Stanford University Introduces Course on ‘Abolishing Whiteness’
Breitbart ^ | 8/11/2017

Posted on 08/11/2017 10:34:22 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

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?

The Nazis taught stuff like this.

Seven to ten years later came the Death camps.

Yeah, I think they’d be in for a little surprise.

The only part to be concerned about is they are stupid enough to believe their own lies.

So, stay safe - stay alert.

Proving that nothing has changed in the last 100 years with these Marxist/fascist totalitarian bastards. Still the same old racist mass-murdering, genocidal monsters as Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, et al.

If good people don’t make these colleges cut this crap out there will be a war that the people who hate whites will lose and lose big. It’s inevitable. These pied piper professors are leading these kids right over a cliff to their demise because they’re filthy communist pigs.

Did you ever think that we’d see the day that intellectually lazy morons would be called ‘professors’?

Well one way to eliminate this problem, as I see it, is to eliminate the teachers who push this nonsense and of course cancel the classes.

Why not call it what it is? Affirmative Racism.

Amazing...30 years from “Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, Western Civ has to go” at Stanford to “Abolishing Whiteness.”

So, in the realm of fairness, if some professor wanted to start a class in abolishing negros, it is all A-OK?

After all, if this jerk can suggest it, where is the line drawn?

If this continues at Stanford, it -— one of the world’s leading universities, appears headed down the sewer just like several other good colleges have gone — soon a once- prized Stanford diploma will be just as worthless as those of those other once- respected schools

Wasn’t Stanford founded by a prominent white guy? Shouldn’t they liquidate and distribute assets to minorities rather than continue the process of making more privileged white guys?
