People come to college from different backgrounds, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some students (or maybe just one) who may not have thought through the issues as Alex has, but are very uncomfortable with what the instructor is pushing, though they can’t articulate why. I know that I always appreciated the guy who’d take on a socialist instructor.

Conservatism therefore appealed best to those whose parents had finally climbed out of the lowest rungs but who felt powerless being sandwiched by unreachable elites and even poorer people. So I read conservative literature and translated it within his radical world view and he ate it up.

Generally, I minimized my work load in the non-science courses. I rendered to the humanities professors (Ceasar) what I needed to render and focused on the science stuff.

Sadly, things are not that much better in “hard” sciences. He who has the gold makes the rules – or, using a phrase from the 1970’s National Lampoon: “Money Talks, Bullshit Walks”. I have numerous examples of being right on things and even being historically vindicated but it matters little. I’m writing up my work for a patent while other people are being paid to “discover” the same techniques – and I’m out of research money.

You da man! I too am a white male who has encountered the bullying about which you speak. The only thing is, I don’t feel guilt and don’t pretend to.

If Alex were a leader, I’d support him!

I am the only person in that class who has a dissenting voice. I don’t consider myself a hero, or a ‘victim’, and I’m not complaining. I am, however, angry that a class is receiving public funds to promote a Marxist idealogy.

I’m also offended. My grandfather, a Gordon Highland officer (before it was decomissioned), was a white soldier who fought to stop another group of whites (Germans) from eradicating a minority (Jews). He was a good man, who meant what he said, and said what he meant. He was not predisposed to the kind of flamboyant histrionics that are becoming common among men (but masculinity is a good thing when women do it; a bad thing when men do it).

Fast forward almost seventy years, and a huge disgrace is visited on him and his dying breed. He is a member of a patriarchal, white power base that oppresses everyone, so I am told. How ironic.

The memory of him (and guys like him currently serving) is dealt another disgraceful blow by the media and popular culture. When was the last time any news network referred to the young men who are being blown to bits going door to door (our combat troops are still all male) as men? I cannot remember the last time I heard this.

One poster on here commented that the Armed Forces probably cant find enough good men; ergo, they need to recruit females.

But maybe the young males who are not joining are staying away for the same reason that I am finding minority studies to be so offensive; modern society just doesn’t care much about white guys.

Or any whites, for that matter (your ‘Jewery’ is included now apparently, Ilana).

Thanks for hearing me out ya’ll.

The elites despise the white race and will crush Whitey underfoot regardless.

That’s why I always sign my name to these posts.

I have been screwed for far too long for sins I never committed.

Indian immigrant businessmen successfully petitioned the Reagan Administration back in 1982 to be lumped in with East Asians so they could get minority business development loans. But in fact India is more or less Caucasian. Genetically, Cavalli-Sforza found that Indians are about three times closer to West Europeans than to East Asians.

Twas a bit of trolling the Internet, nothing more. The paragraph I skimmed was buried in another article. If important, I can search Mr. Sailer’s archives.

Yes, it is a requirement in order for me to graduate.

However, I will *not* agree with my professor on damn near anything, *regardless* of how much heck she tries to raise with me. I laugh at that crap. I’ve been kicked out of a professors office over a year ago anyway… an unpleasant experience, but, in retrospect, one that I am proud of now.

It’s too late anyway. I have turned in my ‘journal’, an account of what I think about the events in her class. In it, I called her views a ‘bunch of silly rubbish’. Oh noez. What ever am I going to do.

I have every intention of making myself as much of a nuisance in her side as can. It can only come close to the misery that she has vomited out on countless of helpless whites in her class.

We are going to have a brief on women in the military, and I am going to make my voice heard on this rubbish.

I just can’t hear this crap and be quiet everyone. You guys have to understand… what good is it voice your views on the internet..? Speak up, speak *out*.

If I am quiet, I am no different from countless other white males who are bullied into guilt.

I apologize if my statements on here can be a little rough sometimes, and if my thinking isn’t as concise and to the point as it was.. aside from the immense amount of math and science that I am exposed to, college has turned out to be a brainwashing experience.

The only way you can make it is by dulling the senses.

[Heroic, Alex. Stay strong.]

For me, it was the vulnerable elementary school years where I was taught to hate myself for being a white blond-haired blue-eyed male.

Rob, I don’t think East Asians were ever classified as white. Also what do you mean by European Indian? Do you mean the Indo-Aryans of North India who have more European-looking features? Roma?
