Harvard professor argues for 'abolishing' white race

Do people hire harvard grads because of their education or their connections?

"The white race is like a private club based on one huge assumption that all those who look white, are, whatever their complaints or reservations, fundamentally loyal to the race."

Somebody missed his medication...

EXACTLY! This guy is no better then the Natzi's or KKK.....

Can I get a list of my privileges so I get in the right line next time? I seem to be missing out.

You are over-qualified (We are holding the job for a minority slot)

The university favors diversity (You are denied college admittance)

Mr. Ignatiev grew up in a Philadelphia family that he says was devoid of racial bias. As a child, he swam at a free community pool, where he was the only white patron. He says his parents refused to pay a $1 fee that was designed to keep other public pools all-white.

"The white race is like a private club based on one huge assumption that all those who look white, are, whatever their complaints or reservations, fundamentally loyal to the race. We want to dissolve that club, to explode it," he said.

By reading the above quotes from the article, I think it's clear this guy's views were formed from personal experience. His parents raised him to be accepting of all races, but THEY (other races) did not accept him, based on THEIR "one huge assumption that if you look white", you must be the enemy. His solution? Eradicate that nasty whiteness. Of course, he wouldn't consider the fact that maybe it is THEY who perpetuate the "white supremist" myth, and are judging people on their "whiteness" rather than their actions or attitudes. And this guy can't see who's the racist here? What an idiot.

Among the "privileges" of being white, according to Race Traitor, are not being followed by security in stores

I am frequently followed around stores by salespeople - I always thought it was high pressure sales - but then again, I'm not paranoid. And have you ever seen "security" follow anyone around a store?

In the essay in Harvard Magazine, Mr. Ignatiev says he always expected "bewilderment" at his views from "people who still think of race as biology."

Maybe Mr. Ignatiev neglected his biology homework. It is amazing this guy draws a paycheck, but I guess Harvard is showing it's standards.

I've been doing this for 25 years. Although where I work I know its for diversity goals because I have them myself.

Hire minority women because they count twice.

Quick! Call that eminent defender of the violent, anti-white Black Panthers-- Hitlery herself. What is her opinion on this commie weirdo's hate speech? If this were said against blacks by whites, the whites would be excoriated, flayed, then drawn and quartered. As a Yalie leftist agitator, does she take issue with anything coming from equally far-left Harvwad? Enquiring minds want to know....

This guy needs a hard jolt of reality – like the one he’d get with a 2AM walk around the 600 block of East Lanvale street in Baltimore. He’d get a first hand education in the local meaning of “eliminate the White Race.”

Hell, I work in Baltimore, and you could walk two blocks from my office at 2pm in the afternoon and learn the local meaning of “eliminate the White Race.”

[stimulate]

I seriously thought that propounding the eradication of a Race was a federal hate crime,especially if the book that recommends it is distributed nation wide.

I'm surprised that the FBI is not involved. Maybe they should be.

Harvard should fire this guy immediately ,and let him sue them.

Access to secret television channels featuring blacks in distressing situations for the amusement of all whites, available from white-owned cable service companies.

Didn't Eddie Murphy cover this on Saturday night live?

We rented a movie recently called "How High" - by mistake. It's a comedy about 2 black guys who get into Harvard by smoking supernatural pot that conjures up the spirit of a dead friend who supplies them with the answers to the entrance exam. The rest of the film chronicles the Harvard experience of these 2 "rapper" type guys. I didn't think I could sit through 5 minutes of it, but it was surprisingly pretty funny, so we watched it. (hey, what can I say, it was a slow TV night ; )

The movie parodies black and white stereotypes. In particular, one scene shows these guys in their "Black History" class (and they are surrounded by white students), with a white professor who spouts all this exact same crap that Ignatiev is writing, fist in the air, with the white students eating it up. These black guys just look at each other like, this guy's nuts and they're in the twilight zone. Looking back on it, maybe the professor character was modeled on Ignatiev? If so, they sure made him look like an idiot.(he made it so easy for them)

When blacks start writing comedy, ridiculing people and ideas like these, you know that even they don't take them seriously.

double-dipping referred to government pensioners working another job; now ???

Dr. I is 100% right. The white race has a lock on all the most desirable, prestigious positions. The first thing we should do is purge our Ivy League universities of white professors... let them learn to actually work for a living...

[Charles Martel]

Yes, yes, of course. It's still a ridiculous idea, since it can't very well work unless everyone else gives up their notions of "racialness", too, along with any and all entitlements. Ain't gonna happen.

In any case, I've been waiting for an excuse to post this, from "Five Minute Star Trek":

Five-Minute "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"

by IJD GAF

Captain's Log: We will soon begin "Operation Detox." Once we reach the planet Ariannus, we shall commence decontamination by rubbing a special gel all over its --

Chekov: I believe that incoming craft is a Federation shuttle.

Spock: Of course it is, you dip!

Kirk: Let's bring it aboard.

Spock: But Captain, it might be dangerous.

Kirk: Who do I look like, Captain Esteban? Let's open it up and see what's inside already.

