Teaching While White
American Thinker ^ | May 15, 2016 | Eileen F. Toplansky

Posted on 05/15/2016 9:57:36 AM PDT by Kaslin

Teaching While White (TWW) is becoming an occupational hazard these days. So is being a white student, for that matter. At the "Unofficial Scripps College Survival Guide," students learn that "white peers and faculty -- portray Claremont Consortium as a haven for liberal ideology and acceptance. It's a rhetoric that has led many white students to believe that racism does not exist on campus." Thus, "as white students, [they] must identify the ways that [they] are engaging in the perpetuation of white supremacy and work to unlearn [their] racism."

Of course, "reverse racism does not exist because there are no institutions that were founded with the intention of discriminating against white people on the basis of their skin. Many white people claim to be victims of reverse racism when people of color associate negative characteristics with white people or have a general dislike for them as a group. This is not reverse racism because racism is privilege plus power and people of color do not have racial privilege. Moreover, distrust or anger at white people is a legitimate response to a repetitive history and current state of racist violence."

And so Rachel, Anna, Emi, and Jasmine, authors of the above, state that "[t]he solution to white privilege is to 'ask people of color to absolve [white people] of [their] guilt.'" But even that is "not an adequate response... [since] whites must be accountable and hold other white students accountable, too."

In other words, take all Whiteys’ money and then eliminate Whitey.

I downloaded the survival guide here...

http://www.thescrippsvoice.com/scripps-survival-guide/

At 217 pages I don't have to look at it now, if ever, but,

they list the editors and contributors to the project at the beginning of the document, along with their pictures.

Three of the contributors had no pictures. There were 3, yes THREE Asian women, Three black women and 23 (TWENTY THREE !) white woman amongst them. Didn't see any he-shes or white males listed anywhere at all. As a representative of the White Male race I feel discriminated and aggressed upon.

What am I going to do about such a savage blow to my psyche ? Absolutely nothing because frankly I don't give a Damn.

In other words, you're racist because we say you are, not because you fit the definition of the word. And if you argue that we should remain logically consistent, then you're ... you guessed it ... racist.

...racism is privilege plus power...

No, it's not.

Racism is hatred based on skin color alone.

All of this madness is being empowered solely - solely - by the school administrators.

Twisted marxist thought at its finest.

These ideas are having real world consequences every day. Why do you think male white enrollment is down so far in colleges and universities?
It is a conscious decision to admit everyone but. They also tilt their admissions standards toward leftists, and do this via the applicants prior history of “volunteerism”, their essay, etc. Those who volunteer conservative institutions need not apply. Those who go on about their “gender identity struggles” and so on are put at the top of the list.

“Calypso Louie says black people could fly until Whitey pulled their wings off. Reverend Al says black people built the pyramids. Everything is all Whitey’s fault, always. That’s the new normal of black “thinking”, such as it is. And plenty of sniveling white lefties are willing to pretend to believe it.”

If you were black, which of the two explanations for the vast difference in accomplishment between the races would you prefer?

1- White people are smarter, more inventive, and have more initiative than blacks.
2. Whites and blacks are equal but blacks are repressed by whitey.

It’s the New Religion: all Whites are born with Original Sin. You have to convince them of it to get them to convert, but once you’ve sold them on it, they’ll be tithing for the rest of their lives.

This is a farce.

Black people are the most racist folks in America, bar none.

The Left works very hard to deny that definition, and define racism in such a way that only white people can be guilty. To a Leftist, not even an anti-White Zimbabwean black-majority government can be racist against the current white minority, through some mental contortions.

Hmmm, microaggression is nothing more than controlling white people and particularly white males with the excuse being they are hopelessly rasist.

I’m thinking that we need an affirmative action program for conservatives at publicly funded colleges and universities. I don’t know why my taxes should go to employ left-wing indoctrinators who are training the army that will exterminate me.

The lingering question is, if black people were so great, so accomplished, and so intelligent, why then did they sit back and allow the whites to become “supremists”?

Yes, and somehow they allowed whites to steal all their great inventions, and take credit for them!

Unfortunately for us, the conservatives gave up on the colleges as a lost cause, apparently opting instead to fund think-tanks and what not.
The only option now is private colleges formed specifically and exclusively as conservative enclaves in a world gone mad. Conservative legislators have done little if anything to even acknowledge the rampant unfairness of the present system.

The elite colleges are owned by the hard left. And, these colleges are used as a feeder into elite government—state department, federal courts, and all the agencies. It’s a choke point to keep traditional white conservatives out of positions of power. Believe it.
