One of my friends, who is a sociology major, was talking to her friend Javier, another sociology major. She then said something about discriminating against white people. Javier stopped her, "What do you mean?" She explained to him that it was possible for white people to be discriminated against. He still wasn't getting it.
He didn't know that white people could be discriminated against, not even on a conceptual level.
And he is a sociology major.
I got in an argument about this once with a sociology professor.
He maintained that discrimination and racism were only possible by a dominant culture because their entrenched hegemony allows them to inflict consequences on other cultures... and that therefore, because white people are the #1 dominant culture, it is impossible for them to be discriminated against, or even to have people be racist against them.
I called bullshit on that, and he was so offended that I disagreed. Apparently, a non-white person who does something bad to me just for being white is not being racist or discriminatory, because that is his legitimate reaction to my membership in the dominant culture. Buh.
But I still had one of the highest grades in the class because I was majoring in the sciences and knew how to study, unlike his mush-headed sociology students. During lectures, you could see him die a little inside every time one of his students raised their hand and asked "is this going to be on the test?"
Colonization/hegemony was the major theme of the class. The kicker? This upper-division class was called "Interethnic Relations". A bit misleading.
i like sociology, but after i got through two sociology classes i realized that if i took anymore i would start slicing bitches up left and right because people in/teachers of sociology classes are crazy.
" Racial tensions had simmered at Jena High School and in the small town for the first three months of the 2006 school year after a black student asked the vice principal if he and some friends could sit under an oak tree where white students typically congregated. Told by the vice principal they could sit wherever they pleased, the student and his pals plopped down under the sprawling branches of the shade tree in the campus courtyard.
The next day, students arrived at school to find three nooses hanging from those branches."
I could be recalling that Jena thing wrong, but wasn't there an incident where a white guy unrelated to the events with the nooses was picked out by around 6 black students and beat for merely being white?
Preacher on
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

he made fun of a black kid that was beat up earlier
then he got beaten up, and went to a party later that night
the black kids were charged with attempted murder
More precisely, the campus has a tree that's considered the "white tree". Some black kids sat under it one day and the next day there were a bunch of nooses hanging from it. Superintendent blows it off as just being a joke. More black students sat under the tree in protest. District attorney comes to the campus with police demanding that they end their protest and apparently states, "I can be your best friend or your worst enemy... I can take away your lives with a stroke of my pen." (I don't know what was replaced by the ellipses)
A series of undefined white on black "incidents" followed with the DA taking no action. A white student gets beat up and the DA charges six black students with attempted murder and conspiracy to attempt murder. The assaulted white student was taken to a hospital but released the same day and was well enough to attend an unspecified social function the same evening.

They are Vikings.
Their giant eyebrows channel the oceans of blood away from their eyes so they can effectively rape your womenfolk and fuck up a dragon with an axe.
But our vikings are nothing compared to those crazy, bloodthirsty Danes...
