, what am I willing to burn so somebody else can breathe?”
Of course, a hanging might be a bit stiff for many liberals longing to be Antifa. So, Patton acknowledges, “If you don’t want to die like John Brown, fine. But understand that somebody always does.”
Not surprisingly, the professor has little time for those who want to embrace the alternative, non-violent lessons of Martin Luther King:
“Now, white liberals love to quote Martin Luther King Jr. because he is a man that can be polished into civility. But John Brown doesn’t fit the script. He was a m’fukin’ gangsta! He didn’t ask for gradual change, or healing, or bipartisan cooperation. He saw a nation addicted to violence and knew that moral persuasion alone couldn’t sober it.”
Patton’s column comes after the controversy involving the John Brown Gun Club, which was connected to flyers appearing on campuses like Georgetown reading “Hey, Fascists! Catch!” The phrase was written on unused bullet casings found after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. It went on to proclaim, “The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.”
The recent charges against Benjamin Song, an Antifa member, also raised the group. Song was charged with three counts of attempted murder of federal agents in addition to three counts of discharging a firearm stemming from an ambush-style shooting at an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. A dozen others were charged in the plot. He was also reportedly a member of the John Brown Gun Club.
Notably, this is a journalism professor in a school that has long been associated with advocacy journalism and the controversial hire of former New York Times reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones.
We previously discussed the release of the results of interviews with over 75 media leaders by former executive editor for The Washington Post Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward. They concluded that objectivity is now considered reactionary and even harmful. Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, editor-in-chief at the San Francisco Chronicle, said it plainly: “Objectivity has got to go.”
Downie recounted how news leaders today.
“believe that pursuing objectivity can lead to false balance or misleading “bothsidesism” in covering stories about race, the treatment of women, LGBTQ+ rights, income inequality, climate change and many other subjects. And, in today’s diversifying newsrooms, they feel it negates many of their own identities, life experiences and cultural contexts, keeping them from pursuing truth in their work.”
Now, objectivity is virtually synonymous with prejudice. Kathleen Carroll, former executive editor at the Associated Press, declared, “It’s objective by whose standard? … That standard seems to be White, educated, and fairly wealthy.”
Stanford journalism professor Ted Glasser insisted that journalism needed to “free itself from this notion of objectivity to develop a sense of social justice.” He declared that “Journalists need to be overt and candid advocates for social justice, and it’s hard to do that under the constraints of objectivity.”
Lauren Wolfe, the fired freelance editor for the New York Times, has not only gone public to defend her pro-Biden tweet but published a piece titled “I’m a Biased Journalist and I’m Okay With That.”
Former New York Times writer (and now Howard University Journalism Professor) Nikole Hannah-Jones is a leading voice for advocacy journalism.
Indeed, Hannah-Jones has declared, “all journalism is activism.” Her 1619 Project has been challenged as deeply flawed and she has a long record as a journalist of intolerance, controversial positions on rioting, and fostering conspiracy theories. Hannah-Jones would later help lead the effort at the Times to get rid of an editor and apologize for publishing a column from Sen. Tom Cotton as inaccurate and inflammatory.
Yet, Howard saw Hannah-Jones as perfect for a chair in its journalism school.
Professor Patton seems to have left not just neutrality but sanity behind with her implied support for violent action. It is unclear how such views impact her journalism courses at Howard University. However, she has featured prominently in The New York Times, Washington Post, and The Chronicle of Higher Education as well as ABC News, CNN, and MSNBC.
“ What clearly makes Brown stand out for Patton is his violence: “So when white allies ask, ‘What can I do?’ here’s the answer: Be like John Brown. Ask yourself, what am I willing to burn so somebody else can breathe?”
Of course, a hanging might be a bit stiff for many liberals longing to be Antifa. So, Patton acknowledges, “If you don’t want to die like John Brown, fine. But understand that somebody always does.”
Not surprisingly, the professor has little time for those who want to embrace the alternative, non-violent lessons of Martin Luther King:”
Wrong. What makes John Brown stand out to Patton is not his violence. He realized that action must be taken for things to change sometimes, as it has throughout history. Taking the non-violent approach is not always going to be effective. We didn’t earn independence from the British monarchy by simple persuasion and civil discussion. Jonn Say often argues that political violence is justified when government cannot be changed by mere debate or argument when government is acting lawlessly a la Jan 6. Those rioters were not asking what they could do better, they were taking things into their hands and effectuating the change they wanted. Through the use of violence.
