Even More Fascist “Gleich-schaltung”* At Stockton U.: “We Are Infusing Race And ‘Racial Justice’ Throughout Our Curriculum”

by Seth Grossman

Last month, Stockton University President Harvey Kesselman spoke at its “Black History Month” march and rally. Kesselman said, “We proclaim our commitment to the dismantling of ‘systemic racism’. . . We are infusing race and racial justice throughout our curriculum”. This technique of promoting a political agenda through every course, class and activity in every school and college was called “gleich-schaltung” by Hitler’s “National Socialists (called NAZIonalsozialisti or Nazis in Mussolini’s Italy) in 1930s Germany.

Donnetrice Allison, a professor of “Africana Studies” and member of the university’s “Council of Black Faculty and Staff” then gave details.  Allison announced that she had sent a proposal to the New Jersey State Senate requiring that “The R Attribute” become a required course needed to graduate in all fields.  The new course would “examine the role of ‘racism’ within each field because ‘racism’ “is in every field.”  Allison said “Every major that you have,  you need to spend some time talking about how racism is at play within this major”.

Allison also touched on the importance of Black students seeking out Black teachers, and Black teachers seeking out Black students “to connect with them”.  She recalled that when she was a student years ago, she was a member of the “Black Student Union”.  She said that when a black teacher was hired to teach “African-American literature”, all members of the Black Student registered for the course.

In 2017, a statue of Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and namesake of the University, was removed after the Student Senate held a trial and ruled that Stockton was a slaveowner.  That charge is dubious, as Richard Stockton and his family were Quakers with a long history of fighting to end slavery.  However, Stockton’s Student Senate did not let anyone defend Richard Stockton or speak on his behalf at its “trial” which was more like a lynching.  In 2017, Stockton also called for an investigation by campus police and the Atlantic County prosecutor when it found three flyers for “Identity Evropa” posted on a public bulletin board “without permission”.

“Identity Evropa” is an organization that claims it its website that it wants “all ethnic and racial groups to have somewhere in the world to call home” and that there should be such a home for “people of European heritage”.

This is certainly a racist idea.  However, is it any more racist than Stockton’s “Africana Studies” program.  “Black History Month”, Black Lives Matter, “Council of Black Faculty and Staff” or “Black Students Union” which systematically exclude or discriminate against whites, yet are permitted and funded by the University?  Would Stockton permit a white professor to urge white students to “seek out white teachers and for white teachers to seek out white students”?  Aren’t these all examples of “systemic racism”.

Last June, Stockton’s Campus Police and its “Director of Care and Community Standards” investigated a graduate student who not only had a poster of President Trump as his background for a Zoom meeting, but claimed he was willing to fight for his right to freely express his opinions.  Stockton then set up a hearing to determine whether that student should be punished with suspension or forced attendance at a “Social Justice Workshop.:.  Click here for details.

Black History” began in the 1920’s. Its purpose then was to refute the hateful lies and ugly stereotypes against blacks contained in the 1915 Hollywood movie “Birth of a Nation”. That movie was used by Democrats to revive the long dead KKK and terrorize blacks out of voting in the 1916 elections against “progressive” Democratic President Woodrow Wilson. Blacks at that time voted overwhelmingly for Republicans, and Wilson was narrowly re-elected. Click here for details.

While Your Kids Are Home, Ask What They Know About Christmas 1776

by Seth Grossman

While Your Kids and Grandkids Are Home, Tell Them How George Washington Saved America and Changed The World on Christmas Day, 1776.

There was no re-enactment of Washington's crossing of the Delaware River this Christmas Day. It was another casualty of the Wuhan Virus and government's response to it.

During normal times, several thousand visitors gather at noon each Christmas Day at the Washington Crossing Historic Park just north of Trenton, New Jersey.  There they stand for hours to watch dozens of re-enactors dressed as George Washington and his soldiers of the state militias and Continental Army of 1776 board large wooden boats and row from Bucks County, Pennsylvania to the New Jersey side. This is done to remember what George Washington and his 2400 American volunteers did on that remarkable Christmas night of 1776.

That original crossing is depicted in the iconic 1851 painting by German artist Emanuel Leutze. That crossing began ten fateful days in New Jersey that saved America and changed the world.

