The "Gold Star" people who went to the front of the line didn't do so well.....

A New York City public school sent out a graphic to parents encouraging them to become “white traitors” and “white abolitionists.”
According to Christopher Rufo, a writer at City Journal dedicated to covering “critical race theory,” the principal of East Side Community School in New York sent out a graphic detailing the eight types of “whiteness.” The graphic shows a scale of “white identities” ranging from good to bad. Good is considered being a “white abolitionist” and bad is considered being a “white supremacist.”
“There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities,” the graphic reads. “People who identify with whiteness are one of these. It’s about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing others.”
A corresponding document details each of the eight white identities.
In the red zone of the graphic are white supremacist, white voyeurism, and white privilege. A white supremacist is someone who enjoys a “clearly marked white society that preserves, names, and values white superiority.” Under this definition, someone who opposes changing naval bases with Confederate soldier names would be considered a white supremacist.
Someone who identifies with “white voyeurism” is someone who seeks to control “the consumption and appropriation of non-whiteness,” by having a fascination with black culture. An example would be consuming rap music as a white person. According to the graphic, this is “consuming black culture without the burden of blackness.”
Someone who exhibits “white privilege” is someone whose sworn goal is to diversity, yet they benefit from the existing supremacy, even though they critique it.
In the yellow zone of the graphic are “white benefit” and “white confessional.” White benefit is described as someone sympathetic to black issues, but only privately. These people won’t speak or act in solidarity publicly because they “benefit” from whiteness. The graphic claims that people of color can have “white benefit” as well.
A person that exhibits “white confessional” is someone who seeks validation from people of color and will be held accountable by people of color. A white person who identifies as a “white confessional” is often seen on college campuses in the form of “white caucuses.” According to the Young America’s Foundation, Elon University’s School of Education is hosting a weekly “White Caucus” event where “white-identifying” students can “unpack race and systemic oppression.”
In the green zone of the graphic are “white critical,” “white traitor,” and “white abolitionist.” All of these “identities” play a role in destroying “whiteness.” Someone who is “white critical” takes time to expose the “white regime,” and refuses to be complicit in said regime. An individual who is “white critical” will also call out their fellow white man if they fail to live up to “white critical” status.
A “white traitor” is someone who actively refuses to be complicit in the system. These people call out systemic racism with the direct intention to “subvert white authority and tell the truth at whatever cost.” The graphic claims we “need them to dismantle institutions.”
The golden standard of being white is being a “white abolitionist.” This is someone who changes institutions, works to dismantle whiteness, and will not allow whiteness to “reassert itself” in society.
The author of the graphic, Barnor Hesse, is an associate professor at Northwestern University. His research interests include “black political thought, blackness and effect, and race and governmentality,” among others.
I would tell the white principal when he resigns and gives his job and pension to a minority to get back to me
All these people are free to move to a place with no white people if they so choose

Well, he sounds like a nice enough fellow.
Its Been my studied opinion that some folks see or want to interject race in everything.
Tom Brady being acaused of being a racist for winning the superbowl is a great example.
to me this is all mumbo jumbo. it is all made up . its made up by a freakazoid of nature marxist professor . these are HIS thoughts and HIS theories. They are pulled out of thin air, abstract and demeaning.There is no scientific basis for this, either.
They are demeaning to ALL people, whatever color.
This poor soul sold his a long time ago to come up this garbage and its the most publicized , furtherest left any one could possibly go without dragging white people into the town square or going door to door looking for white people and putting a bullet in the back of their heads.
It makes Kwanzaa look legitimate and that was made up, too, out of some crazy assed , mixed up individual searching for validation.
This is an affront to humanity
he can go eff himself is what i say
Accused not acaused
I’m an American first and foremost. As an American, aka a citizen of the USA, I could be of any color, race and have ancestors from a variety of places around the world. I’m an American first before any status or category someone wants to label me. I am a American,I a member of a diverse citizenry.

Plenty of “white traitors” in my neck of the woods....99% of whom have Biden/Harris signs and “What We Believe” signs in their front yards. And a good percentage of them also have a “Hate Has No home Here” signs as well.
Change the word white to black.
Change the word whiteness to blackness.
See how it flies.
Racism is ugly.
Barnor Hesse is an ugly racist and black supremacist, at best, and should be shunned.
What is he after? A reverse plantation? Or something worse?
Wh provides the majority of private sector jobs?
Wonder where Mr. Hesse lives?
(Something tells me that he does not live in the middle of the ‘hood.)
You are so right; this nonsense is becoming more and more naziesque by the minute.
The nazis also had a chart that depicted the different mixtures of Jewishness; I saw one of those charts years ago; a quarter-Jew or one-eighty Jew was called a “mischling.”
Americans are free to associate with whom they please.
So is the television show, “Black-ish” racist? Black entertainment television channel racist?
How bout little Italy, China town, Little Mexico or Vietnamese town? Are they free to associate with whom they please? Enjoy the culture of their choice?
Sure they are. Does this make them racist because they live in an area dominated by folks like themselves? No.
Same goes with white people. If some white family leaves a community or area because of a high crime rate and so happens the majority of violent crime is committed by young black males...does that make that family racist? Nope.
It is high time white people stop allowing leftist to label us as racist. Most whites don’t give a damn who you are or the color of your skin. You treat them right, they’ll treat you right.
This whole, “America’s systemic racism” is absolute BS and simply a way to intimidate people into compliance to their woke-ness.
Conservative White Christian males are target one, but conservative blacks, Hispanics, Asians are mocked and ostracized as well.
Each individual American, no matter race or gender has a right to believe anything they wish as long as your beliefs do not encroach on another person’s liberty.
