Let’s Play a Little Intimidation Game, Blacks Say to Beverly Hills High

Self-selected “civil rights” thugs — freelancer Earl Ofari Hutchinson, and the NAACP’s Willis Edwards and Ronald Hasson — menacingly approached the Beverly High principal yesterday.

They told her she had her choice. She could make it painful or painless on herself.

I heard that she had said “yes” 498 times before a witness quit counting.

Their Liberal Enablers

Because black not only is beautiful but very trendy for the liberal arbiters of society, these tinhorn thugs can stride onto any campus under the LAUSD umbrella and strike the fear of Jesse into any sensible administrator.

The Three Stooges demanded that Beverly High take in more black students. Being stooges, I presume they never have heard of, or don’t believe in, the merit system. Merit seems never to have been discussed in the onesided negotiations.

These talks were on the order of the bartering power the 15 Brit sailors and marines had two weeks ago when they negotiated their freedom with President Billy Barty of Iran.

The tallest stooge at the Beverly Hills meeting, at 6-foot-8, said, perplexingly:

“The chronic underachievement of many black and Latino students in the LAUSD continues to have a damaging effect on poor communities.”

What does that mean? Do you have to drink to decode it? He qualified for the liberal mantra by getting the 3 favorite words of liberals into a single sentence, “black,” “damaging” and “poor.” Bingo.

The tallest stooge appears to be saying, “Ain’t our fault.” Naturally.

Didn’t anyone tell these three the circus left town last week?

What Is a Thug’s Reward?

Is there will enough among sensible people to repel their onrush?

If there is cable television in heaven, Dr. King must be choking on his food when he watches these tragic scenes play out.

Who Said, ‘Don’t Sweat It’?

The stench from the principal’s instant perspiration leaked all the way into Culver City. Fortunately, it abated before reaching Culver Crest.

Since black students of recent years have been the lowest performing throughout LAUSD, don’t you imagine Beverly High is eager to recruit the cream of the black community?

The miniscule literacy rate among school-age black boys and girls would plunge any caring person into long-term depression.

Do as I Say? Yeah, Sure

Imagine having the Three Stooges as role models. That is more depressing than the literacy rate.

“Ya wanna go to Beverly High, son? Don’t worry. I’ll getcha in — by lunch, if you can wait that long.”

Sadly, the vacuum in leadership across the black community is strong enough to reverse a tsunami.

With only buffoons of this stripe to choose from, no wonder the black community has been rudderless since Dr. King was murdered 39 years ago last week.

What an ugly, ignorant disservice these 3 hateful, misguided men are doing to deserving black students.

Do You Care?

If they cared about the children, they would start working with the most promising ones to help them advance, meritoriously, honorably, not menddaciously, through America’s academic corridors.

When you are admitted to a prestigious school for which you are wildly unqualified, history shows you will be out on your tush before the tinhorn thugs can reload their guns.

Our frequently idle left-wing friends — who have not yet memorized how to spell m-e-r-i-t — love to stir the racial pot daily by playing with numbers, the same way an infant plays with a rubber ball.

Booze, Drugs or Liberalism?

Nutty Norm Abrams, the (thankfully) interim Chancellor at UCLA, has been acting like a teenager gulping down his first alcohol ever since he fell into the job.

Responding to his left-wing minders, Nutty Norm has been leading a loud charge to increase black enrollment.

Merit, shmerit, he hollers through his rainbow-colored megaphone.

We need diversity, baby, he preaches. They don’t have to read. They don’t have to show up in class. But we need the enrollment numbers.

Counter-Attack to Nutty Normie

Ward Connerly, for decades the most sensible black man in California — upon whom the Times spits — had a brilliant response to Nutty Norm’s Peewee Herman imitation when UCLA strutted out its new data 2 weeks ago.

UCLA is bringing in 392 black freshmen for the next term — up by 292 over last year.

Introducing Common Sense

Listen to Mr. Connerly, the former U. C. regent:

“One of three things must be happening. Black kids have either gotten extremely smart or extremely competitive in a way they weren’t five or six years ago.

“Or they have found a proxy for race.”

In the single word of my religious friends, Amen.
