Univ. in Indiana Professor: "White Middle Class Heterosexual Men" are at "Fault" for Racism
Pundit Press ^ | 11/16/14 | Aurelius

Posted on 11/16/2014 7:23:28 PM PST by rightistight

Students and professors at DePauw University in Indiana met last week to voice their concerns about a lack of "diversity" and large amounts of racist "microaggression" on campus.

A professor at DePauw wasted no time blaming people like himself for the problems the campus is facing.

Professor of Sociology David Newman stated, “I’m a white man. I’m a white middle-class man. I’m a white middle-class heterosexual man. I’m on the right side of the equation. This is my fault. I didn’t do anything directly, but this is my fault. My silence makes this my fault.”

Senior Jonathan Reyes, a member of Lambda Sigma Upsilon Fraternity, Inc., a Latino fraternity, also sent out an email, claiming that a racist interaction took place on campus at The Hub Cafe. According to Reyes, among other things, a server, unprompted, asked members of the fraternity if they wanted jalapenos with their food.

Actual students "involved in the incident were unavailable or declined to comment," however.

Hey David,

Leave me out of your self-flaggelation campaign. I’m not guilty of Shiite!

Ah, the new PC buzzword, “Microagression”, makes an appearance in the article.

The prof needs to flog himself and leave the rest of us alone.

“I’m a white man. I’m a white middle-class man. I’m a white middle-class heterosexual man. “

You’re also a sociology professor. Who would want to be you?

Perhaps we could flog him too.

I might have wanted jalapenos with my cafeteria food but I’ll be durned if I’ll feel guilty about it.

Boring and predictable. The cliche's stick to one's mouth like a polygrip sandwich. This professor is utterly lacking in originality and I give him 5 negative stars.

And with microagression, no matter what you say or do you are guilty of racism or someother ism.
If you say something-you are offending someone
If you say nothing-you are offending someone.

My silence makes this my fault.

"And, contrariwise, my idiot blathering about it absolves me from any blame." Nice try, Sweet Pea, I don't think the Perpetually Aggrieved are buying.

We've had Eric Holder's Monologue On Race and it's as dated as a year-old lottery ticket. I not only no longer care, I no longer listen.

David Newman (any relation to Alfred?) raises your racism with racism, sexism, heterophobia, and class warfare.

You have to wonder if there will come a day when these students, some of them, come to realize that they are putting themselves in massive debt to learn such drivel.
