Racist Teacher at the University of Hawaii

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2003-06-25 07:01pm

She wrote this poem:

Racist White Woman

I could kick

Your face, puncture

Both eyes.

You deserve this kind

Of violence.

No more vicious

Tongues, obscene

Lies.

Just a knife

Slitting your tight

Little heart.

For all my people

Under your feet

For all those years

Lived smug and wealthy

Off our land

Parasite arrogant

A fist

In your painted

Mouth, thick

With money

And piety

But she's a minority, so it's OK. Taken from here.

WTF kind of a shitty poem is that supposed to be?

Someone needs to tell her to go put on a grass skirt and hula dance topless for US dollars.

Juvenile work. I wrote better poetry with violence themes when I was in the 3rd grade.

The government of Hawaii asked for annexation and received it. The affairs of Hawaii before that point were not our business, and it has been well documented that we did not provide any support to the factions that deposed the Queen (and then asked for annexation when they'd formed a Republic).

Essentially, the only complaint Hawaiians have is the fact that a white minority government was in power when the annexation occured. The USA, though, didn't put that government there--so it was an entirely domestic incident that brought about the union. They need to recognize that the incident--happening more than a hundred years ago--was simply the inevitable result of the white immigrants to Hawaii gaining economic power through buying up land, and then not wanting to live under an absolute monarch. Tough luck, but now they live in a pluralistic society where they are, technically, part of the most successful minority group (Asians and Pacific Islanders), and honestly have very little to complain about--far less than inner-city blacks, at any rate!

Secession ain't happening. The South couldn't do it, and I highly doubt she can. Only way you leave the Union is feet first.

On that note, send in the MOABs.

Heh.

I guess Jaime Glazov is right when he says that the last home of the loonie left in the USA is in academia.

Although I am not an American I believe that Hawai is a part of the US and should continue to stay that way.

so if i wrote a poem like this

self rightous brown colored bitch.
you make my trigger finger itch.
with your self rightous moans,
and your arrogant tones,
i'll shut off your life like a switch.

would it be racist? because she gets away with it.
and i apologise to any people i offend with this poem, i only use it to make a point, and i wish you no ill will.

There has got to be a clause in her contract that would allow her dissmissle for doing harm to the school. Being a major ass and projecting bad PR on the school has got to be a canning offense.

The Japanese will probably just buy them.

I haven't read such pathetic poetry since William Carlos Williams.

What crap poetry. Why the fuck do people break up sentences like that? Do they think it makes them look cool? ARG!

And that's not even mentioning what she wrote, which is pretty God damned stupid in and of itself.

Link doesn't work for me.

Plus, there were LOTS of problems with Hawaii's Annexation.

Don't be so sure. At my school (St. Xavier in Chicago), one of our professors, Peter Kirstein, brought a nationwide shitstorm down on the school because of a letter he wrote to an Air Force cadet while acting in his capacity as head of the history department. It got way more publicity than this, but he's still here.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-06-28 01:06am

What'd he write?

Sack her now.

I like your response, Crackpot

The cadet wrote to ask Kirstein if any Xavier faculty were interested in partipipating in some sort of political science gathering sponsored by the Air Force Academy. Kirstein fired off an extremely abusive response that basically boiled down to, "Fuck you, you racist fascist babykilling scum, etc." (Not all his exact words, but that's the essence of what he said.) He did this with his work account and signed it, "Prof. Kirstein, Head of Political Science and History at St. Xavier," etc. The mail eventually found its way onto an e-mail list, at which point it spread all over the internet.
As one might expect, this created a firestorm of public anger. Kirstein was reprimanded and suspended from teaching for the rest of the semester. He retains his position, however. He spent the semester that just finished on sabbatical (this had already been planned before the incident), but he should be back in the fall.
