Angry white man' class offered at KU this fall
As a member of this bastard class.
I've never had to be taught how to be angry or the reason I am.
This is what passes for higher education people.
Let it sink in.

How can someone let something sink in that someone knows nothing about?
I wonder ...
Since, in modern times, we are told that we are not to talk about why certain groups are this and that because we do not understand the authentic day to day experiences of those groups, why is it that a class like this can be offered through the women's and gender studies department and taught by someone in that dept. who would presumably by a female prof and not an actual white man is considered legitimate?
Wouldn't it be as inauthentic as only considering the voices of whites on blacks and the black experience is considered to be?
*EDIT*
Ep, nope. This guy is teaching it, but looking at his academic publishing history, his area of real expertise is apparently fat shaming, not study on angry white men.

Thats what I am saying. I just eanna see what all the fuss is about. I would even pay to watch a video feed. I can imagine their would be a lot of group hugs, medals given out, and self-congratulatory jazz hand applause.

"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."
I think the biggest issue is the red flag you're missing in the quote above.
This class wants to focus on the anger of the only person without special privileges. It points blame towards the rapid change of people considered "people of color" meaning anything other than white, then it pushes blame of anger towards women, then gays, then trannies.
So even though the above mentioned are all infighting with each other, the class is aimed at the anger of white males.
This is beyond ignorant and anyone dumb enough to take it deserves the brainwashing they'll get and the letdown they'll face in the future when they come to realize that white people aren't the problem.

This is an attempt to teach the students to view a segment of the population as less than human, to contextualize anything the white male does as a product of his anger at not winning.
It's that scene from planet of the apes (the original, with Charleton Heston as the, um, angry white male), where the ape-scientists have been gathered to explain why this one human has the power of speech, when every ape knows that humans are not intelligent enough to use language.
I'll go ahead and type it.
This civilization is falling over and drowning in a puddle of it's own schist. The ones who kept the whole thing running were the risk takers, the low-status males. In every primate troop, its the peripheral males who take the risks, who explore the unknown and perpetrate the violence against the other neighboring competitor-troops. In a working society, those peripheral males are rewarded for their risks. In ours, the elites have decided they no longer need the workers. Like in France in 1789.
Our snivelization no longer thinks it needs peripheral males to take the risks and fight the wars.
Almost half the spree-shooters are minority---they just classify them as white once they commit murder. Seriously. The FBI counts males of Mexican ancestry as white if they are charged, and "non-white hispanic" if they are victims. This way the counts are controlled to match demographics. For the same reason, some crimes are not counted as "hate crimes" because they would screw up the demographic template that it is white men committing the hate.
the prime example is the shooter in the gay night-club in Florida. He is classified as "white" so his evil could be classified as a "hate crime." Even though he spouted off about islam in his final rant. The FBI maintains that since he was born in the US, he was "white" and the fact that he was seethed in conservative islamo-fascism is not relevant. So he is a statistic on the "right-wing domestic terrorist" scale...
So, how can you change your race to white? Go on a shooting spree, and be given "honorary white" status.
Even so, the mechanism for this kind of radicalization is uniform: Disaffected young men are recruited by overt appeals to their egos and desire to appear heroic. The appeals often employ transgressive rhetoric, with everything from racist humor to threats of violence, making participants feel that they’re being edgy and dark. The main fodder for their evolving worldview, however, is conspiracy theories.
These theories all tell the same larger narrative: That the world is secretly run by a nefarious cabal of globalists (who just happen to be Jewish), and that they employ an endless catalog of dirty tricks and "false flags" to ensure the world doesn’t know about their manipulations, the whole point of which ultimately is the enslavement of mankind. Each day’s news events can thus be interpreted through the up-is-down prism this worldview imposes, ensuring that every national tragedy or mass shooting is soon enmeshed in a web of theories about its real purpose.
"On Twitter, ISIS’s preferred social platform, American white nationalist movements have seen their followers grow by more than 600 percent since 2012. Today, they outperform ISIS in nearly every social metric, from follower counts to tweets per day."
