Prof: ‘White privilege’ behind many mass shootings, parts of the Tea Party
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 01/18/2013 11:03:04 AM PST by oliverdarcy

A professor from a public university on Wednesday claimed mass shootings, such as those in Newtown Conn., and Aurora Colo., are often the effects of jilted “white privilege.”

Robert Jensen, who is a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin, also suggested race-based alienation is a motivating factor behind some parts of the conservative Tea Party movement.

“Why are the men who commit mass murder disproportionately white?” Jensen asked rhetorically. “My guess is that it has something to do with the sense of entitlement that most white people feel.”

Oh I see, the blacks simply kill on a continuous basis, but crackers do binge killing.

Here is one of the reasons for gun violence, professor:

The REAL Killer? List Of School Shootings That May Be Linked To SSRI’s

Idiot professor thinks he can combat racism by making unfounded racist accusations.

Most likely a case of projection.

This professor probably secretly realizes his inadequacies in his government job and believes he occupies the position due of his skin color. Because he understands that he, personally, is a beneficiary of white privilege, he assumes all other white folks are as underwhelming as himself.

While his gift of reason is evidently limited, his assumption on how he reached his position is likely accurate.

Clearly, the one *and only* cause of such mass killings are colleges of journalism and unethical journalism professors.

The evidence is clear. First, such schools have ruined the quality of news reporting in the United States. Many years ago, high school graduate reporters under the strict supervision of trained editors, produced much better quality, objective and accurate news stories; not fictions polluted with uneducated opinion, bias, and outright prejudice that we see today.

Second, the obsession of colleges of journalism to not blame the actual perpetrators of such events, but to imagine far fetched and ludicrous connections that did not exist, encouraged society to loosen its control over violent mentally ill criminals.

Clearly this professor of journalism is to a great extent culpable in the Newtown shootings, and likely the Aurora theater killings as well. As such, he is an accessory before and after the fact, and someone who agitates the mentally ill to carry out such acts.

Now white skin not only makes you genetically racist, but automatically mass murderers as well...

I can’t wait for the scientific study that shows the bright reflective quality of white caucasian skin is a prime cause of Global Warming...

The two primary distinguishing characteristics of university liberal arts professors are: their absolute ideological uniformity on one hand, and their intractable belief in whatever is the inverse of reality, on the other.

“Why are the men who commit mass murder disproportionately white?” Jensen asked rhetorically. “My guess is that it has something to do with the sense of entitlement that most white people feel.”

My guesss is more like this. They spend 18 to 20 years of being told that they are responsible for every problem in America, when they have never victimized anyone.

They see girls and minorites who are no better, and who are often worse than him, celebrated and feted with “take daughter to work day’, and “black history month”. He gets treated to pol pot style discussions where he is encouraged to understand his guilt for everyones misery.

He often does VERY well in all his classes but finds it still brings him no respect. He gets depressed and withdraws. So mom takes him to the doctor who immediately puts him on powerful psychoactive meds.

Now he’s depressed, doped up, and isoated. He sure isn’t feeling the privilege he supposedly wields.
If he things about college, he discovers an avalanche of scholarships that are restricted to women, minorities, illegal aliens, ANYBODY except a white male.

Someday, something becomes the straw that breaks the camels back. Maybe another casual remark from a teacher, maybe a girl screams with glee at winning a huge scholarship he couldnt even apply for. Maybe the meds overcome him finally.

But i think something like that is why they decide that they will walk in and start killing people. Not a supposed life of white privilege.

Um, prof, where's the evidence that nonwhites feel any less entitled?

The mass shootings are typically done by liberals, so how is that TEA Party?

Why are the men who commit individual murder (and rape and assault and burglary) overwhelmingly black? And — just as importantly — why are their VICTIMS consistently black?

Answer that, race whore.

This stinking bag of excrement is a hater of the White race and Christians in particular. In the days when Texas had real men, he would have been dragged into the street in the middle of the night, tarred and feathered, tied to his horse and chased out of town.

Instead, he has tenure at the “flagship” (or “fagship”) university of this state and is given a huge salary which comes from the taxes of hard-working White Christians in Texas. We can blame the worthless regents of ut for that atrocity.
