Many years ago, I had a full scholarship at a graduate political science program. I withdrew after seven weeks because the professors were dolts and the journals and textbooks were packed with polysyllabic verbiage that actually said nothing. I was unsurprised to learn that quite of few of the Duke 88 were PolSci faculty. The Duke 88’s combination of illogic, bias, bigotry, absurd recommendations, and claims of victimhood and persecution were exactly what I expect of PolSci and Sociology “experts.”

I hate to come across as arrogant, but I consider MYSELF an expert on race and gender. You see, all my life I’ve been a member of a race and a member of a gender. In fact, I have numerous family members and friends who all happen to be a race or gender, some even different from mine. I’ll go even further and state that I’m somewhat of an expert on differing age groups as well!

This is not something I merely studied for a brief period of time while pursuing various degrees, but comes from decades of personal immersion in the subject matter.

What their problem is that they are really not “experts” about anything, and no one really cares what they might think.

What’s funny is that this is basically a dressed-up whine about not being taken seriously, but rather than wonder for even a moment why the ‘public discourse’ might give short shrift to their opinions these guys insist on casting themselves as victims of ‘administrators’ and other figures of authority. Of course when you have tenure your actual degree of victimization is pretty constrained. I guess once your position and salary are guaranteed you can still cry about ‘extreme marginalization’ (i.e. people laughing at your fool opinions), since you really don’t have much else to hang your victim status on…

Uh, it’s really simple. You have to have a certain amount of evidence to take someone to trial on criminal charges. A shaky story by a shady character, lack of physical evidence, and a denial by another witness is not the kind of evidence I want to be able to bind someone over for trial, regardless of their race.

Those stupid judges and their “preconceived notions” about criminal procedure.
