INSUFFICIENT NEGRITUDE:

Self-Hatred at Harvard (Margaret Kimberly, The Black Commentator)

Nothing can ruin a Sunday morning like a New York Times magazine article with a dubious title such as, Toward a Unified Theory of Black America. The alarm bells are immediate because the Times loves to give attention to black people who are either in jail or on welfare or who have impeccable credentials but who are horribly confused.

Roland Fryer is in the latter category. He is a 27-year old assistant professor of economics at Harvard. His ideas explain why economics is called the dismal science. The word dismal doesn’t begin to describe the damage to black people that Fryer and his ilk can cause.

Dissent from Mau-Mauism must not be tolerated.
