This ignorant crack goes to show that many blacks can be as racist against other blacks as any other group.
I'm sure if the saying had been by anyone else, there would be tons more anger and outburst...Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and all the other prominent figures in the black community would be calling for a termination of this professor's job..
And this is coming from me, a black woman....
This irrelevant professor really should shut her trap and realize the ignorance and racism of her statement.
The woman's being dark-complected or of African descent has nothing to do with this; she is a sheltered, left-leaning academic who has little or no idea what daily life is like for the millions of Americans, of all backgrounds, who sustain themselves by running small enterprises, or supplement regular employment with that activity. To her, and to the young people she poisons with her venom, we're all "Teabaggers", "right-wingers" and, if of Caucasian descent, "rednecks".
And while she pontificates from her insulated position in academia, we're the ones who keep things running. We don't identify with the "one percent" she demonizes (and are actually more like a three-to-five percent whose income varies from year to year), but a lot of us understand that the promise of "security" offered by both "professional indolence" and Korporate Fascism is a trap -- a rut that becomes a grave.
Our nation was founded by people escaping the stagnation of the "enlightened" Europe she and so many of her ilk venerate (and which has a pretty nasty record whenever some ideologue -- the kind the professor is likely to idolize -- finds some "fall guys" and lets things get out of hand).
And we recognize that some people were brought here in slave ships, but a few of them caught on pretty nicely once they learned the rules of the game. Ben Carson was one of these; so is the gent who came back from the military twenty years ago and opened a business in a minority neighborhood.
You can't kill that portion of the human spirit based on rebellion and questioning of undeserved authority and power, and for every dead weight like the professor, there are plenty of students who see through the drivel she's selling. But she does embody the single greatest threat to our heritage which has re-emerged from the gutters since America briefly turned away from Big Brother / Sister some thirty-five years ago.

I get tickled when I see the lunatic fringe division of conservatives fake raging over racism. In your mind, white-on-black racism does not exist at all, but black-on-black racism does? Really?
Query: can one person be subjected to racism from another person of the same race? By definition, I don't think so. Nationality or ethnicity, yes.
Anyone catch right wing nut Robert Murdoch's view of Carson vs Obama......tweeted something yesterday concerning which of the two was a "real Black".....makes you wonder what Murdock tells his cable TV news channel to from behind closed doors about the Black race.
What is absolutely hilarious here is that a WHITE guy wrote a blog piece stating how coon isn't racist towards blacks and the LeftNuts are in agreement with what a WHITE MAN'S opinion about what is racist towards blacks or not. If that was a conservative white this thread would have a thousand pages full of howling about how a white person has no idea what is racist towards blacks or not.

Then why are conservatives, who generally hold a different view of things from that enjoyed by liberals,
called 'racist' when they express that differing view?
Enter Ben Carson, a black conservative, and the mainstream media along with a host of liberal pundits who imagine themselves being of utmost importance, gang up on him -- many of them are black.
Ideology has no color. Or does it in some people's eyes?
