Let’s Be a Little More Careful, Please

Academics need to take a break from the white privilege lectures to review their own prejudices.

[silverleaf]

People of white privilege need to become far more selective about they are willing to pay tuition and make alumni donations

I’ve always wondered why they think it is OK to have white trash, but no one ever speaks of “black trash”.

[Nea Wood]

Maybe because blacks riot and protest, and whites don’t. Ever notice on commercials, the dumb doofus using the wrong product, or the burglar breaking in on the home security commercials, is always a white male? White males don’t protest, riot, or boycott, and they have no groups advocating for them.

We in academia bend over backwards to avoid even the appearance of ethnic, racial or even religious condescension—except when it comes to poor whites. Their situation is their own fault; they can be sneered at without repercussion. They have failed on their own, after all, and have failed even though they have had all the “advantages” of privilege.

Under this logical fallacy its ok to call blacks 'niggers' if they havent figured out how to pull their pants up and get outta da hood.

Stupidest bunch of college teachers (and as a result, students) in the last 500 years or so.

I strongly support your suggestion—but it is hard to find a school that is not run by hard left socialists and haters. The system of preparing professors is managed by a few prominent schools and those schools produce hard left professors. The professors have to “fit in” with the ideology or getting published and promoted is too difficult.

white privilege is an invention of the left
white privilege is really class and wealth privilege just changed to a race thing

white privilege = Protestant work ethic

A decade or more ago, at a faculty party in New York City, I listened in as a diverse group of faculty spoke casually and disparagingly of "hillbillies," "rednecks" and "white trash."

'Diverse' and 'faculty' are two mutually exclusive words never to be used in the same sentence except in the negative.

I can’t believe people still make donations to these progressive hellholes...you already paid for the ‘service’ the first time around.

"Academics need to take a break from the white privilege lectures to review their own prejudices. "

Academics need to reflect upon what they would do if they had to get real jobs.

[Larry Lucido]

Careful about posting blogs under News?

Careful about unnecessary excerpting of blogs?

Is that what you meant?

The final step towards equality is when people can casually talk disparagingly about a group and comedians can make jokes about a group without member and supporters of the group going ape.

LGBT and black groups unfortunately have a long way to go before they can consider themselves equal to rednecks. And it’s not us straight, white males holding them back. At my son’s college (and others I’m sure) a girl recently won awards and praise for starting multiple groups aimed at preventing this equality as well as physically separating people by color and sexuality.

There is a word for that, but PC states that whites are not allowed to say it.

“White males don’t protest, riot, or boycott, and they have no groups advocating for them.”

...and they aren’t going to either. No need to stoop. This may sound arrogant, but if you are better then that, so be it.

Also, a caveat. Boycotts. See NFL 2016
Boycotts don’t have to be petty and deliberate. Some people take note of where other people stand socially and politically and adjust their behavior accordingly.

Clint Eastwood mentioned this the other day, if not as eloquently. We have lost our sense of humor as a nation because of political correctness.
And in large part due virtue-signalling, sanctimonious nannies like these elbow patched, neck-bearded queers and their strident dyke counterparts on college campuses.

I saw a documentary about a year ago dealing with homelessness in San Francisco.

One of the "homeless" they interviewed was a young white woman who was raised in an affluent, college educated household in Maryland. For some reason she'd blown that all off and headed out to California - who knows why? Maybe she read Jack Kerouac's "On The Road" and thought she'd give it a try.

At the time she was interviewed, she was pregnant, living under a freeway bridge with her black boyfriend/pimp, panhandling and turning tricks to support her heroin addiction. But she'd never forgotten the casual classism of the Country Club society she came from. So, in spite of her own dismal situation, she looked down condescendingly upon various groups of other people.

Observant Christians, conservatives, corporate types like bankers - they were the scum of the earth to this young woman.

She also held southern white people in particular disdain. Maybe it was the particular way her lip curled when she called them "White trash."

When she tried to reconcile her present situation, she said that "things could be better, but at least she's not as bad as southern "white trash".

"Nope," she sneered, "don' wanna be a Trashie".

All the hours toity academics better give up there air conditioning. It was invented by the ignorant white trashy they so despise
