Uncle Ruckus goes in on Mizzou students, football players and damn near everyone in spitting distance....Oh, and he still has Ta-Nehisi Coates in his mouth...He makes a few interesting points (such as the connection between mass incarceration and horrific violence in concentrated, economically deprived 'hoods like in the Chi....) But he trying too hard for MASSA on this one......The Daily Caller, Rush and the usual suspects have been eating this blog up....lol

Crying Wolfe Exposes Real Problem

By Jason Whitlock

Chicago buried nine-year-old Tyshawn Lee on Tuesday. Police allege gang members lured the boy into an alley and executed him in a revenge killing aimed at his father.

Father Michael Pfleger, a white minister in a predominantly black Chicago community, eulogized Lee and castigated our society, blaming the boy’s death on our “lost conscience.”

How can we argue?

The execution of an innocent black boy draws the attention of a handful of local dignitaries while the death of a black teenager foolish enough to wrestle a cop for control of a gun helps foment unrest on a nearby college campus seven months after then-attorney general Eric Holder destroyed the fallacy of “Hands Up Don’t Shoot.”

Lies stacked on top of lies create the bullshit we’re witnessing in Columbia, Missouri. Clever faculty members, in my opinion, baited a small group of misguided black students into stirring a racial shitstorm strong enough to attract Twitter-addicted journalists looking for their next relevancy hit off the Black Lives Matter crack pipe.

The absurdity of the past week at Mizzou couldn’t be duplicated on South Park.

A 25-year-old, “Fresh Prince” black grad student threatened to starve himself to death under the pretense that the school president hadn’t done enough to stop unidentified white men from uttering the N-word when passing by in trucks and carving swastikas with poop.

The white liberal, Ta-Nehisi Coates-quoting mafia declared Mizzou an unsafe space and a hostile killing field for blacks and opened their media platforms to any person willing to share a story about hearing the N-word while in Columbia the past 50 years.

“Cry Wolfe!” is how this entire episode should be remembered. Liberal academics talked black kids into crying wolf over racially tinged rude behavior so an unpopular president would be unseated.

Adult professors who should be educating kids on the continuing damage of institutional racism, instead built a human shield around a tent city set up to host the starvation of an N-word fighter disguised as a freedom fighter.

A redneck showing his ass with verbal garbage while driving a truck isn’t racism. It’s a redneck showing his ass. Racism is a system of exploitation rooted in race. The NCAA amateurism charade is a solid example. Walter Byers, the white conservative modern architect of the NCAA, described the system he created this way in his 1997 memoir:

“Today the NCAA Presidents Commission is preoccupied with tightening a few loose bolts in a worn machine, firmly committed to the neo-plantation belief that the enormous proceeds from the college games belong to the overseers (administrators) and supervisors (coaches). The plantation workers performing in the arena may only receive those benefits authorized by the overseers.”

You’d think if the Missouri football players were going to strike, they’d choose NCAA amateurism as their cause, not the homecoming king’s hurt feelings. And you’d think if the son of a millionaire was going to threaten to end his life over an injustice, he’d choose an inspiration more heart-wrenching than a poop-stained Nazi symbol.

Why not choose Tyshawn Lee?

Ask one of those liberal academics to explain the connection between mass incarceration and gang violence. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. The ruthless, gang-related execution of a black child is a direct outgrowth of mass incarceration and its corrosive impact on morality, decency and humanity.

Concerned Student 1950 needs to ask Mizzou’s liberal academics to carry them to Tyshawn Lee’s neighborhood and create a safe space there. Seriously. Assimilated, spoiled black kids showing up on modern college campuses and pretending they’re standing on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965 is f—ing embarrassing. What’s worse is assimilated, spoiled black journalists selling the righteousness of their cause.

Columbia ain’t our problem. Chicago is.

This quad is not the place in most need of a safe space.

That’s not a statement vouching for the purity of Columbia. It’s rational, mature acknowledgment that there are not, never have been and never will be any safe spaces on earth free of rude, uncomfortable behavior by humans. We’re flawed. We do dumb shit.

