Holy cow, our local university made national news....Gnomeio's school.

Florida Gulf Coast University offers class on 'white racism' - CNN

[JRD77VET]

So much for promoting tolerance

So while were at "rolling all white folks" in a single stereotype, why do they get all bent when the shoe is on the other foot?

More entitlement bullshit. What about actually earning your place?

I was taught in my first semester in college, AFTER I switched majors, "ALWAYS BE WORTH MORE THAN YOU ARE PAID".

I think I have a clearly demonstrated work ethic, given this brutal project I'm on.

Everyone in this world needs to earn their stripes. Work your effing ass off and earn your place in the world. There are no hand outs. Your race has zero bearing on your ability to do your job. And in return, you should be rewarded for your efforts. End of story.

Where's the eye-roll emoticon? I saw an article on that garbage yesterday. This part is telling:

Let's stop for a moment and imagine a white professor or politician making the following statement:

Clearly, not all black people are criminals; some are even anti-crime.



The implied proportions in both statements are absurd. This dickhead is blatantly stirring the pot.

In today's instant gratification society, and media influence, what else do you expect.

I must say, I'm so proud,

This is blatent retaliation from racial slurs that were found on boards in class rooms, and a public notice board 2 years ago. Which are unacceptable

Racial slur written on whiteboard in Seidler Hall
FGCU students protest in light of racial slur incident
Another racially-charged message found on FGCU campus - NBC-2.com WBBH News for Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples, Florida

I don't support, or agree, (obviously) anyone who thinks there is a superior race, or because you are "x" race you get preferential treatment.

You as an individual, account for your failure and success. This class is an example of how out of touch most college professors are with the real world. Students there will absorb it, as they are too stupid to open there eyes into the real world. They don't know any better. Kids still think that if they go to college, they will automatically be successful. Wake up call, NOT the case. You have to educate in areas other than Painting and Underwater basket weaving. College should be left for teaching, law school, medical professions, area that require extensive knowledge.

I hate to say it, and it makes me sick that I even thought about it, but individuals are taking advantage of the racism card, weather you "identify" as a bag of potatoes, that you are trans, black, white etc. People are trying to get a quick pay day, or get special treatment, or consideration for a xyz.

I work for $3 billion plus year company, who could give 2 shits, what race, preference, or whatever you are. As long as you put forth your best effort and work well on the team to get the project done, thats what they care about.

Our society is full of nonsense these days.

Growing up as a white male, I was never handed a scholarship for my race, I was never handed a perfect credit profile when I turned 18, I never was able to receive subsidized financial aid.

Stop holding me as a white male accountable for the BS nonsense that dumbasses believed in 40 plus years ago. I have done nothing to you, and will continue to treat every indvidual the way I want to be treated. I will also give you the respect you EARNED, because you have worked to better yourself.


Okay rant over :shrugs:
