College course blames 'global whiteness' for attack on Pearl Harbor, Pacific War

The attack on Pearl Harbor was "Japan's attempt to roll back Euro-American colonialism."

A University of North Carolina course titled "Global Whiteness" blames the West in general and the United States in particular for Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent Pacific Theater battles of World War II.

Campus Reform obtained the syllabus for the course that characterizes the Pacific Theater fight as "the first global attack on white Anglo-American hegemony" and "Japan's attempt to roll back Euro-American colonialism." The course's required text is Theodore Allen's The Invention of the White Race, vol. 2: The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America. Professor Mark Driscoll's class also includes student presentations on topics like Donald Trump's racism and "interracial hookups on campus."

This is yet one more illustration of the insanity and rigid ideological control rampant on college campuses across America. Maniacal Marxist "mentors" incessantly attack the very country that lets them achieve wealth and tenure for spewing their toxic idiocy at often tragically receptive young people. The less logical and more insane the idea or claim, the better. On campuses across the U.S., professors now routinely teach that "White privilege" leads to horrible things like competence, discipline, self-control, literacy, meritocracy, politeness, and work ethic — by which they mean to excuse the opposite. Yet by attempting to legitimize incompetence, sloth, illiteracy, and rude behavior in this way, they also assign them to minorities. Can anything be more racist than that? That they usually get away with it illustrates their very real "progressive privilege."

College professors would have us believe that "global whiteness" caused 9/11, the Killing Fields, the extinction of the dinosaurs, COVID-19, Dutch Elm Disease, and the heartbreak of psoriasis.

I blame Teddy Roosevelt and he was white! If he hadn’t ordered the Pacific Squadron out of Hong Kong to go to Manila we’d have never owned the Philippines and never been in the way of the “Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere” the Japanese were assembling out of Chinese, British, Dutch and French possessions.

Strangely, the natives of these areas found the Japanese, in spite of sometimes being ‘people of color’ weren’t as pleasant to be around as the former colonialists. And although it’s been 80 years or so since they were ‘blessed’ with the Japanese presence, they still remember—and not fondly.

He teaches about ‘oriental eroticism’ ?? He must watch a lot of porn.

Kind of makes ya wonder about some institutions and what they waste their time on.

Talk about mangling history.

And the Germans supplied China for years until the Japanese came into the Axis Powers.

Why would anyone spend one cent on this class teaching 🐂💨💩?

You'd have to squint awfully hard to see this case. Germany was a big colonizer in the South Pacific shortly after its formation in 1871. As a consequence of its loss in WWI the Treaty of Versailles awarded these formerly German possessions to Japan: the Marshall Islands, the Carolines, the Marianas, the Palau Islands (as well as Kiautschou/Tsingtao in China). WWII history buffs will recall those names with horror. Remember the Battle of the Bismarck Sea? Yes, that Bismarck, that's where the name came from. The Japanese proceeded to militarize these and turn them into their own colonial outposts, which is why they were there already when WWII began in the Pacific.

The Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere was one gigantic Japanese colonization plan and after they took Malaysia and Indonesia (then the Dutch East Indies, where the oil was) they were well on their way. The irony is that they could have achieved those aims without attacking Pearl Harbor, Singapore, or the Philippines, having obtained all the strategic resources that were a nominal casus belli. It was about more than that, in fact. It was about empire.

If you think about it too much, you’ll go bonkers. Better to *drink*.

It just so happens I'm enjoying a Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA (or maybe, more than one).

I don’t care for beer, but those look really cool.
