A black sociology professor at Vanderbilt University is arguing that white privilege is to blame for last weeks riots and looting in Baltimore, Md. The professor, Tony N. Brown, took to the op-ed pages of The Tennessean late last week to make the claim.
White people act routinely to harm, demean, and damage black and brown people, Brown wrote in Nashvilles main newspaper. These actions explain the lofty levels of frustration and despair among black and brown youth.
The professor, who has a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, cites other unrelated incidents as evidence of the riots after the April 19 death of Freddie Gray while in police custody. He recalls the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity members at the University of Oklahoma who sang a shockingly racist song. He also alludes to the white South Carolina police officer charged with murder for shooting at a fleeing black man eight times...

So called higher education in the United States of America has created a generation of "highly degreed" fools. The American higher education factory has output a steady stream of people with Graduate, Post-Graduate, and Doctorate degrees who have spent years of their lives and hundreds of millions of government funds to become the gnostics in subjects like:
Child and Family Studies
Psychology
Communications
Social Work
Drama And Theater Arts
Philosophy And Religious Studies
English Literature And Language
Journalism
Social Justice
Hospitality Management
Music
African American Studies
Kinesiology
Folklore
Canadian Studies
Nanny Science
Retail Florist
Gay, Lesbian, Transgender Studies
Puppetry
Bowling Management
Bagpipes
Farrier Science
Sociology
Horticulture
After "arriving" at their higher level degrees, these people feel that their opinion is as important and hold equal weight to someone who actually has skills to contribute to society. Their ignorance is only overshadowed by their audacity. After all, ignorance for most people is a temporary condition that we face in our younger years. Once we realize that we know nothing, we can seek to remedy the ailment. But what if we continue in ignorance and get higher degrees telling us we know something when we do not?
Our nation used to promote people to leadership based on accomplishment. Many of our presidents were entrepreneurs, statesmen, or military leaders. Starting with Barack Hussein Obama (perhaps even Bill Clinton), the United States has promoted people based on sophistry. God help us...
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools , 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator , who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another * ; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet . 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient ; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Sounds like satire,but there are too many who want to put blame anywhere they can.
Who monitors the “whites”?
“highly degreed” fools...but very dangerous to our way of life.
Add Brown to the list with Shabazz...a cold dish is inbound...
I was in college when these giant a-hole socialists were there also. They made me puke! Teachers and students alike with manure for brains trying to spread their hatred of America...
I’d sure as heck like to know where this white privilege is.
Anybody know where I can get some?..............................
>> Who monitors the whites?
Who needs to monitor the whites? The idiots put every breath they draw on Facebook and Twitter.
mass surveillance of those not rioting, wow
nicely done.
white privilege is having a momma and a daddy in the house.....
“black privilege” is having that worthless son of a bitch out of the house..
GETTING KIND OF HARD TO ARGUE AGAINST THAT...
(Romans: 1)
(Psalms: 144)

Vandy is a Private University, and as such, they can keep this racist employed, if they choose to.
That said, where are the DONORS? And why do they support this racism?
Are they too afraid to be branded as racists themselves, if they dare to speak out against bull***t like this?
shooting at a fleeing black man eight times... —
Once for each baby momma
I chose to re-post. Is this not allowed?
I’m not a moderator, so that’d be a question for them.
“Your wish is granted.” — National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, Central Intelligence Agency, Department of the Treasury, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Ground Intelligence Center, Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, et. al.
So what is the problem?
It’s considered good form here not to re-post, but I’m not management.
Obama is a mistake people on the take or delusional elected twice.
We are in the Great Depression right now except we have the government printing money into the stock market, the budget and throwing social programs out there right and left.
How can 94 million unemployed in this country add up to 5.5% unemployment except for in the land of liars?
It was not the privilege of people who saved their dimes in bank accounts to see the government double the debt under Obama and to then continue giving savers nothing.
The government will always keep interest rates at near zero because that limits the cost of interest on the national debt.
Meanwhile the same near 0% interest rates have stopped all wealth creation in banks and has caused elders for two or three generations now to blow their principle out of need.
How about giving the whites they want to charge the privilege of paying their own bills? :-)
Maybe don't make yourselves unemployable without education but with a felony.
Maybe take pride and yourselves and know shame and get off of welfare, get jobs and don't have 10 kids on welfare with 7 dads marrying none of them.
IMO the only while privilege I can see them talking about here is having the ability to use some common sense and IMO we all have the potential to do that.
