New in PJ Media:
If you or your child or your favorite nephew/niece (that last one is often the same person nowadays) are lucky enough to be enrolled in the University of Kansas (KU) this fall, be sure to register for a course that promises to plumb the depths of one of the most disturbing phenomena on the contemporary landscape: “Angry White Male Studies.” Yes, it’s real.
If you have surveyed the contemporary scene, with its skyrocketing inflation, fictional Southern border, gas prices that more than doubled and then went down a few cents, enabling Old Joe Biden and his cronies to crow about the tremendous job they’re doing, the massively expanded and weaponized IRS, and the politicized and corrupt FBI, you might reasonably conclude that the biggest problem is nation faces today is white males such as Biden and his henchmen, who are clearly angry with the American people and want them to suffer. But those angry white males are not, needless to say, the ones this KU course is all about.
“This course,” says the KU course description, “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. 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.” Underneath the academic gobbledegook (“dominant and subordinate masculinities”), the agenda of this course is clear: it’s going to be all about how white men, depicted in the course as conservative, Trump-supporting, racist, redneck, uneducated yahoos, are bewildered and angered by the changes in America over the last few years and are lashing out at the classic protected victim classes, “women, people of color, homosexuals and trans individuals.”
According to a Sunday report in the Toronto Sun, “the course will be taught by Christopher Forth, who is a professor of history, serving in the departments of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and American Studies.” Forth is, lo and behold, a white male, but we can be sure that he isn’t angry, no, not one bit, and why should he be? He is a Professor of History and the Dean’s Professor of Humanities at KU, he is a member of the enlightened academic elite, and he holds all the Correct Opinions. What on earth could he possibly have to be angry about?
There is more. Read the rest here.
Namer says
Seems like Christopher is the only angry white male.

Why don’t they study the epidemic of white males committing suicide because of the demonization of white males promoted by courses like this one?

avoiding the facts is what I enjoy to read of University educated brain dead professors think they have there fingers on the pulse of the country. It all started with POTUS #44 and when #45 turned out to be a boy and not a girl which that girl would have been #44 third term. they lost 4 years of which uncovered all that is wrong with the party of #44 & now #46. Not since the 60’s have we have this divide being pushed by of all people the POTUS. One side is fighting for out very right to survival, The number at this likes of University professors have destroyed education to push the NWO let’s see if my post will be allowed
Infidel says
This study should focus on members of Antifa, who are largely angry white males. It would cover the study’s subject, while actually focusing on the core of this pathology
Wellington says
Seconded.

The best way to identify when a white male is angry is when his face turns red. When it turns blue he is frustrated and when it turns green he is sick. When it’s purple he’s probably bruised and when his face turns gray or as white as a sheet, he’s probably dead. When his face is closest to a tannish white though, he’s probably as safe to be around as anybody else until you start telling him he’s something he’s not. He likes his freedom to think for himself. Take that away and, yeah, he gets angry.

Riddle me this : Which Race and Gender built the modern world we are all living in today, who invented the Telephone, Television, Computers, Electric Power, Cars, Trains Planes, Cruise Liner Ships, Rocket Ships, anything and everything we use on a daily basis was built, invented, and created by Caucasian MALES.
Prove me wrong?..
We may get angry when folks dont recognize that FACT but we dont run around whining that life has served us a bad deal, unlike a certain people I could mention…
Wellington says
Agreed. It’s Caucasian Male Envy (CME). Looking big picture here it was white males who first divorced reason from religion and thus invented philosophy (ancient Greeks), invented democracy (ancient Greeks), the scientific method (Early Modern Europeans), and, as you referenced, the most extraordinary technological legacy of any civilization or society in history. All overwhelmingly done by white males with a few exceptions here and there (e.g., Marie Curie). I would add that white males of the West eventually extended rights to women such as no other males have done throughout history and eventually expanded numerous rights to others (e.g., black Americans) such as no other males have ever done.

Jealousy and envy invite hatred and hatred invites lies. Or, jealousy and envy “breed” hatred and lies.
there must be many who are jealous of what Men have accomplished, must envy the White Man for all he is able to think up and then do and mostly for the way he has honored his family by working hard and taking care of them.
Of course, not every White male is a White Man, and no one is jealous of them; some of those “males” are jealous, however and take it out on those they most envy. they may be the same shade of skin tone, but they don’t think the same, and thinking differently, they act differently.
this professor is a White “male.” what else can one expect from the envious?
Keith O says
Apparently working our arses off over several generations to support not just our families, but our nations and society in general and then watching our hard work being destroyed, gives us no legitimate, socially acceptable reason to be angry. Well who’d da thunk it!
I have been watching these mindless cretins whinge and complain for a couple of decades now and yeah, I’m bloody angry. These “social engineers” have caused me to develop a case of OCD.
Old Cranky and Dangerous and some of them have learned the hard way that poking the bear can be a bad idea.
OLD GUY says
Well gee Just when I thought I was identified as an old white racist, they come up with the idea that I’am now an Angry White Male. I guess when you put that together I’ve gone from the average working class middle income family man to an Angry White Old racist male without even knowing it. I’am sure glade that these highly educated professors at our publicly funded Universities are offering these studies.
What about the old angry white women? How could you ;eave them out?
And funny when all the riots and burning of our cities took place I did’t see any old white men in the crowds that were burning our cities down. It was mostly young people being lead by ANTIFA and BLM.
K.U. you are studying the wrong group.
