Current Events > UMN hosting prof to lecture on 'the violence of whiteness'

(+) Yeah! (+)

Here is an example of virulent racism in academia. This sounds like what a Neo Nazi POS would say about Jews.

https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10632

The University of Minnesota has invited a professor dedicated to dismantling whiteness to speak next week on how whiteness is an existential threat to the United States.

The Elephant in the Room: A Grown Up Conversation about Whiteness will be presented by Lisa Anderson-Levy, an Anthropology professor at Beloit College whose teaching philosophy is predicated on the belief that teaching is a political act.

During her lecture, Anderson-Levy is slated to speak on a number of issues, including the violence of whiteness and how colleges and universities in the United States may be complicit in perpetuating this violence.

This presentation explores the ubiquity and violence of whiteness and the ways in which academic institutions are poised to either reproduce or interrupt these discourses, writes Anderson-Levy, referring to herself in the third person.

She argues that whiteness poses an existential threat to social, political, and economic life in the U.S. and proposes that decentering whiteness is one of the most urgent social dilemmas of our time and demands our immediate attention, the abstract adds.

Anderson-Levy will also speak on how college administrators can decenter whiteness at their institutions, including in our budgets, our curricula, our disciplinary genealogies, our interactions with students, and our relationships with each other as colleagues.

Though the lecture appears geared towards college administrators, students are welcome to attend, and UNM spokeswoman Emmalynn Bauer confirmed to Campus Reform that the university is indeed sponsoring the lecture.

The ICGC Alumni Lecture Series is an opportunity to highlight successful alumni and allow current students to engage with them, Bauer said in a statement.

Campus Reform reached out to Anderson-Levy multiple times for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication. In her post at nearby Beloit College, her academic interests include feminist anthropology and activist anthropology.

She is also the co-leader on a $600,000 project to foster diversity, inclusivity, and equity at Beloit College, which was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The usual apologists have not chimed in to explain how the professor isn't saying what it looks like she is saying, it isn't racism when they do it, etc.

All non-western countries on Earth are taught to love their own people and their country and be proud of who they are.

Only whites are taught to hate themselves.

Quite a few countries out there were also colonialists, traded slaves, waged wars, committed genocides. And yet, they held up their heads high and stood firm and proud, and silenced whoever try to hold them accountable for their actions.

I agree. Whiteness has given rise to SJWs who are some of the worst members of society.

Yes, violence, slavery, and conquest are all part of human history and many leftists buy into the racist idea that those are primarily white things.

However I googled this professors name and she appears to be a very racist black woman rather than a virtue signaling white woman.

So 'She argues that whiteness poses an existential threat to social, political, and economic life in the U.S.' means she's just giving a history lesson?

So? Im sure a lot of racists would say that their hatred doesnt simply arise from physical appearance.

Not sure why people forget that many slaves were caught and sold by other Africans... And that slavery has existed long before that. And every human is capable of evil.

Imagine if someone made a lecture about the "violence of blackness" and just cited basic crime statistics.

There'd be a fucking riot.

A lot of people got pissed when Bannon told a French crowd to not let the racist label bother them. This serves as a great example of why you shouldnt care if youre called a racist for wanting things like borders. If you think this racist woman has a remotely reasonable position here, dont expect me to care when you call others a bigot.

You realize this website is clearly heavily biased against ANY kind of liberal thought
I also haven't said that what's she's saying isn't racist or offensive in any way

It's just you know
What details of her presentation does this article actually go into other than "she's talking about whiteness and how it's a social danger"

Does it give us her definition of "whiteness" as it's going to be used?
Does it bring up any specific, REFUTABLE points (lmfao) or sources

This article is clearly meant to present this as what the author perceived it to be: an attack on white people.

(also you meant IRREFUTABLE. unless you actually meant to say that the idea that black people are inherently more violent based on misleading statistics is something that can be refuted... which is true)

It's pretty clear to me that this will go deeper into the issue than skin color

What else would you ascribe to 'the violence of whiteness?' How would it be a threat to the US?

The white establishment's existence favors the actions of white people, thereby enabling casual violence against black people/other minorities

I mean, it's just an example
Clearly this person is pretty off the hinges racist but that doesn't mean what they have to say should be immediately invalid

especially if you're the type to give credence to stats about black violence and using them to justify the belief that somehow black people are inherently violent (which is what you're doing when you reference this:

This sounds racist if you replace white with any other group such as Jewish.

Modern leftists dont know how similar they sound to David Duke types.

It's a good thing that minorities and white people are on even footing (hence labeling them as such) in society

and that the history and implication behind discriminating against Jews is the same and holds the same power as what is admittedly a VERY slight offense against white people in the grand scheme of things

ROFL

because acknowledging the existing racial and power dynamics of the united states is the same as crying for the extermination or separation of people based on the fact that they are black

you realize that the KKK and other similar groups hold a view that black people are literally subhuman and therefore not deserving of human treatment

that's the shit you're trying to sympathize and side with, invoke when you're saying this shit

this doesn't say "kill or segregate all white people"
again, whiteness obviously (in the context of this lecture) does not just point to the group of people who have "white" skin

obviously this is loaded language but if you replace "whiteness" with "white establishment" or even just "the establishment" i think you get a better view of what needs to be said

All of this being said, I do still think this person is crazy and that this lecture is stupid

I just hate that you all think you're some kind of big victim because someone is talking about white people so bluntly

no he's not lmao

"White privilege" rhetoric is just a preemptive justification for forcibly seizing wealth from white people. It is the same type of rhetoric used to do that in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

This is what Marxism has become and it is the intended logical conclusion for SJWism.

I don't think I'm a victim. I think I'm being told a nontrivial part of the political left (basically the alt-left) that is explicitly racist is ACTUALLY not racist at all because "power dynamics". I don't like being lied to my face and following up that lie with a demand that I support extremist views or I'm in bed with the KKK.

Reminder that FrisbeeDude was weaseling around to try to justify what happened in Zimbabwe and what is now happening in South Africa.
