My sister sent me a link to this interesting post about graduation ceremonies at Berkeley. Is it just me or did I get the 60's civil rights movement all wrong? Weren't we trying to integrate our society? Wasn't 'separate but equal' wrong? With the advent of multiculterism, it looks like the left wants us to become segregated again. No place is this more apparent than in the California University system.
USC's official commencement ceremonies were held on May 16. The night before, more than 180 seniors participated in the school's 25th annual Chicano and Latino graduation. Parts of the ceremony were in Spanish, parts in English. There were traditional dances performed by dancers in ceremonial dress. There was also a Cultural Staff covered with indigenous symbols; it was carried by a member of the Latino Honor Society in order to recognize her leadership and example. USC also held a black graduation last week.
Three separate graduation ceremonies by race. It's a good thing this wasn't done in Georgia. O'Reilly would be screaming bloody murder. But isn't this, well, ummmm, uh, like racist? But wait! Look what went on at Berkeley.
UC Berkeley's African Studies department held its own graduation ceremony on May 17.
And guess who the commencement speaker was?
The commencement speaker was none other than Cynthia McKinney.
GMAFB! Time to hook up the old bullshit detector! The meter will be pegged most of the speech so it will probably have to go back in the shop for an overhaul. Erin provided a link to the entire speech. You may remember that it was in Berkeley last year when Cynthia made her outrageous remarks about Bush knowing about 9/11 and not taking steps to stop it. So I guess it's only fair that she gives a commencement speech at Commie U. for an encore.
I'm only gonna hit the low high points of her speech, and I don't know how much I'm gonna be able to take before I have to go puke.
You have accomplished an important milestone in your lives. Important for who you are and where you are.
She's probably gonna say they're black and at Commie U.
You are young, gifted, and black. And you are graduates of The University of California at Berkeley--America's campus--with a legacy of informed action and deliberate dissent.
Told ya! 'legacy of informed action and deliberate dissent' = anti-American, anti-Semitic communists.
I want to ask each of you today to consider the current state of America.
Put on your boots. Here it comes.
Under President Bush the US has turned its back on the United Nations
And that's a good thing.
and the entire international community
Except for the 40 or so nations on our side.
and has waged war in Afghanistan and Iraq;
And stomped 'em both!
more potential conflicts are threatened with nations like Iran, Syria, North Korea, and even China.
Yep!
Here at home, unemployment is rising, our economy is on its knees, and our national debt is threatening to reach unprecedented levels. The word "deflation" is whispered by many economists.
Ohhhh! We're in dire straits!
In better days students graduated from college practically debt-free. No longer.
Exactly when was this? The 1950's? Everyone I know who put themselves through college owed money on student loans.
More families than ever before try to relieve the mounting pressure by depleting their savings and becoming more in debt. Yet, the President advocates more tax cuts, not for poor America, but for the rich.
Gotta get that 'tax cuts for the rich' in there don't we. Actually, the tax cuts are for people who actually pay taxes.
Only this week we learn that in this country one million black children now live in poverty and that one million black men and women are in prison. Every night on the streets of America, over a quarter of a million veterans sleep as our forgotten homeless. That's the thanks of a grateful nation.
OK Let's examine why we have one million black children in poverty. It's because we have black females (many of them younger that 18) having babies they cannot afford to support. Is that my fucking fault? No Cynthia. It's your fucking fault. You and all the other RWPP (Race Warlord Poverty Pimps) who blame everything on whitey rather that preaching personal responsibility. If you really want to eliminate black children in poverty, preach personal responsiblity. Preach staying in school. Preach learning to read and write English. Preach that doing well in school is not 'acting white'.
And why do we have so many black men and women in prison? Maybe because they have committed crimes? Maybe if there were more two parent families, children would be brought up with better values. And this is not just a black problem. Single parent families casue crime problems in whites also. But, the illegitimacy rate is much higher in the black community.
And I am on her side as far as the problems with veterans go. Jesus, I actually agree with Cynthia on sumpin'? Nah. I'll be willing to bet she just threw that last bullshit in. I know an anti-American commie like Cynthia doesn't give a rat's ass about veterans.
Special interests have taken control of our nation's capital and are perverting it from the noble traditions of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Kennedy, and instead are using our precious national resources for personal profit and personal needs.
Personal profit: Bill and Hillary Clinton
Personal needs: Renaming everything in West Virginia that doesn't move after Robert 'Kleagle' Byrd.
And don't think Cynthia didn't have her personal needs taken care of when she was in Congress. And. now. she. is. gonna. quote. Eisenhower!
