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.”

This “professor” got her professorship due to her white privilege. She should show solidarity by resigning her position and going to work full time at Wal Mart.

Here’s some black privelege: Have you ever seen a black dude who didn’t look good with a shaved head. I’ve never seen a black who didn’t look better bald. White guys, not so much.

People are borrowing money, and you and I are lending it to them so they can have their children indoctrinated by this “professor”.

Go to the back to the second third world places with no whiteness or history of whiteness. Then get back to us.

If I may mangle both a novel and Hollyweird film, I too suffer from the Unbearable Lightness of Whiteness.

I'm so white, I make fish bellys look absolutely George Hamilton.
I'm so white, I make Abominable Snowmen (and Snowwomen), bleach their fur out of jealousy.
I'm so white, the maker of White Out(TM) sued me for product infringement.

Anywho.

Mrs. Hyphen should be careful about teaching, “Recovering from Overwhelming Whiteness: Learning and Unlearning Rules about Race," as she is a fish-belly redhead.

Just think of the tuition money spent by students at those Universities on fool professors without so much as peep of protest!

Every race adds to the culture of a country because it’s in the genetics of each race. To try to erase that cultural contribution is racist.
