George Washington University is urging students to read Conservatism and Racism, and Why in America They Are the Same in an effort to educate them about the dangers of stereotypes and discrimination.
The "Solidarity Resource Syllabus" released by the Washington, D.C.-based school's Office of Diversity provides students with a reading list that focuses on racism in the United States. Among the 126 books that the university says "actively and effectively
[combat] injustice" is San Francisco State University professor Robert Smith's 2010 book that equates conservative beliefs with bigotry. That label applies to all who subscribe to right-leaning beliefs, including people of color.
"Conservatism as a philosophy and ideology
is and always has been hostile to the aspirations of Africans in America, incompatible with the struggle for freedom and equality," the book reads. "Repeatedly I was asked, Are you saying that conservatism is racism, that all conservatives are racist?' Aren't there black conservatives? Are they racist?'
. My answer to most of these questions was a qualified yes."
"Anti-racism" books have emerged atop Amazon's bestseller list following George Floyd's death in police custody in May. Among them are Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility and Ibram X. Kendi's How To Be An Anti-Racist. Smith's book never made it to Amazon's bestseller list, but his work is used in leading college textbooks on American politics.

A business that is corrupt to the core and brainwashes their clients with godless ideology. That describes our entire educational system in America.

Most, not all, racism is deserved. Stereotypes are not invented from whole cloth out of meanness. Do some suffer because of the behavior of others? Yup. Sucks, but this is what lawless behavior gives you. Those that dont act the fool get along fine, regardless of color.
