“I’m a white man. I’m a white middle-class man. I’m a white middle-class heterosexual man… This is my fault. I didn’t do anything directly, but this is my fault. My silence makes this my fault.”
“I’m a white man. I’m a white middle-class man. I’m a white middle-class heterosexual man… This is my fault. I didn’t do anything directly, but this is my fault. My silence makes this my fault.”
Lord save me from the mass insanity of identity politics and the Koo-Koo-for-Cocoa-Puffs people who practice them.
Not an isolated incident by any stretch of imagination, another similar case here: http://www.city-journal.org/2014/24_4_racial-microaggression.html
‘Microaggression’ Is the New Racism on Campus — John McWhorter
http://time.com/32618/microaggression-is-the-new-racism-on-campus/
In fact, some might see this whole microaggression concept as just a way to keep grievance going in an America where it gets ever harder to call people on naked bigotry. “Life is tough for everybody,” you might think. “When does all of this ‘poor me’ stuff stop?” One need not be a racist or sexist to have that sentiment, especially given that the nature of microaggressions — subtle, unintended, occurring in the hustle and bustle of social interaction — is such that they will never cease to exist entirely.
The simple fact that everyone is pretending to ignore is that black and brown people are just as racist and bigoted as white people. Blaming whites for racism IS racist.
I am sick and tired of hearing about people apologizing for shit that they didn’t do. Makes you wonder why they are in a constant state of apology.
My shoulders instinctively shrugged once I read the words “sociology professor”. Western society seriously needs to purge themselves of these self-hating, useless hippie maggots.
The inevitable result of creating bird courses to subsidize the degrees that are actually useful is that the campus majority ends up being filled with people that shouldn’t be there being “taught” by people that have nothing useful to teach them.
The devil makes use of idle minds.
No point in listening to the racists whites Mulcair or Turdeau.
I Think you are correct in drawing parallels between proglodyte race-obsessing and the Maoist social purges David.
Where they differ however, is that the objects of Maoist politically correct public shaming were A) shamed because the culture held personal honor in high esteem, B) they were forced into this situation at gun point.
The pathetic neurotic creatures who engage in this race based self flagellation have neither personal honor nor esteem as they engage in this depraved self-humiliating fantasy of free will – Mao would be astonished at how easy it is to brain wash a modern western academic into politically correct self sacrifice.
we really need to distribute a whole lot of “clue” sticks to those with usable brains and teach them how to use them.
“It’s my fault,” sez he, thereby placing himself front and center.
Exactly. My thoughts also. This nonsense comes directly out of the pages of the Red Guards and the Soviet self-incrimination.
I’m a white male too, should I apologize for the discovery of electricity, radiowaves, antibiotics, and parliamentary democracy too?
Name one sociology professor who has created anything positive.

“I’m a white male too, should I…………”
Did you say something?
I’m a white, middle class, hetrosexual, red-neck man….and damn proud of it. There, I’ve apologized. I feel so much better now.
I’m a white male heterosexual. Middle class too, and I like it. I have for 78 years. As far as that sociology professor goes, he just an a__hole and a jerk. Too bad he teaches young people though. They certainly can handle life without the the likes of him.
He’s a real whiner too. If he became a regular visitor at gay bars his heterosexuality would be taken care of in the appropriate way. A bit of a drug habit would take care of most of the rest. The whiteness? shoe polish is cheap.
kinda sounds like a religious meeting were the crowd encourages the sinner to confess their sin and ask dog….erm god for forgiveness, yah just can’t make this sh*t up
also very similar to a AA meeting:-)))
“Professor of Sociology” is where I stopped reading.
PaladinPhil: “I am sick and tired of hearing about people apologizing for shit that they didn’t do. Makes you wonder why they are in a constant state of apology.”
Agreed. What really irks me when they assume I have anything to apologize for. Speak for yourself, twit, I guess your kind of prejudice is OK eh?
Bigotry is bigotry, even when white hetero men are the target.
“I am sick and tired of hearing about people apologizing for shit that they didn’t do…..”
I’m sorry you feel that way 🙂
Speaking for the White Community I think we should have government form an all black party so that we can shut up about it once and for all.
Okay,so we’re white heterosexuals,and we are at fault for everything bad that has ever occurred.
As the Left likes to say after they’ve been caught doing a massive f*** up, “alright,now let’s move on” (or forward), so the white male guilt thing has been acknowledged, let’s move on,and if you ever mention it again you’re some kind of “-ist”, and should be promptly curb-stomped, or whatever punishment in currently in vogue!
I hate sushi.
Does that make me a sushist?
And it was also William Wilberforce, a white heterosexual male who called out the English government and Parliament…for 50 YEARS, to end slavery because of the inherent belief that all men and women are created equal?
Pozers of false-humility like this are gut wrenching. Go out a get a job!
It was also a white male heterosexual by the name of William Wilberforce who lobbied and fought the English Parliament for 50 YEARS…to abolish slavery and it took another year to become law. It was his passionate belief that God’s Word was the basis for emancipation, that every human being had the inalienable right to equality, no matter their skin colour.
Oh, how he would weep to read these words in this story.
sorry for the double post…first one wasn’t there when I posted…thought it got caught in the filters…
Yeah well, I’m a proud descendant of that demographic which swarmed outa Northern Europe to conquer most of Europe, then after a century or so of regrouping headed out and conquered the rest of the world…by military force, mercantilism and jurisprudence. They brought rule of law, better hygene, civil unfrastructure (roads, rail and bridges), advanced human rights (like suppressing slavery for a coupla centuries)…….
If I, with a demonstrability Celtic name, and have been advised Irish facial features was asked if i would like potatoes at lunch line and complained and this slight was confirmed by my Guiness drinking friends. Would I have to have a dark tan to achieve an apology.
What about the black Irish?
