Stacey Patton is an academic fraud. Her PhD dissertation is pure trash, with no original research that supports her thesis. Most of the paper is just a rehashing commonly known stories of racial violence which might be appropriate if shes trying to prove the existence of racism, but she's not. She acts like shes offering a revelation that black people were treated as inferiors in this country between 1880-1950. Its all fluff designed to bias the non-academic reader towards her unsupported, racist opinions.
Patton and her socialist supporters in Montclair, New Jersey are trying to create false sources that support their invented narrative of systemic racism; Patton's thesis is somehow being extended into a book due out this October. Patton claims to be proving that all the problems facing black youth are intentional racist constructions designed to keep them down. She never comes close to correlating any of her anecdotes to any kind of policy or initiative. Her arguments are often self-defeating, pointing out that even in the contemporary time period, educators and scientists were fighting against the mass delusion of eugenics and racial superiority. She merely repeats examples of racial discrimination and violence, while no one is denying they occurred, and when they have nothing to do with the premise she's arguing.
Patton also reveals a shocking lack of awareness of 19th and early 20th century history in general. She fails to understand that only the smallest percentages of the educated public in the relevant time periods could read let alone understand academic journals; this is where most of her false examples of "policy" come from. She fails to understand that compulsory education in the United States did not become universal until 1918 and that most children didn't begin attending public school until the 1930s. Nonetheless Patton speaks as if the same public school systems that exist today existed in 1880, with near universal enrollment.
This is not surprising as Patton had no academic background in history before she was somehow admitted to Rutgers University—New Brunswick's history graduate program. In fact, she obtained a degree in "journalism" in 2001. This is shocking, as purportedly Rutgers only admits 10-15 PhD candidates annually. Why they would give preference to someone who skipped the bachelor's and graduate steps of the process is highly suspect.
Stacey Patton bears all of the telltale signs of a false academic being propped up by socialists. Socialist do not care about the truth and see history as irrelevant once they have accomplished their glorious revolution. This is not merely an issue of bad character, it's a threat to all of academics, as poorly or not at all researched topics such as this are cited on the internet as valid sources when they are not. It is also an attempt to float the myth of "systemic racism," a false socialist narrative that attempts to persuade the ignorant that the United States must go through violent revolution because "the system" is racist, avoiding any accountability for individual conduct.
Patton is trying to invent herself as an authority when in fact she is really just another racist with worthless opinions.
