Penn State Prof: Believing in Hard Work is White Ideology and Racist

This is the crap they are teaching kids these days. A Pennsylvania State University professor recently wrote working hard was part of the white ideology and is therefore racist.

These liberals sure seem to be pushing for white genocide?

 

Townhall and Campus Reform reported:

Pennsylvania State University-Brandywine professor Angela Putman recently asserted in an academic paper that the notion “if I work hard, I can be successful” is merely a product of white ideology, reports Campus Reform.

Angela Putman conducted a study to critique and examine “ideologies within college students’ discourse that are foundational to whiteness.” Her resulting conclusion published on Thursday was that “meritocracy”, or the belief that people should rise based on the fruits of their own labor, is a “white ideology.” In her mind, this “white ideology” is unfortunately widely accepted in academia.

But, Professor Putman argues that professors can change this “ideology” by teaching students “how racism and whiteness function in various contexts, the powerful influence of systems and institutions, and the pervasiveness of whiteness ideologies within the United States.”

The professor is a big Colin Kaepernick fan.

Putnam’s ideology, communism, also came from white men.

These government people should not get big retirement benefits when people who work hard do not get them.

Hey “professor” - you have a bit of a struggle facing reality, right? I suggest you get a good counselor to help you fight through it.

Professor Putman is a taxpayer supported lunatic who lives off all that “hard work”. She is also an ardent feminist. Feminism at its core is a bizarre anti fertility cult. A community that elevates such people to “teach” at its schools is decadent and in decline.

How else are people supposed to rise? They should just show up and the boss hands them money and promotions?

So the reverse of this idiot’s thinking is “If you don’t work hard, and fail, it’s because of black ideology.

How the hell did Penn. hire this lunatic? Oh, I’d better wait. They had a professor named Ed Hermann who is a far-left Chomsky buddy lunatic re the media etc.

Well, most of Un. Penn’s professors seem sane, at the moment but one you start digging, you’ll never know what you will find.

Take that from a former archaeologist.

Okay. I’ll admit I’m delusional if the professor and her tribe will get their hands off my wallet. Fair trade?

So the alternative is.......not working, failure, welfare, and servitude and worship of the state? Really? Nonsense.

According to liberals—and especially the ones in academia—white isn’t merely a color. It’s an attitude and identifier. If you believe in: being productive; willing to work hard; to be independent and not a burden to others; resent grifters and mooches; and a color-blind society/ALL lives matter—then (to liberals) you’re “white” and you are “racist/supremacist” against “non-whites.”

This is how men and women like Ben Carson, Dinesh D’Souza, Michelle Malkin, and others, can be called “racist” and “white supremacist” by liberals. It is most effective when they charge that against a conservative to an audience that probably doesn’t know who they are.

How then are things supposed to get done? You know, growing food, building stuff, like that. This is the fantasy world of the left.

Their goal is to one day harness the productive idiot/slaves (people who love to work very hard for very little in return) to pull the wagon of the world's deadbeats—which the learned lazy will drive. The ultimate end of the "from each according to their ability. To each according to their need" credo.

Not saying they'll be successful. Just saying that's the logical end they're working towards.
