Liberal Professors bash Trump and the Police

On July 9, 2020, two professors and one masters student from Nova Southeastern University gave an "educational" webinar to the public. The title of the webinar was "Civil Rights, Black Lives Matter, and National Security.  What they said was shocking.

Like all universities, NSU receives several forms of federal and state money. However, they use opportunities like these to bash the police, bash the president, and defend the Marxism of Black Lives Matter. Because of the Youtube limitations I had to edit the video, but you can view the entire online discussion (and chat) here:

The speakers are Dr. Charles Zeldon, NSU professor of history, Aprille McIntosh, a recent masters student, and Dr. David Kilroy, chair of the NSU Department of History and Political Science.  These academic blowhards punish any dissenting opinions, and President Trump is right to give them extra scrutiny.  If you follow the link above to the full video, here are some excerpts with the time stamps:

28:30 “I don’t think Donald Trump is educable. I don’t think Donald Trump has the ability to look at the situation and realize you can’t just kick Americans out of America. So yeah, there’s a big problem with the President’s attitude, but then there’s a lot of problems with the President’s attitude, and one possible, very strong response, comes on the 11th of November when we as a people vote. If he’s not in power, if Republicans are not in power, these attitudes can change.”

29:56 “It’s almost a slap in the face to native African Americans who essentially built the country, to tell them to just leave, when it was never their choice in the first place to come here.”

30:14 “We can’t reach solutions regarding injustice because a large part of Trump’s base believe in what he is saying and that is a large part of the problem… They take to the streets or they take to whatever platforms they have to spread that message, spread that, you know, blacks should leave the country and say everything is fake news if it goes against what he says.”

33:45 “We could note that does seem to be an objective of uh, our current president, to do exactly that. To undermine our alliances and our connections with the world. To emphasis America alone, and his interest in and positive views of totalitarian or totalitarian-like states.”

36:15 “I strongly believe that Donald Trump has done almost irreparable damage to our security apparatus and to our security worldwide by his actions.

36:50 “I agree… with the fact that I believe he’s done almost irreversible damage to America’s picture on the world stage.”

37:42 “Donald Trump denying the issues that are so blatantly in everyone’s face, and it continuing, it’s almost as if, there gets a moment where it get’s “Well, it can’t get any worse than this” and then it get’s worse, and then it just keeps on going. Just like Dr. Zeldon pointed out, it’s up to us in November to ensure we can kind of bring the country back in.”

46:59 “In the Constitution itself there’s a provision in which every state must provide aid to other states to put down “armed insurrections”… And that was placed in on behalf of the southern states who wanted to make sure they would get support in putting down slave rebellions.”

50:54 “Well, first understand that Marxism is first and foremost a philosophy of history and society. It is a depiction of how the world evolves and changes based on economic and class issues. Ah, one can be a Marxist and not be a communist. Ah, many people who are academic Marxists have a somewhat deterministic view the role of class and economics in shaping the world, but aren’t necessarily communists. Marx believed that the ultimate end of this process was a world without government, which he called communism. Note that what we call communism in places like the Soviet Union and China is anything but a world without government. In fact, it became a dictatorship of the proletariat, and ultimately, a totalitarian state.  So it’s quite possible to be focused on your view of the world, building on the insights of Karl Marx, without being communists. And I suspect that’s what these individuals are talking about… Marxism evolved into many different forms, not all of them destructive.”

55:42 “Our effort, our practice of defining inclusion by describing somebody as white, which by the way, has little to do with the color of your skin and much to do with social standing and status within society. Remember, when the Italians came - especially the southern Italians - they were swarthy, they weren’t white.  All of a sudden they were white.  It isn’t skin color, it’s your place in society and acceptance by the wider society… As more Americans become people of color and of mixed race, we need to find ways to define inclusion that doesn’t – isn’t based on the idea if you were white or not – a binary choice.”
