’)Wow. Just… wow.
“These sorts of things are going to upset people, but the truth can be very upsetting,” said Brookland-Cayce High School teacher Winston McCuen.
That truth, at least according to McCuen, is that black people are inferior to whites.
“Intellectually, yes they are,” said McCuen. “This has been confirmed over and over, and this is a generalization. Again, there are some blacks who are more intelligent than individual whites. But as a rule, that is true. I-Q tests prove it over, and over and over.”
News19’s J.R. Berry asked McCuen, “Do you think slavery in America was a good thing? “Yes,” said McCuen. “In America there was a rational assessment saying listen, if we give these people freedom right as they are and you have to go back to see how they were, you can’t assume they were like us.
J.R. asked, “How were they?” “They were coming out of the jungles,” said McCuen. “They had been enslaving each other for centuries in Africa, and in terms of being used to rule of law, they knew none of that.”
I’m waiting for cable news to make as much noise about this guy as the teacher who (wrongly) went on an anti-Bush rant during his class.
A high school teacher says slavery was a good thing.
WHAT THE HELL, SOUTH CAROLINA?
One teacher of all the teachers in the United States says racist things in the open and suddenly it’s a symbol? And guess what Factcheck? Just because the guy is racist, doesn’t mean he’s a right winger.
What the hell is with you people that makes you think that the only people who are racist, use the word ‘nigger’ and think blacks are inferior to whites are all conservatives?
Yes Virginia, there are a LOT of racist Democrats and left wingers.
This kind of thing is dangerous, because it is a symbol. A symbol that the Right-wing racists aren’t afraid to come out of the closet anymore.
Years ago, this ass would have had the sense to keep his racism to himself, but emboldened by wingnuts in power, and things like the amped up anti-immigrant sentiments, he no longer has any fear of coming out as a racist in a public setting.
They no longer believe that they will be shunned by normal society.
I’ll sit back, I’m waiting for David Horowitz to condemn this in-class projection of his radical political beliefs.
” Just because the guy is racist, doesn t mean he s a right winger.”
Ya, tell me this guy voted for Kerry or Kucinich.
Remember when Instapundit and Drudge elevated Ward Churchill to the status of America’s Most Influential Liberal? No doubt Jay C was pissed off then, too.
No doubt there are plenty of racists among the Democrats. It’s just a lot easier to be a racist in the GOP than in the Democratic Party, though. And most easy of all is to be racist conservative. LOOK! A WELFARE MOM! LOOK! “CRIME!”
Frame, I’ll invite you over to my in-laws home one day when a bunch of people are there. You can listen to them bash President Bush like there is no tomorrow. You can listen to them brag about how they aren’t responsible for the mess we have in this country because they voted for John Kerry.
And then you can listen to a good number of them talk about how blacks are dregs of society and how they will never amount to anything. The word ‘nigger’ is used commonly. My nephew is going to be a cop in Gainesville. Know what he said? “I can’t wait for the first time I get to pull over a black guy and he mouths off to me.” I got into a very heated argument when the word ‘nigger’ was used in MY home. My kids are not being raised that way and I won’t hear that word in my house. There’s no way in hell I am going to allow my kids to be raised in the same manner my nephews and in-laws have been raised.
They are originally from the northeast, and I can tell you that this attitude is indicative of a LOT of Democrats up there. And you people truly have your heads up your collective asses if you truly think that such racist talk by Democratic voters is rare. It’s common. Very common.
The bottom line is, condemn what the man said because of WHAT HE SAID. Stop trying to make it a freaking political conservative/liberal issue.
One teacher of all the teachers in the United States says racist things in the open and suddenly it s a symbol?
But if one teacher of all the teachers in the United States criticizes the President, he’s helping the enemy, right?
