A course has been slated to start this fall at Stanford University that looks (among other things) at the perils and possibilities of different political practices,” according to the course description, “including abolishing whiteness or coming to terms with white identity.” And yes, it sounds like a joke, but it is apparently a very real course:
CSRE 136: White Identity Politics (ANTHRO 136B)
Pundits proclaim that the 2016 Presidential election marks the rise of white identity politics in the United States. Drawing from the field of whiteness studies and from contemporary writings that push whiteness studies in new directions, this upper-level seminar asks, does white identity politics exist? How is a concept like white identity to be understood in relation to white nationalism, white supremacy, white privilege, and whiteness? We will survey the field of whiteness studies, scholarship on the intersection of race, class, and geography, and writings on whiteness in the United States by contemporary public thinkers, to critically interrogate the terms used to describe whiteness and white identities. Students will consider the perils and possibilities of different political practices, including abolishing whiteness or coming to terms with white identity. What is the future of whiteness?
Clearly, the meaning here is NOT to abolish white people (as some more extravagant websites have claimed), but to get white people to “stop identifying politically as white, it would help end inequalities.” Surely this is equally offensive? It is incredibly inaccurate and makes such HUUGE suppositions that it is almost laughable.
The idea that whites vote based on their whiteness is easily disprovable by pointing out that the US has (ostensibly) a Two Party System! If whites voted or acted politically as one, wouldn’t there be only one Party?
Let’s look at some countries that do have one-party systems:
- China.
- Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea)
- Vietnam.
- Laos.
- Cuba.
- Eritrea.
- Western Sahara.
Not a huge amount of white folks there. The idea that whites act politically as a bloc is as insulting as saying “all blacks vote for democrats because they are black.” Not only is it untrue, but it’s deeply patronizing and denies people their Agency.
This course will help no one. It will create a false idea in the minds of susceptible kids that one part of society is selfish and acting in its own interest at the expense of others. This is true of ALL parts of society, and is the purpose of the electoral democratic system. We choose candidates based on what which policies we think will be better for ourselves, our families, and our local communities. Id we didn’t we’d be idiots.
If I were of a more paranoid bent, I would suggest that this is the beginning of an effort to disenfranchise voters.
Every honest person knows that when ivory tower elitists use genocidal rhetoric like “abolish whiteness” that filters out to the street and is taken as “kill white people.” No matter how they dance around the elephant in the room, they are doing the same thing the nazis did before they rounded people up, which is to use rhetoric suggesting that certain groups do not deserve what they have and crimes committed against those groups are acceptable.
Ask a gang member on the streets what “abolish whiteness” means and they are not going to respond that it means examining cultural norms and how to stop people from “politically identifying as white”. There is a genocidal agenda afoot that the left is openly embracing. The left is using coded language to signal people on the streets that crimes against whites should be normalized.
stop falling for the stupid subversive tactics.
The point is dumb asses on the street DO fall for the subversive tactics and follow through with violence directed at white people. Colin Flaherty has a YouTube channel and he documents this reality with new videos every day from all corners of the nation, on how this energy is being directed at white people, and what the consequences are.
i think whites do their own share of violence against each other . no need for anyone else to chip in. the dumb asses on the street usually get paid to chip in to these events. staged is just that.
You mean ? Antifa ?? This is what really they are ?….

Quote: Abolish Whiteness…And other things Taught at Stanford University?
Question ?? Does this apply as well to white Jewish persons ??
Since they are behind it, i don’t think it applies to them.
Humm… All Right ?? But how the Trotskyites psychopaths will distinguish a “White European” to be genocided & a White Joo ? To kiss his arse ?? Like they Chinese would say,? “You white look all same “??
Well the Jews behind the left wing agitators don’t consider that it applies to them. Of course if the colored masses start killing whitey they won’t distinguish between those that on their side and not. A little miscalculation on their part. Kind of like when the well meaning whites helped the blacks in Haiti 200 or so years ago. When the blacks won they were killed as well.
Yupp See this & see the result of 200 years of black rule ?

Man, I could have sworn Leland Stanford was a white guy, guess they gotta shut down the campus! Someday if you read the Cliff Notes of Toni Morrison’s or Maya Angelou’s works you will have a college education.
more absurdity to cause division among the people. how about abolish all references to skin color period. people are all humans. or most are anyway. those called the elite ,its debatable if they are human. the masses must stop letting these petty silly issues divert them from the real problem,that happens to be those same elite. once the majority accept the fact that real power lies with them,the troublemaking arrogant elite will fall.
Well You have this ..
