It’s fascinating
watching the progression into the dark days ahead. In Nazi Germany, it didn’t
start out with mass arrests and deportments for concentration camps…first tiny
minorities were targeted, then larger and larger groups until all that remained
outside of the camps was the terrified majority, individuals of whom could not
speak out lest there was a sudden discovery that the “troublemaker” was even
distantly related to one of the groups in the camps and with so many sub-groups
targeted, the entire population legitimately was vulnerable (I’m using broad strokes here, which I trust
the gentle reader will forgive).
I remember, many
years ago, when we first abandoned academic equity when it came to Asian
students. They were too smart, you see, it was only fair that the entrance
requirements for Asians were (somewhat) secretly made just a little bit harder
than for the other students. Once this tiny crack was opened, it became ever
more tolerable to grant certain other minorities backdoor benefits, at the
expense of other groups.
Then came the
penalties for males. “We don’t have enough females in…” became a perpetual
battle cry (at least in STEM), and now males often find themselves penalized
for being in the wrong gender…even today, when around 60% of college students
are female, we nevertheless see ever more programs to bring more females into
the system. With this “minority”
conquered, it was time to move on to even bigger segment of the population:
White people.
Every week we now
hear of more cries against white people, not just to give them some penalty,
but outright calls for violence, even genocide against whites. A recent
article highlights some of the latest outrages, and while I grant
comparing this stuff to the later days of Nazi Germany is hyperbolic, the fact
still remains, if any other ethnic group was targeted like this, it would be
considered a terrible evil.
At the
University of Oregon this month, students are exploring race-related issues in
various symposia — albeit in segregated “tracks” based on self-identified race
and gender.
Described
as a full-day “retreat,” the Women of Color Symposium has one track for those
who are “womxn of color” — and no, that “x” is not a typo — while the second
track is for students who are not of
color.
I’ve written
before of the out-of-control
white shaming in Oregon, but that was nearly two years ago, not that much has
changed. Have we all forgotten the futility of “separate but equal”
accommodations? This whole concept was abandoned as a vicious lie half a
century ago. If we know that giving a special place just for black students is
morally wrong, how is it that we cannot know that giving a special place just
for white students is also wrong?
A brain suffering
this level of cognitive disconnect is obviously malfunctioning to the point of
madness, so it’s hardly surprising that the morally depraved lunatics running
this system would pile on the madness by spelling “women” with an “x,” as
though any aspect of the English language would allow that letter to possibly
be between an “m” and an “n” in a pronounceable word.
To avoid any misunderstandings, the university
notes the following on its registration form for the presumably
separate-but-equal events: “Any self-identified Womxn of Color, including Trans
Women, Non-Binary and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color, are welcome in the
Womxn of Color Symposium Track. We respectfully ask that anyone who does not
identify as Womxn of Color attend the Allyship Symposium Track in order to
provide and maintain a sacred
space.”
--emphasis
added.
They are
obligated to put the qualifier “self-identified” here, as the word “womxn” is
not a word, not in the dictionary, and the meaning of it cannot be common
knowledge. Thus you’ll need your own personal definition. There’s another odd
word in the above:
Sacred.
Not to shed any
scorn on religion but the madmxn and madwomxn doing this honestly think the
seminars where they’ll spew anti-white hatred are sacred.
Apparently they’re self-identifying the meaning of that
word, because in terms of the Enlightenment, in terms of our most successful
philosophical considerations, holding seminars to enhance hate and destroy a
particular ethnic group simply because of their ethnicity is the exact opposite
of sacred, and it in fact a defilement
of everything higher education (supposedly) stands for.
As direct slap in
the face to the “separate but equal” lie, these racially segregated seminars
are explicitly different. Here is what the white people get:
However — the second track, “What’s Up With
Whiteness,” is...intended to be a space where people at all stages of their
social justice journey can engage with one another in entry-level conversations
about white identity.”
I’ve heard the lunatics running our higher
education asylums as Bolsheviks, Leftists, and Progressives, among other
words—many of which used to be words of pride, instead of the quite justified
slurs they are today. Because one phrase invariably pops up in their
ideological literature (at risk of demeaning that word) is “social justice,” I
feel the best phrase describing them is Social Justice Warrior, or SJW.
It’s very telling
that among all the groups targeted, SJWs have never been in the crosshairs,
despite their tendency to act in crazy ways (also known as “virtue signaling”)
and known propensity towards violence.
Now, Oregon is
close to California, and so it’s reasonable to conjecture that what we’re
seeing in Oregon is just spillover from the constant insanity pouring out of
that state. It’s a reasonable premise, but consider what’s happening on the
other side of the continent:
Florida Gulf Coast University assistant
professor of sociology Ted Thornhall, for example, offers a course about “white
racism.”
“Much
evidence, both historical and sociological, shows the U.S. has been and remains
a white supremacist society,” noted Thornhall in the school’s newspaper. He
emphasized that his course was not anti-white, but anti-white racism.
Semantic arguments
about the difference between “anti-white” and “anti-white racism” wear a little
thin here. In times past, it took a group of scholars to create a course,
determining by consensus what material was academically relevant. Now you can
just slap any ol’ thing together and call it “higher education”; it used to be
the main restriction on creating courses by even this laughable method was the
course needed to sell, but with the SJW takeover now the courses need only
support the ideology.
Did nobody
question this course?
In a seeming pre-emptive strike at any who
might question the need for the course, or its legitimacy...betrays gross
ignorance and/or malevolent intent as well as a self-evident need to enroll in
the course.”
Another key to
identifying the SJW is the cry of “RACIST” against any who challenge anything
about their ideology. I concede he’s not exactly crying racism at anyone who
thinks maybe this course might be dubious in terms of academic necessity, but,
gee whiz, that’s quite the flurry of attacks against me, or anyone else with
questions, here. In times past, scholars were expected to question, but now we
get pre-emptive attacks against what used to be honorable behavior.
Allow me to
address the attacks.
I don’t consider
myself grossly ignorant, I’m quite aware white people have done many extremely
racist things…but to focus a course like this just on the “sins” of white
people is going to mislead far more than enlighten. Just as our obsessive focus
on slavery in this country’s past has caused much of the population to believe
only whites had slaves, or that it was a strictly American institution (instead
of the simple truth that essentially every civilization on the planet had
slavery in some form, regardless of skin color), courses like the above need
considerable balance to be considered actual education instead of
indoctrination.
He also
pre-emptively says I must have malevolent intent, although he gives little
reason or evidence why that must be the case. Accusations made without evidence
can be dismissed without evidence, and this dismissal is considered ever more
reasonable the more outrageous the accusation. As malevolence is fairly extreme
to me, I could simply dismiss the accusation here…but I nevertheless submit
much of the work in my blog, wherein I often reveal an interest in making
higher education about education again. I don’t wish him harm at all, and am a
little curious who he thinks I’m being malevolent toward, even theoretically.
Perhaps I need to
enroll in his course, to see with my own eyes that there’s more than the
obvious indoctrination here, but enough defense.
This sort of
anti-white hysteria is becoming ever more common on our campuses. First some Asians were taken away, and nothing was done. Then many males left campus, and
nothing was done. At some point, whites are going to see our campuses aren’t
for them, either.
This may not be
the same as the events in 1933-1939, but, yes, it does seem to rhyme.
