We are a tribal group comprised mainly of local people with Native American Indian blood in our heritage. Many believe that there are no longer Native Indians on the Eastern Shore, this is far from the truth. After we realized the atrocities brought by the settlers and started fighting back to reclaim our lands and protect our people, we gained the reputation of being the most warlike of the Shore Indians.

I think that if you were to do as I have done, and spend some years studying history, which is the story of people, tkenny, you would find a lot of political correctness back then, perhaps far more than exists now. Paul, you try to spin what I said any way you want but at the end of it all there is no dispute as to what I said or the meaning. Whoa, tkenny, dude, long time no see, and now here you are, twice in a row, as acerbic as ever, and as usual, dead wrong, but since we are a compassionate people in here, tkenny, in the name of political correctness, we can accept that and, forgive you your foibles in that regard.

In taking this thread off-topic, tkenny, which is to say, to begin your hi-jacking of the thread, instead of responding to any of those three statements, your response was as follows:.

Are you intimating in your subtle way that because of his age, he has to be senile, because you harbor a belief that old people are all senile? The online dictionary gives us as follows with respect to PC: Why should we all have to think or be required to think the way you, Hillary Clinton and Black Lives Matter want us to think? And I also think that you yourself really know nothing about Columbus, other than what you have been told to think.

As to the Indians, since they still exist, despite your wish or hope otherwise, I will let them speak for themselves, as they can do so quite eloquently as I have found in my associations with them. My fondest wish for you, Tkenny, is that when you are arrested, your lawyer eschews the long standing legal term of art…….. See, AF are what are used to rebut a prosecutors contentions. But democrats is smert!!! Kind of ruins your screed, doncha know. Mike, Alternative Facts are nothing more than lies.

Are you one of those corrupt Jersey lawyers?? I assume RU is Rutgers University? Mike my whole point was if you are going to write something and provide examples to support your point, you better make sure they are accurate. If people were curious, they could simply GOOGLE the question of why Christine LaGarde was disinvited, as Mike did, and they would find the whole story told for them from every perspective available. No, tkenny, what people are interested in are what the thread is really about, which is eloquently expressed in these three following statements:.

Has the utopia of the progressives today been marinating in the ideology of political correctness? And was the first use of the term dystopia really by John Stuart Mill in an address to Parliament in to mean the opposite of utopia wherein freedoms are abridged in the name of ideals that lead to authoritarian or totalitarian governance? You are considered a scholar in here, tkenny, so perhaps you could give us some scholarly discourse on that subject.

And what about this, tkenny: There is where the attention of not only the American people, but the candid world as well is riveted, tkenny, not on Christine LaGarde, so if you want to be taken seriously in here, it is to those questions that you should now turn your massive intellect. On Tuesday, former University of California Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau announced he would withdraw from his address at Haverford College in the face of student protests.

Birgeneau, who seemed to most like a safe choice, was apparently unwelcome because of his alleged mishandling of Occupy Wall Street protests on his campus. If the speakers had refused to withdraw, they might have suffered the fate of Ayaan Hirsi Ali at Brandeis University earlier this year.

Hirsi Ali, an atheist, activist and fierce critic of the treatment of women in Islamic countries, was set to be honored with an honorary degree from the Massachusetts university. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: In other words, it requires having and open and questing mind, not a closed mind like these college students doing the disinviting.

It critical thinking entails the examination of those structures or elements of thought implicit in all reasoning: Critical thinking — in being responsive to variable subject matter, issues, and purposes — is incorporated in a family of interwoven modes of thinking, among them: Critical thinking can be seen as having two components: It is thus to be contrasted with: And that is what we are not seeing in these college disinvitations — neither fairmindedness nor intellectual integrity, just small-mindedness and close-mindedness, instead.

Students and faculty have the right to protest speakers and to criticize their colleges for choosing speakers they dislike. When students or faculty, who should definitely know better work to exclude a speaker from campus, they are thinking like censors, not scholars.

A scholarly community should approach speakers with even radically different points of view as opportunities to be engaged, not as a political loss that must be avoided at all costs. Universities have only themselves to blame for this mess—not just for caving to pressure, but for teaching students the wrong lessons about the value of free and robust discourse. Alternative facts are a term of art used in the legal field to differentiate positions.

You claim you were going 55, the cop says you were going Sorry you are unaware of that. And admiring the many SuperBowl Rings my team owns, while you can ride over to Maryland if you can afford to go over the bridge, pay the tolls and stadium entrance fee and watch the Skins……well, lose…… again and again and again and again………. This belief has inevitably morphed into an expectation among students that they will be confirmed in their beliefs, not challenged.

Colleges could stem the tide of disinvitation season by encouraging intellectual curiosity, humility, the reservation of judgment, recognition that one does not know everything and the simple act of granting the benefit of the doubt. Their failure to instill these habits has led to campuses that have become depressingly intolerant. If this trend is not reversed, disinvitation season will only end when campuses give up on inviting speakers who have anything to say.

And that depressing intolerance, people, is a characteristic of the dystopia we now find ourselves immersed in here in the United States of America, where finally, has arrived. Your email address will not be published.

Landis The term utopia was first coined by Sir Thomas Moore , a catholic Renaissance humanist who wrote a satire, Utopia, about an imaginary political system of an ideal island nation. So how did Landis lead us astray: An excellent recounting of contemporary history in America today. In the Inca society under Spanish rule, the first utopia was attempted. Get real here, Bernice, and grow up.

What Kelly said was: African states played a key role in the slave trade. Slavery was a common practice among Africans. Chieftains would barter their slaves to European buyers for rum, spices, cloth or other goods. Selling captives or prisoners was common practice among Africans and Arabs during that era.

In the s, King Gezo of Dahomey said: The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. What of it, dude?

For those unfamiliar with the term, the website constitution. The Compromise was a result of the apportionment of taxes being related to land values. Many ratios were considered, such as three-fourths, one-half, and one-quarter. The Northern states grew more rapidly in terms of population than the South. History has moved on, Ta-Nehisi, so why are you mired in a past which no longer exists? The candid world would like to know. And what happened to all the Indian tribes on Delmarva?

Your trumpeting of their earthly demise as a people is quite premature. Getting back to their website: Unfortunately, it was too late to be able to have a major impact. And how do you know, tkenny, that there was not political correctness back then? As is the candid world, as well. In taking this thread off-topic, tkenny, which is to say, to begin your hi-jacking of the thread, instead of responding to any of those three statements, your response was as follows: How is that not changing the topic of this thread by yourself, tkenny?

But enough about you. It relies on value judgements, tkenny, which are not objective. Who enforces those judgments on the rest of us? And what about our liberty of conscience and right of non-association in this country, tkenny? Where does this coercive PC crowd get the right to impose its views on anyone? Give us a rational, objective basis for it. That is pretty much what I know of the dude. As for me, I am not a part of that discussion. And to close, tkenny, you have yourself a real nice day. And finally, did you not read the upper portion of the link you provided?

Who cares if they did? No, tkenny, what people are interested in are what the thread is really about, which is eloquently expressed in these three following statements: Is that true or false, tkenny, in your opinion? When students rallied against her, she refused to bow out.
