I hear you. Honestly, the miseducation starts at home, I know that can be a bit much, however I am 62 years old and originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma (Black Wall Street), my mother and relatives told me about "Black Wall Street" when I was in elementary school. Also, our school systems nationwide is a disgrace when it comes to teaching history. I live in New York City (Just as racist as the South, but on a different level), our hideous gov. cuomo during the covid19 pandemic had/has police officers guarding columbus statue at columbus circle. We all know about christopher columbus, New York City has the largest parade in the entire world on columbus day in october. Last, but not least, cuomo stated on news MSNBC & CNN and anyone else who was covering him during the pandemic that the statue (christopher columbus), will not be removed, it is part of his heritage (italian). Funny how he can scold the south, when New York City is no better.

@@unclesam8174 Is it sicking because it not true, overstated or it does not affect you so the people should just find ways to overcome it? Because it appears that she chose to not continue to fight it, she decided to go somewhere else. What whole new definition of racism are they writing? Its funny how you mention food and roads. When you know there have been roads and food that African Americans could not freely go on or eat in our history. Travon Martin experienced that before his death. Someone saw him and felt he had to be doing something wrong because he felt he did not belong there. My father has a master's degree and we moved into a new a nice majority-white neighborhood in the '90s and I was pulled over a number of times and neighbors tried to stop me and ask me questions and all I was trying to make it home.

I don't understand what the fuss is about? She got offered a job, turns it down, and goes to a different university. I'm all for people negotiating themselves, but damn people out here aren't getting jobs in higher ed with PhDs. Just because everyone who was offered the position and was white got tenure is really not enough to prove discrimination in a case. Were any other African American candidates not offered the job or were offered the job before her? How does she know? How does something so trivial like this gain national news in a time when so many horrible things are happening. I'm really not impressed by her pitty party crying over spilled milk. You got the a JOB and it seems you got it where you wanted. SUCK IT UP.

Her work is Exemplary! To bring her literal wealth on board to any establishment is a great benefit to that entity and everyone it serves. UNC Chapel is showing their level of foolishness and racism, so she doesn't belong there. She is too valuable to be stifled in such a place. I wish her ALL THE BLESSINGS HER SPIRIT CAN HOLD! The 1619 Project is OUTSTANDING!!! I am so proud of her KNOWING and STANDING in her POWER and not fold on her WORTH!

Walk away from things and people that do not serve your highest good!

Unis are 100% ideological, but humanities still teach you a lot of important critical thinking you won't really get a chance to develop elsewhere in your life. Questioning the status quo is historically what the Left does, questioning some parts but making sure not to go too far is what liberals do (after all, these are elite institutions), making lazy excuses for the status quo is what the right does the Left is marginalized for asking too many questions, so academia leans liberal. It doesn't and never will lean Right because the Right has almost nothing insightful to say about society and the world
