UW prof: Welfare state should 'exert control over free market'
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 07/25/2012 9:33:35 AM PDT by oliverdarcy

A sociology professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison exclusively assigned students a textbook he authored in which he envisions a “racially just society” in which “the welfare state would rise up to exert control over the free market.”

In his course, American Racial and Ethnic Minorities, Prof. Mustafa Emirbayer assigned, as the sole reading, his book, Racial Domination, Racial Progress, which is available for $68.31 on Amazon.

“The American welfare state – perhaps the skinniest in the developed world – could be fattened up,” he wrote in the book, co-authored with Matthew Desmond. "[T]he skimpy American welfare state – in large part responsible for the millions of citizens living hand-to-mouth today – would expand by generous proportions."

“[T]he Welfare state would rise up to exert control over the free market, making sure to protect vulnerable citizens from its erratic whims,” he continued in the book which is currently ranked #124,659 in sales on Amazon.com.

“Further, you find outright communists who were born and bred here in the US.”

That is true. And traitorous ideas are born here every day too. And adults here grow into traitorous people believing in traitorous ideas. It is our solemn patriotic duty to keep them in check.

I dated a sociology professor for a while. She was liberal but not radically so since she was a Serb. She warned about our border and the grave danger it presented being open the way it is.

Most disturbing is the fact that she had interviewed war criminals from all sides of the Yugoslavian conflict who are now living in America as part of her thesis.

I wouldn’t want to spend too much face time with war criminals.
