Ohio State Prof: Most Problems in US Traced to White Peoples' "Low Standards"
The Social Memo ^ | 3/21/17 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/21/2017 3:39:57 PM PDT by rightistight

Koritha Mitchell, an associate Professor of English at Ohio State University, has declared that most problems in the United States "can be traced" to "our country’s standards for white people."

Professor Mitchell wrote this on her personal website; her specific article was titled, "Low Standards for Whites. That’s What’s Killing Us."

"It doesn’t take much at all for a white person to be considered good," Mitchell argues. "As long as they avoid killing someone themselves, no one is going to demand anything else of them. Whites don’t need to do anything decent for anyone."

Most white people contribute little to society, Professor Mitchell writes, nor do they do things that help the "common good."

"White mediocrity is very much linked to violence against people of color," she adds. "Whiteness is a powerful set of beliefs that yield material outcomes... Whiteness (and the racism it facilitates) are not personal. That’s why a white man or woman doesn’t have to do anything particularly well to end up with above-average success."

Professor Mitchell continues, "We know that this is a racist country, that if history is taught the way it has always been taught, then white students will have role models and a sense of pride."

Additionally, the United States is "heterosexist."

Mitchell concludes her article, "Being white shouldn’t be enough to be considered good. Low expectations for white people. That’s what’s killing us. Please, do better."

The problem is white liberals have accepted/tolerated low standards for blacks.

LOL — Your image says it all regarding the “professor”. She’s clearly far, far from the right side of the bell curve.

quote “Most white people contribute little to society, Professor Mitchell writes, nor do they do things that help the “common good.”

interesting comment since 95%+ of ALL volunteer social workers I have ever known were white.

What is wrong with these people and how have they gotten away with being so ignorant and illogical?
Truly the public schools are the death of civilization.

I think all “white people’s contributions “ should be removed from his paycheck.

Yet more ravings from a black racist. They really came out of the woodwork these last 8 years.

Yes. I’m wondering if there is a website developed to display these stupid people and their pronouncements. Maybe then we can cull the media postings from them. That this woman felt “empowered” to write this is astonishing.

The "professor's" area of expertiese:

Koritha Mitchell specializes in African American literature, racial violence throughout U.S. literature and contemporary culture, and black drama & performance. She examines how texts, both written and performed, have helped terrorized families and communities survive and thrive

I’m starting to get the idea that the solution for all this is to become intensely vicious sh**heads so that the subtleties stop confusing these peanut-brains.
