Stanford University will introduce a course this fall which will task students with considering “abolishing whiteness” and the ultimate goal of understanding “what is the future of whiteness,” according to the institution’s course catalog.
The course, which is entitled “White Identity Politics,” will be taught by instructor John Patrick Moran, and analyze the “future of whiteness.” For the uninitiated, the concept of “whiteness” refers to the social aspect of race. According to the University of Calgary, “whiteness” is a socially and politically constructed learned behavior built upon the systematic privileges afforded to whites in Western society.
The Stanford course looks to abolish this social concept of “whiteness” through an analysis of what the course description alleges is “the rise of white identity politics in the United States” as a result of the 2016 Presidential election. Stanford Professor Tomás Jiménez explained that “whiteness” refers to “the set of behaviors and outlooks associated with the racial category, white.”
Pundits proclaim that the 2016 Presidential election marks the rise of white identity politics in the United States. Drawing from the field of whiteness studies and from contemporary writings that push whiteness studies in new directions, this upper-level seminar asks, does white identity politics exist? How is a concept like white identity to be understood in relation to white nationalism, white supremacy, white privilege, and whiteness? We will survey the field of whiteness studies, scholarship on the intersection of race, class, and geography, and writings on whiteness in the United States by contemporary public thinkers, to critically interrogate the terms used to describe whiteness and white identities. Students will consider the perils and possibilities of different political practices, including abolishing whiteness or coming to terms with white identity. What is the future of whiteness?

PC intoxication... they’ll regret it.
Not sure, but there’s a good case for abolishing any recent Stanford grads from employment consideration.
Hah! Give it your best shot, bit**es!
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
Social justice warriors are not fiction, they are being schooled and groomed to teach and make changes in our laws to do just this and more
They should demolish the buildings, scrap the English language, Latin alphabet, running water, etc.
This is purely an acknowledgment by people deemed inferior by our government (via the soft bigotry of lowered expectations) that they will never assimilate in a WASP culture. Just a convenient excuse to explain why 50 year olds can’t learn the English language or hold down a job...
Jose,you better learn Mandarin!
Eliminate ANY/ALL federal funding to Standford. Stop trying to educate IDIOTS.
Maybe white students should avoid Stanford. It could become the Howard University of the west.
The professor looks pretty white to me.
You forgot Obama.
At first they will have no money $ to suck from the government; most Caucasian people I know have the “privilege” of having a work ethic and a job- or a desire to get one if they find themselves currently unemployed. So the first thing they will loose is the tax income.
Another school where I won’t be recruiting students.
I think God said the meek shall inherit the Earth, not the retarded.
That’s just racist. They need a course on abolishing blackness, another for abolishing brown-ness, another abolishing redness, another to abolish yellowness and another to abolish oliveness. Better yet, just one all inclusive one to abolish Stanford.
Perhaps the final exam could be to abolish the pale skinned prof.
Love it. Although I came up with REDS, Re-Education Day Spa. We can talk about it more under the Diversity Pavilion, comrade.
I forget. Is it ‘colored people’ or ‘people of color’?
It is time to close down the Universities. They have gone “Stupid”.
Sounds like a class where a D student could get an A thinking not required just listen.