We had a civil war because those who wanted to keep slavery would never accept the idea that a person can be the property of another and be sold like cattle is wrong. Especially when there was a religious justification for it. It was still wrong and John Brown saw that clearly and acted on it. He chose to fight against slavery in the same way slave owners chose to keep it, through violence. That’s just the way some things end up when everything else fails to effectuate a change that is clearly needed.
These kinds of discussions require a deeper understanding and as Patton pointed out. It also requires questions that “land heavily”. Her article is a means to ponder and understand on a deeper level why John Brown’s actions were necessary according to him and she has applied it to the current problem of how liberals approach current issues of injustice or clear moral wrongs. She’s not advocating for others to engage in violence like John Brown did. But she’s clearly stating that more people should think like John Brown did. More can be done than mere advocacy and ‘asking how to better serve your allies’. Don’t ask. Act. Protest. Hold those responsible accountable, etc. Things that don’t involve violence but are actionable should be done more often. That’s her point. Have the same fervor as John Brown without the violence he engaged in.
I think Rosa Parks and MLK would disagree with MS X, but I am sure MS X knows better than what those two icons of the civil rights movement knew.
I will take Rosa Parks and MLK over a paid DNC troll every day of the week.
hullbobby,
Rosa Parks and MLK did not live in a time when people like them would be lynched just for speaking out about injustices. They would have never gotten anything accomplished nor would their names have been known.
They were able to protest peacefully and advocate for change without using violence when those before them did ot affectuate the change that allowed them to do what they did.
John Brown lived in a time when violence as a means to effectuate change was common. People settled disputes through gunfights, duels, and punches to the face. Lynch mobs were common and violence against slaves was an accepted norm. John Brown’s actions are being compared against today’s expectations of what dissent should be, civil and through the courts. Back then a gun to your face would be a very effective way to drive your point across.
George/X says: Rosa Parks and MLK did not live in a time when people like them would be lynched just for speaking out about injustices.
Okay George/X, what is it this time? Yet another reminder of your low-IQ general ignorance? Or a careless episode of more lyin’ and denyin’ like a proud Biden?
The last known known instance of your fellow Democrat Kluxxers lynching a black American was when they murdered Michael Donald by lynching in 1981, in Mobile, Alabama.
Rosa Parks enraged your fellow Democrat Kluxxers in 1955, at the height of Democrat Kluxxer lynchings in modern times.
MLK enraged your fellow Democrat Kluxxers starting in 1950, with his house being firebombed by Kluxxers in 1955. One of your fellow Kluxxers murdered him in 1968.
Yet here you are, attempting the excuse that these peaceful protesters, Parks and MLK, did not live in an era where protesting you Kluxxers could make them victims of Kluxxer violence, like that which ended MLK’s life.
Then you ask us to agree with you that this hate filled race-baiting “journalist” you have an intersectional love affair with, gets some kind of excuse because today conservatives like Charlie Kirk are racists bringing bloodshed to black Americans across this country.
Every time somebody thinks “Okay, that’s it: George/X can’t possibly get more slimy than this pile of inarticulate crap e he’s posted, your response is to say “Hold my white sheets and watch this shyte””

——————————–
The left love violence. Just look at these blues cities who murder each other at a high rate.
Dustoff, as expected, you missed the point. Sigh.
So much affectuation and not so much effectuation.
But the lunatic professor lives NOW, 60 years AFTER PArks and MLK so what is her excuse for the slavery/lynching/victimhood crap?
@X
The above says it all. It says what people like you would do to people like me if you could. After all, anything is fair when fighting ‘fascists’ and lefties definition is quite broad.
Bring it on! So be it.

Wrong. What makes John Brown stand out to Patton is not his violence.
George springs into action, clownishly attempting to re-write what Stacy Patton wrote. He started earlier with his first post claiming he sees her as a brilliant journalist.
Now he wants to tell us her writing lacks focus and clarity… so he will helpfully interpret and explain her writings to us. All to ensure we don’t misunderstand and see any encouragement for homey black street justice.
