“...when he talks about white supremacy, he says, he is talking about a system of power, not about individual white people.”

What he is really saying:
“I’m not talking about you but, people like you...”

People are getting fed up with being insulted, marginalized and threatened with the loss of their most basic freedoms. That some on the fringes are going to lash out shouldn’t be a surprise. The gutter snipes on the left are coddled by academia and the mediots, while conservatives are demonized for even the mildest disagreement with leftist dogma and intimidated into a de facto loss of 1A rights. Soon the pressure could reach the bursting point.

Right after we hang the politicians, we’ll hang the Journalists and Academics.

But only after they get a fair trial.

We promise.

Exactly.

he called the United States "a white supremacist, patriarchal, heteronormative, capitalist system."

And no doubt, he rigorously researched the “heteronormative” (whatever the f—k that means) nature of the United States before making that statement..

“Cry-bullies”

They hit out again and again, then finally get struck and CRY THEIR GUTS OUT about it.

There really WOULD be a solution if the bully LEARNED, but now...?

Noooooooo...!!

DIABLO VALLEY COLLEGE:

That's next to BERKELEY and it's the campus that hired "PROFESSOR BIKE LOCK"

Of course these talking professors are going to get threats. How stupid can they possibly be? They spend all their time bad mouthing America and the majority of Americans.

WTF did they think the response would be?

Hey NPR, their “target” status goes way beyond “on-line”.

Ponce teaches political science at Diablo Valley College, a community college in California’s East Bay.

...

I didn’t know community colleges had professors.

And then who God sends to hell may not be who you think.

There is a pretty good chance that most of the trash talk that actually gets to a phone message system, is FALSE FLAGS.

However, don’t be surprised if the effort to discredit the right after taunting it to within a millimeter of its life, reaches eventually to FR.

And everybody is missing the real problem which is not political, it is religious. The church went AWOL.

Colleges are the head of the leftist snake. It’s where their BS gets fermented and turned into scholarly-sounding papers that legitimize their godless hate.

The snake is cutting its own head off by pricing itself out of its market (aka greed), but it’s happening too slowly due to the deep pockets of the American taxpayer. Need to start withholding taxpayer dollars from any college that serves the leftist agenda.

I worked three decades in this atmosphere of intolerance for all things conservative. I can’t recall a single incident where leftists were attacked, not one. What happened to these professional race pimps of the left needs to ramp up a thousand fold to even begin to level the playing field. The left dominates all of higher education, with the exceptions of some of the STEM field programs. These race baiting bastards are not educators, they are rabid left wing psychopaths and this disease needs to be resected from civilized society.

If you don’t submit to the race pimps on campus, the default is you must be a white supremacist. This is the scholarly approach that the leftist race hustlers use to censor all opposition on campus.

NPR is itself an example of the bias on campuses for it daily, even hourly, manifests that bias as this very article does, and thus fosters the intolerance. But since the bias is overwhelmingly against conservatives, then that is marginalized.

Apparently this schmuck doesn’t like capitalism.

I assume that he is working for free, then.

I have read that people who rail against capitalism (and who advocate socialism) are cheap people who want something for nothing because they do not want to pay for anything.

Another thing: if he doesn’t like the US then why is he here?
