The prospects for peace in the Middle East might have improved if the president had brought a six-pack to the Saudi monarch. perhaps someone in the state dept objected about whatever it is that tastes so bitter even in the finest brews, and the project was cancelled at the last minute?

Um, Celt? I was kidding.

If you want a current example of injustice in America, let’s talk about the Chicago Sun Times series last fall about ongoing physical abuse of students in the Chicago Public School. None one in the national press cared. No one called then CEO of the school system Arne Duncan a racist or even a hypocrite. They applauded when Obama named him Secretary of Education.

Then there is the earlier example of how Obama and his buddy Bill Ayers used grant money meant to help improve academic performamce to promote a system of community school boards that placed the race of principals over competence and the ability to maintain discipline in the schools.

The biggest remaining racial issue in America is how black academic achievement has declined despite the large fortune thrown at the public school system. Maybe, just maybe, the crap being pushed by Afrocentrists like Gates and so call educators like Duncan and Ayers has something to do with thsi decline.

Fortunately for Cockburn, collectivist thinking never lost its appeal among our intellectual “elites” and so he still has a job.

Really, are you saying Crowley – a man who has taught classes on racial profiling and has been universally praised by his colleagues, including *ahem* “persons of color,” – needs to be lectured to by Gates? Should Crowley run laps around a cotton field in Alabama to pay for sins he did not commit?

Your analogy is so stupid I can only assume you teach at an Ivy League university.