German artist, Emanuel Leutze -1851 painting

German artist Emanuel Leutze had no idea what the Delaware River looked like when he painted this. However, he brilliantly captured the spirit of Americans fighting for and winning their freedom and inspiring Europeans to do the same. Unfortunately, Germans, Poles and others who fought to establish an American-style constitutional republic in Europe in 1848, were crushed by the German, Russian, and French armies of kings and princes.  Many of these defeated German and other European rebels  fled to the United States, where they actively opposed slavery and supported  efforts by Abraham Lincoln and the the new Republican Party to end it.

Just over six months before that crossing, on July 4, 1776, representatives of thirteen British colonies in North America met in Philadelphia, and approved a document known as our Declaration of Independence .  As President Abraham Lincoln later explained, that Declaration was about far more than the mere matter of the separation of the Colonies from the motherland".

It also declared that our new nation would be guided by these “self-evident” truths:

"Each of us is created equal. Each of us is endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among us, deriving their just powers with the consent of the governed-- That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness".

Abraham Lincoln at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on 2/22/1861: “I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence”. Lincoln’s strongest political feelings were that slavery in America was an evil sin that must be eliminated, and that most authors of our Constitution intended and expected its “ultimate extinction” in the near future.

Five months later, American independence and those words that inspired it seemed as dead as thousands of patriots in Ireland, Scotland, and India who fought and died in previous failed rebellions against corrupt and dictatorial British aristocrats.

One week after the Declaration of Independence was signed and published in Philadelphia, a massive British invasion fleet arrived in New York Harbor. Its 300 warships and 400 transports brought 30,000 well paid, trained, and disciplined British and German soldiers to Staten Island New York.  The German soldiers were rented to the British by Hesse and other small German states to fund their governments while reducing taxes.  These German soldiers, often called Hessians, were well paid, equipped, and trained, and considered among the bravest and most effective soldiers in Europe.

During the next three months, British soldiers and their German, or Hessian auxiliaries overwhelmed George Washington’s 10,000 poorly trained volunteers defending Long Island and Manhattan, They killed or captured half of the Americans. The German Hessians were especially brutal. They used bayonets to execute hundreds of Americans after they dropped their weapons, raised their hands and surrendered at Brooklyn Heights.

In November, 1776, George Washington and his 5,000 remaining soldiers crossed the Hudson River. They tried to make a stand in Hackensack with support from New Jersey militias. However, those militias failed to appear.  Without their support, Washington’s men were badly outnumbered. They had to quickly flee towards Philadelphia to avoid capture. They didn’t stop retreating until after they crossed the Delaware River into Pennsylvania.  They seized every boat on the Jersey side of the river so that the British could not pursue them.

That December, a disgusted George Washington wrote a letter to his brother saying:

“The conduct of the Jerseys has been most infamous. Instead of turning out to defend their country. . . they are making their submissions as fast as they can. . . The few militias that were in arms disbanded themselves. . . and left the poor remains of our army to make the best we could of it”.

Patriot journalist Thomas Paine was with Washington’s army and was just as angry. He said the British left Massachusetts and the rest of New England alone and chose to invade and occupy New York and New Jersey because “New England was not infested with Tories (British sympathizers), and we are!”

Thomas Paine was particularly angry at one “noted Tory who kept a tavern in Amboy, New Jersey”.  According to Paine, that Tory agreed that Americans would sooner or later have to fight for independence from the British Empire. However, as he stood next to his 8 year old child, the Tory said he would not help George Washington’s soldiers because he wanted “peace in my day”.

This infuriated Thomas Paine, who wrote,

“A generous parent should have said, ‘If there must be trouble, let it be in my day so that my child may have peace!’ Paine continued “This single reflection, well applied is sufficient to awaken every man to his duty”.

Thomas Paine’s experience in New Jersey inspired him to write and publish a pamphlet called The American Crisis on December 23, 1776. It began with these words:

These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

While Thomas Paine was writing, George Washington’s battered soldiers got help from a most unlikely source–  Quaker farmers from South Jersey who were known to be pacifists! Quakers came to America because they opposed the wars Britain was fighting against Spain, France, and Holland.  Those pacifist Quakers included William Penn who established Philadelphia. They also included the Smith, Somers, Risley, Scull, Conover, and Leeds families who settled near what is now Atlantic City.