The appropriate questions for the kids, the journalists and their white, liberal enablers/manipulators are: 1) Which area is more in need of a safe space, Mizzou’s campus or Lee’s neighborhood? 2) Why are liberals pouring the most energy and passion into policing the safest space? 3) Why have those same liberals declared war on the very people and profession (police) they call at the first sign of trouble in the most unsafe space?

It’s all enough to make you think they don’t really have the best interest of black folk in mind. Let me remind you again: In general, African-Americans are the most religious people in America. We are traditionally conservative, which does not mean Republican. The black church, where Father Pfleger serves, has always looked first to create safe spaces where black people live.

I’m not evangelizing. I’m trying to show you who’s on your Day 1 team and who’s driving a limousine offering rides to tokens willing to be used as pawns.

I’m also trying to avoid ridiculing millennials. Whatever their shortcomings are, they’re a reflection of previous generations’ failures. We turned the education of our best and brightest kids over to predominantly white schools. We allowed them to abandon the black church. It’s not difficult to understand why they can’t distinguish between rude behavior and racism.

Liberal elites define racism as “code words” and “dog whistles” and the utterance of the N-word by white people. They reduced racism to a language. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall and our Greatest Generation defined racism as laws and policy.

Teach that in your home, at your church and at school and there won’t be another smokescreen, racial circus the next time faculty decide to overthrow a high-ranking administrator. I’d suggest the media teach it, too, but I can’t reduce the message to a 140-character tweet.

Three points

1)Lolz in the black twitter age that Disney/ESPN being so out of touch that they wanted this nigga to make a new Grantland for black voices. Even if he could have gotten his shit together it would have been an epic fail...but maybe they did want a black troll site?


2)With that 'white liberal coates' jab Its interesting how many of the old guard of black intellectualism (im not talking about whitlock, he cant shine any of their shoes) are throwing darts at Coates. Considering at the end of the day their politics and his align 90% of the time it just seems petty careerism on their end which shows how far they have fallen from their roots. Hi Bell Hooks.


Onto this bitch ass nigga thats the topic of this thread.

My beef with his writing is its classic 'national review' hip-conservatism dressed up in sheeps clothing


1)Lay down conservative agenda, but from a compassionate angle to not seem so harsh
2)Acknowledges the other side to seem nuanced, even agree with a point or two
3)STRAWMAN THE SHIT OUT OF THE REST LIKE THE REST OF THE LOONS

When I read that his manfiesto for black grantland was to also look at sports as a way to bring race together since there's (paraphrased) "black players, white players, playing together, no racism!" with him totally missing the irony of how the team/owner structure is literally racism played out in 3D..I was through.

My fav zinger:

“Is it a letter to your son…or is it a letter to white people so you can let them know that you aren’t like those other trifling negros that don’t have shit to say to their son”

It seemed her anger was more "Stalking outside of the WWE wrestling ring ready to run in with the folding chair" then valid hate..seems she aint like how the internets went in on Cornell West when he threw darts towards Coates way

kind of fawning treatment from the white liberal establishment in a long time. Maybe Fred Douglass was the last.

I think TNC's rise is blowing alot of people's minds, especially alot of the older types.

and that's what they're so keen to over look.
And what is TNC's fundamental message to this point? Reparations. And they're so quick to shut him out. Instead of inviting the brother in, welcoming him to the community, talking to him about how he didn't address gender enough in his book (or trying to help him develop in whatever way the see him lacking) they just throw the baby out with the bath water so to speak.

It leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

He kind of has that in common with Obama, in fact. He got his national voice through the Atlantic, so he's got the white Left's attention, and he has a pretty deep following among the B/black educated/professional/activist classes. And he did it all without having to go through The Root, or Jesse or the NAACP, etc. Just like Barry.

