richieb Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 === well it appears the snowflake educational PC faction has now officially gone off the rails or maybe just headlong into an oncoming train. My Kansas University (KU) will be offering a course study in - Angry White Male studies. True. I literally had smoke coming from my ears when I heard this. So being slow I’m guessing this means there are no, or have not been, angry black men, brown men, Asian men or heaven forbid an angry women of any color. What would you think that if indeed the course would have been Angry Black Male studies? The school would likely be marched on for weeks on end. While I’m certainly not a donor of note I do know grads who are and who know other grads that donate six figure💵 💵 yearly. I’ll be curious to see how long these life changing “studies” stand the test of pisssed off donors who keep their checkbooks close to their vest. I’ll refrain from saying what I really feel for fear this would be a one post lock — although that might be a record. I am out — 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll refrain from saying what I really feel for fear this would be a one post lock — although that might be a record. I am out — I'd like to see the course description in KU's catalog. There are some Angry White Males out there. They may have made a crucial difference in the 2016 election. The reasons I've heard for being an Angry White Male, specifically as an Angry White Male (e.g., too much advancement on the part of other groups) don't justify anger, and are based on a faulty conception of social problems, IMO. Perhaps the record breaking ratio of incomes received (notice I didn't say "earned") by the 1% to the income of the poor would be a reason for anger, but then it would be anger on the part of all the groups you mentioned, and then some. And that anger is present and growing. I'd be interested in any half way scientific studies about why any group is angry. There have been courses and books dealing with anger on the part of many collections of people in the past. The book Black Rage by two (black) San Francisco psychiatrists was an early example (in the sixties). The many offerings of the Ethnic Studies Department at San Francisco State University was, and is, another. I would hope (and expect) that such a course would look at this phenomenon from many angles, and not be patronizing to anyone. I doubt very much if it would just be a group of white men sitting around complaining, or mourning their missing foreskins (I stole that one from one of our California newspapers, The Anderson Valley Advertiser, which has as a motto, "Newspapers Should Have No friends").

Archguy Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The people who set the tone of our nation's cultural narratives--largely through their ownership of mass-media outlets--have decided that some people's anger is legitimate, and other people's isn't. Voltaire supposedly said: To find out who rules over you, simply consider whom you are not permitted to criticize. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 In 2019 deliberately trying to elicit emotional outrage is the hallmark of the fake media, clickbait Youtube videos, and Twitter tweets. It's how the fake media makes money, more viewers means more advertising revenue. This is more than a political observation, the increase in views means dollars to the bottom line. The fact that a major university does the same thing is a reflection of the times. The Sociology Department at Kansas is trying to attract students who are angry. More students mean more money for the department. @richieb I am with you on your rant, but I'm afraid this is a sign of the times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Sun Tzu wrote the "Art of War" over 1000 year ago and it is still taught at West Point. It maintains the very best conquest of a nation is not by the military but by disrupting your enemies society by destroying the morals and causing civil strife. When it gets bad enough people will beg for a strong man to come in and fix things. When he does society has given up all that made it great and given authority to people who intend to do them great harm. The education profession understands this and Stalin used them for his purposes to install his murderous regime.He called them useful idiots and killed them once he attained enough power to do so which they helped him to get. Like it or not the Judeo Christian European descent is responsible for the current state of technology which began as the industrial revolution. Also things like the Magna Carta and the USA's declaration of independence. No other group has ever come close to doing what these people have done. If you want to destroy a nation like the USA you have to hollow it out from within and take it from people who have forgotten how they got to where they are. Socialists are forward looking and don't mind thinking in term of generations to acheive tyranny. The poor get poorer and many more become poor and you turn the USA into Venezuala or Zimbabwe or Mexico but those on top get wealthy and also get to tell people how they HAVE to live their now impoverished lives which have a multitude of onerous conditions now placed upon it. So of course they have to teach against the "angry white male" because if you want to tear down this country you have to remove the inspiration that created it and the glue that holds it together. There will be no balance and no science except that of the principles of indoctrination in those courses and the achievers short circuited so they become tools of the upcoming socialist society. Look at the history of Haiti which began in the early 1800's not long after us. Or Russia or Hitler or Ho Chi Minh or any other of these places that destroyed them selves and you see their fellow travelers today filling universities with utter trash. Yesterday I read about a radical 300 pound feminist minority professor ranting about how time is a racist construct by white people against people of color. So thrilled to be in the spot light and to get a great wage and to help shape things. Also incapable of learning from history because the truth is an inconvenient thing that must be done away with by those who want to rule and plunder and get even with all those they hate which are legion. I pity the world my grandchildren are going to live in and the chaos and destruction heading our way. All because trendy liberals either want what you have without earning it or naively think their "compassion" will be enabled once this terrible USA is torn down and reshaped into something else and we will be Heaven on Earth. Stalin was right they are useful idiots. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, this thread has lasted longer than I thought it would but I'm sure that there are those out there that love to turn things political that haven't seen it yet. 11 hours ago, richieb said: I am out — You're such a tease.

I ask kids to read Atlas Shrugged or Animal Farm and they can't do it. It is books in general and the time needed to focus on one topic and it is impossible for most of them. Easy to manipulate when your whole world is emotional and lacks any knowledge of history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco-d-gama Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Well perhaps angry white guys should demand reparations for affirmative action decisions back in the 60’s, 70’s ,etc? After all many were denied access to higher education and if they had gotten educated they’d not be so angry now. It’s a classic catch 22 😳. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