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."
Yes, we have spent a lot of money on the military. That military won the Cold War. That military has also defended this country from our enemies. And that miltary has kept this country free. And even with our military spending, we have still been able to dole out billions to the rest of the world. We're giving $15 billion to Africa for AIDS, which will probably be money flushed down the toilet.
You, here today, graduate from an institution with a long and noble history of fighting to protect the interests of our nation.
Berkeley? Fighting for the interests of our nation?
In the early 1930s and '40s the issues that sparked Berkeley's activism ranged from labor rights and the Spanish Civil War to the draft. In the halcyon days of the '60s and '70s the issues ranged from the right, itself, to dissent on campus to the Vietnam War.
In other words, anti-Americanism.
Whether the issues were near or far, civil rights at home or human rights abroad, we, who lived in other parts of the country where such activism couldn't easily be expressed, could count on you at Berkeley to be there, to speak for us. And sometimes even to think for us.
Yeah. That's all we need: Berkeley thinking for us. GMAFB!
Above all, your graduation from Berkeley is a signal to everyone around the world, that more than anything else, you can think and are prepared to fight for what is right.
Communism.
And so, no matter what you do or where you go in life, let no one deny you the right to think for yourself.
As long as you think the way the left tells you to think.
And no wonder. In the face of the corporate media package that is presented to us as "news," it is now imperative that you learn to see the invisible, hear the unspoken, and read the unwritten.
Communism good. Capitalism bad. Whites are bad. Jews are bad.
Or else, you will not know the truth.
Communism good. Capitalism bad. Whies are bad. Jews are bad.
Only this week we've learned from the BBC News that the entire "Saving Private Lynch in Iraq" episode was staged by the US military.
Only this week we learned that the BBC is backtracking from that story.
Then she rambles on and on and on and starts sounding more like Maxine Waters.
After finding a CIA document that actually mentions assassination and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., dated May 11, 1965, some 3 years before his murder, I held a forum in the Congress on The Murder of Martin Luther King, Jr.
So there ya go. James Earl Ray was a CIA operative.
I wondered why Africa seemed to be in turmoil, and so I began to investigate US involvement on the Continent. That led me to the murder of Patrice Lumumba as a model for the systematic destabilization of the Continent and the theft of its resources by a small brigand of outlaws who have legal and illegal weapons at their disposal to create so-called rebel groups that materialize from out of nowhere and have instant access to press conferences and international airwaves. So I held a forum in Congress: Covert Action in Africa, Smoking Gun in Washington, DC.
Holy shit!
I wondered out loud why Tupac was murdered and why we don't have any clues as to who did it.
Another CIA plot!
But understanding how the Black Panthers were targeted in their heyday, I wondered if the fact that Tupac's mom was a Black Panther and his father figure a black activist contributed to certain death threats against Tupac's life that were being investigated by the FBI. So I decided to have a Hip Hop event in Georgia and one in DC to explore these and other issues of Hip Hop as a political movement--infiltrated and cut short.
There it is. The CIA has infiltrated Hip Hop. Who woulda thunk it?
I wondered why it was that the statistics could reflect worsening conditions for black America and very few people actually know it. So I began to publicize the State of Black America.
* that the AIDS infection rate for black men is 5 times higher than for white men and 15 times higher for black women than for white women;
Whose fault is that?
* that African Americans now account for 41% of all US AIDS cases;
I bet it's them damn Jews! That's right. It's a Zionist plot!
* that despite the higher incidence of breast cancer for white women, black women actually die at a rate 69% higher that white women;
That's because the VRWC infects blacks with a more virulent form of breast cancer.
* that black women are at greater risk of dying from every pregnancy-related cause of death reported than white women;
The AMA is in on the plot also.
* that the ratio of black men in prison to those in higher education is 4 to 1. And between 1980 and 1995, the increase in incarceration for black men was 20 times greater than their enrollments in colleges and universities.
Well Cynthia, maybe if they would quit committing crimes that wouldn't happen. And, to go to college, one has to graduate from high school. That's kinda hard to do when that is considered 'acting white'. Maybe if you would go into the inner cities and say stuff like that, you might be able to change things for the better. Nah. Race baiting is so much easier.
And then she goes on about "What did the Bush Administration know and when did it know it about the events of September 11th?" And, of course, we have to go on about how Bush stole the election and then...
Sproing!
Oh shit! My bullshit meter just blew up. I can go no further. Read the rest of the speech if you dare.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
