Richard Busacca, Ph. D.
Social Science 600 - Seminar in Method and Interdisciplinary Analysis 
This SFSU class is only for social science seniors. 
Dominates over black people
Heck, the guy improperly dominates every conversation, but I have noticed that he is very committed to controlling black people.  An example from class where he treated a black woman rudely was when he blurted out that the statistics she  had just mentioned from a journal article were incorrect.  Who is he to claim to be the expert on a study published in a scholarly paper.  She was presenting her findings from articles on her subject.  If he would have done that to me, I would have said, "Right, like I would believe you; no thanks, I have my good source right here.  If you want to prove it wrong, be my guest and try."  Another time he wouldn't let her volunteer for a certain day to present her articles, but it was done on the basis of people raising there hands.  He said, "No, you won't be ready yet, her name."  Busacca is obsessed with discussing the lifestyle or problems of blacks: He has went on about Afro-Cuban music, hip-hop music, public housing, Castros involvement in Angola, and how uncomfortable he was hearing his lawyer talk about his black tenant in an unfavorable light.  Right, the man who openly puts down people (Professor Kennedy or people in our class) is prudish in the mix of diverse opinions - WRONG, he is a control freak..   I believe he wants to 'manage' blacks as much as he possibly can; that tells you what his opinion of blacks is.  Yes, it was proper to say to the lawyer to please don't talk about my tenant that way; the reality is, he can't defend himself when dealing with a stronger personality.  The reality is, a far left extremist like him is not used to people telling him their contrary opinions.  Another important factor in that episode was money; Busacca was depending on his cheap lawyer to get his tenant evicted.  What an asshole to even bring up his little stories all the time.  He wants you to think he stands up for blacks, but really he thinks blacks are on a lower level, that they need constant guidance by his controlling hand. 
Obsessed with politics
He tells us about how he is steamed at the Bush administration in telling CNN not to tell about our war maneuvers, pro-abortion matters and Sweden's domestic policies that allow mothers to have their children in childcare, how Bush didn't want the U.S. to go to the "racism conference" in Africa.  He is trying to get people to think he is on the side of blacks, but I firmly believe radical lefties try very hard to keep people of color in a new form of slavery, i.e. count on the Democrat party to get you your government payments, affirmative action, and civil rights.  Being a strong Republican, I maintain that the GOP is the party of equality.  The Republican North freed the slaves and more Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  The Dems don't want you to consider those important facts, of course.  

He has dumbed down the curriculum and adopted a forceful, pro-left indoctrination agenda.  Just what it takes to produce low wage, blind-to-reality, immoral  workers who will follow the Democrat party to victory!  How original! 

Does not meet curriculum standards
He once in a while has actually taught, albeit his style would be more suited to a class of deviant prisoners or mentally retarded people.  He plays guessing games with the class.  For example, he spent way too much time demonstrating how to form a theory.  In fact that is the main thing he has covered so far.  We have spent lots of time guessing the answers he was looking for on topics such as why people cluster in hallways, why gay men may engage in risky sex, when marriages are likely to break up, and the causes and results of homelessness.  He didn't present any sources for his information, and in fact, I find it disgraceful to let the liberals in my class believe that a free market economy is a principle factor for homelessness.  That is just another example of a nutty professor hyping up liberal lies.  The dizziest girl in the class blurted out immediately the answer to the cause of homelessness - 'no price controls'.  Right away Busacca writes that on the board and goes with it.  What an asshole.   Most of our class time is playing guessing games for his little theories and presenting articles students find.  Each student has to present nine articles over the semester.  This was the class I most looked forward to this semester, but on the first day, I realized this Busacca was a dysfunctional teacher.  I would like to learn about how to do and interpret research studies, but am being cheated by this fat-cat, government worker who dishes out propaganda every day.  I am not prepared to read research studies and interpret the complex charts and statistics they use.  Our text book covers simple, political studies, but what am I to do when I open a scholarly journal or book that is much more complex than his course book, which is basically an introduction book.
Is not qualified to be the chair of the Social Science Dept.
He has a Ph. D. in political science as I understand.  There is a political science program at SFSU in the College of Political Science, so why is he qualified to chair the social science program?  I have yet to hear that one.  He has a dirty mouth and mind.  His favorite curse word for his classroom performances is 'motherfucker'.  On the first or second day of class he told us about a student's paper that dealt with a pro-child sex agenda.  He didn't just mention it, he described the argument and then he has brought up that paper on other days in class.  The man is a total radical who insults my sensitive nature.  He tells us stories from his personal life - his trouble with past tenants (he is a landlord, don't you know), his sit-ins at Berkeley in the '60s, and how he had to adapt to changing sex roles in the era of his youth.
