Mary (Black Maria) Mitchell about a black commentator:
[Garrard] McClendon was stunned that after working so long without a contract, CLTV, which is owned by the Chicago Tribune Company, pulled the plug rather than pay him what he felt he was worth.
He may have been stunned, but so what? How many listeners or viewers did he have? Does Mitchell know? As for feeling underpaid, in this he may join millions of the same persuasion, each about himself or herself.
McClendon, who taught school for 17 years and holds a Ph.D. in education, told me that he basically thinks he was being paid under scale.
What’s the relevance of the Ph.D. etc.? Performance, not credentials, count.
There are few black male commentators working in the Chicago market. Cliff Kelley on WVON is the only one that immediately comes to mind. Since Chicago has such a large African-American population, the absence of the black male perspective is insulting.
To whom? People didn’t want to listen to this guy, and blacks are insulted? Not unless they like getting worked up

Not that the degree even matters, but I’ve never heard of a “Ph.D.” in education, as opposed to a D.Ed., which is the least intellectually demanding doctorate in existence. All you have to do is tow the multicultural, totalitarian line, and you’re in. Fail to tow the line, and you’re out, no matter how brilliant an educational thinker you are. Indeed, the open carrying of intellect is a disqualifying factor in an ed school application.
The intellectual poverty of teacher ed programs, and the fact that the majority of black doctorates are obtained in education is no coincidence.
I hadn’t read the genocidal black supremacist Mitchell in over a year. I see that I didn’t miss anything.

P.S. Note that Mitchell botched her closing:
“If it doesn’t, it will be CLTV’s lost and someone else’s gain.”
