'All white people are racist': Brandeis University assistant dean defends critical race theory and says she hates 'whiteness'

Brandeis University Assistant Dean Kate Slater said in a post marking the anniversary of George Floyd's murder that 'all white people are racist' and that she hates 'whiteness,' despite being Caucasian herself.

Slater, who describes herself on social media as a 'racial justice scholar and educator,' made those controversial comments to her 5,424 Instagram followers on Tuesday.

'Yes, all White people are racist in that all White people have been conditioned in a society where one's racial identity determines life experiences/outcomes and Whiteness is the norm and the default. That includes me!' the educator wrote in all-caps.

She continued: 'I don't hate white people - I hate whiteness.'

Slater also used her public platform to defend critical race theory, which examines the ways in which race and racism influence politics, culture and the law.

The academic concept, which has been promoted by civil rights scholars and activists for the past 40 years, has recently come under fire from conservative educators and politicians, prompting Republican-led legislatures in several states, most recently to ban public schools and colleges from teaching it.

Some critics of the theory believe that it is rooted in Marxism and is used to sow racism and division.

Critical race theory is a reassessment of racial inequalities in the United States, which critics say emphasizes racial differences, and brainwashes white children into feeling guilty about the color of their skin.

Critical race theorists maintain that American legal and political systems are inherently racist and exist to create and further inequality between black and white people.

‘"Debates" about critical race theory are often straw men for debates about whether or not systemic racism is real. And no number of statistics or facts that I could offer are going to convince people to "see" systemic racism if they don't want to.'

Well have to kill them eventually
Messy

[wardaddy]

Same way we tried to fix these zealots....

[wardaddy]

No offense to Jewish Freepers and we have fine ones here

But damn give me a break....it’s more often than not...a common thread

[wardaddy]

Me too

I’ve spent a lifetime dealing with the innate nature of women

Granting them political parity with men

Is disastrous

They have been in their position in the patriarchal civilization we called western

The one that civilized an often brutal world ....them protected by men.

For a a damn good reason

Women... great and superior at many things

Have emotional flaws that are being ignored for the sake of sexual egalitarianism

Huge huge huge mistake

Well reasoned and spot on.

Most people, I think are behaviorally prejudiced which is understandable, even righteous in a civilized society.

Yes, and that is what I mean when I say that everyone is a racist. In other words, since everyone is “racial” to one degree or another, BEING “racist” is simply a reality. On the other hand, HOW that reality is manifested in behavior can be (and often is), speaking behaviorally, antisocial, obnoxious, or even criminal.

I say, Most people, I think are behaviorally prejudiced which is understandable, even righteous in a civilized society and you answer with Yes, and that is what I mean when I say that everyone is a racist. It is then I realize you identify behavior as racially based and in doing that strengthen the lies being perpetrated in this race baiting demand.

This is the definition of racist as I understand it and as explained by Merriam-Webster:

a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

I thought that covered the subject pretty thoroughly but I just learned Merriam-Webster got woke and they're basing it on an email they received.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52993306

The article quoted the sender of the email as saying," the issue of definition is vital."

"I think it's very important for people to be on the same page," she said.

At least until the page is turned again.

To clarify my use of the term 'behaviorally based' I was not referring to any statist definition of rights incorporated and spelled out in some TITLE XYZ law. I mean Christian based rules of behavior that precludes UNwarranted violence all humans are capable of as indicated at http://gunmemorial.org/latest

Please do not misinterpret the use of that website as indicative of any support on my part of the gun control leftists.

No, you have misunderstood my response to you. I believe everyone is a racist, but not necessarily in the pejorative sense the word is normally used. As I thought I made clear, there is behavior that is intended to be demeaning, aggressive, and in some instances criminal which is motivated by racist, discriminatory thinking. That is beyond dispute. On the other hand there are ideas and thoughts and theories and studies which are also considered racist but which are not based on discriminatory motivations. That is why I believe EVERYONE, either consciously or unconsciously, is to one degree or another a racist. So in other words, to single out the people of ONE race as racist in the pejorative sense is clearly ludicrous. You disagree with that contention? That’s perfectly fine with me!

[MurrietaMadman]

Let me get this straight. During the developing stage of a police state you think slicing, dicing, scraping and fileting the meaning of the word racist so it can be applied to anyone at anytime by a member of the favored political class is acceptable?

I can't find the wisdom there.

to single out the people of ONE race as racist in the pejorative sense is clearly ludicrous

You really don't see the purpose in that?

Missy, I don’t play word games with Leftists. Think whatever the hell you want to think, but you will have to find someone else to play with. Now go away.

LOL. You the one who walked on the field with your ball of stupid.

Missy you should stop all this trivial racist nonsense you’re yapping about. You may be impressing a few of your racist high school friends that you know what you’re talking about but you’re not fooling anyone on this forum.
