Theresa Cameron did NOT receive a PhD, she received a 2 year doctorate… big difference. And the basis for her firing were well known and established; plagiarism and incompetence, having nothing to do with her race. Anyone bothering to look at her doctoral thesis would find ample problems there as well including the hand of a certain ghost writer.

Centuries of slavery and drtmiicinasion. We are improving through every decade but recessions such as the Great Recession that we just experienced adversely affect the poor disproportionately. In addition, as a result, some middle class people fall into poverty due to job losses and loss of savings.No one sensible expects the ill effects of past drtmiicinasion to disappear quickly but the improvements in the African American community have been fairly steady. As Vernon Jordan pointed out, however, at the National Urban League Conference last July, there is a gap growing within the African American community between the middle class and the poor. It must be addressed. Education has to be the focus. The jobs of most Americans are being threatened by globalization. The emphasis has to be on training for the jobs of the future, not just for African Americans, but for all Americans.Edit: I am African American and it never ceases to amaze me how blatantly racist some of the conservatives are regarding questions and answers on YA about African Americans. What does this accomplish?

Yes, I’m still continuing to process it all. Perhaps I will write my thoughts about the B’more riots soon. Unless, of course, there will be more riots. Then, there will be even more to process.

I have a student who is writing an article about this W. S. Scarborough, and I would like to use the photograph of the etching of Scarborough from blacksoncampus.com in our student org newsletter. How do I get permission to use the image in electronic and print media? Thank you.

Comment on Pioneering Black Feminist Makes History Again by Markus

If evolution biology and latest DNA-genetic studies were carefully taught in schools people might understand how really ridiculous whole “race” issue is. And why? Because DNA studies of genetic lines of people are telling that same story: all people all over the world are descents of one and only African woman who once lived in Africa about 150 000 years ago. All Europeans, just like all Asians and Native Americans are actually from same mitochondrial mtDNA genetic line of L3. We can call her (L3) “African Eve”. This isn’t even scientific issue.

The idea of race as ideology (based on skin color) was founded just over 300 years ago. It’s pretty short period of life of modern humans. It took even several decades to make so called whites to believe in this theory. Not long time ago i mentioned to my son that he or at least his children will see a time when this whole racial pyramid has been tumbled down.

Comment on A Beautiful (Black) Mind: Ronald Mallett by Davidi Gap

This article is more than 5 years old as of this date and Ronald Mallett has yet to build his time machine. Now he faces stiff competition from research engineer Marshall Barnes who has actually constructed a demonstrable prototype that is nearing the 1st stage requirement to become a time machine. See http://www.thegreattimemachinerace.weebly.com for the details.
