Boston University professor: White Males a "problem population"

[All Along The Watchtower]

More evidence that white men are the real victims of oppression and discrimination.

This thread is concern trolling from the Right. I stand by my previous post.

lol

Imagine what would be the reaction if a white male said African American women are the problem in society. Nothing more needs to be said.

African American woman in the top 5% of income earners wastes her time slagging white men beneath her station.

She's a newly hired assistant professor of sociology and African-American studies, so I seriously doubt that that is the case.

She has the gall to whine about how "white people" are the problem when in reality they are the reason she has anything she does today. Odds are she would just be some random subsistence farm girl, probably raped multiple times by randoms had it not been for these white people she hates so much.

There, I said it.

you might even say it's the White Man's Burden to uplift these savages, amirite

^^^Exactly what I thought when I read that post.

I presume Cory will be the first to defend all of these:

What in the name of all that is sacred is this thread?

And it started off so promising, with a link to a Farce News story about reverse racism and misandry!

Largely because Western people have traditionally been on the winning side of history.  It is very easy to claim to be the most enlightened people in history when your people have had the fortune of being winners instead of losers.  Of course, you leave out a lot of things, like how the Middle Eastern world was a thriving civilization that was a leader in practically all fields of learning, medical, and technological advances before they had the misfortune of being wiped out by the Mongol wave.  Also, it is unfair to base how East Asians would have treated black people compared to whites when the latter have generally had much more experience with blacks than the former.  Asians generally enslaved other Asians while whitey enslaved Native Americans, Celticy people, Slavs, blacks, and even their own lower classes.  In fact, the mass enslavement that people of all races committed within their own race/ethnic groups is one of the untold stories of history.

The Mongolians didn't wipe out some Arabic enlightening, it was already dying when they arrive and ended it completely, BTW Syria not Bagdad was the centre of it as it existed. As for the slavery issue, the Arabs was everybit our equals in it, from the chattel slavery of the Mesopotanian delta, to the slave armies of Egypt and the Ottomans, the slaver states across the Sahel, East Africa and Ukraine.

As for the Chinese and Mughals their treatment of conquered neighbours was everybit as brutal as anything Europeans did. They all did when they was the winners of history not losers.

Shut up Ingeman.

Anyway, I find it telling that a few errors I made are being pointed out and made a big deal of when I had audacity to call out our resident "liberal eugenicist".

I personal dislike your romanticism of the exotic more than Cory's mild chauvinism. Non-"White" people are not some kind of noble savagees, who exist for liberal Americans to make a point against the American conservatives, they're real breathing people with their own complex, beautiful and ugly history.

There's actually a lot of truth in your post, but it seems largely beside the point, and ignores the actual history of the world over the past several centuries.
