Professor’s Appalling Rant to Students: Cops Are ‘Piggish,’ Conservatives Are ‘Schmucks,’ America is ‘Perverse Place,’ Need To Revisit ‘Useful’ Marxist Concepts

May. 31, 2012 10:43am Benny Johnson

According to The University of Pennsylvania Professor Philippe Bourgois:

Conservatives ”brutalize the poor” and are “mean-spirited schmucks”
Police are “rough, mean, vicious, nasty and piggish”
Police will make up charges to incarcerate you
Karl Marx is “useful” and we need to revisit his concepts
The prison system in America is “an unjustifiable outrage”
America is a “perverse place, not the Land of the Free”
Doctors “make tons of money” off the poor

There has been no shortage of partisan teaching in the news lately, but Professor Philippe Bourgois of The University of Pennsylvania may have just brought proselytizing from the lectern to a new low.

Bourgois, a Professor of Anthropology at Penn, gave a public lecture recently slandering police officers, conservatives, doctors and America itself, all while encouraging and complimenting the teachings of Karl Marx. The rant took place in front of students on the campus of Bryn Mawr College, located west of Philadelphia. The talk was a panel discussion entitled ‘The Transformation of Poverty Governance’ and revolved around how America is handling it’s welfare state.

The Penn professor began his remarks by noting a study that the greatest welfare discrepancy occurs in “conservative” neighborhoods. Bourgois then accused conservatives of “brutalizing the poor” before labeling all conservatives “mean-spirited schmucks.”

Professor Bourgois continued to define a culture of service discrepancy by discussing his neighborhood in Northern Philadelphia. He encouraged the students to study why police are “rough, mean, vicious, nasty and piggish” in his part of town. He went on to describe his version of police protocol, ”they’ll knock you to the ground, handcuff you, kick you” and than accused the officers of criminal injustice “They’ll make sure you get that felony no matter what by inventing that you beat them up with a baseball bat.”

Bourgois reminded the audience that “The McCarthy years” are over so “we need to dust out the very useful Marxist concepts.” Particularly, the professor mentions the Marxist concept of ‘lumpenproletaria‘, which describes people that are of no use in a revolutionary struggle and lists them as an impediment to the realization of a classless society. He determines that this term encompasses Americas poor.

Useful.

The Penn professor goes on to note that no one can make money off the poor “except prison contractors and prison Unions and doctors” who get to make “tons of money off obesity” and other diseases that “we impose on people with poverty.”

When the topic shifted to prison incarceration rates, Bourgois took dead aim at American society. Calling our rate of incarceration “an unjustifiable outrage”, he concluded that America “is not the Land of the Free” and rather, “a perverse place.”

Bourgois was forced to leave the panel early due to his University of Pennsylvania teaching duties, but noted his willingness to cancel on his own students, “It’s only because it’s the last class, otherwise I would have canceled it.”

Bourgois was joined on the panel by socialist UCNY professor Frances Fox Piven and Georgetown Policy Researcher Michael Lipsky.

I love it when Academics who make money off the public, criticize Capitalism. I wonder what his salary is. If Marx was right, he is a teacher, what is his great contribution, he doesn’t serve the state’s interests. Anthropology is a “perspective” science, it doesn’t serve a great purpose to the general populace.

  What poor Americans is he referring too? The ones who have AC in their homes/apartments, the ones with cell phones, TV’s (2each) DVD player and who can get food easily through EBT or the local pantry. Those poor people live better today than my nuclear American family of the 1970s where only my father worked as a city bus driver.
  
  These liberals distort and flat out invent lies to get their agenda moved forward. Nothing in American society matches up with what they put forward as truth. In America…Everyone gets to dance, everyone gets a shot, everyone gets a break and everyone can get ahead if they apply themselves and even if they do not thanks to an ever over reaching big government.
  
  My first duty station (circa 1982-84) was the Philippines where real poverty exists still to this day. I never saw happier people anywhere in the world. They did not know they were poor by our standards and they did not consider themselves victims. They got up everyday and put their best foot forward. Americans need to get back to this.

  Yes they are the first to get shot because they cannot be trusted not to actually start telling the truth about the real American system built around the US constitution. People are fickle that way. Put the boots to them, then they begin to see things a little differently. They begin to see the err of their ways and what they have wrought albiet for a very brief time…hopefully the Calvary can come over the hill, but I am afraid that when America fails, there will be no one to rescue us. Russia? China? Do we want to live under their rule?

