Black History Month Speaker to Trash Civil Rights Movement “The Nuclear Reaction to Jesse Jackson”

Bristol, RI February 8, 2004—Entertainer, entrepreneur, and lecturer Reginald Jones will speak on “How the Civil Rights Movement Destroyed the Black Community.” The lecture will take place at Roger Williams University’s main campus in Bristol on Wednesday, February 18 in the College of Arts and Sciences building, room 157. Also included in Jones’s speech will be commentary on “how Black History Month is a ploy to spread socialism”, and “how diversity initiatives on college campuses are worse than a disease”.

Enthusiastic responses to an appearance by Jones on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show in 1997 led to the formation of his own national show, “Grassroots Live” on National Empowerment Television, followed by “Generation Now” on the Radio America Network. Jones has also appeared on the Fox News Channel, MSNBC, CNBC, C-SPAN, CBS Radio, America’s Black Forum, and “The Right Side” with Armstrong Williams.

Before the talk, Jones will present the 1st Annual White Scholarship Award given to a student of “non-color”. The scholarship was created by the College Republicans at Roger Williams University (RWU).

The lecture is sponsored by the RWU College Republicans (www.rwucr.com) and the Young America’s Foundation (www.yaf.org). It will last one hour and will be followed by a one-hour question-and-answer session

1. RWU?

Right Wing University?

edited to add: at least he's a black man discussing the topics stated,that carries alot more weight than other choices.

2. I just saw the AP article on Salon -- what a bunch of idiots.

I was under the impression that you didn't need a high school diploma to get into Roger Williams. When I went to college in RI we would go there to party, the kids I knew there were a bunch of dolts. I guess some of them still are.

3. Everyone should apply

then endorse the check to the United Negro College Fund. I bet they'd get a nice "Thanks" from the UNCF

4. I've seen him on C-Span...

He was talking at the Young Conservatives Forum. He must be one of Jesse Lee Petersen's disciples (victims). Right wing doesn't begin to describe this guy.

5. Okay- RAAAACISSSST!!!! (wagging & pointing finger)

How was that???

Seriously though- I think most people can see that theirs is an appeal to the absurd...I think we can call them on it by laughing at these apes...

White pride? Next they will be writing "folk songs" about gated communities, private school, and the country club...

6. They were just on CNN

What a joke the head of the group is on a Hispanic Student scholarship.
