Haha.

I love this word!

Campus Reform:

Duke University Press announced on November 22 that they would be publishing “Circuits of the Sacred: A Faggotology in the Black Latinx Caribbean,” a book by Rutgers University women’s and gender studies professor Carlos Ulises Decena.

According to the book description on Amazon, Decena defines “faggotology” as “the erotic in the divine as found in the disreputable and the excessive” and “foundational to queer black critical and expressive praxis of the future.”

A 40 page preview of the work is available online, where the author provides “an introduction” to faggotology.

In the introduction, he describes his book as “a mystical bottoming” and “the work of a black Latinx writer and critic in dialogue with feminist and queer theology, black and Latinx radical critical theories, and Afro-Caribbean anthropology.”

Guy doesn’t look very black to me, but it might just be the light

Decena goes on to characterize himself as “the lowlife bitch narrator [who] steers in the direction of an openness that can produce ruptures—rajas that hurt but that might also hurt good, hurt hot enough to make you hard/wet: contradictions as we sit with the tingle, licking the cut or the sphincter that dilates as we press a finger or tongue or as we swallow and hold the shocks and thrusts of expressive puncture.”

The text features extensive graphic evocations of homosexual intercourse and makes liberal use of the word “faggot.”

Attempts are also made through the text to engage “Afro-Caribbean religions and liberation theologies from the vantage point of radical feminism and queer-of-color thinking.” Caribbean nations are overwhelmingly Christian, the author neglects to mention.

…

Others have responded positively to Decana’s work. Gina Athena Ulysse, Professor of Feminist Studies at University of California, Santa Cruz, for instance, called the work “a liturgy for the future, necessary praxis on this long path to liberation.”

What’s with these Carribeans giving their kids Greek names?

“Circuits of the Sacred: A Faggotology in the Black Latinx Caribbean” is scheduled to be released in March 2023. A hardcover copy can be pre-ordered for $94.95.

Reasonable price too!

Looks like a totally legit institution

Seriously, guy.

All us Nazis know which way the windmill of friendship spins.

Duke University students do too, apparently.

I think it’s really fucked up that Jews spraypainted their Star of David over that swastika.

Seriously though – how does anyone see a sloppily spraypainted swastika (even one in the correct direction) and not assume Jews did it, automatically?

Is it because NPC theory is real? 

Duke University is removing this statue of Robert E. Lee because of “values” lol.

Post-Charlottesville, there has been a rapid acceleration of Confederate monuments being removed.

Duke University has fallen right in line.

NBC News:

Duke University removed a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee early Saturday, days after it was vandalized amid a national debate about monuments to the Confederacy.

The university said it removed the carved limestone likeness early Saturday from Duke Chapel where it stood among 10 historical figures depicted in the entryway. Another statue of Lee was at the heart of a violent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, that turned deadly a week ago

University president Vincent Price said in a letter to the campus community that he consulted with faculty, staff, students and alumni about the decision to remove the statue. Officials discovered early Thursday that the statue’s face had been damaged by vandalism.

“I took this course of action to protect Duke Chapel, to ensure the vital safety of students and community members who worship there, and above all to express the deep and abiding values of our university,” Price said in the letter.

Duke University’s president Vincent Price is clearly unfit to hold this office. He has capitulated to Jewish and Marxist terrorists simply because someone vandalized a statue of Robert E. Lee. Removing a statue because of threats or vandalism is the most absurd response imaginable. You are just inviting more threats and more vandalism. But who knows, maybe that’s what this guy wants.

I’d also like to know what he means by these “deep and abiding values” that Duke University holds so dear. Apparently cowardice must be one of those values. Erasing history because of vandalism is not a virtuous trait by any stretch of the imagination.

The people vandalizing these monuments know nothing about the history of the figures they’re honoring. They don’t care to know either. They see a statue of a White male who lived in the 19th century and they automatically assume that he was an evil racist slave owner. The truth is always much more complicated than that but none of that matters to these people. They’re seeking to erase American history itself with this agenda. It’s no different than what ISIS has been doing in the Middle East.

Since these terrorists have lost on the ideological front, they are shifting their focus to a complete shut down by claiming everything about America is associated with racism, Nazism and White supremacy. Removing these Confederate monuments is just the first step. They won’t stop until everything relating to American history is destroyed.