  How can the United States of America allow this type person to teach our children? Why do people keep giving endowments to this type college?
  This man is a shame to America and should move where they appreciate communists, not here. That way he can be among his own, the socialist, marxist and communists and love their freedom if he doesn’t love ours.
  We need to kick the azzes of these anti-American professors out of all schools and higher education.

  It may be hard for some of you to admit, but he is right on everything but Marxism. Personally, I think that anyone who believes in socialist or marxist state should be deported to Cuba or China immediately. I don’t like it at all. BUT, you have to concede that we DO live in a police state and that our medical system is a farce, designed to keep you sick for longer and thus suck money out of you. It starts all the way at the bottom by regulating the “supply” of medical professionals to people who have attended a formal training school (nurses) or college and then a formal training (doctors). There is no reason why a person wanting to be a doctor should have to take 4 years of college and earn a degree in a field they will never use in order to become a family practice physician. They can learn all they need from a single course of study at a medical school. The normal physician is not doing calculus, organic chemistry, physics, micro-biology, or writing articles fit for publishing in his daily work.

  I had a prof in college that taught an upper level sociology class that was an admitted marxist. He taught this class as an indoctrination to his beliefs. I was already well into my 30s when I took this class so I already had my own belief system but most of the “mush-heads” in the class bought it hook line and sinker. There were a few that accused him during class time of indoctrination during the semester but he laughed it off and told tham that he was right and they were wrong about how things should work.

  @SGTB
  
  You are looking at the symptoms not the cause, the cause is “demoralization” since the 60′s, the ideological encroachment of “modern liberalism” aka socialism, the lack of personal responsibility, accountability and self reliance.
  
  The irony and logical fallacy from these “Leftists” intellectuals is that they promote marxism/communism/socialism as the solution to problems which have been creating by the very subversion of individual liberty and subtle incremental imposition of Socialism.
  
  These problem do exist but they have been exacerbated or created by the “modern liberal” ideology which has undermined the shared values and culture which binds Western society.. Marxism exploits or creates is a perpetual crisis. So, it is creeping Marxist ideology that has saved or created these problems..
  
  They have created an “open” society which is diverse, weakened and easily subverted.

  Your comment is completely accurate but watch out for the “scientifically proven” comeback. Fat poor people claim that the cheaper foods have more fat content, which is why they’re fatter even though they eat less.
  
  I don’t know where they grocery shop but I’ve found out, that a bag of brocolli, some carrots and or cauliflour, with some ceaser salad dressing for flavor, or some apples or oranges or something, is far cheaper than chips, tacos and candy.
  
  And I never cared for the vegies when I younger either with age I became afflicted with that “I can’t eat like I did when I was a hyperactive youth” condition.
  
  Also, a lot of the “I’m hefty cause I’m poor” people watch too much tv and I’ve never been able to do that without going for a snack.
  
  So something I did to change eating habits, when I found I was gaining weight, was go for a walk. It stopped me from automatically going to the fridge when I just thought I was hungry.
  
  And another little fact that seems to have escaped the perpetually unemployed, volunteer work. It’s not what you know it’s who you know, and a great way to get a foot in the door. Potential employers have a no risk opportunity to view your a work ethic and even if nothing comes out of it, you get out of the house, you ain’t eating all day, and you’ve helped somebody else out.
  
  Oops.
  
  I think I just went off on a rant.

Also you are incorrect about physics,chemistry etc… Are essential building blocks for medicine.for all of the complaining about cost let’s have areal discussion about medical costs multiple levels of bureaucracy defensive medicine and the legal climate.

  What is he talking about – Reagan was a Compassionate Conservative Republican.
  
  Reagan lowered the amount we spend on Welfare per recipient from a $47,000 cost to distribute just one recipient to under $20,000 – Then he raised the amount that Welfare Recipients get. He save Welfare.
  
  Today under Obama, America is now spending over $100,000 a year to pay just one Recipient. The Recipient get $10,000 a year in benefits – where is the rest of the over $90,000 going. NO BODY WILL TELL YOU. Not one Presidential Candidate today can tell you just how Reagan set Clinton up for a Balance Budget – In Clinton 1st year. Thanks Reagan – you were a great American.
  
