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.

As America destroys itself with progressivism and lowest-common-denominator racial destruction, we are all going to wind up being owned by the Chinese and Indians, who, by the way, work hard.

Such people can only hide in academia. The real world (and I don’t just mean business) but rather, everywhere else where people must deal with each other on a daily basis - has absolutely no use for clowns like her.

Eliminate the Dept of Education and the massive debt bubble that is feeding parasites like this.

This is why BLM calls them “allies” and not friends.

Allies are expendable...

That's The University of Pennsylvania, which is in Philly.

This moron is a professor at a backwater branch campus of Penn State--not U Penn--near Brandywine, PA. In the past 11 years, she has 5 publications, none of them in peer reviewed journals. Plain and simple: she's a quack, not a scholar.

She’s just stupid.
The idea of working hard to get ahead is actually Asian :)
Or, perhaps, if she tried to say this in Hong Kong she would get some odd looks. Or among certain students in her own school no doubt.

The odd thing is that communists were all for hard work. Made quite a fetish of it.
In Stalins time thats why they made much of Stakhanov.
And had “Heroes of Labor”.
I’ve been reading Mao’s Red Book and this stuff is all over it. And plenty of other “conservative” positions too.

I reccommend Mao’s Red Book actually, its full of juicy quotes to fight American leftists. Even the Maoists werent as insane as they are.

She probably passes or fails people based on skin color.

I agree with her.

Working hard to get ahead in life is part of white culture.

And it does not appear to be very prevalent in other races.

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.


Bingo! This is not about race but communists using race to achieve their goals.

The issue is never the issue.
The issue is always the revolution.

Maybe someone needs to break the bad news to her... the Ongwediva region of Namibia’s motto is “Freedom and Hard Work”... and the place is run by black communists.

If we gotta have white genocide then we should start with white liberals. Then the genocide would be ended when only halfway complete.

If you are going to identify races by color then Michelle Malkin is “white” as are most Chinese and Southeast Asians. If you call all Caucasians “white” as is commonly done, then you have to include some coal black Dravidians in India.

Ever since the likes of Ward Churchill caught my attention, you can scratch the surface and find these loons throughout academia. Hickey stick Michael Mann is from Penn State as well. I would hope the Engineering school still teaches their sunsets well. I count my lucky stars for my professors at Villanova. I only hope they haven’t become infested with this kind of slob teaching students.

I’m a proud half-breed, as defined by the Ol’ West, (which means for those in Rio Linda that I’m half Mojave and half white), and have believed and engaged in hard work all my life, up to my retirement.

I guess that blows their narrative, huh?

This thing is saying that White = hard work and non-White = live off the work of Whites. Truer words were never spoken.

...and the pervasiveness of whiteness ideologies within the United States.

I've traveled pretty extensively in parts of the world where "blackness","brownness" and "yellowness" ideologies were very pervasive indeed.With the possible exception of Japan these regions/countries were places in which very,*very* few Americans would...of *any* color...would choose to live.
