Mizzou hunger strike against ‘white oppression’ started by rich college student

University of Missouri graduate student Jonathan Butler — the anti-white “privilege” protestor whose hunger strike led to the resignation of the school’s president — comes from a very privileged background himself.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday that he is the son of Eric L. Butler, an executive vice president for sales and marketing for the Union Pacific Railroad. Butler’s 2014 compensation was $8.4 million, according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to another report from Gateway Pundit, the family has a net worth of more than $20 million.

It’s interesting how a child of immense privilege can claim to be the victim of perceived privilege based upon his skin color.