Proving once again that everyone who criticizes Black culture is not only evil but also uneducated and inbred White trash living in a trailer, a Duke University professor is under fire for having criticized innocent and victimized Basketball Americans in the comments section of a New York Times article.

The piece entitled “How Racism Doomed Baltimore” was simply stating the accepted facts of how oppressed Blacks are in racist America and how all of their failures are 100% the fault of White people.

The Duke professor, who goes by the name of “Jerry Hough,” made the comments while connecting to the internet through dial-up from his trailer in Kentucky, where he lives with his wife, who is also his first cousin. Besides teaching at Duke, he uses the trailer to cook meth.

Sickeningly, the uneducated inbred redneck had the gall to compare Blacks to Asians, noting that Asians “didn’t feel sorry for themselves, but worked doubly hard.”

Here is the full comment:

This editorial is what is wrong. The Democrats are an alliance of Westchester and Harlem, of Montgomery County and intercity Baltimore. Westchester and Montgomery get a Citigroup asset stimulus policy that triples the market. The blacks get a decline in wages after inflation.

But the blacks get symbolic recognition in an utterly incompetent mayor who handled this so badly from beginning to end that her resignation would be demanded if she were white.The blacks get awful editorials like this that tell them to feel sorry for themselves.

In 1965 the Asians were discriminated against as least as badly as blacks. That was reflected in the word “colored.” The racism against what even Eleanor Roosevelt called the yellow races was at least as bad.

So where are the editorials that say racism doomed the Asian-Americans. They didn’t feel sorry for themselves, but worked doubly hard.

I am a professor at Duke University. Every Asian student has a very simple old American first name that symbolizes their desire for integration. Virtually every black has a strange new name that symbolizes their lack of desire for integration. The amount of Asian-white dating is enormous and so surely will be the intermarriage. Black-white dating is almost non-existemt because of the ostracism by blacks of anyone who dates a white.

It was appropriate that a Chinese design won the competition for the Martin Luther King state. King helped them overcome. The blacks followed Malcolm X.

Obviously, the stupid White trash hillbilly doesn’t understand that Whites are not as racist to Asians as they are to Blacks, as evidenced by the Black experience, and so the comparison means nothing. Even while seeming to follow obvious logic, Black to Asian comparisons fail to fully consider the effect of “microaggressions.”

Responding to an inquiry from The Charlotte Observer, Hough struggled to attempted to defend his own pure evil.

Hough did not agree to be interviewed, but late Friday he said in an email that his comments were misunderstood. He had been prompted to write about a May 9 editorial in the New York Times on the Baltimore riots and underlying factors of segregation and poverty. He said the editorial should have called for the mayor of Baltimore to resign, instead of blaming white racism.

“I don’t know if you will find anyone to agree with me,” he said in an email to The News & Observer. “Anyone who says anything is a racist and ignorant as I was called by a colleague. The question is whether you want to get involved in the harassment and few do. I am 80 and figure I can speak the truth as I see it. Ignorant I am not.”

“Not ignorant,” says the evil ignorant bastard. If he isn’t ignorant, than why is he so filled with hatred? Why does he want to oppress everyone who has a different color of skin?

Why does he want to commit a genocide using gas chambers against all who don’t look like him?

Is not the desire tot turn al “undesirables” into lampshades – as Hough indicated in his comment he desires to do – the epitome of “ignorance”?

He then pretended to not be filled with hatred by citing his own alleged totally and completely liberal and pro-Black past and present.

Hough said he was a disciple of Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1950s and voted for President Barack Obama. He pointed out that the first book he assigned to students in 1961 was “Black Like Me.” He further stated that one of the best students he ever taught was African American, and he had encouraged her to apply for a Rhodes Scholarship, but she pursued a career in athletics.

He said he’s working on a book on the 1960s social revolutions and that “I am very disappointed in the lack of progress” for African Americans.

“The point I was raising was why the Asians who were oppressed did so well and are integrating so well, and the blacks are not doing as well,” his email said. “The comments have convinced me to write a book which will add the Asians to all the research I did on blacks.”

He also admitted his comment in the New York Times was not expressed as well as he had intended: “There were typos in my outrage towards [the editorial] and I could have been more careful (though hard in the space limits).”

Ha! As if supporting nearly every mainstream position on Black oppression means he is allowed to deny Blacks the right to complain!

