At the very moment when the issue of race might at long last have been put to rest, it is now becoming the most important issue of all.
The decades since the 1960s saw the growth of black studies in American universities. The courses started out in part as a way of de-stigmatizing the group and educating people about a crucial aspect of their history.
But, just as a popular strand of feminism turned from celebrating women to vilifying men, a portion of black studies started attacking people who were not black. A discipline intended to de-stigmatize began to re-stigmatize. This has led to the growth of whiteness studies a discipline that is now taught at all of the Ivy League universities in the US.
Oxford Universitys Research Encyclopedia describes whiteness studies as: A growing field of scholarship whose aim is to reveal the invisible structures that produce white supremacy and privilege.
Whereas black studies celebrates black writers and black history, and gay studies brings out gay figures from history and pushes them to the fore, whiteness studies is committed to disrupting racism by problematizing whiteness, according to Syracuse University professor Barbara Applebaum, who wrote Oxfords definition. This is to be done as a corrective.

Because today it’s illegal to judge people by the “content of their character”. The color of their skin is much more important.
“Oxford Universitys Research Encyclopedia describes whiteness studies as:A growing field of scholarship whose aim is to reveal the invisible structures that produce white supremacy and privilege.”
BS - the correct definition is:
A growing field of rabid racism meant to denigrate the incredible achievements of white people and to guilt them into surrendering a large chunk of their hard earned wealth.
Because too many have ignored Dr. King’s “content of character”.
If current projections are correct and this nation is on it’s way to becoming majority Hispanic, future blowback awaits.
“Altered Carbon” actually has several cases of race and gender crossing via downloads.
The book has the Asian main character dumped in a white host. And his immortal Asian sister intentionally presents herself in a white female body to rich elites and black male body to subordinates to hide her identity. Oh, and she’s considered depraved for using a child host body at times, also white.
Interesting the SJWs don’t complain about the falsely imprisoned mother’s personality downloaded to a white guy body (because nothing else is available) and meets the black husband for dinner to talk about their daughter. That the black-white heterosexual couple trying to save their interracial daughter becomes a black-white homosexual couple for the mission ...
The SJWs don’t care about that sexuality bender at all. They applaud it, don’t you love me despite my body? But they attack the white guys who aren’t the bad guys, because they’re white.
That’s racism.
As a cartel (united by the tight coordination of its members via the wire services), major journalism has a clearly identifiable perspective. The perspective of major journalism is that societys failings (and not its virtues) are important - and that journalists are important because their mission is to identify highlight the failings of society and to promote government correctives.
I know this will sound racist and perhaps it is.
But, you really think these dunces:
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton
