Guenter Sakowski Salter's great nephew, Scott Aniol, has created quite an updated expression of the old Klandamentalism he inherited.

It's hard to know where to begin with this one, "Do Black Men Matter?"

There's nothing new in this. Yes, it's written by a Black man. But it's the same old neoliberal Klandamentalism as ever. Walker concludes:

While policymakers and politicians struggle to find answers to a wave of seemingly new cultural challenges, my father’s wisdom was rooted in the biblical foundation given to him as a boy. His instruction for hard work was rooted in the Biblical principle found in Paul’s letter to the Colossians, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” (Colossians 3:23). Additionally, Paul’s admonition to the church at Thessalonica says, “For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10).

That's just the same-old, same-old Christless, pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps, individualistic crap as always.

Nothing new here.

@ScottAniol, BJU Class of 2003, has blocked WutBJU and my personal twitter feed.

Why?

Because he tweeted this fascistic nonsense:

And I replied reminding him of his Guenter Salter heritage:

Yes, Scott's mom is Guenter Salter's niece.

And well, we all know about Guenter Salter.

Why is Scott so touchy about his heritage and Uncle Brown Shirt?

Johanna Lora Kilgus Salter might have had this recipe from her own family. Both her parents, Christian and Augusta Kilgus, were born in Germany.

SCOTUS justice Clarence Thomas in 1985 had this to say about President Ronald Reagan's mistake in aligning himself with BJU:

A lot of us were really depressed over that Bob Jones fiasco, which we knew would be trotted out ad nauseum after it happened. We knew that the appearance of what we were trying to do with the Voting Rights Act would be trotted out. Those kinds of things cause problems. Once the administration got the reputation of being anti-civil rights, it was hard to refute, regardless of the facts.

This archivist remembers then history teacher Dave Fisher chattering to Guenter Salter, then Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, during Clarence Thomas's nomination hearings that maybe BJU should consider speaking out against the nomination because of his animosity toward BJU in general. Salter shrugged and shook his head in an irritated way.

One Guenter Edward Sakowski immigrated to the United States on 27 Jun 1951 with his entire family, including his father Ernst Johann Sakowski and his mother Marie Malonik Sakowski. 

Malonik is a good Polish name. Sakowski was a good Polish JEWISH name.

Guenter was about to turn 26yo when he immigrated to Detroit with his family. A year later he married his wife Johanna Lora Kilgus. In 1954, Guenter was naturalized as an American citizen.

That’s when his father moved to Milwaukee to pastor a German Baptist church there.

That son mentioned there in the last sentence, stationed in Korea (the year after the conflict was complete), was Guenter.

Within the next three years, Guenter and his brothers -- Ernst and Reinhold -- and one sister Marlene all changed their names from Sakowski to “Salter.” Their oldest sister Maria never changed her name; she did marry Herbert Kilgus -- Guenter’s brother-in-law. 

Yes, sometime before 1957 Guenter Edward Sakowski shed his birth name and became Guenter Salter along with his brothers. Reinhold became Ron, a much-loved professor of German at Tufts University. 

Pastor Sakowski’s obituary has all their names listed confirming this shift:

But Guenter himself never, ever admitted it publicly. Notice his own obituary:

Dr. Guenter Salter, 73, of Greenville, died Saturday, June 8, 2002. Born in Bochum, Germany, Dr. Salter was retired after 30 years with Bob Jones University as a professor of German and philosophy and dean of the College of Arts and Science. He was a graduate of Wayne State University and Vanderbilt University and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He had also been a corporal in the U.S. Army Military Police. 

He doesn’t mention his own parents. Why?
