Prof: ‘White privilege’ behind many mass shootings, parts of the Tea Party
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 01/18/2013 11:03:04 AM PST by oliverdarcy

A professor from a public university on Wednesday claimed mass shootings, such as those in Newtown Conn., and Aurora Colo., are often the effects of jilted “white privilege.”

Robert Jensen, who is a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin, also suggested race-based alienation is a motivating factor behind some parts of the conservative Tea Party movement.

“Why are the men who commit mass murder disproportionately white?” Jensen asked rhetorically. “My guess is that it has something to do with the sense of entitlement that most white people feel.”

Uh, the prof has it wrong.
The mass shooters in recent years have all been democrats or registered democrats.

UT journalism professor Robert Jensen receives backlash after writing editorial criticizing Thanksgiving

November 26, 2012 at 11:02 am By David Maly

An editorial by journalism professor Robert Jensen criticizing the celebration of Thanksgiving stirred critics during the holiday break, prompting a stream of email and editorial responses.

In an editorial “No Thanks for Thanksgiving,” republished on alternet.org, Jensen discusses the history of the holiday, calling the actions of English settlers genocide.

“Simply put: Thanksgiving is the day when the dominant white culture (and, sadly, most of the rest of the non-white but non-indigenous population) celebrates the beginning of a genocide that was, in fact, blessed by the men we hold up as our heroic founding fathers,” Jensen’s editorial stated.

The editorial goes on to compare the values of some of the founding fathers to those of Nazis.

Par for the course for Jensen. He’s pretty much a Ward Churchill clone. Everything is blamed on white privilege, or misogyny, or American imperialism ... blah, blah, blah.

Don’t know if this is true or not but I’m willing to lay odds it’s true. It would be interesting if a study with all those nifty charts and tables were done with the data clearly illustrating it’s the liberal nutcases that do it. You know how much liberals trust fancy charts and graphs and like to use idiotic jpeg files to make snide comments...lol

I have never met a single person, in all my days on earth, who expressed an expectation of privilege because they are white.

Jensen is the poster child for why tax dollars shouldn’t be used for education.

Another “professor” who bought his title off of a cereal box, and of a university with the standards of Dan Rather.

There is one thing that makes leftists / libtards shutter in fear...the Truth. If he makes a claim like that surely someone can post something showing what a moron he is and expose him as someone that wants some attention and lying to get it.
