Blacks are just too dumb

Allyson Friedman, an associate professor at Hunter College, sparked controversy when she interjected a Black eighth-grade student’s tirade about the potential shutdown of her school during a Community Education Council meeting on Feb. 10.

“They’re too dumb to know they’re in a bad school,” Friedman reportedly said while her mic was live, according to the New York Times.

“If you train a Black person well enough, they’ll know to use the back,” she said. “You don’t have to tell them anymore.”

She seemed to be referring to a comment made by Reginald Higgins, the school district’s interim acting superintendent, who spoke about Carter G. Woodson – the father of Black history.

“If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told,” Woodson wrote in his 1933 book “The Mis-education of the Negro.”

A university spokesperson described Friedman’s comments as “abhorrent,” according to the Daily Mail.

She certainly feels enlightened.   And this from our vaunted university system where everyone is equal and you are squished if you think differently.

Another case of a dim going well past the soft bigotry of low expectations.