Thankfully, the world rallied against the evil trailer trash Duke University professor, condemning him for his hatred and refusal to accept the objective truth of the existence of microaggressions as the reason for all Black failure.

Mark Anthony Neal, a Duke professor of African and African American Studies, responded on his blog by pasting a screen shot of the comment, with this: “In the words of Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, microagressions = micro-nooses–Mark Anthony Neal.” Bonilla-Silva is a Duke sociology professor.

…

Duke spokesman Michael Schoenfeld distanced the university from the professor’s New York Times comments but also pointed out academic freedom provisions in Duke’s Faculty Handbook.

“The comments were noxious, offensive and have no place in civil discourse,” Schoenfeld wrote in an email. “Duke University has a deeply-held commitment to inclusiveness grounded in respect for all, and we encourage our community to speak out when they feel that those ideals are challenged or undermined, as they were in this case.”

He quoted from the Faculty Handbook, which says every faculty member has the right “to act and to speak in his or her capacity as a citizen without institutional censorship or discipline.”

Schoenfeld said he couldn’t comment on personnel matters, but added, “we take issues like this seriously and will use the opportunity to restate Duke’s core values of diversity and tolerance.”

Voices of reason, at least.

This Black gentleman and his Jewish comrade (documented Jewishness here) have really added a bit of reason to a situation that was completely and totally out of control, what with some evil White man going so far as to suggest that Blacks and Asians can be compared in any way.

It makes me so angry when I see White men trying to oppress and do racism on innocent victims, so we all have to thank heaven there are Blacks and Jews around to correct these evils.

Feel free to get on Twitter and thank Mark Anthony Neal (@NewBlackMan) and Michael Schoenfeld (@Mike_Schoenfeld) for all they have done for humanity by fighting racism.

Crystal Mangum, most widely known as the woman who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape, is appealing her conviction of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of her boyfriend.

In a Dec. 29 court filing, a lawyer for Mangum says the judge should not have allowed the jury to hear evidence about a February 2010 attack on another man, claiming it tainted the trial. Attorney Ann Petersen is asking the court to reverse the conviction and allow her client to have a new trial.

Mangum claims the April 2011 stabbing of her boyfriend, 46-year-old Reginald Daye, was a case of self-defense, saying Daye was beating her in a jealous rage when she grabbed a knife and “poked him in the side.” Daye died 10 days later of complications at Duke University Hospital.

A seven-man, five-woman jury found Mangum, 34, guilty of second-degree murder on Nov. 22, 2013. Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway sentenced her to nearly 18 years in prison.

Mangum made national headlines in March 2006 when she claimed that three players on the Duke lacrosse team trapped her inside a bathroom when she was performing as a stripper at a team party and raped and sexually assaulted her.

Her story about the incident was so inconsistent that Attorney General Roy Cooper later declared the players innocent, saying there was no credible evidence against them.

Because the great statesman Charles B. Aycock thought black people should be separate when everyone in the country thought that same exact thing, Duke University has made the decision to shut him down.

Washington Post:

Duke University is removing the name of white supremacist leader and former North Carolina governor Charles B. Aycock from an undergraduate dorm, which will now be known as East Residence Hall.

Aycock, who served as governor from 1901 to 1905, has had his name affixed to the building for more than 100 years. But that is coming to an end after the university’s Board of Trustees voted to revert the building to its original name, East Residence Hall, after petitions from the student body urged the school to re-evaluate the former governor’s legacy.

“Today, 50 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and at the conclusion of a commemoration of integration at Duke, the values of inclusion and nondiscrimination are key parts of the university’s mission,” Duke President Richard H. Brodhead wrote in a letter to student body leaders Monday. “After careful consideration, we believe it is no longer appropriate to honor a figure who played so active a role in the history that countered those values.”

In the late 1890s, Aycock was a leading spokesman for the Democratic Party’s white supremacist activities in the state. He was a part of a campaign of fear and intimidation that sought to forcefully suppress the black vote and sow racial distrust.

This sets a dangerous and weird precedent. “Racism” was a minor part of the legacy of Aycock. And he was racist at a time when everyone else was. There is no way they can shut down Aycock as a “White Supremacist,” and not do the same to all of our Founding Fathers, because they all were obviously racists.

So, is this the plan? To shut down all of the Founding Fathers, in pursuit of this weird moral revisionist agenda?

What will remain of our nation, after we have shut down our roots completely?