If it ain’t right for one, it shouldn’t be right for the other.
The bottom line is, condemn what the man said because of WHAT HE SAID. Stop trying to make it a freaking political conservative/liberal issue.
I agree with Jay on this.
“leftist icon Churchill”
And thus, Dugger proves himself a liar.
The guy is an idiot and I hope he gets condemned loudly and openly. However, it sounds like too much to me. I wonder if this is on the up and up. Even an idiot racist would be smart enough to keep his opinions out of the public arena. Provocateur?
BTW, Ward Churchill was upported by the faculty an dis till nhonmored in may left wing circles. So this incident, as odious as it seems, does not come close to leftist icon Churchill.
Dugger
“Ward Churchill has emerged over the past decade as one of the strongest and most influential voices of native resistence in North America, according to the Bloomsbury Review and Publishers Weekly. bell hooks has described Churchill as a leading insurgent intellectual. From a Native Son is the capstone collection of his most important and unflinching essays during this period, exploring the themes of genocide in the Americas, historical/legal (re)interpretation of the processes of conquest and colonization, literary/cinematic criticism, and the positing of indigenist alternatives to the status quo, for which he has become increasingly well-known.
With this collection, Ward Churchill, an activist and an intellectual, carves out a unique position for himself as one of the most outspoken advocates of indigenous peoples. This disturbing and compelling work contains illuminating insights and provides a much-needed antidote to pervasive ignorance on Native American issues. From a Native Son, in its scope and courage, never fails to startle with the impact of quiet truths, passionately felt and powerfully expressed. It will be a rare find for new readers and a treasure to old admirers. ”
Find me similar praise of this obscure idiot teacher.
“So this incident, as odious as it seems, does not come close to leftist icon Churchill.”
Leftisit icon? Dugger, you pulled that entire quote from the marketing blurb for Churchill’s own book: http://www.southendpress.org/2004/items/FromaNative
How fucking dishonest can you get? Maybe when this teacher writes a book about how great slavery really was I can quote the dust jacket blurb.
And Jay, who gives a shit about your racist family? We had to endure weeks of Hannity blasting some poor slob history teacher who’s lesson plan included harsh crticism of the president with an opportunity for students to respond. Hannity held this guy up as an example of liberal infiltration of the schools and the ongoing indoctrination of America’s youth. This asshole was hired in South Carolina after previously being fired for hanging a Confederate Flag in his class:
“This isn’t the first time Winston McCuen has been in the news. In 1999, he was a history teacher at St. Joseph’s, a private high school in Greenville. McCuen hung a Confederate flag in his classroom. When parents complained, he was told by school officials to take it down. He didn’t, and he was fired.”
“However, it sounds like too much to me. I wonder if this is on the up and up.”
Yup Dugger, this is just more evidence of the vast MSM conspiracy to smear and discredit racists. No doubt you feel it in your gut. Idiot.
Stop trying to make it a freaking political conservative/liberal issue.
/crosses fingers, reeeeeally hopes FOX/Rush/Coulter/Inghram/Severin/Malkin/Savage gets the message!
Yeah, Frank, that’s the choice: Either let Bush eavesdrop on more than 200 million Americans, or perish in a nuclear holocaust.
You fucking idiot.
I would say that if Mr. McCuen wishes to “conserve” anything, it is the right to say whatever he wants, regardless of who is offended.
My children have been taught never to use words like that, and if I lived close enough to Mr. McCuen, I think I’d bang his head up against my fist a few few dozen times, until he saw fit to re – evaluate his unique interpretation of the First Amendment.
I would suggest that you folks who would rather be annihilated by suitcase – sized nuclear weapons than run the risk of being overheard by “5 – 0″ arranging to meet the “Man” at the “Spot” for a “bag ‘o’ Thai”, are surely big and bad enough to knock Mr. McCuen on his lily – white ass.