However, once in America, these Quakers slowly changed their thinking.  They still still believed that God did not permit them to fight wars of conquest or aggression.   However, Benjamin Franklin wrote that many of these American Quakers in and around Philadelphia came to believe that God permitted them to build and buy weapons for self-defense.  They believed God permitted them to kill if necessary to defend themselves, their families, their towns  and villages against anyone who attacked them.  Later, these Quakers became known as “fighting Quakers”.

When German soldiers hired by the British occupied Central Jersey, they began stealing food, destroying property, and abusing women in the Quaker towns and farms they occupied.

Companies of militias with “fighting Quakers” throughout southern and central Jersey began to fight back. One of them was the Gloucester County Militia led by Colonel Richard Somers of Somers Point. Colonel Somers was the father of the future Barbary Wars/Tripoli navy hero with his same name. At that time, Gloucester County included what are now Camden and Atlantic Counties.

The words of Thomas Paine and the actions of these “fighting Quakers” persuaded Washington to return to New Jersey and attack the 1,200 Germans (Hessian) troops who had occupied Trenton.

On Christmas Day, 1776, Washington’s George Washington assembled a force of 2,400 soldiers, 200 horses, and 18 cannons in the woods near the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River just north of Trenton.  When it got dark, they began crossing the river in large wooden rowboats.

At that time, it began to rain.  During the night it got colder, the winds picked up, and the rain changed to sleet, then snow, then freezing rain.  Washington hoped to complete the crossing by midnight, and attack Trenton while it was still dark.  However, the bad weather delayed the crossing by three hours. Daylight came while Washington’s men were still marching south towards Trenton.  Two of Washington’s exhausted soldiers fell and died from the cold.

When the Americans arrived at Trenton, Henry Knox and his assistant, 21 year old Alexander Hamilton, skillfully deployed their 18 cannons. At 8 am, George Washington personally led the attack. The Hessians came out, formed a line, and fired a the Americans. However, the Germans were mowed down by American cannon fire.

Henry Knox was a bookseller from Boston with no military training. He learned to operate cannons by reading books. The previous year, Knox helped George Washington drive the British out of Boston by transporting 59 captured British cannons from Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York 300 miles away.  Knox surprised the Hessians at Trenton a year later at Trenton by “keeping his powder dry” in a windy, freezing rainstorm.  Knox did it by using the same wax seals and packaging he used to keep books dry when he shipped them to customers.

The Americans killed 22 Hessians,  including their commander. Another 83 were wounded, and roughly 900 more were taken prisoners.  The Americans suffered no deaths other than the two who died from the cold.  Five more Americans were wounded.  News of this lopsided victory by the Americans against the most feared soldiers of Europe quickly spread throughout America and the world.

The British tried to minimize the impact of their defeat by inventing fake news about the battle. The British falsely claimed that their German auxiliaries were defeated because they were half drunk or asleep from a late night Christmas party.  The truth was that the Germans were very prepared.  Their sentries quickly spotted the Americans and sounded the alarm.  The Hessians quickly grabbed their weapons and lined up for battle.  They were tired because smaller groups of Americans had been attacking them for weeks, including the night before.  The Germans did not have patrols out the night before only because nobody thought an entire army could assemble, march, and “keep its powder dry” in such horrible weather.

The Americans did not punish the captured Germans for their brutality against surrendering Americans three months before in Brooklyn, New York.  George Washington specifically ordered his soldiers to “treat them with humanity”. It was a propaganda coup. The German prisoners wrote letters home to Germany praising the Americans.  This caused widespread opposition in Germany to the renting of more of their soldiers to the British.  It also persuaded many Hessian soldiers to desert to the Americans.  After the war, about 5,000 Hessian soldiers settled in America rather than return to Germany.  Many sent for their families in Germany to join them.

After learning of Washington’s attack, General Charles Cornwallis, the British commander, quickly marched his main British Army of 8,000 men to Trenton.  At first, it looked like most of George Washington’s army would disappear before the British got there.  The enlistments for most of the American soldiers expired on December 31.   However, George Washington persuaded most of them to stay for another month by making an emotional personal appeal, and by persuading Congress to supply a $10 hard money bonus for each man.

On January 2, 1777, Washington’s outnumbered forces stood their ground in the Battle of Assunpink Creek, often known as the Second Battle of Trenton.   The British then prepared to overwhelm the Americans the following day.  However, Washington instead quietly marched his army out of Trenton that night, and attacked the British from behind at nearby Princeton the next day, January 3.

