If you had told me a couple of years ago that a book like Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism would be topping the bestseller lists and receiving accolades from all over, I wouldn’t have believed it.
And I’m speaking as someone who, in my 2012 book The Victims’ Revolution: The Rise of Identity Studies and the Closing of the Liberal Mind, warned about the dire ascendancy of identity studies, which are far less about education than about ideological indoctrination and the promotion of social activism.
Although I focused in my book on Women’s Studies, Black Studies, Queer Studies, and Chicano Studies, I devoted a few pages to DiAngelo’s then-fledgling field, Whiteness Studies, which, given the current preoccupation with white racism, is now poised for prominence on a level outstripping even those behemoths.

As one of your regular readers who also made the choice to work in "higher de-education," I happen to know a number of "_____ studies" professors. What a bunch of dumb-shits. The entire "field" such as it is if full of horseshit. The degree of stupidity possessed by these lousy fucks it so stunning, it would take your breath away. You cannot even begin to imagine. I just ran out of words.

If a Black man goes out with a White woman, is he a race-traitor, and can he be lynched as such? (Asking for a friend.)
ReplyDeleteStudy us all you want to, you'll never be us. They'll never reign in that green eyed monster on their collective shoulders will they?
ReplyDeleteIt's really not surprising that book is selling if you look around at the dumbasses out there, they are confused about what color and sex they are and apologizing but have no idea why........ Retards one and all.

Not so much retards as just good graduates of commie schooling. They were taught this manure from first grade on and really believe it.
DeleteAmen, JD, amen!
DeleteThe reason all of this denigration of white people is going on is due to the Demonrats domination of the public school system, through the teachers (I refuse to capitalize this scum sucking organization) union and college education that is dominated by Demonrat professors. The white Demonrats are living in some fantasy world where they will rule over a predominately brown and black nation at some point in the future. I've got news for them. Look at the racial composition of the U.S. House of representatives for a clue about who is going rule over whom.
ReplyDeleteAll brought to you by public employee UNIONS, who now, in addition to having the same golden retirement benefits they've always had going back to when retirement benefits were first offered to public employees, have better current pay packages then 80% of the rest of the country's working people.
...and WE allowed that to take place, instead of telling the teachers union, and all public employee unions for that matter, to stick their demands where the sun don't shine and finding other people to do their jobs.

Hmmm. "White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism" ... how much racism can you cram into a title? Frankly, the only racist white person I knew died in the 80s. Assuming that I'm a racist just because of my skins color is racist.
ReplyDeleteMost people are polite, sometimes too polite for their own good. When you start off by calling them a racist, most people have too much politeness in them to tell you to go fuck yourself you racist bastard.
I wonder how many of the people active in BLM, if born white in the mid-1800s would be riding a horse, wearing a hood, and burning crosses. They certainly seem to be racist enough to fit the profile.
Now, answer me this. If a mixed race couple have a baby, why is that baby about always considered black as he is just as white as black. Especially as blacks are the poor down trodden minority that never gets the breaks the whites do. Why handicap your child when he could grow up with all the perks of a white man.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it is because in times past any percentage of black blood, as it was once said,, makes the offspring black. Black father+ white mother = black baby. White father + black mother = black baby and so on.

Speaking of Dumb-shits...
ReplyDeleteThis should be interesting to “observe”...from across the board for afew yr’s...from the outside. Perhaps a ghost town?

I've read DiAngelo, and while it's drivel, if you expect to live another decade or so, I would recommend picking up a used copy (never, ever a new one). It is the road map to the future.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that in the near future, whites will be a minority in the United States. But the problem is, there will not be a majority identity group. Instead, it will be a patchwork of groups, not a clear majority. No wall, no amount of immigration bans, and no amount of deportations will stop it unless everyone white woman of babymaking age starts popping out a white child every 9 months and 30 minutes for the next 20 years.
In other words, it ain't gong to happen.
But, like I said, its not that a new majority will be formed, just that there will not be a single group in control. How do you unify this type of society? What do a hard working immigrant and a Welfare Queen have in common? Not much. But there is a tried and true way to unify people: a common enemy.
That is the point of “White Fragility.” Whites will still control a vast part of the economy for the foreseeable future. Whites will likely be the cultural gate keepers for the same length of time. So to make the new system work, you will have to vilify whites via Conflict Theory, and place them on a lower social tier.
Blacks spent a hundred years at a lower class level in this country because they themselves accepted it. White Fragility is the school of thought that will make whites the second tier of society.
So read the damn book. Know your enemy.
I live right at an hour west of what is closest to a 3rd world city in the US, New Orleans, La. If I want to know my enemy I can just drive over and spend a couple hours watching the natives. No book can give you the whole truth, the stench, ignorance, theft, murderous rampage or ineptitude. The Hard Rock Hotel collapsed last year, back in Oct I believe, killing 3. 2 bodies, what's left anyway, are still up there in the rubble as of today. Shooting everywhere in the city and after a billion or so of taxpayer money it still floods in a rain storm.
DeleteNo thank you.

The more the dems quack about "racism" the worse the situation gets, and that seems to be their goal...to stir shit up and make black folks think they're due something from white folk. This approach will not end well for either the dems or the black people who buy into it. I'm thinking that number is actually less than 50%.
