White, 80-Year-Old Duke University Professor Jerry Hough is Victim of Racist Terror Campaign by His Own Campus, Media
James B. Duke Professor of Political Science Jerry Hough, a life-long racial liberal who voted for Barack Obama, had the temerity to challenge, in an eloquent reader comment, a New York Times racial fairy tale which had blamed whites for the racist black riots which rocked Baltimore for as many as five days in late April and early May (the MSM and the city, both of whom supported the rioters, refused to provide accurate information on the riots’ duration).
The Times editorial went so far as to cite black pundit Ta-Nehisi Coates as a moral and intellectual authority. [How Racism Doomed Baltimore by the Editorial Board, New York Times, May 9, 2015.]
Commented Prof. Hough:
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-existent 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 [sic]. King helped them overcome. The blacks followed Malcolm X.[Permalink]
Hough was immediately vilified by Duke’s administration, students and faculty, and local MSM outlets who stoked the fires of hatred against him, but refused to quote anyone defending him, or to quote from, or so much as link to the Times editorial. [Duke professor responds to criticism about his comments on African Americans by Jane Stancill, News & Observer, May 16, 2015.]
The local Fox affiliate went so far as to claim Hough had been put on leave following his comments, when in fact he had been on leave all year to write a book on America’s founding. ...