News of these three victories, and the inspiring words of Thomas Paine, quickly spread throughout the American colonies. Thousands of young Americans volunteered to join Washington’s army. There would be five more years of hardship and struggle. However, American independence, liberty and prosperity were all saved during those ten fateful days in New Jersey that began with Washington’s Crossing of the Delaware on Christmas night in 1776.

Years later, in 1941, America ended the Holocaust and saved Europe from Hitler and Communism. America also saved China and East Asia from mass murder and brutal invasion and occupation by Imperial Japan. Without the America that was saved during those ten days in New Jersey that began on Christmas, 1776, today’s world would be a much darker place.

Democrat Suleiman’s racialist comment about “GOP base”

Atlantic County Democrat Party Chairman Michael Suleiman today issued a press statement in which he made racialist comments about the “GOP base”.  Suleiman said:  “They (the GOP) never miss an opportunity to not stand up to their base.” 

What does Suleiman mean by the “GOP base”?

Does he mean “property taxpayers”?

Maybe he means “religious Christians and Jews”?

Or the “unionized working class” that his own party once represented?

Or is he making a snide reference to “white Christians”?

Suleiman needs to explain himself because he holds a taxpayer-funded patronage job and some of the people he might be disparaging pay his very generous salary, benefits, and perks.  In March 2018, the Democrats gave Suleiman a public job as the lobbyist for the South Jersey Transportation Authority.

While the Democrats cut school funding across New Jersey, guys like Suleiman get paid.  Of course, Suleiman supports Murphy’s illegal Sanctuary State scheme that bullies law enforcement into ignoring the findings of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission).

Suleiman is a made member of a corrupt political machine.  He would support a horseshoe crab for office if his party told him to.  Suleiman’s Twitter page is filled with selfies featuring the love-struck Suleiman with Hillary Clinton, Phil Murphy, and Cory Booker.  Talk about having some explaining to do – we’re surprised this moron didn’t feature panegyrics to Jeff Epstein and Al Alvarez. 

Oh, and we wonder what Suleiman thinks about this stunt by Cory Booker…

While attacking taxpayer advocate Seth Grossman, Suleiman ignored this anti-Jewish prank by Cory Booker.  What does Suleiman have against taxpayers like Grossman?

But wait… in his statement, Suleiman compounds his racialism by making ethnic (and racial) assumptions about who comes into the United States illegally. He makes the claim that it is “race-baiting” to oppose illegal immigration.  That is a horrible generalization.  The term “illegal” does not denote a racial or ethnic group.

For Suleiman’s information of the 707,265 LEGAL immigrants who became LEGAL naturalized American citizens in 2017, 17 percent were from Mexico (118,559), followed by 7 percent from India (50,802), 5 percent each from China (37,674) and the Philippines (36,828), and about 4 percent each from the Dominican Republic (29,734) and Cuba (25,961).  Nationals of these six countries accounted for 42 percent of all naturalizations.  Other leading countries of origin included Vietnam (19,323 or 3 percent), El Salvador (16,941, 2 percent), Colombia (16,184, 2 percent), and Jamaica (15,087, 2 percent).

In common with many Democrats, Michael Suleiman uses race as a measurement for every human interaction.  People who do this – who think in terms of “people of color” – are called racialists.  Wikipedia notes that “Racialism is the belief that the human species is naturally divided into races, that are ostensibly distinct biological categories.”

The philosopher W.E.B. DuBois argued that racialism was merely the philosophical position that races existed, and that collective differences existed among such categories.  DuBois held that racialism was a value-neutral term and differed from racism in that the latter required advancing the argument that one race is superior to other races of human beings.

But science has largely erased such arguments.  Aside from some genetic correlations in the incidence of diseases in this subset or that, the idea of “racial identity” that is forced down every American child’s throat, that haunts our society in everything from census forms to employment applications, is entirely a political construct.  The American idea of “race” is nonsense and calling people “racist” is a nonsense game.  The actor Morgan Freeman got it right…

The Democrats’ insistence on the primacy of race is an inverted return to their past.  Like then, Democrats today are obsessed with what measure of blood from this group or that flows through someone’s veins.  They seem to forget that our blood – the blood of our common humanity – is categorized, not in terms like Black or White or “of color” or “not of color” – but as O, A, B, and AB.

The Democrats need to end their obsession… and embrace humanity.
