Harvard professor argues for 'abolishing' white race

THE WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | 9/4/02 | By Joyce Howard Price

[DM1]

Noel Ignatiev, a founder of a journal called Race Traitor and a fellow at Harvard's W.E.B. DuBois Institute, a leading black-studies department, argues in the current issue of Harvard Magazine that "abolishing the white race" is "so desirable that some may find it hard to believe" that anyone other than "committed white supremacists" would oppose it.

I was pissed when I read this. Like I never had to work for anything in my life. Outrageous! I will be sending a nice email to Harvards today not that they will care but I hate to sit silent on something like this.

[Constitutional Patriot]

Yeah...this is what is being taught at our "elite" universities. What a joke. This guy should be pushing a broom (no offense to custodians).

[Anotherpundit]

The sad thing is the guy doesn't even have a coherent idea behind the rhetoric. He's just trying to say "racism is bad" in controversial words, but he doesn't even quite manage that..

[Bigun]

Why would you be pissed?

This is just another communist academic doing what he does! Happens many times EVERY day in our institutions of "higher" learning.

Now hold on, there are some white folk I wouldn't mind seeing abolished. Take bill and hillary, reno and the lizard. the four white commy lezzies(?) in the senate.

"keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females, too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed — not 'deconstructed' but destroyed."

But...that's not racism because it was said by a 'person of color'.

If a white person were to object to it publicly...they'd be labeled a racist, I'd bet.

a leading black-studies department

Yeah, try introducing a White Studies Dept. into the curriculum.

Among the "privileges" of being white, according to Race Traitor, are not being followed by security in stores, not being harassed by police, having easier access to better schools, jobs and housing, and not being asked whether skin color or affirmative action got you a job.

This man is quite simply a moron.

[TightSqueeze]

Mr. Ignatiev pledges in the essay that his journal, Race Traitor, intends to "keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females, too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed — not 'deconstructed' but destroyed."

Locked, loaded and if this bastard should ever present himself at my door I will detail just how hard his proposition would be to enact in real-time.

Outrageous commie! As a Jewish person he embarrasses me. He's an idiot. Unfortunately, so many Jews believe the left (many are red diaper babies) and are unthinking about the left.

Other Jews (like Horowitz, and many Jewish freepers like myself) are just disgusted with this horse manure, and let me say, we don't agree at all.

This hatred of white people is starting to make me really angry, also.

If these white-haters want a contest rather than peaceful coexistence, then, they are gonna get it.

The clock is ticking. People have been tolerant of these sorts of attacks, and, they too are getting pissed.

It isn't going to take much longer.

Meanwhile, the white-haters are shooting themselves in the foot.

If I were running an organization, I would not want this sort of destructive influence poisoning it.

So the result of the white hating is a glass ceiling like you never seen before.

And it's deserved, IMHO.

[IronJack]

"abolishing the white race" is "so desirable ...

This is advocacy of genocide. BY definition. Anyone making such an outrageous statement against the black race would be summarily executed. BUt in elitist circles, it's okay to loathe yourself. If you're white ...

[isthisnickcool]

Hey, if I scratch 40 points off my I.Q. total and swear I'm a Marxist ex-toilet cleaner can I go to HA-VARD too?

[freedomcrusader]

If you're a minority, then definitely, you can. No brains required.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

I'd venture to guess that the proper name for this fellow is "wigger."

[JimVT]

We have allowed the elitist Universities to build their own agendas at the risk of failing to provide an education to students.

Every professor at one of these no-think tanks should be required to answer a question from a potential student in his/her class: "When I finish your course, what will I be able to take with me and use?"

Among the "privileges" of being white, according to Race Traitor, are not being followed by security in stores, not being harassed by police, having easier access to better schools, jobs and housing, and not being asked whether skin color or affirmative action got you a job.

Real easy solution to the last one: dismantle affirmative action.

[Quix]

I'm NOT for arrogance based privilege without merit.

But the guy is an idiot. Intermarriage has shown that EVERY other race disappears quickly as the white race physical characteristics are GENETICALLY dominant in terms of white race traits.

It's curious. I wonder why it is. I assume God has His reasons.

Certainly the "white race" has much to answer for. But the other races are often "RACIST" against their cohorts in the next village, neighborhood etc. The idiot needs a brain transplant and removal immediately from Harvard.

But...that's not racism because it was said by a 'person of color'.

From the article:

Asked in a 1997 interview with the New York Times if he hates his own white skin, Mr. Ignatiev said, "No, but I want to abolish the privileges."

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

I have worked retail. We watched anyone who looked like they might steal something.

not being harassed by police,

I just got stopped yesterday and I'm white.

having easier access to better schools, jobs and housing,

I live in a decent neighborhood...not the best, by any means, but decent. There are white people, black people and Spanish people living in my neighborhood and going to my kids' schools.

and not being asked whether skin color or affirmative action got you a job.

Well, I can tell you, I have been looking for a job, now, for a few weeks. Believe it or not, I noticed there have been very few white people working where I have applied. I wish they could use some of that 'affirmative action' on me.
