Children at an elementary school in Virginia are being taught that traits such as “objectivity” and “perfectionism” are ‘racist’ characteristics of “white supremacy.”
Yes, really.
Author James Lindsay posted a screenshot of the lesson outline, which is apparently taken from a 2001 Dismantling Racism Workbook by authors Tema Okun and Kenneth Jones and is being taught to kids aged 6-11 at the Belvedere Elementary School in Virginia.

The “15 characteristics of white supremacy” include “perfectionism,” a “sense of urgency,” “individualism,” and “objectivity.”
By discouraging positive concepts such as these by associating them with white supremacy, teachers are actually harming the chances of non-white children from progressing in school.
In other words, far from being anti-racist, the teachings are actually racist.
“Ironically, this type of “anti-racism” indoctrination is alarmingly racist & ignorant,” commented Rita Panahi.
Objectivity & perfectionism are apparently synonymous with “racism”. Ironically, this type of “anti-racism” indoctrination is alarmingly racist & ignorant. https://t.co/oFpYB8BtgU

Other respondents pointed out that such teaching is hallmark of Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is still being taught in U.S. schools despite being banned after an executive order by President Trump.
This is what critical race theory teaches in our schools, businesses, and government agencies. @realDonaldTrump was right to cancel it and parents should demand their schools stop teaching it. https://t.co/18qk2n9xV1

Others noted that such characteristics were not solely revered in white societies, and that people from other cultures “would be highly offended by hearing them described as “white supremacy.”

It’s simply anti-American.
Add that to dependability and loyalty, I guess. I’m really starting to feel bad about myself.
“In other words, far from being anti-racist, the teachings are actually racist.”
Not just actually racist, but obviously, blatantly, in-your-face racist against non-whites. Effectively, they’re saying that people of European descent are superior, but, don’t worry, we’ll make them stop.
Half-a$$ed and Tribal are better.
Civilization is the result of white supremacy.
The only way to end white supremacy is to live in caves with no modern conveniences.
This is racist on so many levels.
First of all, it assume that American Blacks are incapable of “Objectivity” and “Perfectionism.”
Secondly, it seeks to hobble, limit and restrain other races by ascribing assumed beliefs to their skin color.
People who promote this are motivated by evil.
Ayn Rand had some excellent writing on this topic.
Paraphrasing—Man can live by reason or live by whim-worship.
Reason is choosing life.
Whim-worship is choosing death.
A branch of the Smithsonian created a nice chart to explain all this. Traits of Whiteness—stuff like the scientific method, proper grammar, Christian holidays, individualism, etc.
I want to make note of the fact that I have managed to stay out of jail my whole life. I suppose that’s just me “acting white”. Or something.
What happens when one of these genius types is being served by someone that is not concerned about being timely, doing a good job and other the other rot they complain is racist? Will they pound their fists and scream for better service while loudly asking, “Do you know who I am?” Or will they rejoice in the success they have in getting poor services and products?
Like always, I don’t think they are thinking things through completely.
It was Kamala’s suppository microphone.
Ha! That stuff and a lot more was demanded of us, in school!!
By this definition most of the Asian American people that I know are white supremicists.
WSC = “White Supremacy Culture.” Watch for the buzzword du jour “WSC” going forward.
Try to imagine a culture with the opposite characteristics of WSC — you’d have a primitive African tribe that, after 4,000 years, was still waiting to invent the wheel, master fire, and create a written language.
So subjectivity and carelessness are traits of non whites?
Probably success is a white supremacist trait too.
I’m starting to like white supremacy.
The more I find out about white supremacy the more I like it.
I do not see one iota of "diversity" there. No sir ree.
Looking at that list, I’m happy to declare myself a proud white supremacist!
Anybody else?
The schools need to be rescued.
