Professors face racism, sexism, and homophobia charges

[4est_4est_Gump]

On August 9, University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax and University of San Diego law professor Larry Alexander published an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer calling for a revival of the bourgeois values that characterized mid-century American life, including child-rearing within marriage, hard work, self-discipline on and off the job, and respect for authority. The late 1960s took aim at the bourgeois ethic, they say, encouraging an “antiauthoritarian, adolescent, wish-fulfillment ideal [of] sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll that was unworthy of, and unworkable for, a mature, prosperous adult society.”

Today, the consequences of that cultural revolution are all around us: lagging education levels, the lowest male work-force participation rate since the Great Depression, opioid abuse, and high illegitimacy rates. Wax and Alexander catalogue the self-defeating behaviors that leave too many Americans idle, addicted, or in prison: “the single-parent, antisocial habits, prevalent among some working-class whites; the anti-‘acting white’ rap culture of inner-city blacks; the anti-assimilation ideas gaining ground among some Hispanic immigrants.”

Throwing caution to the winds, they challenge the core tenet of multiculturalism: “All cultures are not equal,” they write. “Or at least they are not equal in preparing people to be productive in an advanced economy.” Unless America’s elites again promote personal responsibility and other bourgeois virtues, the country’s economic and social problems will only worsen, they conclude.

The University of Pennsylvania’s student newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian, spotted a scandal in the making. The day after the op-ed was published, it came out with a story headlined “‘Not All Cultures Are Equal’ Says Penn Law Professor in Op-Ed.” Naturally, the paper placed Wax and Alexander’s op-ed in the context of Wax’s other affronts to left-wing dogma. It quoted a Middlebury College sociology professor who claimed that Middlebury’s “students of color were being attacked and felt attacked” by a lecture Wax gave at Middlebury College in 2013 on black-family breakdown. It noted that Penn’s Black Law Students Association had criticized her for a Wall Street Journal op-ed in 2005 on black self-help.

But the centerpiece of the Daily Pennsylvanian story was its interview with Wax. Wax (whom I consider a friend) is the most courageous truth-teller on American colleges today. Initially trained as a neurologist at Harvard Medical School, she possesses fearsome intelligence and debating skills. True to form, she stuck by her thesis. “I don’t shrink from the word, ‘superior’” with regard to Anglo-Protestant cultural norms, she told the paper. “Everyone wants to come to the countries that exemplify” these values. “Everyone wants to go to countries ruled by white Europeans.” Western governments have undoubtedly committed crimes, she said, but it would be a mistake to reject what is good in those countries because of their historical flaws.

This lit the fuse of the multicultural snowflakes that now dominate collegiate America and they have responded with vitriol, hate and intolerance...

These people are painting the Democrat Party into a corner.

These people think they are employing a winning strategy.

These people think that accusing everyone of being Nazis makes them stronger politically. Thankfully, not only are they wrong, but epically stupidly so...

Mainstream Democrats in politics are bewildered as much as repelled by Trump. They find him scary because their party that professes contempt for wacky Trump supporters somehow finds conservatives in control of all the traditional levers of political power, from the local to the state to the national level. There is no more Blue Wall, and Democrats know why.

Trumpism is insidiously predatory and picks off Democratic working constituencies like wolves do wandering sheep from the herd — with nocturnal howls to fair trade, reenergized industrialization, energy production, immigration enforcement, realism aboard, and infrastructure investment.

Likewise, savvy Democrats fear Trump because they had long preached that “demography is destiny” only to learn that lots of minority bloc voting in solidly red or blue states was not as electorally potent as a riled working white class in key swing states. The knowledge that the outsider and supposed fool Trump grasped that truth while both his Republican primary rivals and Hillary Clinton did not proves especially irritating. Hillary is now reduced to daydreaming about what a tougher Hillary might have said to Trump during the debate, incoherently bragging she was not intimidated as she proves that in fact she was.

What also scares mainstream Democrats is that Trumpism may have exposed an existential vulnerability of the contemporary Democratic party, heretofore known but rarely voiced: It is now a rich man’s, bifurcated party of the two coasts. It hates the culture of the middle classes (who lack both the romance of the poor and the refinement of the rich) and cynically relies on promises of never-ending entitlements for the underclass. It offers boutique issues for the affluent who, with winks and nods, are assured that they will have the clout and money to navigate around the messy ramifications of their own policy positions. In other words, it is tailor-made to empower a figure like Trump.

Progressives do not mind being called starry-eyed, utopian, impractical, or even socialist; they do fear being tagged as elitists by populists and economic nationalists, especially by a Manhattan billionaire. Trump has leveled that charge as no other Republican has since Ronald Reagan in 1984. Like addicts who know that their fix is both killing them and yet cannot be kicked, so too Democratic establishmentarians fear that their own identity politics are feeding Trump’s rise. Nevertheless, they would rather lose elections than forfeit a decade’s worth of race and gender investments. For now, they fool themselves into thinking that the latest Trump outrage is the longed-for final straw that crushes the presidential back.

Pussy Pelosi just condemned Anti Fa, polls must be bad

MSM turns on em as well, saying it proves Strong Horse Trump right

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., stunned a San Francisco audience Tuesday when she said that if President Trump "can learn and change," he could “be a good president.”

Talk about hurling a bomb at her constituency!


Can Claire be far behind? Polling doesn't look good for her reelection. She's running hard to the right and blasting the Obamacare that she voted for. She thought that by now, as everyone from the kept assuring us, that Obamacare was going to be both wildly successful and loved...

I think that the democrats are beginning to grasp the negative effects that antifa and BLM is having on their party. As pointed out in the articles, they don't quite know how to handle it.......yet.

The fact is that, as I've stated in other thread,s those groups have sparked a civil war. The questions are can it be stopped before it gets too bloody and just how bloody is it going to get if not?

adrina is a waste of time.

She begins with her unreserched a priori "knowledge" and then proceeds to tell you what is what and when you don't agree, she just starts name-calling. In this instance, she cannot be bothered to think about what is being said, so she just gets straight to the name-calling.

It's a rather tedious tactic, but it's all she has...

Up until this weekend, they appeared to be embracing it.

Then the polling results started coming in in places like Missouri where the incumbent Democrat is losing ground in her reelection bid and is trying to recreate her first campaign where she ran as an ultraconservative Democrat, as one of us, as one of the "deplorables," and then she went to Washington and morphed into an elitist Progressive with a speed that would impress Hussein Bolt.

I think, despite all their bluster and hopes of impeachment through victories in 2018, that they know that they are deep into the poo..

Did you get that from American Thinker?

You guys are funny. You bitch all day long about what utter snowflakes the left and the liberals are... but here you are... bitching all day long every day.

You be you snowflakes.

You'd think with a white Republican in the White House again, they'd be happy.

Yet they take umbrage at folks criticizing the goosesteppers in Charlottesville, and who knew there were so many situational "Lost Cause" fanboys here?
(All the more surprising when you consider the great likelihood that Busybody and AJ have likely never set foot in the deep South).

Snowflakes, the lot of them.

Trump certainly brings out the best in all Americans, that's for sure.
