Whiteness is a threat

It is truly sad how non white racism is ignored, apologized for and dismissed. Usually by the very same SJW types that are on the case if the perp is white.

Usually, these people tend to be liberals but wont publically identify as one.

Wow, you are such a victim. Ignore the haters in the thread, they just don't understand how rough it is for you being white in a white world.

I mean I just feel so bad for you living in a country where the majority of people in charge are the same race and gender as you and you probably face little to no discrimination in daily life. Sad!
 
Another crazy "professer" spewing racism in our universities. She say's whiteness poses an "existential" threat to America. Could you imagine if a white professor said "Blackness is an existential threat to America"?

It looks like racism is no just for Trump voters anymore!

“The Elephant in the Room: A ‘Grown Up’ Conversation about Whiteness” propaganda piece will be presented by Lisa Anderson-Levy, an Anthropology professor at Beloit College whose teaching philosophy is predicated on the belief that “teaching is a political act.”
During her lecture, Anderson-Levy is slated to speak on a number of issues, including “the violence of whiteness” and how colleges and universities in the United States may be complicit in perpetuating this violence.

“This presentation explores the ubiquity and violence of whiteness and the ways in which academic institutions are poised to either reproduce or interrupt these discourses,” writes Anderson-Levy, referring to herself in the third person.
“She argues that whiteness poses an existential threat to social, political, and economic life in the U.S. and proposes that decentering whiteness is one of the most urgent social dilemmas of our time and demands our immediate attention,” the abstract adds.
Anderson-Levy will also speak on how college administrators can “decenter whiteness” at their institutions, “including in our budgets, our curricula, our disciplinary genealogies, our interactions with students, and our relationships with each other as colleagues.”

WTF kind of horse**** website is that? Overpasses for America LOL Give me a break, you people are a joke

Without seeing what the actual argument she makes, your op offers nothing but a facile critique based on triggered reactions to what it is believed to mean

For example, a quick Google search shows that your claim about racism is probably untrue as her issue is not white people but how people of all races perceive whiteness

https://culanth.org/fieldsights/133...paradigm-shifts-and-the-ubiquity-of-whiteness



Your cries about racism confirm her claim that, because she is black, she is assumed to have a racist agenda

Yup, you didn't even have to read the actual nonsense on that website to know, these are completely transparent and unoriginal. THey can't ever actually argue using facts and logic
 
Not taking the time to verify information is intellectually flabby.

In that case, will you admit to being intellectually flabby when you implied this lecture was going to be held in a classroom for students, without first verifying where this lecture was going to occur?

What would you say if a prof were lecturing on how blackness poses an existential threat?

I would say that one would have to hear her actual argument before making any conclusions because jumping to conclusions is intellectually flabby

Pretending this professors use of the word "whiteness" has nothing to do with the white race is absurdly dishonest. Nothing in her own words indicates it is anything more than a reference specifically aimed at white people. Leave it to a leftist to redefine words to attempt to change an inconvenient topic.

I suppose "ubiquitous white violence" refers to the easter bunny?

I think it is cute when you pretend to be familiar with her words when all you know is about a couple of dozen of her words, at most.

That was a dumb website, but you can find out about the good prof on CampusReform, too.

I suppose if she claimed to be studying whiteness and had not made other racist comments, a link to an unrelated wiki might be relevant to something or other...

Yes, what whiteness means is irrelevant to what this professor said about whiteness.:lamo

Bob has now been reduced to arguing that what whiteness means is irrelevant to the issue of what this professor says about whiteness.

His race-baiting pov makes him thing whiteness means white people

Just keep your head in the sand and join the crowd.

Another one who cant be bothered to google a university web site^. Just ad hom and make it go away!
 
In what time range are we allowed to take examples from?

Oh, this decade? Whatever you think is appropriate, knowing in advance that somebody will distinguish between contemporary/current and history?

Ah, but you see, the problem is that what we see today didn't happen in a vacuum, and is a reaction to things that did happen in history. It hasn't even been a hundred years since black folks wouldn't be allowed in the school where this professor was speaking.

Anyway, after I hit submit on my question to you, I kinda regretted it, looking at how this thread has shaped up. You can ignore me, I'm sure there's no reason why demographics traditionally and historically marginalized by white people would fear or distrust us, or be angry with us, or consider us a threat.....none at all......I mean, if we tell them racism doesn't exist, and white people aren't a threat due to their statistical advantages in society, they should believe us.

Off to other threads, enjoy the lynching. :2wave:

Okay then, but I'm sorry you feel this way, and I'm interested in your opinions.

It's all good...and hopefully you didn't think that comment was directed at you personally, sometimes I forget I can be vague. I just suddenly became quite exhausted reading through some of the other comments, and once in a while I just have a day where I can't anymore. Ever get that way? Like, overdose on division? Ya...sometimes it hits me stronger than other times. There's a lot of hurting people in the world, on all sides of every debate, and most of whom just want the same, basic things as those they claim to be up against. Sometimes, and sometimes suddenly, I just can't do it anymore.

Until the next flash of knee jerk outrage, anyway... ;)

Thank you for clarifying; I did think you were directing the comment to me. You and I agree: Most of us, irrespective of tribe or culture, want the same things--to be able to work, rear our children, and love our families in peace. Sometimes, I just have to walk away shaking my head too.
 
It is racist to study white people and white culture

Apparently mentioning race or addressing social issues is racist white genocide. Convenient for a particular ideology/agenda, I'd say.
 
So when righties supported a teacher being fired because she was a stripper or porn star, was she stripping or having sex in the classroom? No. So what difference does it make to you if she did it in the classroom or not? Please keep consistency here.
Actually as I recall on this very debate site, there was a pretty fair mix of left and right that came down on both sides on whether or not she should have been fired. So I kind of suspect maybe you are fabricating a lie in a self serving manner. Whether you KNOW you are doing it or not...who can say.....

FYI - While nota bene is demanding you find an example of this being taught in a classroom, the professor in the op is NOT giving this lecture in a classroom
 
so what?

I do hope you understand that colleges are supposed to foster discussion of a wide variety of viewpoints

Uh oh. White victims could whip themselves into a nor'easter over this. Prep the snow plows and mark the routes to a safe space.

So, you are both ok if she said "Blackness is a threat"? Yes or no.