“The wicked evil Marxists, hellbound though they be, are no doubt gloating, like pure demons, over the tragic death of this honest and forthright man. I pray for his family. My deepest condolences to you all.
Clearly and obviously, heads should roll. The councilwoman should be impeached and prosecuted, and the construction company should be sued out of existence by the widow.
God help us in our fight against these atheistic monsters!

In the wake of the recent attacks, the very first concerns of every truly patriotic and justice-loving American should be (1) to understand the real and deeper causes of these attacks; and (2) to refuse to accept uncritically the shallow opinions and pseudo-patriotic exhortations of both our government and of its pet media. In other words, it is the solemn duty of every salt-of-the-earth, conservative American to bow out of the current war hysteria and nationalistic blustering, and to leave that mindlessness and false patriotism to those who do it best -i.e., the liberals.
Yea, he’s some liberal alright. Can anyone have any doubt what side of the political spectrum he is on? Other than Jay and his racist family, that is? And why is he STILL a teacher after all these years? What the hell is wrong with the parents that send their kids to that school to listen to that racist?
It’s South Carolina.
Frankly, I’d trade all of the South to Mexico for a case of warm Dos Equis.
But I doubt Mexico would want to give up that much.
Living in the south as I do this type of racist sentiment and orientation is commonplace and not at all remarkable. What is a little unnerving is the hatred that hides behind the fake smiles and mock civility that these people display. The idea that someone this extreme is entrusted with the inculcation of impressionable minds is appalling.
Hi, Jamey, welcome to “I can curse like a big kid!”
Here’s how to play:
Whatever I say, you call me a fucking idiot. When you’ve said it about a million, billion times, you’ll just be passing frameone’s record…
And then you win!
And yet, despite your mocking of Jamey, your analysis of the policy dilemma we face remains idiotic. Curious.
I’m trying to think of an intelligent way to be afraid of something that has little or no chance of happening, compared with something that has happend several times, in this country alone.
There isn’t one.
It’s dangerous and naive to associate racism with political affiliation. A month or so ago, a leftist editorial writer for my school, Cornell University, was charged with stabbing a black student in what seemed to be a racially-motivated crime.
Racism is a problem that plagues all of America.
Yes, racism is a problem that plagues all of America. But only one major political party openly courts the racist vote. I’ll give you a clue, they run both houses of Congress and their leader has an approval rating of 29%.
These are “left wing circles”?
Yea “Fact”check…..
except that only one party puts up a guy that believes the Holocaust never happened and actually IS courting the white supremacists

Dumb hypocrites…
Amazing. Oliver, the boy who cries “wolf” (well, “racist”) at every opportunity, actually found an out-and-out racist to denounce. It’s proof of the broken-clock theory.
J.
You know what’s really amazing?
Oliver finds racists under every stone, and behind every tree, in the Republican world.
But when he comes across a real racist, he’s beside himself with astonishment.
All this about a high school teacher, while a white supremacist and neo-Nazi is running for Attorney General in Alabama… on the Democratic ticket.
http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newjersey/ny-bc-nj–alabamaattorneyge0512may12,0,1010796.story?coll=ny-region-apnewjersey
Oliver, your silence is deafening.
J.
Whoops, I didn’t catch that drpedro had included the same link. My apologies, Doc…

This what you’re looking for?
Yikes!

Why would they bother, Mr Willis? The teacher in question has been put on administrative leave, and won’t be back next year; that’s what passes for “fired” in the real world.
But it certainly raises the question of why Ward Churchill, speaking on the far-out idiot left, could say insanely offensive things, and was defended as having simply exercised his freedom of speech, and there was just no way he ought to be fired from a public school for what he said, yet Winston McCuen voices something from the far-out idiot right, and my left-wing friends, many of whom defended Mr Churchill and his public expressions, up in arms.
There wouldn’t be any hypocrisy in that, could there?

I guess by your conspicuous silence that would be the Democratic party?
still no word from AWOL Factcheck and Ollie.
Just {crickets}…..
Does it really take a KKK type to remind any of us what the climate is really like here in america? All is not well for blacks, native people or anyone one of color if a racist decides to attack or stifle our progress. The real ones to be concerned about are the quiet racist and race traitors like the conservative black groups that attack other blacks and support the bushes and cheneys and the like. Yes we continue to be confronted by racism but an idiot from the south is not a problem unless he has a gun or a position of authority over people of color. Watch out the the jesse l. petersons and jesse jacksons type.