  I predict that within one month after Obama’s Re-election – Welfare will be wiped out by Obama – Muslims don’t care one bit about those that can’t work – A Muslim believes they should starve or work. Yet, Millions of Welfare recipients follow the very man that is going to destroy them.

  I’m one of those chronically ill people who’s alive & doing well because I have excellent drs. I want my drs to be well-trained. Calculus, physics, & writing train the mind to think in ways other subjects do not. Organic chemistry, & micro-biology are directly related to medicine: learning human chemistry is vital. Micro-biology shows potential drs the level on which many illnesses are diagnosed & treated. Family drs today are not country drs of of the past. We can’t go back to that time. Medicine is different. Flannery O”Connor died of lupus in the ’50s. I undergo chemo every 6 mos & live a much fuller life than she ever could. It takes drs, including my family dr, w/ the training to diagnosis & treat me. I also have several other Lupus-related illnesses & live a better, fuller life because of well-trained drs. (My family dr diagnosed & treated a flesh eating bacteria. It was healed in 1 wk.) My illness is not the result of an unhealthy lifestyle. It’s genetic. Drs w/ adequate training r keeping people like me alive. 50 yrs ago, people like me die

If this guy sees a poor guy laying on the side walk , he wouldn’t walk around him , he’d kick in in the head ! Than ranting about the police _ just trying to muster up the OWS idiots to do something violent to a cop ! FILTH _ Years ago they would have hung em for treason !

Please move there. Your brand of leftist, liberal rhetoric is totally unwelcomed by the majority of Americans.

After listening to him my very first impression was “what a whimp. So police are so terrible? Well if someone breaks into your house idiot, why don’t you cal Ms Piven to come help you. You wouldn’t want those terrible police to risk their lives and come and rescue you, would you? Speaking of the great things that Marx has done, why not go to a country where they followed his teachings and see how the police treat people there? The former Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and Viet Nam are all known for how “enlightened” their police forces are. By “enlightened” I mean that they will “enlighted” your head by putting a bullet through it. And the Soviet Unions Gulags are well known for how gently they treat their prisoners, those who survive their visit to those fine facilities. As for getting rich off of poor people and forcing them in to obesity, just how do they do that? I thought that by definition poor people are, well, poor. As for being forced into obesity, what’s your answer? Stop giving them food stamps and money to buy food with? I guess that would work. You seldom see fat starving people. To quote B. Bunny “What a maroon”. I am sure that he is very grateful for tenure. An educated idiot.

  You all miss an important element in all of this. This is one of the guys that gets to become those thuggs that brutalize people in those other places. he does not think they are bad places any more than those that run those bad places. This kind of liberal really thinks that they should be in control of things and that when it turns into the hell we see there they think it’s justifiable. But as long as they are the ones in power that makes any action they take to stay in power okay. They will never see a marxist society from the vantage point of the oppressed because it is really all about them being the powerful ones so it always works fine for them. They are willing to sacrifice the entire world and see billions die as long as they get their way.. They will pat themselves on the back all the way till the end thinking they were the one that was right cause it got them theirs and to heck with you.

It would be interesting to see the demographics of the people in his audience, more so the parents of the mindless children who are footing the bill for their indoctrination by ignorant dogmatists like this guy. Here’s another “intellectual” who lives off the backs of the wealthy while taking every opportunity to attack his unwilling or unknowing benefactors.

If this idiot ever achieved his stated goals he’d likely be one of the useless proletariat sent to a labor camp to enjoy his Utopian dreamworld.

As to the doctors getting rich off the poor, ask any doctor and he’ll gladly explain that the reimbursement for Medicaid/Medicare patients often falls short of covering even the necessary supplies for a given procedure. Add the voluminous paperwork that accompanies each patient and the imagined profits are eaten away further by administrative and insurance costs.

One at a time:
“Conservatives “brutalize the poor” and are “mean-spirited schmucks” ”

Sometimes, sometimes not. Liberals always do it though.

“Police are “rough, mean, vicious, nasty and piggish” ”

Increasingly so, I’m afraid. Local are far better than city though.

“Police will make up charges to incarcerate you”

Absolutely true and it happens each and every day. You learn this if you actually exercise your liberties.

“Karl Marx is “useful” and we need to revisit his concepts”
Marx was an absolute idiot and his thoughts have caused more deaths in the world than any other person’s thoughts.

“The prison system in America is “an unjustifiable outrage” ”
It does suck, yes.

“America is a “perverse place, not the Land of the Free” ”

Half and half. We’re clearly not free any longer though.

