Professor: Riots in Baltimore a Result of "White Privilege"
Pundit Press ^ | 4/28/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 04/28/2015 10:52:39 AM PDT by rightistight

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?”

...so professor Pogue, since many of the leadership and officers in Baltimore are black, are you saying that black people can benefit from white privilege?

I can agree that it is the result of the 'perception of white privilege'.
Real, or fantasized, it does not matter.

In a healthy society, you take the hand you are dealt, and run with it.
The unique approach taken by the communist termites in America (Media, Politicians, Educrats) is to constantly beat on the 'white privilege' drums: You are a victim due to someone else (or more appropriately - some other classification of people). It is never your fault - it is someone else's fault. Thus it is fine to lash out.
With this type of brainwashing, the resultant actions are not a surprise.
And guess what? You never get better by not identifying the source of your problem - yourself.

No,no,no,its *every* white person’s fault. To be accepted by the charming and obviously superior militants and radicals of color,we must do penance at the altar of political correctness,publicly aplologize for our Caucasian DNA, and surrender our jobs and possesions over to underprivileged militants who have the Seal of Approval from the Feds and Al Sharptongue.

That’s precisely what you are doing, Professor.

White Privilege...oh yeah, is that like Black Entitlement? - you know, like my great-great-great-great grandfather might have been a slave, so I get special consideration for jobs, schools, legal standards - and I also get to burn down whatever I ant to express my anger and frustration at whatever comes along......

Yes, you are. You're just too stupid to see it.

I do not approve of muggings. At the same time, I hope Cody Pogue is mugged and beat down by the same type of lawless creeps he is excusing. Any cops nearby when it happens should remain bystanders.

That was directed to Perfesser Pogue, not you. Translates to “kiss my a$$”.
