“I wonder if it is possible to follow the trail of plagiarism … to a seminal “Paper Zero” on racial grievances…” Careful what you wish for. We might find that paper was written by Thomas Sowell, Charles Murray, Glenn Loury, or ?? But more likely we would find this seminal author was either Karl Marx or Malcom X.

“… you should try to find a similar narrow academic pursuit with primarily non-black scholars who engage in a similar proliferation of plagiarism.” You mean, like “climate science”, Federal Reserve tea leaves reading, or transgender medicine?

“The hell of this is lived by the people who are intelligent and do the work to find out that they were hired to check a box.” I certainly hope that in the end they do realize that their talents and productive output would end up speaking for itself.

And as someone who has been in actual African classrooms, elementary through HS, I’ll just say that he is/was full of horse manure.

If they are, then:
1 — if it turns out that it is a racially-founded problem, it will be suppressed.
2 — if it turns out that it is happening across the board, well, then it will be suppressed because… face it, it’ll be mostly liberals doing it.
3 — what won’t be found is and evidence that anyone is being oppressed. But that will not be the merdia spin no matter what happens.

ANY theme. Too many candidates. Not enough ideas. Downside of too many people. Over production of elites.

The hell of this is lived by the people who are intelligent and do the work to find out that they were hired to check a box.

In this case, we have black academics (mostly female) who all write about the same thing, namely “white man bad”. There are only so many new or original twists you can put on that theme. If you were interested in looking for some equivalence in fraud outside of this field, you should try to find a similar narrow academic pursuit with primarily non-black scholars who engage in a similar proliferation of plagiarism.

Then when they got into academia, they still didn’t know any better and just kept doing the same thing, and receiving even more effusive praise for their “scholastic work”.

It wonder if it is possible to follow the trail of plagiarism from one DEI “scholar” to another, and if it all leads to a seminal “Paper Zero” on racial grievances from which the entire compendium of “black studies” was plagiarized from.

Transcript of Jeremiah Wright’s speech to NAACP:

Miseducation. Miseducation incidentally is not a Jeremiah Wright term. It’s a word coined by Dr. Carter G. Woodson over 80 years ago .. Two brilliant scholars and two beautiful sisters, both of whom hail from Detroit in the fields of education and linguistics, Dr. Janice Hale right here at Wayne State University, founder of the Institute for the study of the African-American child. and Dr. Geneva Smitherman formerly of Wayne State University now at Michigan State University .. Both demonstrated 40 years ago that different does not mean deficient.

Turn to your neighbor and say different does not mean deficient. It simply means different. In fact, Dr. Janice Hale was the first writer whom I read who used that phrase. Different does not mean deficient. Different is not synonymous with deficient. It was in Dr. Hale’s first book, “Black Children their Roots, Culture and Learning Style.” Is Dr. Hale here tonight? We owe her a debt of gratitude. Dr. Hale showed us that in comparing African-American children and European-American children in the field of education, we were comparing apples and rocks.

And we were coming up with more meaningless solutions like reading, writing and Ritalin. Dr. Hale’s research led her to stop comparing African-American children with European-American children and she started comparing the pedagogical methodologies of African-American children to African children and European-American children to European children. And bingo, she discovered that the two different worlds have two different ways of learning. European and European-American children have a left brained cognitive object oriented learning style and the entire educational learning system in the United States of America.

African and African-American children have a different way of learning.

They are right brained, subject oriented in their learning style. Right brain that means creative and intuitive. Subject oriented means they learn from a subject, not an object. They learn from a person. Some of you are old enough, I see your hair color, to remember when the NAACP won that tremendous desegregation case back in 1954 and when the schools were desegregated. They were never integrated. When they were desegregated in Philadelphia, several of the white teachers in my school freaked out. Why? Because black kids wouldn’t stay in their place. Over there behind the desk, black kids climbed up all on them.

White and black children have different brains or different ways of learning. Imagine a white person say that.

Well, ordinarily you’d be right…however…
some people are far too “intelligent” for their own good…(keeping in mind, if you prefer, the “Intelligence-Perversity nexus…as measured by the “Perversity Quotient”….):