“Doctors “make tons of money” off the poor ”
How does one make tons of money off people who, by definition, have no money?

  It’s funny you responded to the topic the way you did GHOST because I’ve seen more than one Libertarian, Ron Paul supporter, and others with the same basic “bent” rant just like this professor with a few minor tweeks just as you.
  
  I even read one Paul guy here on The Blaze defending Marx to a certain extent regarding Capitalism and new paradigms and stating that Marx coined the term Capitalism, therefor the definition must belong to his original interpretation. He also suggested that much many of what Marx has said might have come true?

  You’ve not disputed a thing I said. Our prison system does suck (it doesn’t rehabilitate, and in fact it’s considered “grad school” for professional criminal skills), cops are getting out of hand (the Blaze posts all kinds of articles about this), and if you knew a thing about liberties like open carry of firearms you’d know immediately that cops will invent “crimes” out of thin air in order to detain and arrest people for peacefully exercising their rights. This is no secret. And you’ve not disputed, with any kind of facts, any of it.
  
  Additionally, your Ron Paul obsession is rather tired. Get a new schtick, you’re the only guy brining him up in the conversation. Frankly, I’m not concerned with your obsessive compulsive neurosis. Discuss the topic, or plan on being ignored. Thanks.

  ——
  Really?? If that’s true, then why do RP supporters agree with EVERYTHING he says, except Marx? It’s a matter of PRINCIPLE not to agree with the enemy. You do agree that Marxists are THE ENEMY, right? My bad. You Paulists actually think EVERYONE but RP is the enemy. That’s why some of you joined the OWS crowd for a while there.
  
  => “Nothing about Ron Paul is Marxist, he is the polar opposite.”
  
  Not the polar opposite. Polar opposites don’t touch, and as I said, you all share grievances with American Marxists. In fact, you’ve borrowed some of their lexicon. Paulists call Republicans “the establishment,” and flaunt your “superior” understanding of the Constitution in almost every comment you post – just like the commies.
  
  Nope, the polar opposite of “evil” is “good,” and Paul is far from “good.” He is divisive, he is a career politician, he uses all sorts of shenanigans to try to retain power, and when he is caught expressing or allowing his people to express extreme (e.g., pro-Palestinian) views, he hands us the usual totalitarian-handbook lies: “I wasn’t aware. It didn’t happen. He (the whistle-blower) is lying. You are an uneducated fool.” And as sheeple, you follow suit. (CONT.)

  I can’t imagine God agreeing with Satan on ANYTHING, do you? It’s not that Satan always lies. Sometimes he tells half-truths. Sometimes he exposes faults, but his MOTIVE is always to divide and conquer. Most importantly — and this applies to you Paulists — when he criticizes GOOD people’s misgivings, he does it out of a hateful, spiteful heart.
  
  We are not “obsessed with RP,” as your GHOST pal claims. YOU (plural) are. YOU (plural) have joined with the Marxists against US conservatives, in this our time of greatest need. We are about to lose the Republic, and all you people do is join THEIR chorus about what is wrong with America and how you won’t vote for Romney because he is the same as Obama. You useful idiots are pathetic. If/when you stop your high treason, THEN we will hold our peace.

  Holding that there are problems with our prison system is high treason? Are you claiming that there are no problems with the prison system? Seriously? Saying otherwise is, again, high treason? Noting that there are problems that need addressed is somehow, treason? What?
  
  I mean, really?

  Is that spin or naiveté? Siding with the enemy in time of war is high treason. You bet I’ve got a problem with that.

  So you’ve been here a while…good for you. Still does not validate your stereotyping and assumptions. I don’t post a lot, I read and research. It may seem as though I’m acting as if we’ve had numerous conversations on here, but who cares how I talk to you, what does that matter? Your comments are so ignorant and false that someone needs to call you out, and I’ll be that guy from now on.
  **And once again you are wrong, I’ve had the same profile and name the entire time on this site. But keep thinking you know which end is up. Haha!
  **I have no problem defending others…I don’t see anyone being a cheerleader for you, no one backs up your comments, in fact more people disagree and make fun of you than anything else, so what does that tell you?
  As for original comments of my own, I don’t feel the need to state the obvious. For example, why would I post stuff about this professor that has already been said, there’s no need to call this guy a communist, liberal blah blah, when 20 people said as much already. Now maybe if there were only a handful of comments or people are missing the point, then I would post something. I’m not on here to make witty/funny comments. I like facts, plain and simple. But I will call out idiots like you who falsely accuse.

