A teaching assistant for a course titled Racial and Ethnic Issues at North Carolina State University claimed that President Donald Trump “supported white nationalists and neo-Nazis” and likened meritocracy to racism. The TA, Christian Alberg, wrote the remarks as feedback on one of several student assignments obtained by Campus Reform via student Victoria Howell.
The documents obtained include two essays, PowerPoint slides, and various test questions.
In one essay, Howell referred to course notes that stated: "conservatism has white supremacist traits and supports the ideology of white supremacy.” Alberg confirmed the course notes made this comparison in his comments and added that former President Obama’s statements on meritocracy could also constitute “new white supremacy.”

Useful-Idiot-Indoctrination BUMP
Marxism is an oppressive Western ideology thrust upon the other nations of the world, based on the ideas of privileged dead white males and founded by an unabashed racist to persons of color.
“These sick liberal professors...”
The dude is a TA = NO TENURE!
Sheese!
FWIW My father was a tenured college professor and NOT a liberal.
I instructed for 12 years in the Montana University System and Im (happy to be out of there) not a liberal.
Wow, so that’s why the four front runners for the Democrats right now are old white people.........
err... Fauxcahontas claims not to be ‘old white people’.
Butt-Boy’s in the lead, per Iowa poll.
In the 1960s students protested against the establishment, which were conservative professors and teachers. Now the shoe is on the other foot.
In an email to Campus Reform, course professor Melvin Thomas confirmed some examples of "new white supremacy."
“Yes, opposition to government assistance is linked to white supremacy because its [sic] been largely motivated by the view that minorities--especially, African Americans--are lazy and undeserving,” Thomas said. “You don't want to help lazy people who would rather live off of welfare rather than work. The research supports the link between white supremacist beliefs and this policy position.
“The "Make American Great Again" and "Take Our Country Back" slogans were debated as being racist,” Thomas said of the Trump slogans. “The students overwhelmingly thought it was. One Trump supporter in a video, when pressed, said America was great in the 1950s--not a great time for blacks. I cautioned that you could make a case that it is racist, but it's tough to know what's in people's minds.”
Thomas also added that the information presented in his classes is “based on scientific research--not right or left-wing ‘alternative facts’ or opinions,” and said that Howell’s grade was tied to her answers, not opinions.
“The student lost points because their answers were factually incorrect and not because of their conservative beliefs.”
Howell received a 0 percent grade on the essay assignment. She told Campus Reform that Thomas told her she received 0 percent because she “didn’t do the assignment because [she] didn’t discuss the topic correctly.”
My son, who recently went to school for computer science, says it's still the same today.
Same for my son in the STEM program at a big university.
Unless its somehow required why subjugate your self to such crap?
Who would make a conscious decision to pay for a useless course such as this at a college? I could see barely literate gimmedats on a full ride filling the room.
Think about this, to call meritocracy racist makes Alberg himself a racist. Merit in everyday life is colorblind.
Exactly.
Is it not interesting that people who hate white males embrace the rancid ideas of a white male, Karl Marx?
