Penn State Professor Tells White Student ‘You’re Breathing … So You May Have Oppressed Somebody Today’
Pennsylvania State University is defending a professor who pulled a white student in front of his class and told him that he’s breathing, so he may have oppressed someone today.
Professor
Sam Richards, who teaches the 700-student “
SOC119: Race and Ethnic Relations” course, pulled students up before the class on June 30 to discuss white privilege.
“I just take the average white guy in class, whoever it is, it doesn’t really matter,” Richards said. “Dude, this guy here. Stand up, bro. What’s your name, bro?”
The student, Russell, stood up to face the class.
“Look at Russell, right here, it doesn’t matter what he does,” the professor continued, according to a report from
Campus Reform. “If I match him up with a black guy in class, or a brown guy… who’s just like him, has the same GPA, looks like him, walks like him, talks like him, acts in a similar way…and we send them into the same jobs…Russell has a benefit of having white skin.”
The professor then asked Brian, “Who have you oppressed today?”
“I haven’t oppressed anyone today,” said Brian.
“You’re breathing. Have you left your house today?,” replied Richards.
“Yes,” Brian said.
“Okay, so you may have oppressed somebody,” Richards concluded.
As someone commented:
"Whites are only 16% of the world's population yet are the most industrious and innovative race the world has known. Whites unlocked the secrets of DNA and relativity, launched satellites, created automation, discovered electricity and nuclear energy, invented automobiles, aircraft, submarines, radio, television, computers, medicine, telephones, light bulbs, photography, and countless other technological miracles.
Whites were the first to circumnavigate the planet by ship, orbit it by spacecraft, walk on the moon, probe beyond the solar system, climb the highest peaks, reach both poles, exceed the sound barrier & descend to the oceans depths."
This is pure abuse and hatred from this so called professor... I believe I would spit on his fucking face if he were to talk to me like that. I for one will, NEVER, EVER apologize for being White. I will stay proud of my ethnicity and share it's great accomplishments...
