According to Professor Cody Pogue, the riots occurring in Baltimore are, in part, due to white privilege. Pogue teaches at Houston Community College and San Jacinto College.
Today Pogue wrote an article titled, “The Baltimore riots within the context of White Privilege.”
His article begins, “I do not approve of the riots in Baltimore. At the same time, I do not understand what else we expect them to do. Numerous studies have proven that, in America today, white people are more privileged than black people.”
Pogue then writes about “white privilege,” saying that, “White people nearly always get the benefit of the doubt, but black people rarely ever do. White people are considered hard working until they prove themselves to be lazy, but black people are considered lazy until they prove to be hard working.”
He continues on about white privilege for several more paragraphs. He concludes this sentiment, writing, “In America, we subject an entire race of people to this unfair treatment” and then “we send white police officers into their communities who often expect them to be criminals in the first place. Then those white police officers mistreat them and often wrongfully kill them. Then we expect them to smile and take it.”
...“Don’t get me wrong,” Pogue pleads, “I am not making excuses for people who commit crimes… But instead of directing all of our anger to these desperate people who feel that they have no other choice, why don’t we direct our anger toward a system that has made them this desperate? Why don’t we direct our energy to bringing about change? Why don’t we end the system of privilege that advantages white people over black people every day?”

What this confused academic is attacking is the multi-generational pursuits of families, whose methodology (not "system of privilege") should be emulated, not changed.
This is a prime example of what I am about to post on the Web as an exposition of A "Gift" That Keeps On Taking. The link is to a second to final draft, but should make a point. The lady is right about one thing; some of the "protestor"/looter/arsonists, probably do have a grievance, even if they do not know it. Had it not been for the idiotic propaganda of the Academic Left over the past two generations, blaming conduct that should instead have been emulated, American urban communities would never have become so socially corrupt and self-destructive.
“we send white police officers into their communities who often expect them to be criminals in the first place”
“Cops in Baltimore be Bruthas. Including da chief. Next excuse.”
Remember, THE TRUTH NO LONGER MATTERS.
The only thing that matters in the world of today is how the media SPINS THE APPROVED MEME.
“Send him to Baltimore somhe can explain that to the rioters”
Or send him to Africa to check out the countries that are run by blacks. “Black Privilege” reigns there and I doubt that he’d stay long.

Shanty Irish bog-trotter.
Anything to keep from blaming it on Democrat policies.
There is a sickness that pervades way too many institutions of higher indoctrinations..
Professors like this are just symptoms that will not go away. No matter how much money you pour into them. They are unworthy of their positions. Jmho
“White people nearly always get the benefit of the doubt, but black people rarely ever do.”
And these riots are a perfect example of why that is.
Professor?
Professor?
Onlu due to quotas, you ignorant b*stard.
THE correlating factor deciding prosperity or poverty.
What is a “Cody Pogue”
“His article begins, “I do not approve of the riots in Baltimore. At the same time, I do not understand what else we expect them to do.”
This is what Mark Levin referred to the other night about condemning out of the left side of the mouth, while saying “I understand” out of the right side.
“Numerous studies have proven that, in America today, white people are more privileged than black people.”
And that has nothing to do with Freddie Gray, who is supposed to be the reason for all of this.
“...“Don’t get me wrong,” Pogue pleads, “I am not making excuses for people who commit crimes… But instead of directing all of our anger to these desperate people who feel that they have no other choice”
Sorry, bud, but when you start saying grown men and women “have no other choice” but to loot and burn the property of business owners and/or harm innocent people who had nothing to do with anything, you’re making excuses.
There is always a choice.
code words and excuse for social justice, class and pressure group warfare, political correctness,and affirmative action
Just came across this website for rating professors...

For 48 years, or since 1967, Baltimore has been governed exclusively by Democratic mayors and city councils.
For 28 years, or since 1987, Democrats have controlled both of Maryland's seats in the U.S. Senate.
Democrats currently compose NINE of Maryland's ten-member Congressional delegation.
For the first two years of Hussein's presidency, he and his party controlled both houses of congress and the White House.
If anyone other than the thugs are to blame for what is happening in Baltimore it is the Democrats who have allowed it to happen.
What-ever, dude.