Then why does she state that “If you don’t want to die like John Brown, fine. But understand that somebody always does.”? She is inciting acts of violence in her coded language. Perhaps she is the type that needs to be ferreted out and removed as the source of so much of our current social problems. She may think she is the new Rosa Parks and MLK but her would-be followers are not the very Christian and peaceful citizens that followed those two. She is reaching out to the BLM crowd and to the insane white indoctrinated tools of our education system. This cannot stand as it will be interpreted by many as a call for violence. She may be a deep thinker, but it is tainted with hate and indoctrinated retribution.
whimsicalmamma,
“ Then why does she state that “If you don’t want to die like John Brown, fine. But understand that somebody always does.”? She is inciting acts of violence in her coded language.”
If you have to ask why they you didn’t read the whole article. She points out exactly why and no she is not inciting acts of violence and there is no “coded language”.

The link above takes you to the article Turley “neglected” to link to.

George/X’s serial gaslighting is so extreme and repetitive that viewers are advised to wear dark glasses and have a fire extinguisher present to be prepared if he suddenly catches fire through spontaneous combustion.
Gaslighting
Gaslighting is the intended psychological manipulation by a low-IQ perpetrator of those they hope to victimize through intentionally misleading that person or persons. This involves the perpetrator lying, denying events, and other methods used with the intent to have their victims doubt their perceptions of reality, memories, and feel overly emotional or irrational.
The main five methods of gaslighting that may be used alone or in conjunction with others are: lying, blame shifting, countering, trivializing and withholding.
“These kinds of discussions require a deeper understanding . . .”
A “deeper understanding” that the unwashed masses — being prisoners in Plato’s Cave — can never attain. Thus you need Philosopher Kings (George and his ilk) to dictate your beliefs. Yours, then, is “not to question why, but to do or die.”
Tyrants and their spiritual brethren (George and his ilk) always bank on making impotent your ability to think and judge independently.
BTW, I thought that the Left was against kings.
And they say, just name one person who has called for violence. Just name one person as the list of those who call for shooting your political opponent in the back of the head becomes longer with each passing day. There is without question an eerie similarity between this educator and the Germans who took Jews in Poland into the woods, stripped them naked and shot them at the base of the skull. The answer on the left is to do the same thing that was done to these Jews to anyone who does not agree with them. Jeffries posed with a baseball bat, an instrument which may not be as effective as a bullet but is nonetheless just as capable of delivering the demise of one’s political opponent. There, I’ve named just one person.
“Be like John Brown”, a white Christian Nationalist who heard from God? But turn that violence toward any and all who do not align with any number of vogue Leftist causes or groups being advocated for. Gaza street executions, riots, subway chemical attacks, OKC Bombings, are all justifiable for the cause no matter the collateral damage too for that matter. Media, along with, judges, military members, really everyone can and should participate in this “liberation” movement as well, in the soulful eyes of journo-prof Patton. at least until the Leftists get a sufficient ally re-installed to replace King Trump.
Once again another DEI graduate displays her envy, sloth and wrath. There are many self hating whites who perceive a form of guilt for being born white that will be willing to embrace her advice. They should also be reminded that if they follow the path of John Brown it ultimately leads to 13 steps up to the gallows.
DEI brought us Kamala Harris, Katanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor and even Pete Buttigieg and we saw the VP help destroy the nation in 4 years, the Supreme Court turn into a battle between the law, the Constitution and precedence and feelings, personal pique and grievance theater and a Department of Transportation that ignored ancient air traffic systems in favor of “racist roads”.
DEI did serious harm to the nation and it metastasized in 2020 when the left decided it was more important to get rid of Trump even if it meant destroying the nation.
Luigi Mangione and James Robinson are today’s John Brown. Leftists intellectuals of a certain ilk sense the inflamed radicalism in rebellious youth and fan the flames from their safely ensconced posts above the fray, unmindful of Cardinal Richelieu, Rasputin, Heinrich Himmler et al.
Or you can say that John Brown’s actions just reinforced the slave owners anxieties and they dug in their heels and refused any accommodation with the abolitionists. Hard to say. Was the Civil War pre-ordained and always going to happen. I don’t know but I suspect so.
Joh Brown failed to provoke a slave uprising and in fact some of his first casualties were slaves. More than half the nation peacefully ended slavery before the civil war.
A better study would be what peaceful processes were missed that might have prevented our bloodiest war.
The UK was able to end slavery in most of the empire but they had also been the one of the greatest transporters of slaves and brought it to the American colonies while prohibiting slavery in the UK proper.
