“Problem of Whiteness” College Professor Accuses Conservative Student of Terrorism
Maine Wire ^ | 12/13/2022 | Steve Robinson

University of Chicago instructor Rebecca Journey has accused a student at the school of inciting white nationalist terrorism against her after he drew attention to a class she was going to teach entitled “The Problem of Whiteness.”

The student, Daniel Schmidt, is sophomore at U-Chicago, where he has developed a reputation as a brash conservative student activist with a budding online persona.

Part of his activism includes exposing left-wing bias at his own university, which he did quite exquisitely in November when he posted information about Journey’s proposed class on social media.

In The Problem of Whiteness, Schmidt reported, Journey’s students would learn that “whiteness had resurfaced as a conspicuous problem within liberal political discourse.”

Like most left-wing “critical inquiry” jargon, you need a translator to parse what she is actually saying. But it doesn’t take a vivid imagination to predict what the typical conversation in Journey’s classroom might look like. It suffices to ask whether Journey and her ilk would shrug off another university offering a course called, “The Problem with Black People,” or a Harvard course, “The Problem with Asians”.

Backlash to Journey’s racially charged course offering was swift, and the class was eventually pulled for the fall semester.

Now, Journey, who got her Phd in 2021, is going on the attack against the student who put a spotlight on her work.

In a discursive post at ChicagoMaroon.com, Journey claims she’s the victim of a cyberbullying campaign that “placed a target on my body and therefore on my classroom.”

RE: “Problem of Whiteness” College Professor Accuses Conservative Student of Terrorism

Why does a White Person pay thousands of dollars a semester to enroll in classes like this? Does he or she ( I use these pronouns deliberately BTW ) have masochistic tendencies?

"Rebecca Journey is a cultural anthropologist who earned her PhD from the University of Chicago in 2021. Her work examines how the evolutionary and reformist logics of eugenic ideology animate the aesthetics of green urbanism in contemporary Denmark. She has special interests in the techno- and ethnopolitics of climate change; histories of Scandinavian design; and the semiotics of social difference. " Obviously this chick knows nothing about anything remotely useful to the world and lives in an other-dimensional academic world of pseudo-intellectualism.

That “professor” is as much a professor as a dung beetle is a physicist. She has no creditable degree, she has a signed cereal box top. It is long past time that we start laughing out of existence any college that allows such low-rent pseudo academics to do anything other than lawn care or picking up dog poop.

Good for Schmidt, hope feels empowered by being accused of whatever gobbledygook CRT construct Journey claims. Hope it goes to court.

Need more of this. The more that step up to argue, ridicule and fight off this ongoing insanity the better.

They misspelled that website name.

At least she openly admits she’s a eugenicist. Most progressives try to hide their authoritarian and murderous leanings.

Malcolm X. was right. Self-loathing white liberals are the worst enemy American blacks face. Ironically, they’re the worst enemy whites have as well.

Wow, with that background I know exactly who to call when I need... uh... ummm.... hmmm...

Aha! Now, I know. With her background and impressive credentials I know exactly who to talk to when I order the double-cheese combo meal, fries, and a coke. It’s at least a 50% chance she’ll get it right.

This is EXACTLY why I'm against arming teachers.

On paper, it's a smashing idea.

In practice, a unionized committee will hand the Glock to someone like this dope, who'll draw it on a child with a TRUMP shirt and get off scott free.

People pushing this line for political and social change will only become a self fulfilling prophecy and stimulate a new form of Racism among the white population that will make the old KKK look like Sunday school. It will not be old tubby southern crackers in white robles and hoods but, a new form, More like Antifa—that will, because of such hate talk do all sorts of terrible things. Its like the White gangs in Prison—white people will be forced to join them by anti-white hate speech.
