Fox jumps all over this story.

Boston University professor blames the white males for all that is wrong with the world.

Thoughts?

Gal has an attitude, IMO. I'm OK if she wants to spout such nonsense, but if I were a fellow faculty member there, I'd tell her to STFU. Sewing resentment sucks, whether its from the left or right.

What she did/does is race baiting. Fox News jumping in and making noise about it is also race baiting. Think about it.

Well if we had a daughter I would only send her to McGill or Carleton in Canada, or maybe Kingston. Women are second class citizens here.

As a white male myself I don't feel threatened or in any way hurt by what she is saying. I find her position to be understandable given the history of this country and the conditions that still prevail.

It's unfortunate that this will be used by the white bigots on the right to attempt to justify the absurd notion that black on white racism is a problem.

Shit, I've been a beneficiary of white privilege all my life and I know that's not going to change in my lifetime. Black people are pretty much powerless to do anything about it.