I think that the war could have been prevented but events like “Bleeding Kansas” just hardened attitudes even more and the words stopped and the War followed soon enough.
Professor Patton is insane. He wants to instigate a war while assuming his side will win. Not likely and wars, once started, take on a life of their own. Especially civil wars and irrespective of their original cause. Seems Professor Patton has neglected to pay attention to the failed civil wars, revolutions, rebellions. Maybe he should look more at Syria, Lebanon, Ukraine, Indonesia, Vietnam, India/Pakistan, Afghanistan. Some places perpetual war with occasional breaks for exhaustion, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Columbia, Mexico.
France had a revolution, ended up with an empire, Napoleonic wars for nearly 20 years and then had a king again. How many Republics has France had now?
But then Patton is a journalist and an idiot and not a historian.
GEB says “Professor Patton is insane. He wants to instigate a war while assuming his side will win.”
Geb, Professor Turley left out that Stacy Patton is a female, a Black Liars & Marxists spokesman. And her earlier claim to fame just a few weeks ago was when she wrote columns celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder, claiming it was justice for his deep seated racism and promotion of the racism that was bringing bloodshed to black Americans across the country.
Now, it it slightly possible that she is also a Tranny male identifying as a male, because she is also a spokesman for the Alphabet Sex Pride Tribe battalions in all their perversions. But that is unlikely: she started out as a runaway street kid in the hood. Black street gangs in the hood are just as intolerant of Trannies as they are of Jews.
I very much doubt she actually believes a word of of anything that she claims to believe in her bitter, hate filled writings. Nor do I believe she hopes to instigate a war. She’s not so crazy as to believe either that “her side” would win, or that she would escape any kind of retribution either during such a war or afterwards. Long distance cowards like here never take chances on FAFO – there’s no money to be made in doing that.
It is far, far safer and more lucrative to line her pockets sitting safely and comfortably ensconced in her office, raking in the cash. Cash paid to her as a black race-baiter and bigot, paid by white Americans eager to cleanse themselves of their White Guilt by purchasing indulgences from Stacy Patton.
“Was the Civil War pre-ordained and always going to happen. I don’t know but I suspect so.”
The conflicting priorities of the populated Northern and agrarian Southern states absolutely were destined to come into conflict n the 19th Century. The Northern states wanted to exert maximum central Federal government power that was primarily under their control, the Southern states wanted to maintain robust States rights, as appeared to be guaranteed by the Constitution restricting Fedgov to specific, circumscribed, powers. Whether war was the inevitable result is debatable. The sensible resolution of that conflict would appear to have been to allow the Southern states to succeed, possibly requiring them to pay monetary damages to do so. There certainly is no obvious enumerated Federal power in the Constitution to prevent such an action, let alone take military action in that pursuit. However, where government is concerned there always seems to be some demagogue close at hand who eager to build a personal empire on the bodies of others in such circumstances. In this case, that demagogue was Abraham Lincoln. In a previous (albeit much more limited) example, the culprits were my cousins, John and Samuel Adams.
“Shay’s Rebellion”
Preordained GEB? I too agree for different reasons perhaps.
What is the rational reason there aren’t any indigenous white people in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Once again Professor Turley twists an article into something it’s not. Such disingenious portrayal of Patton’s point is exactly one of the points she’s making. Conveniently Professor Turley does not link to the blog, which is actually a substack article, because when you read it in its entirety the context of what she’s saying and what Turley claims is dramatically different. Turley wants to leave the impression that Patton is telling people to literally be like John Brown. That is NOT what she’s saying. Of course the illiterate and those with severe reading comprehension problems who populate this blog who will never be able to understand what Patton is actually saying or just won’t care because they are too lazy to even try will arrive at the misleading conclusion Professor Turley wants people to think it is.
Her argument is not about encouraging violence. It’s about John Brown’s actions and the fact that he knew more than just persuation was required to change things. She made the point that there will always be someone willing to give up certain comforts and sacrifice their innocence to do more than just ask what can be done. She points out that John Brown chose to act rather than just ask what can be done. She pointed out in her substack article what Professor Turley, as always, chose to leave out the critical point of her argument.
This is what she said in its entirety,
“ What would be revolutionary is for white folks to stop asking us what to do and start asking other white folks why they refuse to do it. To stop seeking moral instructions from the wounded and start wounding the system that keeps making new victims. To stop requesting permission to be decent and just go do the damn work!
