A professor at Columbia University says that opposing the minimum wage hike is racist.
Dorian Warren, whose faculty profile page says he specializes in “the study of inequality and American politics” – and teaches on “community organizing” – made the comments on television recently.
Via Newsbusters:
“There’s a distinction we should make between racist words and speech, and racist practices and policies. We should be focused on the policies and the racial impact of policies that those Republican leaders frankly stand for,” Warren said on Tuesday’s The Last Word.
… Warren accused Republicans of racist policies, including Wisconsin’s voter ID law which was just struck down by the federal judge.
“We could go down the list,” he continued. “The minimum wage, the Congress is going to be voting on, disproportionately affects workers of color. Republicans are against that. The fact that 24 states have refused to expand Medicaid, disproportionately affects people of color, that’s a life and issue for people. It affects millions of people.”
Instead of addressing the economics of the situation, all the Left does is race bait. And let’s be clear – Warren is shaping and influencing the minds of the next generation.
This isn’t just about what some professor said – this is about the way in which liberal policies are presented as academic fact on television and to impressionable and driven students who vote and are tomorrow’s leaders.
The battleground is on the campus.
