  Her statements were as follows:
  

  "why is white america so reluctant to identify white college males as a problem population?"

  every MLK week i commit myself to not spending a dime in white-owned businesses. and every year i find it nearly impossible.

  The woman is black, but imagine if the statements were reversed. :RpS_angry:

  But I thought racism only went one way?

  Show me a black person that doesn't blame anyone else for what ails him or her and I'll show you an honest and likely successful person.

  Very ignorant statements the woman is delusional.

  You take out one word, and it pretty much still applies.

  What's even scarier than white college males is this woman teaching students.
  
  Politics has no place in the classroom. And when something is not established fact, both sides of the issue should be discussed so as to remove bias and agendas. And for that matter, teachers should stay firmly in their area of expertise - i.e. an accounting prof should not be teaching or expressing views on global warming

  This really shouldn't be that hard in the Boston metro area. She's either lazy or not willing to pay the premium over big box stores, or she's afraid/unwilling to go out of her way living in what I'd guess is a predominantly white neighborhood.

  Thanks for the comment.
  
  The reality is, this is what is being taught in universities across the country in sociology and humanitarian classes. They are no different than the male bashing the occurs in Women's studies, which is blaming all problems for women on white males(or males in general).

  My roommate is a die hard lib. We were having a discussion on women discrimination in the workforce and she said I was not allowed to have an opinion because I am not a woman and have never been thru the hardships of any woman. LOL

  You should tell her she's closed-minded and intolerant, and that's probably her REAL problem.
