These are the true enemies of Americans who are black. https://www.thecollegefix.com/rutgers-english-department-to-deemphasize-traditional-grammar-in-solidarity-with-black-lives-matter/
"The English Department at Rutgers University recently announced a list of 'anti-racist' directives and initiatives for the upcoming fall and spring semesters, including an effort to deemphasize traditional grammar rules."
"The initiatives were spelled out by Rebecca Walkowitz, the English Department chair at Rutgers University, and sent to faculty, staff and students in an email, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix."
This is what Walkowitz really means: “You darkies don’t have the capacity to learn proper English, so we won’t make you do it and we’ll give you a degree anyway.”
That would be a more honest statement.
That would be a more honest statement.
This is a declaration of war by Leftists.
And who is their enemy? The non-white students who buy into this declaration of their own allegedly inferiority are their enemies. This is an intentional effort to hobble any consumers of this garbage -- for life if possible.
Hardcore white supremacists are more honest and less dangerous than these academics.
At least the worshipers of white carcasses will tell you up front that he hates your black ass and wants nothing to do with you.

These credentialitarians are far worse. They camouflage their true opinions about the inferiority of non-whites into the guise of combatting racism. It’s a Trojan Horse.
A while back, one of my friends shared a status about Wangari Maathai (1940-2011), who was the first African woman to receive a Nobel (Peace) Prize.
I know of her primarily because, along with my father and hundreds of other Kenyans, Tanzanians and Ugandans, she came to American via the Mboya Airlift – also known as the Kennedy Airlift.
I’ve mentioned the Airlift several times, including here:

The intent of the Airlift was to take Eastern Africa’s best students, give each of them a western education, then send them back to their countries to prepare them for independence from European colonialism.
The African students who were chosen for the Mboya Airlift were selected because they were the best students in the schools observed ...
... and those who did the choosing felt that, by offering a quality education to these best and brightest, their efforts and money would not be wasted.
No standards were lowered, not even language standards. And I'd venture to say that all of the Airlift students spoke better English than many Americans of the time; the Africans were educated by the British.
If America’s higher education Affirmative Action operated like this – by restricting acceptance to the best and the brightest – many of the conversations, criticisms about it and travesties, such as the one at Rutgers, would never have occurred. Alas, it does not.
My American parents – my mother and “step” father – have always been against AA because they could see the unspoken implications of it: that blacks needed it because we are allegedly inferior to other groups.
The way AA has often been implemented, by creating a lower standard for blacks and browns, increases the numbers of students accepted into four-year schools AND increases the number of drop-outs of those same students.
This simple bit of cause-and-effect tends entrenches the idea of black and brown inferiority in the eyes of observers (employers) and, probably, in the eyes of many of those same students.
Why not skim off the top instead?
Why not skim off the top instead?
Of course, we know why; there would be fewer black and brown students accepted into four-year universities and these kind of programs are more about optics, creating money pits and shaping leftist soldiers than about true educational effectiveness.
I bet the graduation rates would be much higher, however, and graduates would be more competent and less resentful and entitled.
But the Higher Ed Establishment -- part of the propaganda arm of the Organized Left -- isn't about to cut off the tactics and strategies which feed those two emotions.
Rutgers is far from the first university to propose "relaxed grammar standards" for its English Department. This cloaked form of TRUE white supremacism is widespread in academia.
This is how the Organized Left pretends to show "love" toward blacks and browns -- turning brains into mush and then telling the owners of those brains that they are mushy-brained by nature.
Leftism is insidious.