The exhaustion comes from the repetition. From each generation of white people discovering racism like it’s a new scandal, while the rest of us are still trying to survive this sh!t.
And every time these questions come up, I keep thinking of John Brown. Because John Brown never asked enslaved people how to be a good white ally.
Can you even imagine the absurdity of it?
Picture John Brown strolling onto a plantation, hat in hand, stepping over the blood, the chains, the auction block, and asking a man in shackles, “Excuse me, brother, could you explain how I might leverage my privilege more effectively?” Imagine him interrupting the wails of a mother whose children were just sold off to ask, “Do you have any reading recommendations on how I can be less complicit?” Picture him whispering through the bars of a slave pen, “What hashtag should I use to show my solidarity?”
It sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous. No sane person would walk into a hellscape and ask the people burning in it to explain the goddamn fire.
Brown was a white man who looked around in the mid-1800s and understood, with holy clarity, that slavery was not a political problem but a moral emergency. He didn’t workshop his feelings about privilege. Brown didn’t need a syllabus, a think piece, or a guidebook on allyship. He didn’t need affirmation from Black folks that he was one of the good ones. He saw the horror for what it was and decided that ending this racist f*ckery mattered more than being understood.
He didn’t post a black square or write a thread about accountability. He saw an empire built on blood and decided to make it stop. He studied the system, its laws, its economics, its theology, and concluded that slavery would not die by persuasion. He used his money to fund Black schools, armed uprisings, and the Underground Railroad. He lived among the people whose liberation he was willing to die for. And when he launched the doomed raid at Harpers Ferry, he wasn’t looking for praise or purity. He was looking for pressure.
When they captured him, beaten and bleeding, he didn’t apologize. He said, “I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.”
Just like that.
Now, white liberals love to quote Martin Luther King Jr. because he is a man that can be polished into civility. But John Brown doesn’t fit the script. He was a m’fukin’ gangsta! He didn’t ask for gradual change, or healing, or bipartisan cooperation. He saw a nation addicted to violence and knew that moral persuasion alone couldn’t sober it.
In 2025, “allyship” has been turned into a brand. There are T-shirts, webinars, influencer campaigns, hashtags, and diversity statements. It’s a cottage industry of self-congratulation. Brown would have burned it all down because he was a man who didn’t want to perform goodness; he wanted to destroy evil.
So when white allies ask, “What can I do?” here’s the answer: Be like John Brown. Ask yourself, what am I willing to burn so somebody else can breathe?
And stop asking us for the answer because we ain’t got it. And why the hell should we? It’s strange, really, to expect the people still clawing our way out of the wreckage to tell you how to stop building the fire. Every day we live inside the matrix of white supremacy, maneuvering through traps set generations ago in laws, schools, offices, and culture. We’re dodging the shrapnel, and you’re standing there asking for directions out of a maze you built.
We are not the architects. We are the collateral damage. You don’t ask the people choking on the smoke to explain how to put out the blaze. You go get the damn hose. You stop pretending you don’t see the flames. That’s the real answer: you already know what to do. Be honest: you just don’t want to lose the warmth that fire gives you.
That’s the thing nobody wants to say out loud: liberation costs. It always has. If you want to stand on the right side of history, you have to give up the life history gave you.
If you don’t want to die like John Brown, fine. But understand that somebody always does. The question is whether you’ll keep letting it be us. Will you keep outsourcing the danger. Will you keep making our suffering your syllabus. That question — “what can I do? — is another act of violence and a demand that we keep bleeding so you can keep learning. Because every time you ask us what to do, you’re really saying, you die first.”

And he will use Professor Turley’s blog as though it were his own every day to make sure you damned well know he is right as he asserts his intellectual superiority to that of his host, Professor Turley.

Howard University is a subpar university. As one of the Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU), founded in 1867 as a private university, it has been plagued with scandals and sullied reputation for years but especially its medical school and medical residency programs. From losing accreditation, placed on probation, to misappropriating financial aid, it is surprising Howard U is still operating. That journalism instructor Stacey Patton is calling for violence, is a reflection of the chaos at Howard U. It is all that Leftists / Democrats can offer; they can’t win by using Aristotelian logic, engaging in the spirit of Platonic dialogue or Socratic methods: violence is the tool of intellectually weak people who rely on blunt force to subdue their opponents.