Sidenote: from my years of reading his blog, TNC has never been that interested in gender. The few times it ever would come up, he'd just parrot off Feminism 101, but he'd do it without any kind of passion. I get the impression he'd rather not have to touch on any of that at all, but a relatively young, big time Liberal writer whose wheelhouse is race *HAS* to deal with gender too, from time to time. His next work will probably touch on it some more, but again, sans the enthusiasm he approaches race with.

Like I said, help him develop in ways you see him as deficient instead of basically calling him a tom. As far as the gender stuff, yeah it's lacking, but I kinda liked how he addressed it in BTWAM. He basically said 'black women will have to worry about all this in ways you'll never know.' And that's what I think he's perspective is... "I don't experience gender from a oppressed position, so I can't speak on that too much." And I'm not using the to excuse his lack of attention to gender, but in a way it shows how someone like bell hooks could HELP the brother out instead of talking shit.

what's his blog, btw?

He's been way less active for the last 3 years, or so. He used to put up 3 - 5 posts a day, back in the late 2000's. But as he's gotten busier, he posts maybe once or twice a month, now.

In response to Reply # 13


  

          

He mentioned that some of his own sociological theory is built upon feminist of color theories.

https://soundcloud.com/anotherroundwithhebenandtracy/episode-29-whats-on-your-reparations-tab

Listen to this podcast starting at 18:38 - 21:00.

But as to why he doesn't choose to tackle feminist issues within society and specifically black women; maybe he thinks his theories simply aren't good enough.

Heben does offer some thoughtful critiques as to how to improve his works.

also one things folks forget is the person TNC is compared to so often, James Baldwin, himself was kept at a distance and harshly critiqued by the vanguard of his time. But time has proven him to be one of the most prescient of voices

hooks has been the white liberal darling for decades and she's been subject to some pretty nasty criticism from other black intelligentsia in her time too so you'd think she'd be more empathetic.

interest in gender, so she's not really inclined to give a crap about him. She's very much a polemicist (see: tone-deafly calling Beyonce a terrorist two weeks after Boko Haram kidnapped 200 girls in Nigeria.)

She does ride for alot of the younger Black feminists, though, like MHP and Salamisheh Tillet.

1. i can't with bell hooks for near a decade. she just pops off in ways that loves the sound of her own voice and is obsessively self-referential.

2. i find most of the attacks on Coates rooted in that fact that he doesn't pander to the Black church / is an atheist, or that he doesn't espouse the ideas of forgiveness and hope.

I doubt you will find many black people not distraught at tyshawn lees death.

And can simultaneously advocate for their schools to stop using their tuition to invest in for profit prison stock for example.


does it really matter?

wonder what bin's doing?

w/the community's response to *insert 'Black-on-Black' crime here*.

this is somewhat unrelated but i'm especially disappointed in Spike going that route in his Chi-raq press tour. b/c he's met and worked w/ppl and orgs here in Chicago who are making noise about and working on the violence problem in the hood(s) here in Chicago. so for him to even hint that we're improperly concerned w/police brutality when we should instead also work on address our 'internal' violence problem is disingenuous. he should know fairly well how much work is being done here to address the 'internal' problems.

fuck you.

I am real enough to recognize that I'm not their intended audience (I think they both write for themselves, white people, & a certain type of Black guy), BUT I like too much stuff that erases/obscures/shits on my worldview. Soooo, I think I'm just not a fan of how they form sentences or w/e lol.

Also, if 1 were to compare JW & THC...I bet there is A LOT of overlap in audience (in terms of viewer & readership). JW reading TNC is essentially him reading himself, too weird lol.

of Black conservatives/repubs that agree w/ TNC...they're just (mostly) not famous.
The same can be said for JW, White liberals fuck w/ his work too.

Full disclosure, I find the TNC writings I've read/engaged w/ to be conservatively liberal & JW's to be liberally conservative.

