He reminds me of the many white liberals that get upset that I married a white woman and "didn't stick to my race".

BS on both counts, but Putnam explicitly classifies himself as "progressive" in a speech the day after this event at the T.B. Fordham foundation.
YES! YES! YES!
All their grievance groups - first, foremost and ALWAYS, it's about the socialist revolution.
That's their agenda, to correct the sin of "white male privilege;" 'cause to the useful idiots (as told to them by their racebaiting leaders) it isn't their fault that they haven't succeeded, it's ALWAYS someone else - never is it the Democratic Party policies that have corrupted their lives.
And now the Left wants us to foot the bill for FREE college, and paychecks for the rabid ideologues that twist what America is about.
The article is all about me, myself, and I. Someone typically develops narcissism during their teenage years as a protective response to emotional pain. The snowball can start rolling over something serious like being abandoned by one or both parents as in the case of Barky, or something as simple as not being invited to a birthday party.
All libtardism is vanity.
Here is what I could not post to you because I was on a device that didn’t have the links:
Robert Putnam is explicitly political.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpsfmR2uHvU 22:55 “I am a progressive.”
He then goes on.
“There’s a presidential candidate who yesterday quoted me as saying that therefore, he’s quoting me as saying, all black men are sexual predators. I’m not going to say who it is…” 23:06
An internet search on “Robert Putnam all black men are sexual predators” returns a Newmax article quoting a Buzzfeed article quoting Rick Santorum as follows: “Now these fathers leave the home and not just father children with that particular women, they father a child with another women, and another and another. We have created predators…” (http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/rick-santorum-men-who-father-children-with-multiple-women-ar?utm_term=4ldqpia#.mfBX3JooB) Rick Santorum never says “black.”
Liberals can not have an honest discussion about race because TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.

But as I've been hammering on lately in pieces about Hillary Clinton, the '90s are over. What made political sense in 1996 doesn't make nearly as much sense today. Like the Democratic Party coalition, the country is not as white as it used to be. And the young Americans whose backing liberals will need to push the Democrats and the country to the left are the primary reason. If it was always true that the progressive movement could not afford to take the support of non-white Americans for granted, it's exponentially more true now, when the energy and vitality of the progressive movement is so overwhelmingly the product of social movements -- like the Fight for $15 or #BlackLivesMatter -- driven by people of color. As Hillary Clinton seems to understand, a key component of smart politics is to meet your voters and your activists where they are, rather than where history or the conventional wisdom tells you they should be.
He also looks like he just got a driver’s license, or maybe his learner’s permit.
And got an orifice reamed.
Talk about convoluted... the 'people of color' crap has to stop. Blacks prop up white liberal elites. White liberal elites get what they want - they get the gold mine. Blacks get the shaft.
Blacks are played for fools by 'progressives'... over and over and over again. Liberal elites feed them the same lies every election - and have for decades... and white elites NEVER come through for blacks. NO PROMISES ARE KEPT TO BLACKS.
Each year things are worse for blacks.
Asians aren't going to fall for that crap for decades like blacks have... Hard working Christian Hispanics aren't going to fall for it for long either..
Progressives need to get a grip. Even blacks are catching on to the fact that 1. either liberal elites are lying to them... OR 2. White liberal elite ideas don't work.
(It's both... but that's a different post.)

White leftists are the biggest problem in this country.
Well, he looks like he’d enjoy that.
Thank you for the information and links.
A related article (on the consequences of being abandoned by fathers).

“It’s been a troubling semester, but not because many of my students passively and/or actively resist the knowledge that I try to pass on to them. It’s been frustrating not merely because government regulations and mandates have made me into a secretary filling out a myriad of online forms. It’s been disheartening not only because leftist propaganda surrounds me and I am but one small voice in the academic desert trying to teach true American core values.
No, it’s been a sad and sometimes heartbreaking semester because many college students’ assorted troubles are related to the fact that they are bereft of wholesome father figures. The combination of resentment, hurt, anger, and defiant pride run through their writings. It affects everything they do, from having trust issues with the opposite sex to taking direction from anyone they view as an authority figure. Most carry an enormous chip on their shoulders and take offense at the slightest thing................”
These letters are so sad. Thanks for the link.
The American Thinker article has received a lot of comments - it seems to have struck a nerve.
I hang out with a lot of them...then again, I’m studying engineering...
