"Like White On Rice": Liberals Offer "Whiteness Studies" as a Solution to Racism

Jewish World Review ^ | 6/24/03 | Michael Graham

Whiteness?? Whiteness?

Ok, is someone trying to flame an encourage a race war or something?

Has there been and AWFUL lot of race propaganda lately or what?

Does someone think a race war will help Sharpton get elected?

And, to any homeschool moms surfing in, can you homeschool college? After all the PC, Sex, and now whiteness classes I've seen, I think I want to homeschool college.

[Always Right]

White pride, brother.

[Volunteer]

Is there any chance they are going to offer a course called, "Whitey Can & Will Pay"?

This is just a bunch of bulls**t... well, I guess it isn't. Bulls**t will actually help flowers grow. This will not help anything grow except more racial hatred.

[TomGuy]

Does this mean I can be Caucasian again?

[Arpege92]

I don't have reserved parking at Starbucks, I don't get a discount on wonder bread and I don't make free long distance calls to Utah because I don't know anyone in Utah!

So, I ask you this....does this take away from my "Whiteness"?

[daddypatriot]

This load of s.... about white studies confirms my long held belief that the colleges and universities of this nation have finally reached the load limit for crackpots. What in the hell will these worthless professors pull off next? I am glad I graduated from college years ago. At least back in the 1950s we had some sensible people teaching young people.

[just mimi]

It may turn out that I am very wrong on this point, but I can only imagine the purpose of these courses is to teach white wrongness and white guilt. I hope that I am wrong.

[Doctor Raoul]

Hillary's back fence neighbor at her Whatehaven Manse is the Dutch Embassy. Eurpoeans who wear wooden shoes, can her neighborhood get any whiter than that?

[Skywalk]

Nope, that's exactly what they are for.

It's sad because I don't have a real issue with individual classes that cover the history of Asians in America, or West Indian immigrants. These are all part of history, but the fact is ethnic studies departments(as opposed to regional or real cultural studies like Russian/East European Studies, Asian Studies, European Studies) are nothing but bastions of leftist thought and anti-white propaganda.

Typically, whiteness studies ARE designed to surreptitiously elicit feelings of guilt. Though people are descended from all parts of Europe and elsewhere, these classes will focus on whites as oppressors, if cloaking the language while doing so.

[Loyal Buckeye]

I am a person of whiteness.

White is beautiful.

[2rightsleftcoast]

No, you are correct! Caught a little of this BS on O'Reilly.
The professor was saying just that if I am not mistaken.
Whites have to face up to the privileges they have been given etc. I think that was the drift. Who creates and then OKs these courses?

[Ukiapah Heep]

This is great! New hope for the stupid!

[The_Media_never_lie]

What are some of the course offerings under the Whiteness Studies curriculum that lead to a degree? Cracker Classics 101? Honky History 201?

[Blue Leader]

I want to sincerely apoligize to all of you for being a person of the Caucasian persuasion. I am most embarassed and hope you will be able to overlook that and accept me almost as if I was Black or Asian. My ancestors were poor people who came from the rocky isles west of Scotland but I am going to pretend that we were wealthy plantation owners who bred slaves like cattle so that I can feel guilty enough to repent my color. I must admit that I never was a racist and always took a stand for equality but I'm hoping that you will forget that and treat me like the honky, militant Aryan nation, Ku Klux Klan member that is really in me. My whole race is rotten to the core and interested only in supporting racism so that we can exploit the unwashed masses of the world.

Is there some nice African-American person named M'bogo M'tembe (born Alice Johnson) who would like to adopt me and punish me for my depraved past?

[Calpernia]

I don't know if any of you want to see this. I know I didn't want to see it. Once I clicked, though, I had to look. One of those car accident things. I do wish I didn't see it though.

So Ping.

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

these classes will focus on whites as oppressors...

The long term agenda is to keep AA going indefinitely & to eventually secure reparations.

Depend on it.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Does this mean that I don't have to feel concerned when I check the caucasian box on the affirmative action forms when I apply for jobs?

[Calpernia]

You saw the U of Michigan virdict, no?
