White Males Gone Wild?
Accuracy in Academia ^ | January 25, 2013 | Deborah Lambert

Posted on 01/25/2013 9:56:09 AM PST by Academiadotorg

While guns have taken the brunt of the blame for the recent scourge of mass murders in America, it didn’t take long for the race, class and gender crowd to jump into the fray and proclaim that these tragedies were also caused in part by “frustrated white male privilege.”

So says Hugo Schwyzer, a Pasadena City College professor of history and gender, who argues that these particular crimes were all committed by “spoiled, frustrated, disconnected white males who feel ignored or marginalized,” according to The College Fix.

What’s more, these murderers all came from bucolic suburban environments, added Schwyzer, who said they could have been experiencing “a form of cognitive dissonance, having been told that “the world is supposed to be your oyster.”

After the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting, Schwyzer wrote that “Every killer makes his pain another’s problem, but only those who’ve marinated in privilege can conclude that their private pain is the entire world’s problem.”

Schwzyer is apparently not the only academic who holds these beliefs. Back in 2010, a paper by SUNY sociology profs Rachel Kalish and Michael Kimmel postulates that “the culture of hegemonic masculinity in the U.S. creates a sense of aggrieved entitlement conducive to violence.”

I have determined that in today's America, the middle-aged white male has two jobs:

1. Shut up, and
2. Pay.

It is the whole “everyone is entitled to a ribbon” mentality that SHOULD be the focus of this, of course they take the one part that is liberal rot and downplay it to attack the suburban culture and then play the “white race is bad” card.

50 percent of gun murders victims are Black, almost all killed by other blacks.

If it weren’t for white males:

1. The world would suck.
2. We’d still have slavery and all the gunless libs would be working for free.

Note to Hugo: Don’t Cherry Pick- It was a confessed Moosie Jihadist that shot up a Army Base.

And the Reason it got to that point is because of Political Correctness forbad institutions to call Psychos-Psychos or da anything about their middle eastern religous Jihadist rantings or other freaked out thoughts. Pat em on the head to build their self confidence, let them explore their thoughts.

All of which was pushed by Acedemia.

I guess the professor forgot about Colin Ferguson, the African American who killed a number of riders of a Long Island Railroad train in 1993, based on his racist hatred for white people.

The common thread through all of these mass killers is their evil desire and/or lack of sanity.

There is a new tax announced by the administration on aspirin - no details were provided except they were white and they worked.

None of these media magnified mass murderers has been a right-winger...in fact, if anything, their ideology consistently leans left.

The majority of black slaves brought to the US were bought with trade goods from black slave owners in Africa...the whole "Roots" scene of Kunta Kinte being caught by white men stumbling through the bush with butterfly nets, is bullsqueeze. Africans had a widespread tradition of taking slaves in raids and intertribal warfare; the destiny for many slaves was to end up as DINNER for their captors. Cannibalism in the African Congo

“professor of history and gender”

A person filling such a title is NOT a teacher; they are simply a political advocate masquerading as a teacher.

The manner of “teaching” for such a person is not an “investigation” of “gender in history”, KNOWING that CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION; it is simply to claim “gender” as a cause of whatever such a “professor” wants to claim it to be.
