Angry white man' class offered at KU this fall

a reply to: Teikiatsu

There are no openings for white men.

They will invent a position for you, though, if you're brown and have a vagina (either real or surgically implanted).

As long as you hate white men.

And orange ones.

I think they have gone a bit far of course. There is sometimes an issue of the dominant class creating standards of thought and ideas of what should be. I see this problem as existing mostly in the past. However, it still bubbles up today.

The dominate class has been white males for a long time in western history and things just started to change now. I see no problem in looking at how this affected society and ways of thinking.

However, like most humans on all sides, they take everything off the deep end and away from rational debate.

Maybe this is due to the ying yang swing of the universes pendulum. Minorities, women, and alternative sexualities have been suppressed for so long. Once given a voice, and the opportunity to be a dominate voice, they glide beyond the neutral path and swing to the other side of the pendukum.

It's not very suprising. However, they do deserve the spotlight. It's just often misguided.

Exactly....except peeps start defending themselves, and are thusly portrayed as angry. When at the micro level...its just a peep trying make it in the world.

Is there an angry yellow man class? I’m asking for the angry yellow guy i saw at the store today.


I’m guessing ahead that the class will be full of angry people from the rest of the color spectrum.

Heres a perfect example of why white dudes are angry. Some freak threatens to kill Rep Omar and they blame it on white hate. Yet nobody says she is Jewaphobic when she makes anti isreal comments. Nobody calls out brown peeps as being honkeyphobic when they blame a white dude for something.

You cant have it one way people.

No one said anything? Did you miss the threads on ATS and other alt-right 'news' sites?

Who has not said anything?

I mean, looks like you're actually trying to have it both ways. Maybe the course is for you.

I mean, black person does something "ohh dem blacks "

Muslim does something "ohhh dem muslims"

"ohhh dem gays"

etc..

Starts happening to white...oh # gotta do something, now being mad is justifed.

Seriosuly just stop.

a reply to: AScrubWhoDied

Only western countries allow diversity at this level and to put blame on "angry white men" is only used to virtue signal and divide us all on race and gender. Its disgusting.

Do you think the east would transition to a diverse population without violence and massive pushback? Hell Muslims and Buddhist slaughter each other and they're the same race.

Courses like this is the reason the university system is broken. Useless courses about social issues mixed with massive debt and no skills to make money.

All they know how to be is a victim and protest. It's a business and they're selling BS

a reply to: JDmOKI

What are they supposed to offer?

You can't #LearnToCode. That's hate speech.

Does KU stand for Kenya University?

Only straight white men can be angry, racist, homophobic, bigots etc.. Don't everyone know that?

and people wonder why I have kept my college experience to the online area (besides cost savings), I don't have to put up with the stupidity that supports and pushes that type of thought.

a reply to: AScrubWhoDied

Actually I would like it one way....and that is to blame the person...not the race. But at the moment that is nigh impossible with everyone adding race+crime to the equation. Just stop that!

a reply to: Irishhaf

That is the problem though...you SHOULD be able to have an educated discourse in an acedemic setting without being accosted or accused of whatever. Hiding from it online means one misses a possibly enlightening discussion.

a reply to: Xtrozero

Ahh...its the ajectives that are the problem. BAN ADJECTIVES! 🤣😂

a reply to: lakenheath24

I agree 100%, but that is not the situation now a days people will get offended and rather than talk it through with you they will instead go cry to someone possibly causing problems for you.

Just thought a few peeps on here might be interested in this course. I wish I could take it because I am white, and I got angry just yesterday over something.....oh yeah...McDonalds "forgot" to put the BBQ sauce in my order. I didn't check it before I drove off.

So anyway, apparently angry, white dudes is an issue. So if anyone is in Kansas, can you take this course and please give me a synopsis so maybe I can calm myself down.

Cheers

ETA,
Here is a brief synopsis of said class. It involves Brits as well. Apparently they too are angry. Nothing on Russians or South Africans yet.

"This course charts the rise of the "angry white male" in America and Britain since the 1950s, exploring the deeper sources of this emotional state while evaluating recent manifestations of male anger," the university says. "Employing interdisciplinary perspectives this course examines how both dominant and subordinate masculinities are represented and experienced in cultures undergoing periods of rapid change connected to modernity as well as to rights-based movements of women, people of color, homosexuals and trans individuals."

wont work, I am a angry white guy and anger management classes just pissed me off

Can I take it even though I'm female? What if I identify as an angry white man?

Sounds like a good way to meet men actually.
