A Michigan professor claims he has been 'systematically discriminated against for 40 years for being a white man', in a letter demanding an apology from his university over their new anti-racism policies.
Jeffrey Burl wrote to his employers, Michigan Technological University, after they passed a resolution criticizing 'anti-Blackness and systemic racism' in both the college and society.
In his letter Burl, who is an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, writes: 'I find this resolution particularly offensive because I, as a white male, have been systematically discriminated against for 40 years.

When these WOKE idiots can define anti-blackness and systematic racism without making s--- up and provide REAL examples of this so called racism being rampant, then we can discuss what to do. Until then, copulate off.

I have to agree with him, and its not just jobs. Any government aid anything the government had its hand in, went to non-whites first, and sometimes exclusively, "to make up for past dicrimination."
So... two wrongs apparently made a right?
Also, the standard of acceptable work was different. As an engineer, I was tasked to check and correct this man's (minority) work, who lied about working as an engineer at another company (he was a filing clerk) and he stayed there till he literally couldn't make it to work because of his drug habit.

What do they mean the professor "claims" he has been systematically discriminated against? What is Affirmative Action if not direct discrimination against people who do not happen to be female or a minority? If a minority or female gets preferential treatment, then someone else is discriminated against. Is that so hard to understand? The rationalizations that leftists use to justify their hateful treatment of others is disgusting.

Quotas and affirmative action - now there's a phrase - instead of merit kind of put the exclamation point on "system racism".

Affirmative action is the very definition of systemic racism. It's also systemic reparations. And it has been going on for decades already so why are Democrats still dreaming up even more schemes for reparations?

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger Professor.
A lot of whites who got passed over by Affirmative action got the same dose of discrimination.
Promotional tests dumbed down, Quota's , hiring preferences.

It should be pointed out that Michigan Tech is in the Upper Penisula of Michigan, over 500 miles from Detroit. The UP population is less than 2% Black.

We are currently living in a sick society. Liberals have created a racist society based on things that happened in the 1800's and back. Hundreds of thousands of WHITE PEOPLE DIED fighting a civil war to free the slaves. America was not a slave nation. Slavery was basically legal in one part of our country, not the whole country as people are led to believe. Since that time civil rights laws were implemented, voting rights laws implemented and affirmative action policies were put in place. Companies even put quota systems in place to guarantee, not only black employment, but promotions were given based on race. Blacks have their own colleges, their own TV shows, their own radio stations, they are dominant in the NBA, NFL and track and field. We have black senators, congressmen and had our first black president. They are actors and actresses, they are in every commercial on TV, in every magazine ad and are prominent in every news cast, broadcast and every sports show on TV. They are in every profession imaginable. Everything was moving in the right direction, UNTIL, Barack Hussein Obama was elected president. He then shocked everyone by labeling us, the United States of America, a racist nation. He then reiterated his racist rhetoric in speeches not only here but also in foreign countries. Barack Hussein Obama created the myth of systemic racism in our country and we have been going backwards ever since. Don't even get me started with crime in this country. I'm an American like every other citizen in this country, regardless of color. I'm done venting. Got it.

Do you know the term "crawfishing" - imagine the way that tasty little critter moves when frightened. There's a whole lot of crawfishing going on at the upper echelons of Michigan Tech. Like so many of the brainwashed leftists who wormed their way into the educational system of this country the useful idiots have no common sense, only a deadly ideology that leaves no room for forethought and that makes them dangerous to themselves and those around them.
