Excerpted from Eric Owens\’ blog at dailycaller.com:
A black sociology professor at Vanderbilt University is arguing that “white privilege” is to blame for last week\’s riots and looting in Baltimore, Md. The professor, Tony N. Brown, took to the op-ed pages of The Tennessean late last week to make the claim… Brown… blames the white parents of the fraternity members “and others like them” for the racism of their white children…
White people act “routinely to harm, demean, and damage black and brown people,” Brown wrote in Nashville\’s main newspaper. These actions “explain the lofty levels of frustration and despair among black and brown youth.”
Using a host of names blatantly implying maximum whiteness – including “Sarah,” “Liam.” “Chase,” and “Katey” – Brown offers a blanket condemnation of white parents for sending children to “racially homogenous” schools and churches, living in predominantly white neighborhoods and failing to read children\’s books featuring minority characters.
Brown blames white parents for telling “racially insensitive” jokes in front of children and allowing grandparents to use racial slurs “at Thanksgiving.”
Also, white parents inform their children “that all poor people are black and it\’s their own fault,” Brown suggests.
Wow. The klan in Blackface.
If you are still in school, and happen to be doing a paper on racial stereotyping, this is one of the great mother lodes you will come across. Count them up, if you can count that high.
But if you run into Professor brown, I suggest you don\’t insult him by asking how he knows these attributes are universally true among all White people, as if he had met and interviewed them all. Instead, please ask what he would call a White person – any White person, from Professor to street bum – who offered up even a fraction of these kinds of stereotypes about Black people.
Sloppy work, though. the Professor forgot to add in that we don\’t dance as well and jump as high. How could he have pumped out all those stereotypes and missed two easy ones like those?
And, yes, parents pay tuition for their children to be taught by this man.
Well, it\’s their money.
