Facts? We don't need no stinking white man's facts!

Hobart and William Smith Colleges is offering a course next year to teach students how “objectivity” and “meritocracy” function as “white mythologies.”
“White Mythologies: Objectivity, Meritocracy, and Other Social Constructions” is a sophomore-level course taught by Kendralin Freeman and Jason Rodriguez, who are sociology and anthropology professors, respectively.
"Students will explore how systematic logics that position ‘the West’ and ‘whiteness’ as the ideal manifest through such social constructions as objectivity, meritocracy, and race."
“This course explores the history and ongoing manifestations of ‘white mythologies’—long-standing, often implicit views about the place of White, male, Euro-American subjects as the norm,” explains the course description, which adds that students will also “explore how systematic logics that position ‘the West’ and ‘whiteness’ as the ideal manifest through such social constructions as objectivity, meritocracy, and race.”
Though neither Freeman or Rodriguez responded to a request for more information from Campus Reform, both professors have worked together for a few years, and notably co-authored an article in the journal of Whiteness and Education together.
In that article, Freeman and Rodriguez argue that despite the good intentions of white students and community members, calls for “intersectionality” and “diversity” on campus may actually “derail dialogue about racism” and inadvertently “recenter whiteness.” romote white privilege, as well, since those diversity efforts are often couched in neoliberal sloganeering as opposed to an acknowledgment that racism still exists. . . .
They also contend that efforts to increase minority representation on college campuses may actually paddressing the unfair, systematic advantages that white subjects experience, but are instead framed as either avenues for addressing historical injustices or issues of simple underrepresentation,” they write.

Well, I guess there goes their beloved “science,” then.
Another brainwashing course. Propaganda.
WOW!
Completely irrelevant and useless thread...
THREAD REJECTED! unread...

Why do troll Freepers post propaganda as "news?"
I already know all I need to about enemies domesticc, thankyoverymuch!
Facts? We don't need no stinking white man's facts!
I did learn a cool word in those courses—normative.
Normative is what some wacky professor thinks the perfect world would be.
Everything else falls short and is condemned with name-calling.
There—now you have learned everything you need to know about Sociology without paying the insane tuition fee!
Can they objectively prove their claim?
Course claims ‘objectivity’ is a ‘white mythology’
Whites doing it right since at least the Renaissance.
These guys must be the source for all those flat earth videos.
Brutal video from a pastor in Harlem.
If you toss objectivity, then reality becomes whatever they say it is.
How convenient!
“Fat, dumb and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
These people despise objectivity because they are such failures. That’s why they demand decisions based on ideology and race pimping. Under a merit system they’d be sweeping streets instead of teaching.
Yes, the Left is explicit in its wish to demolish the very foundations of the modern world. Because 2500 years of Western thought, dating back to the age of Socrates when no one had any concept of people being “white,” is “white mythology.”
Objectivity and meritocracy are not social constructions ... they are facts of reality. Anti-white racists are schizophrenic ... completely divorced from reality. They are insane, and should be institutionalized.
It's a cookbook!
That’s why you never give an inch and when they concoct a cause to be offended you laugh instead.
The only way to deal with political correctness is to be proudly politically incorrect.
It isn’t really color as much as culture, but that would be racist to point out. Wait...no, it wouldn’t be.
Two Socialogists were walking down a gravel road when they came upon a older gentleman laying in a ditch, beaten to a pulp.
“What a tragedy,” the first Sociologist was heard to say.
The second Socialogist responded, “Yes...we’ve got to find out who did this and help him,”
