Academic Now Claims White, Rural Americans are the Real ‘Threat'
2024-03-05
[Gateway] ’They’re the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, geodemographic group’

An academic, one member of that class of mostly leftist elites in America’s universities who are more than happy to tell others what to think and how to live, now claims it is rural white people who are the real threat to the nation.

The details of the rant from Tom Schaller, who works at the University of Maryland, was documented at Trending Politics.

#21  Whatever truth there may or may not be in timmy's stereotype troping, put 'Academics' in that list and it leads by a country mile, over all others combined.

The city dewellers might want to remember their electrical power is generated in and flows thru rural areas. Their Gas and food comes from or thru rural areas. Without the rurals they'd freeze, burn and starve.

We are real threat to Obama's third-world marxism as it is unacceptable to us.

#14  There's good reason why "that's all academic" means what it means.

Take a look at what we do to cities when it's time to get rough.....
Nothing beats the Mongolian approach. Visualize Baghdad in ruins with nearby mountains of severed human heads rotting away for months or years on end. The smell alone would have been enough to gag maggots. The optics of bombing aftermaths are nothing like that.

#6  Number of (urban) academics in America vs number of rural (non-urban) white Americans. I think the "Rurales" are ahead on that.
The amount of food, energy, and transportation generationed by (urban) academics vs number of rural (non-urban) white Americans. I think the "Rurales" are ahead on that one.
Number of (urban) academics that have combat experience vs the number of rural (non-urban) white Americans. I think the "Rurales" win on that one.
My money is on the non-urban population in the coming fight.

Deliverance pissed off a lot of Georgians and especially those in Northeastern Ga Rabun County.

The locals I met there, were good country folk and far from RACIST.

The incoming "Half-backs" on the other hands seem to better fit the stereotype portrayed in the movie.

It seems US College Educators are White-phobic, Moral-Phobic Racists. That don't mind raking in tons of White $$$$$$$$$$$$ writing books and spewing rants to promote their sale.

#1  Many participate in private land ownership and small businesses. Others attend religious gatherings. Some are even distrustful of centralized governments. Many others do not accept global warming.
