The Empty Black Suit( Are Black Students In US Universities Intelligent?) by PopeXanderVII: 8:02am On Dec 15, 2013 |
I Recently read an Article online. Its main premise was that Smart Black Students in US Universities are merely pretending to be Smart and that in actuality, it is all a Facade. It states that these Students use big words and Dress Smart. Although they're not Smart. These Caucasians make me Laugh. A black man stays at home and collects Welfare and they call him a Thug, a Black Man goes to university and they call him a Fake who only got in through Affirmative Action. The Article has been making Rounds on Racist websites. I'll Post the Article. |

Pope Xander VII: The empty black suit |

Pope Xander VII: [b]What can paper over this deficiency is that many black students master the outward signs of "being smart." This is traditional outsider adaptive behavior, regardless of ethnic/racial backgrounds, and is reflected in phrases such as "passing" or "fitting in." For those with above average intelligence, a keen eye plus a gift for mimicry is often sufficient to play imposter. Familiar academic tools include learning fancy words like "paradigmatic" adroit name-dropping, affecting the professorial sartorial style (e.g., a tweed jacket, blue Oxford shirt), certain verbal mannerisms, even a sprinkling of Yiddish in some venues. A PowerPoint presentation with multiple equations bedazzles. A few Black Panthers once pulled off this deception by tossing around a little Marxism. This is no different from a competent actor with a few weeks of observation plus some props convincing an audience that he is a business tycoon though the real tycoon would sense the charade. |

Pope Xander VII: [b]My impression is that it is often even easier to fool so-called conservatives. These folk are always suspected of racism, and when they find that seeming stellar African American intellectual, the fawning can be embarrassing. This, they hope, will convince the world that they are not racists, and they may even exaggerate the imposter's abilities--a mediocrity becomes brilliant. Needless to say, these highly presentable intellectual lightweights are often sufficiently savvy to exploit conservatives anxious to demonstrate their anti-racist bona fides. |

What a racist scum bag. Worst piece of trash on this earth. That is why it's important for your own country to be strong and not westernised, so that you always have something to fall back on. |

Fulaman198: What a racist scum bag. Worst piece of trash on this earth. That is why it's important for your own country to be strong and not westernised, so that you always have something to fall back on.True talk, when you use someone's benchmark/standard to leverage just know you would never match or surpass it, because they would keep on respecting their ideas and raising the bar to their taste while your efforts keep being negligible. I dont blame them at all, truth be said how many times have you seen black engineers building/constructing in Africa, its always whites who are the expatriates and you begin to wonder on the number of African/Americans in diaspora are they not matching up? |

The black man is seriously underestimated. Black man gets to top of his field =Affirmative Action. (Racist non-black's mind ). I guess Kanye was right when he said, "even if you're in a Benz, you're still a N!gger". That's the mindset of the racist ones. |

Pope Xander VII: The black man is seriously underestimated. If you are driving a Mercedes, they automatically think you afforded one with drug dealer money. That is how a bigoted mindset works. |
