After Colorado University (CU) professor Ward Churchill came under fire for his 2001 essay Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens (wherein he alleged that America’s long history of injustice and oppression had sown the seeds of foreign rage that eventually manifested itself in the 9/11 attacks), one of the most ardent supporters to rush to his defense was fellow CU faculty member Tom Mayer.
A professor of sociology, Mayer shares Churchill’s belief that the United States is a nation whose history is an uninterrupted narrative of bigotry and imperialistic aggression. And like Churchill, Mayer too loathes capitalism, which he (as a Marxist) deems an exploitative system that causes immense human suffering. During Churchill’s ordeal, Mayer depicted his beleaguered colleague as an eloquent voice of truth capable of rallying resistance against America’s purportedly intransigent evil.

Someone get this guy a one way ticket to North Korea.
CU wears its “multiculturalism” on its sleeve, but Boulder has historically been hostile territory for people of color, right down to their DA prosecuting black football players for having sex with “our girls.” Bunch of liberal hypocrites if you ask me.
