He DIDN’T need to. That’s the thing. All he needed to do was have a meeting with each and “let them feel heard.” The thesis has wrote was not necessary and quite honestly, there are some people that are over white people in education with a savior complex.

Exactly. First he put those two kids, who had only privately emailed him about their issue, on blast in a mass email to the entire class in which he specifically indicated he might be fired within a week depending upon how the class reacted. So a full on desperate to be a victim mental break based on nothing. The…

Those who think ‘Blacks are always complaining’ and ‘As long as it’s not a lynching, Blacks need to suck up everything silently and stoically’ are the same types who memorize whenever they give a homeless Black man a quarter. Actual good people don’t keep notes like that. They also apologize sincerely and directly lett…

Alright, I amend my comment in the other concet post: it’s good that profits are going to multiple criminal justice reform groups and not just one prisoner. I still wanna see the male hiphop community examine their lack of empathy and kinship with Black WOMEN, collectively and individually.

One might conclude that the “solution” is to never put anything good into minority, otherwise disadvantaged, or any community of “character” for that matter. Can we not have nice things?

It’s a presidential library not a government program. There are no federal tax dollars being spent on this project; It is a total private enterprise.

It wasn't the students reactions that got him fired. They could have had a meeting with all 3. It was the awkward damn email talking about his work was "all for the minorities." Want to make a class awkward? Welp, you just did, and the university would rather scrap that meeting now.

The headline of this article is misleading. It is true that he was fired AFTER mixing up the names, but he was not fired BECAUSE he mixed up the names. He was fired based on his overall interactions with the students and other faculty (which included sending out an email to all of his students regarding the name…

Wow, pieces of shit ungreyed another piece of shit. fucking morons.

So sorry about what you and others have suffered. It’s partly explains why I’m offended by this. Two problematic men with material and social capital caped for another seemingly on the say-so of “gangster” J. Prince with zero description of what makes his a worthy cause. They face few consequences in the Black…

Hey! That’s “Free Larry Hoover”; you want more than that, you’re going to have to pay.

I mean I keep reading these articles and they don’t seem to be doing a good job of explaining why Larry Hoover Should be free according to those involved with the concert. So assuming these articles have done a decent job surmising the event and what points they put out to support it, it doesn’t seem like anyone…

I mean, I don’t know the intricacies of the situation, but how on earth are they “continuously misrepresenting [her] brand in public”? She crashed a performance, and they’re saying she...crashed a performance.

I suspect if the teacher had actually restrained that child she would be out of a job and in jail this being Texass and all.

We, as a people, are too forgiving.

Well, may he be as useful and long lasting as the actual economy size Lawry’s :)

I don’t care how good the lovin’ is...I ain’t putting nobody’s name on my face lol

As a Chicago resident on the South Side during the height of Larry Hoover’s power, he was at the top of an organization that caused a lot of deaths and destroyed a lot of communities.

There is this underlying rage, hatred even, that so many men have for women. They believe they love women because they are attracted to them, lust for them, they bear their children, cater to their needs in a relationship, etc. But I see the hate as clearly as anything else. Men show this hate from the abortion laws…
