Wonder what kind of grade he'd get on this if he turned it in as part of his course work in say, an English writing or a sociology class.
He would be stigmatized
Former Prof. Richard Falk, now of UN infamy for his anti-Israel stances, was a longtime law professor at Princeton, along with other far-leftists and communists (the other old Communist Party USA clique of law professors was at Rutgers, led by Arthur Kinoy, a veteran Stalinist who worked on the faux Rosenbergs appeal.
Falk’s poison is apparent in this “Privilege” assault on white students as his anti-American, marxist hatred legacy is deep and long.
I’m glad that a Jewish student has stood up to Princeton’s self-imposed “quota” and anti-white attacks. Like the writer, I’m from a Holocaust devastated family and know what both “quotas” are as well as “German privilege” policies.
We know when the anti-semitic, now also anti-white/Christian, mobs are inside the gates, this time in academia. Our “canary in the mine” antennae were up decades ago and now they are permanently up, be it at any California university, Brandeis, Princeton, CUNY, NYU, Wayne State, Florida State, Northwestern Un., Un. of Illinois, Chicago, or at DePaul.
The convergence of the white marxists, black extremists, Hispanic irredentists, and Arab/Moslem jihadists/sharia uber alles folks, is the penultimate poisoning force of the mind on any campus. The ultimate shame is that too many professors have joined in this “hate group”, including many self-hating Jewish profs who should have learned something in European History, if no place else.
The liberals of the 60’s have poisoned the well of education and many of them are on campus as teachers to make sure that new supplies of mental poison are added on a continuing basis.
If the alumni don’t fight back now, kiss the major universities good by.
Mr. Fortgang didn't write this essay anonymously. Thanks to Chickensoup, I've since learned that the site I found erred in attributing this to "anonymous."
Mr. Fortgang's initial essay - written under his name - appeared in The Princeton Tory, "[a] journal of conservative and moderate thought."
The overwhelming majority of comments at that site essentially tell him to shut his white-privileged mouth, and that his family story doesn't matter because he's white-privileged because he's white.
One comment points out that Mr. Fortang's family story of a few generations of inconvenience (okay, I made up the 'inconvenience' part) doesn't compare with the 300 years of oppression that blacks have suffered in America. I think to myself "300 years. Hmmm. Gee, I can't think of any oppression that Jewish individuals have ever suffered throughout history (tongue firmly planted in cheek)."
It's well worth reading ten or fifteen comments, if just to get an idea about how Mr. Fortang will be treated at Princeton after publication of this essay.