  @KRYPT
  Ron Paul doesn’t agree with everything he says:
  1. Conservatives “brutalize the poor” and are “mean-spirited schmucks”
  —umm Ron Paul has never said this, nor do any of his statements indicate that belief. If so, provide a link KRYPT
  2. Police are “rough, mean, vicious, nasty and piggish”
  —guess what Ron Paul never said anything like this either, so again KRYPT you are wrong, or provide a link. (do not confuse with his stance against the war on drugs)
  3. Police will make up charges to incarcerate you
  —I’ve never heard ROn call out police like this, have you?….link please.
  4. The prison system in America is “an unjustifiable outrage”
  —If anyone thinks our prison system is awesome, please stand up. I’m not sure Ron’s stance on the prison system, but I know he knows it’s far from perfect. So this may be the only one you are right on Krypt. But I’m glad.
  5. America is a “perverse place, not the Land of the Free”
  —RON PAUL WOULD NEVER SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS, nor does he believe that, so come on KRYPT i thought “RP supporters agree with EVERYTHING he says, except Marx”
  6. Doctors “make tons of money” off the poor
  —He is a doctor, so obviously he doesn’t feel that way, provide one statement, or link that can refute me…
  —————————————————————————————————
  So KRYPT, your statement, like TIME’s is incorrect.

  @KRYPT, you said:
  “You do agree that Marxists are THE ENEMY, right? My bad. You Paulists actually think EVERYONE but RP is the enemy. That’s why some of you joined the OWS crowd for a while there.”
  —Yes Marxists are the enemy, at least we agree on something. I don’t know any Paul supporters who are part of OWS crowd. I sure as hell am not. So are there, yeah probably, but these fools don’t make up the vast majority.
  
  You said, “Polar opposites don’t touch”…..ummm duh, I’m not retarded. And you said “you all share grievances with American Marxists”….ummm no we don’t (see my post to you above). In fact we share none.
  
  Do you not believe that there are establishment republicans? Of course there are, but Paul supporters can distinguish form an est. Repub to a const. Repub. At least I can.

  KRPTONITE; Kudos to your postings. You can obviously pin the tail on the other political “donkeys” and identify them for exactly what they are.

  That’s funny that you write that because you said the same exact thing the last time you posted to me then disappeared quicker than Ron Paul on his Pee Wee Herman bicycle riding off into the sunset. Will this second “calling out” be before or after I call out the usual suspects/insurgents for Libertarianism or Ron Paul? Should be fun! But stick to your “calling out” threat this time okay? It’s a bore when sombody doesn’t keep their promises.

  Stawwwwwp RE… you’re hurting my feewwwwings! Lol. Ask me if I care RE, but as I’ve stated before… I don’t care. I don’t need a cheering section on a comment/discussion board to make my world go ’round.

  Whoa! I said, “Why do RP supporters…” I was specifically referring to RP supporters commenting on this thread, case in pt., SGTB, GHOST, and YOU, who initially took sides with GHOST. Now it looks like you may have your differences (underscore “may;” experience has made me skeptical).
  
  It’s good to know that neither one of us is retarded. Paul would never be that candid.

  —–
  OK. Let me break it down for your Paulist view of reality.
  
  You agree with this prof that our prison system “sucks.” Do you also agree with his LANGUAGE? That America’s “incarcerated people” are “unfree people?” And that therefore we are a “perverse place?” That it has “specifically to do with race management?” That this “punitive carceralization” originates in “wrong methods of governance?”
  
  See, once you change the language, you are transforming the mind (aka indoctrinating). This “lecture” is one massive piece of communist indoctrination. So when you or Paul agree with a commie — and you both have — who is using the podium to attack our foundational makeup, then you are siding with the enemy. As a patriot, you have a right to want to effect change; you do not have the right to side with those who are trying to subvert America. Those are basic tenets of patriotism, and I shouldn’t have to spell it out for the RP crowd.
  
  On a personal note, I’ve come to the conclusion that most Paulists are at odds with God’s sense of justice. For example, hell has more incarcerated, un-free people than the human mind can grasp, despite how deeply it hurts God to send them there.

  Neither of you refuted any of my statements dealing with the subject at hand. Typical, when you have no facts to back up anything you say.