Kirk: We'll just open the shuttlebay doors and -- AHH! Creepy half-black, half-white alien! What do we do?

Spock: Remain calm and remember this episode is about racial tolerance.

Kirk: I dunno...real aliens are just one color....

Spock: Jim!

Kirk: Sorry.

McCoy: He's a mutant, a genetic curiosity.

Spock: I concur.

Kirk: Oh, now who's being intolerant?

Spock: I merely --

Lokai: I didn't do it, I swear!

Kirk: We know it was you who stole the shuttlecraft.

Lokai: No, I mean I'm not responsible for my appearance, it's natural, I swear!

McCoy: Riiight.

Lokai: Shut up.

Chekov: Invisible ship approaching -- it's comin' right for us!

Kirk: Settle down. Explanation?

Spock: Jeez, after how many cloaking device episodes?

Chekov: It disintegrated and beamed aboard a --

Bele: Boo!

Kirk: Aaaa! Another one!

Bele: Gimme Lokai.

Kirk: You're new to this, aren't you? We don't just give away our visitors.

Lokai: I spit at your superiority.

Bele: I look down on your inferiority.

Lokai: I give a raspberry to your authority.

Bele: I perform a noogie on your rebelliousness.

Kirk: I get the impression this isn't going to settle anything, so why don't I escort Bele to his quarters?

Bele: I play patty-cakes with --

Kirk: C'mon already.

Chekov: The ship's off course!

Kirk: What do I look like, the helmsman?

Chekov: But I can't get it back on course!

Kirk: Well that's what you get for trying to do Sulu's job.

Bele: The ship is mine, I control it now. Off to Cheron we go.

Lokai: Do something!

Kirk: What do I look like, the Captain?

All: (blank stares)

Kirk: Alright, alright. Computer, blow the ship up.

Computer: 10...9...8...6....

Bele: 6? What happened to 7?

Computer: Just kidding....

Bele: Grrr...you win Kirk, the ship is yours.

Kirk: Of course it is, I've got the deed right...hey, give it back too.

Bele: Aw.

Lokai: I say rise up and defy your oppressors...er...defiantly!

Sulu: But we have no oppressors.

Lokai: No? What about the man?

Chekov: You mean the Captain?

Lokai: Sigh. I knew that joke would be lost on you two.

Bele: ...so you see, Lokai is inferior to myself because I'm black on the right side.

Spock: And he's black on the wrong side?

Bele: No, he's white on the wrong side.

Kirk: He's right on the wrong side?

Bele: No, no, no! He's white --as in light-- on the wrong side.

Kirk: He's wrong on the light side?

Bele: Yes...I mean...never mind.

Scotty: Sir, we're ready to commence 'Operation Detox'.

Kirk: (over the comm) Ooh, I've really been looking forward to this.

Scotty: Aye. Commencing n-- on second thought, let's just leave this part to reader imagination....

Captain's Log: Woo, was that ever fun...well, now that it's over, I guess we're just off to Starbase 4.

Bele: Hua! Hua! I have burned out your computer, I control the ship once more!

Kirk: But I've still got the de-- hey! How do you keep pilfering that?

Lokai: You can't let him steal your prisoner, kill him!

Kirk: Mmm....

Bele: Don't tell me you're taking his request under consideration?

Kirk: No, it's just that the way you two are standing, I'm reminded of an Oreo cookie. Mmm, double stuff....

Spock: Sir, coming into visual range of Cheron now. It appears everyone on the planet killed everyone else.

Lokai: MURDERERS!

Bele: TYRANTS!

Kirk: I can feel the good in you, let go of your hate!

Lokai and Bele: It is... too late for us.

Spock: Captain, they've chased each other through the halls and beamed down to the planet.

Kirk: Whew, glad to get rid of those two. I was getting hungry.

Spock: This is where we take note of the destructiveness of hate, right?

Kirk: Yes, of course. Because we all know it's impossible to go wrong with the light side.

Spock: I'm not quite sure how to argue with that.

(The Enterprise warps off at Ludicrous Speed)

"stirred up anger among some conservatives"? Wonder if this stirred up any white liberals?

[Williams]

"He set up Marxist discussion groups in the early 1980s. In 1985, Mr. Ignatiev was accepted to the Harvard Graduate School of Education without an undergraduate degree. After earning his master's, he joined the Harvard faculty as a lecturer and worked toward a doctorate in U.S. history. His dissertation was his book, "How the Irish Became White." Mr. Ignatiev said the book told how Irish immigrants came to the United States and became "oppressors" by emulating American whites. "

Now, aren't we all glad that we allow the "elites" from this ridiculous institution to operate as an exclusive club with a passport to the highest positions in government and industry? If anyone has ever suffered the arrogance of these ivy leaguers, you know their "liberalism" stops at their own wallets.

Your link to the WashTimes doesn't work and when I went to their home page, I couldn't find this article.

Your scenario reminds me of a very funny bit on SNL in which Eddie Murphy disguises as a white man in order to see for himself the extent of the imagined "preferential treatment" that white folks give each other when no black folks are around....
