Professor Lectures Ohio U Students about “Recovering from Whiteness”
IOTW Report ^ | 3/14/17 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/14/2017 1:04:25 PM PDT by rightistight

Christa Preston Agiro, an associate professor at Wright State University, spoke to Ohio University this month in a speech titled, “Recovering from Overwhelming Whiteness: Learning and Unlearning Rules about Race.”

The point of her talk was to discuss “the many times during her life where she unfortunately benefitted [sic] from white privilege.”

Dr. Agiro, who earned her doctorate in cultural studies from Ohio University, said that during her childhood, she only heard “the white side of the story.”

However, when she attended Ohio University, her eyes were opened by Professor Najee Muhammad. “He was both an agent and a witness of transition for me. One where I began to ask questions and seek things I haven’t seen before and began a forever journey in my re-education,” she explained.

As a professor, Dr. Agiro says that she is trying to use her white privilege to help people of color, whom she says have been marginalized.

“We live in a world that legitimizes the white voice,” Professor Agiro said. “We can’t isolate those who we think are getting it wrong. We have to welcome new allies because we can learn from anybody.”

Substitute any color for white in these ‘academic’ lectures and it sounds no different to a David Duke or Tom Metzger speech.

They are stealing their salaries and it’s time to cut off funding.

The phenomenon is called majority priviledge. It is a form of tribalism. Happens everywhere. Nothing to do with “whiteness”. I will put it that non-whites do better in a white majority society than whites do in majority non-white societies.

Well, then, she should give up her professorship and give it to someone who isn’t White.

Also, she should give all her money away.

Obviously the left is so passionate about eliminating Whites from this country that it is overcome with guilt about being White and has become delusional.

I go back to my fallback position on this stuff: Who told you that, and why did you believe them?

It’s amazing the kind of tripe you can get people to listen to just because you have an alphabet before or after your name.

No the Professor is a guilt ridden loon. She has been misled into an insane perspective on inter-group relations, by the Pied Pipers of faux grievances. Her remarks are fit only for satire.

This does not enhance the reputation or our State Universities!

Re-education is an area where these universities excel.

With dummy Participation Trophy kids to program, it has never been easier.

What would they ever do without her?

So this professor was able to speak, but the Left won’t let Milo and others speak at Universities? The Right needs to do something about this to not let themselves get trampled on.

Is there an antidote if someone catches whiteness?