TNC and JW take extremely different views on the prisons, schools, black on black crime, the role of the church, and reparations for example

white conservatives give JW work because he expresses a Black pov in line with their own

TNC's Reparations essay gave Fox news a coronary

just say you don't like the style of writing. JW dresses his bullshit in "hip hop vernacular", TNC writes elegant punishing mutant king's english. please dont do this

& MSNBC being team TNC. Like, I guess TNC has the good white folks praise & the bad white folks pressed sooo points??

Yes, true...you're correct.

>white conservatives give JW work because he expresses a Black
>pov in line with their own

Cool lefty white liberals & their news outlets, etc. give TNC work b/c he (as you put it) eloquently expresses a Black pov in line w/ their own. White gaze is just gonna be a thing Black people deal w/ b/c well white supremacy is a thing.


>TNC's Reparations essay gave Fox news a coronary
>

It did??...Points for TNC then lol. The reaction of angry racist bigoted news orgs aside, I saw a lot of thoughtful engagement w/ that piece.

>just say you don't like the style of writing.

I did. I am a sucker for style BUT I read too many dry ass, unnecessarily verbose scholarly articles to front on okp lol. The willful ignorance & erasure in TNC & JW writings are my biggest problems w/ their stuff. Also, they don't engage thoughtfully w/ critiques from Black people (particularly the women/queer folks).

JW dresses his
>bullshit in "hip hop vernacular", TNC writes elegant punishing
>mutant king's english. please dont do this

LoL, that's the thing for me...neither one does a particularly good job of addressing the bullshit. TNC is certainly less of a turd in his prose & politics tho. Is that what your reply is getting at, JW being more of a turd??...b/c like, duh @ that factoid lol.

But I don't see this "unparalleled adulation like never seen before" anywhere



Its basically the academic version of the 'America's favorite, but 'they'll have a new n*gga next year' revolving door

While yes, there are people working on inner city violence and issues, this letter is addressed to the college students protesting.

I just don't think being called nigger by a drunk cracker is something worthy of this level of protest and changing the president will not change that situation.

There is just something inherently uncomfortable about being a minority at an institution. I doubt that will change, but it isn't enough to stop you from achieving your dreams.

Plus I'd rather white racists wave the flag and call me nigger, that way I won't be fooled into to falsely thinking they like me.

If your are going to protest, protest police brutality, protest economic inequality, protest violence, protest bad schools in the inner city

Yeah you can do both but i just don't think that given the gravity of the real issues people are facing, that a hunger strike over being called a nigger by a random cracker should take priority.

Just call him a racist cracker mother fucker and get your degree so you can help the kids in the hood. Because really the only way he can hurt you is if he distracts you from getting that degree.

but I could be wrong.

dude

i'm just doubtful that changing the president will stop random people from calling people nigger or change hearts, so i'd prefer to reserve the big guns (hunger strike and football protest) for more tangible issues.

In response to Reply # 29


  

          

Nah. These ARE big issues.

Of course the President cant stop racism, but the kanye shrug response is the REAL problem.

Reason niggas couldnt drink from the same water fountains for 200 years wasnt because of the KKK or virulent racists, its because the rest of white america couldnt be bothered to care to change the status quo until their guilt took over after years of watching black people get dogs sic'ed on them in television.

His apathy towards these causes is why systemic racism is so prevalent today.

Remember, these are college kids we are talking about. They are paying xxx amount of tution, football players literally sacrificing their bodies for the school and when they go the administration they couldnt even muster up fake lip service?

And lets not forget how many people go to college and become activists there, for him to be like their complaining about campus issues, something they pay for, is bullshit. Same for the idea they cant multitask and fight racism on campus and be active in fighting black on black crime at home.

41. "yes. not about the culture of the campus, cost, and the pres"
In response to Reply # 28


  

          

cutting health care for grad students

that pres had gotten repeated complaints from students for two years about threats on their lives and not feeling safe. he didn't address one

students where also organizing around the rising tuition cost, while many of the departments kept functioning with fewer staff and less resources for over a year (common on most campuses)

this finally made national news 'cause the Football team joined in with the other students, and that means money

but the media made this about "enwurd"

so, yeah
