Pickens, SAE, and the Politics of misplaced shame

T Boone Pickens is embarrassed of Obama, the first black President, but not publicly embarrassed of his fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

He makes comments about "getting rid of" Obama and even compares the decision to not approve Keystone XL as trying to "understand murder."

What world does Pickens live in? Who dotes on him as a sage? http://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/pickens-calgary-im-so-sorry-about-the-keystone-pipeline




Meanwhile, in Oklahoma at OU....the guy who "defended" Tim Mcveigh is set to represent SAE fraternity as they earn an expulsion for racist practices. Jones ran against OU President, David Boren, for US Senate in 1990, and lost.

Why Pickens chooses to apologize on behalf of America, supposedly, to the Canadian people follows other intentional GOP insults in the news with Netanyahu, and a "letter" to Iran...

And Oliver North speaks to the Freedom Rally of "social conservatives" here in Portland.

If it looks a bit totalitarian, no problem.

OK always seems to think it is ALL ok.

rhodes scholars, fraternities, segregationists one and all

Racism on campuses? Look to the foundations of illegitimate elitism, colonialism, and segregation by gender, race, and class.

Who "runs" the world? Those with a leg-up, or a Pistorious as they say.

Women were not allowed to be Rhodes Scholars until laws changed in 1977.

Bill Clinton, no problem...Hillary? Use the side door.

Look to the history of Cecil Rhodes, a blatant racist and colonialist whose entire philosophy is based on running countries for those "unfit indigenous" peoples around the globe. Obviously, women were unfit as well, to lead politically or in business regards.
