What is it about these leftist academe's, that they are so angry and wracked with "white guilt" over virtually everything celebrated in the United States?
Whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas, President's Day, or Independence Day, it is assured that one of these pointy headed intellectuals is going to crawl out from whatever liberal hellhole they have been marinating in to speak of the "inherent racism" of the country. To them, virtually everything about this country is racist. Not lost in all of this is the fact that it is men and women like this who we send our young people off to, to be "educated".
Even after electing a black man to the Presidency, not once, but twice, the left continues to pound the drums of racism. Not only is the country and it's first citizens all racists, as are all of our founding documents, but by virtue of DNA we are still racists to this day.
The question I have is this:
IF, as this guy, the University of Austin's Robert Jensen, and so many others of the lefts' illuminati seem to believe, this country is so unbearably racist, why do they continue to stay here? Why not move to, and become residents of, one of these so-called "tolerant" societies? Certainly, there must be literally dozens to choose from. The reason is because, contrary to these idiots' claims, the United States is the most tolerant, diverse country on the planet. For now.
Most people in this country want to just live their lives, have the opportunity to make an honest living , spend time with their family and friends, and really don't care, or even think much, about race/sexual preference/so-called income inequality/climate change, etc. It is the leftist ne'er-do-well's who obsess on this stuff. If it's hot, we turn on a fan, or the A/C, drink some lemonade, and deal with it. We don't automatically go: "Wow! The global warming is really kicking in today. I better not drive call Fred to see if he wants to car-pool in so we can lower our carbon footprint." We also don't think about whether our neighbor makes more than we do, not do we despise him if he does. It is motivation to do better.
OR, we may be satisfied with where we are. Happy that we don't have to put in the longer hours he or she does to maintain the bigger house and newer car.
Guys like this Professor Jensen are not the super-intellectual beings that they perceive themselves to be. In fact, they are small-minded, unhappy little plebes, wishing to rid themselves of their own guilt and pathetic self-image by inviting us to share in their misery.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Thanksgiving Celebrates Our 'Original Sin,' 'Views Virtually Identical To Nazis,' Journalism Prof Preaches
By Dan Gainor November 22, 2012
Forget all that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, today should be a day of fasting and atonement for American “sin.” That’s according to Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Jensen, known for his hard-left politics, also calls Thanksgiving a “white-supremacist holiday.”
Jensen’s opinion piece “
No Thanks for Thanksgiving,” appeared on the far-left, Soros-connected website Alternet on Thanksgiving eve. In it, he wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the “European invasion of the Americas.” He went on to compare the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany. “How does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?” he asked.
