At Arizona State University (ASU), students can now learn about the problem of whiteness in America.
The public university is offering an English class to its students this semester called Studies in American Literature/Culture: U.S. Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness.
According to the class description on ASUs website, students will be reading The Possessive Investment in Whiteness, Critical Race Theory, Everyday Language of White Racism, Playing in the Dark, and The Alchemy of Race and Rights.
At time of publication, 18 students were enrolled in the course offered at ASUs Tempe campus. Students can receive three credits for successfully completing the course.
The class syllabus is not available online.
"I think it shows the significant double standard of higher education institutions," James Malone, a junior economics major, told Campus Reform. "They would never allow a class talking about the problem of 'blackness.' And if they did, there would be an uproar about it. But you can certainly harass people for their apparent whiteness."
The course, first reported by the Pundit Press, is taught by Lee Bebout, an assistant professor of English at ASU. According to his faculty page, critical race theory is one of his research interests.
Bebout, who is white, has previously taught classes titled Transborder Chicano Literature, Adv Studies Theory/Criticism, and American Ethnic Literature, among others.
Campus Reform was unable to reach Bebout by phone in time of publication.
This guy looks queer to me.
So when does the course “problem with blackness” start?
I think I can smell his BO over the interwebs.
Let’s gang up on him and throw him in the shower.
1) Good looking women, just assume we cannot dance.
2) No one takes us seriously on the basketball courts.
3) How many times do we have to hear: size doesnt matter, honey. (no personal experience here, of course)
4) The long lines at local ski resorts.
5) The high cost of SP 90 sun screen
6) The increasing difficulty of getting reasonable slip fees for my Benateau.
7) Having to explain my James Brown Record collection.
8) The Gospel choirs just arent the same at our churches.
9) Collecting rent from the section eight housing apartments we own.
Did you read the book titles behind him?
I figure this must be a course about Albinos.
My guess is that he’s probably got a thing for black chicks and teaching a course about how white people suck, will gain their approval and make him more attractive.
AKA as Pandering for Pu$$y.
The “Professor” Bebout will soon become Al Sharpton’s new best friend. He would be able to name his price on the lecture circuit.
Best Albino guitarists EVER!!
I was talking about Bill Maher, on Home Box Office
Whoops, wrong thread. I got it mixed up with Bill Maher ‘dissing’ Ted Cruz...
Sound like a low self esteem problem.
I thought the biggest problem of whiteness was providing for so many non-whites.
STEM education: There is one person here in Houston who has the ear of Houston Independent School District allegedly regarding STEM education, but her agenda is bringing in her California ideas.
Don’t forget to toss in the Comet and a scrub brush.
I wonder if his husband is black?
If Whiteness were key, albinos would rule everything and be the Master Race.
Thanks; I needed that!
By historical circumstance, the torch of Christianity got passed on to a population of mostly white gentiles, and the Reformation, even whiter gentiles.
This is the blessing, and the bane, of white people.
