Believe it or not this man is (was) a Professor of Political Science at Duke University.
How much does tuition cost there?
In writing me, no one has said I was wrong, just racist.
Youāre wrong and a racist. There, Iāve said it, satisfied?
This is even complete with a misappropriation of Dr. King at the end. Well done. Dude hit for the cycle.
ANOTher White LOSEs his JOb becAUSe of ALL the BLAck PEople!1!1!!!one!!!1!!!
āStrangeā names like Track, Trig and Tripp?
Holy crapā¦he looks like Fred Munster. Iāll say this, Prof. Jerry Hough has a face only a mother could love.
āBlack-white dating is almost non-existent because of the ostracism by blacks of anyone who dates a white.ā
This is such garbage itās delusional. Yes, there is ostracism. No, it hasnāt stopped many interracial marriages. Perhaps, in South Cackalacky, itās been an issue but not in any of the major cities. Guyās insane and stupid.
That fits. Sounds like heās just another rightwing political hack in academia. Clearly, heās not educated in History, Sociology, Psychology or even Political Science for that matterā¦The list goes on.
Not this motherā¦
Piled Higher & Deeperā¦
How is this guy a professor at Duke? His arguments are akin to the kind of shit youād see on Free Republic written by neanderthals.
Such a delightful man. To misquote Barry Goldwater, he seems to believe that ignorance in the defense of stupidity is no vice.
The amount of Asian-white dating is enormous and so surely will be the intermarriage. Black-white dating is almost non-existent because of the ostracism by blacks of anyone who dates a white.

AHHH! Why didnāt we all figure this out before??? Racism would disappear if only Blacks would date White people!
Thank you, Mr Hough!
Interesting that he did not give an example of āstrange names.ā
I wager that since Duke is a private university with a $60,000 tuition, that the students of black parents are probabaly middle to upper middle class, and would be savvy enough to name their children with ātraditionalā sound names. Shanika and other āstrangeā sounding names are more prevalent in the black lower class than the black middle class.
That he gave no examples makes me think that his citicism isnāt based on any real facts-- heās a political scientistāmake think that his statement is based on animus.
If only Hough had ventured an explanation of chitlins. Louis CK would have to hide in shame at the exposure of his own comic lameness.
What an astonishing stain both on the discipline of political science and upon a great (if unbearably smug and elitist in the worst possible sense of the word) university this man is. He holds an endowed chair. A man who holds views representative of the most asinine, facile, insular form of Fox News rich white conservative racism has an endowed chair at Duke. Not an adjunct. Not an untenured associate professor. Not even a junior full professor. No, a full professor holding an endowed chair.
The manās been in the highest strata of academe for decades and, in all that time, heās managed to absorb nothing from those whose views differ from his. Heās walled himself off and gotten not so much as a glimpse out the window of the castle of white privilege he lives in. No understanding or acknowledgement of the existence of structural racism, just the self-satisfied purblind conservative white privilege that believes the reason black people have so many problems is because of the stubborn, possibly genetic, refusal of Those People to assimilate with white people, despite the manifest, and quite generous, willingness of white people to allow that to happen.
Itās just jaw dropping. Not as jaw dropping as giving a war criminal a professorship at Boalt Hall, but close.
Thatās where I was going to start.
Then to the bubble in which this man resides.
Which is insulated:
- In a university setting.
- In a Southern state.
- In an area with a conservative bent.
And he wants to base his perspective on what AA parents name their kidsā
versus nicknames that Asians choose for themselves?
The internet outs yet another closet racist.
