If we expect America to survive at a nation<\/a>, we had better take a long look at what our children<\/a> are being taught in college and begin to change it. As a nation, we send our future leaders to college in the hope that they will learn critical thinking and leadership skills<\/a> that will preserve us as a nation. We also hope that they will begin to understand the foundations of our nation. The obvious foundations are freedom, right to private property, free speech, etc. The more subtle foundation of our nation is the family. An intact family unit protects our children as they grow up and builds the foundation of leadership for the next generation. Unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way.<\/p>\n

Fox News<\/a> posted an article today about a City University of New York<\/a> sociology professor,\u00a0Jessie Daniels, who posted the following on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There was a time in America that starting a family and wanting the best for your children was seen as a virtue. Wanting the best for your children meant encouraging them to work hard in school, learn a marketable skill, and if possible, continue their education. It is unfortunate that those goals are now considered ‘white supremacy<\/a>.’ Those goals are attainable by any American<\/a> of any race–ask Ben Carson<\/a> about his background. If every young American accepted the goal of doing well in school, learning a marketable skill, waiting until after high school to get married, and waiting until marriage to have children, the poverty rate in America would be almost non-existent.<\/p>\n

The Professor continues:<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil white people<\/a> are ready to confront their own family’s racism (and) participation in systemic white supremacy, it’s not getting dismantled,\u201d she wrote. \u201cBeyond just calling out interpersonal racism, white people who want to be engaged in the work need to ask themselves about housing wealth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWhite people: do you own your home? When you die, where’s wealth in that house going? If it’s to your children, you’re reproducing (inequality).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I understand her correctly, success=racism. Is she saying that people who are not white cannot be successful? I would encourage her to look at the number of non-while immigrants to America who have come here in the past fifty years or so and started businesses and become successful. Maybe the problem isn’t the color of a person’s skin, maybe its the attitude and unwillingness to try to succeed that makes the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