Sadly it will take bloodshed in the streets before all of this comes to an end. You can’t expect 300+ million people to suddenly stop in their tracks, calm down and do a 180 degrees turn. Obama, Hillary, Pelosi, Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy, Dan Goldman, Eric Swallowswell, and the entire DNC / MSM apparatchik created this blood lust violent streak. History repeats itself: 1861 & 2020 will be recorded in US History books when Democrats fomented violence to break America.
Howard University orthopedic surgery program loses accreditation, citing ‘structural issues’
According to the ACGME records, the orthopedic program received accreditation warnings from 2019 to 2020, followed by a “probationary accreditation” status from 2021 to 2023. University officials did not confirm if the accreditation withdrawal was congruent with the probationary periods.

“Brown was eventually captured after his raid on Harpers Ferry and hanged.”
Seems as if Patton may be provoking a similar fate…
Let’s see. Throw in the towel and give up objectivity to report the truth. Throw in the towel and give up on reading and math to teach kids they are aggressors and victims. Anybody else thinking about Will Rogers? He shared a thought with his audience with a story about taking his cow down the road to his neighbor’s bull to get “serviced”.
John Brown was tried and convicted of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia. At that time it carried a mandatory penalty.
What group doing the most measurably harmful damage to black people? What group is killing black people the most? What group is addicting black people the most? What group is maleducating black people the most?
“So when white allies ask, ‘What can I do?’ here’s the answer: Be like John Brown. Ask yourself, what am I willing to burn so somebody else can breathe?”
John Brown didn’t burn “things”, he executed people like a Nazi. Who are white people supposed to kill like John Brown did?
This is what the level of discourse has come to in academia. Bright professionals who think that there is a revolution in the making when apparently they have no idea how good they have it in this country. You would be imprisoned or horribly executed in any other country for professing such nonsense.
The liberal paradox.

Who imagined an imposter could give Wally The Clown a bad name.
Howard’s not Harvard’s. Sorry.
Ironic that Trump pushed for Black colleges to receive increased federal funding during his first term. Apparently it wasn’t money well-spent.
Apparently? That sounds like to you’re happy about that. And what about the trillions spent on blacks since the 60’s? Now that was an obvious failure.

Patton proves, yet again, that Howard University, along with virtually all other similar institutions, have metastasized into indoctrination centers rather than educational organizations.
With intellectually-impaired “teachers” like Patton infecting Howard students, it is little wonder that the leftward drift of academia has become a mad dash toward the shoals of Marxism. Her words revive memories of not only John Brown, but also of Mao Zedong and Pol Pot.
Infecting students? Hardly. The entire response of blacks towards the USA i.e., whites, has been to beat them psychically and physically because it came from their parents’ mindset. So Howard is really just reinforcing racism and hate towards all non-blacks. Of course taxpayer have to give them more federal dollars to reinforce and spread hate.
Anonymous, I served in the Marine Corps with black guys who were my friends. I went to a Supremes concert with them and one of them walked in front of me and one behind. They not only didn’t want to beat me up but they were willing to keep me from being beaten. They had my back.
I’m a conservative and I don’t want to hear your crap about all blacks want to beat up white people.
Do either Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas want to beat up white people? The left will point at you and say, see they’re all racists. Your saying that all blacks want to beat up white people is doing the exact same thing. We don’t need you or want you or your stereotypical opinions in the conservative movement because you do not reflect anything that conservatives stand for. The educator discussed in this blog is no doubt a racist and being just like her so are you.
And who is “we”? You do not represent anyone but yourself you silly Honkey.
Forgot to add, I was in the USMC too. 8 years. Staff Sargent 2ndMARDIV. My platoon was 100% GREEN. No other colors.
From your statement.. Supremes concert, your experience is 50 plus years ago. Times have changed.
Why read fiction? No writer in their wildest imagination could make this up.
And it the allows internet that spreads that hate espoused by deranged persons.
Time to END Federal Aid to colleges, it is being wasted!
Also outlaw public unions, the Political Army of the Democrats!
you said that last week, and the week before, and the week before.
Time to end commenters have posting their same tired material day after day week after week

Oh, look at you, George/X! Nobody saw that coming!
Stop aid. No. Just don’t give aid to multi billion dollar endowed schools.
Actually, aid should be given to trade schools. With that one would see a fast return on the dollars invested.
