The fight to keep Critical Race Theory out of schools isn’t going to be easy as long a crazy people like this are in charge. A white assistant dean at Brandeis University says all white people are racist and that she hates whiteness. With TDS nearly eradicated, it appears lefties are all coming down with Guilty White Liberal Syndrome (GWLS). Why are these liberals so suspect able to debilitating ailments?
Brandeis hired Kate Slater to be an assistant dean for graduate student affairs, which is a solely administrative position. She however has turned it into a racial crusade, referring to herself as “white anti-racist scholar and educator.” What the hell is a white anti-racist scholar? Is there distinguished academic scholarship in white anti-racism, because if there is nobody has ever heard of it.
In any case, over the weekend, Slater made an interesting post on Instagram that must have gone over like gangbusters because her account is now set to private. Here’s a screenshot:
ALL CAPS means she’s F*CKING SERIOUS!!!
A few points of clarification:
1) Debates’ about critical race theory are often straw men for debates about whether or not systemic racism is real. And no number of statistics or facts that I could offer up are going to convince people to ‘see’ systemic racism if they don’t want to.
2) Yes, all white people are racist in that all White people have been conditioned in a society where one’s racial identity determines life experiences/outcomes and Whiteness is the norm and the default. That includes me!
3) I don’t hate white people – I hate whiteness. To distinguish between the two, please feel free to watch my recent live” What is whiteness?”
4) CRT does not create oppression: it names oppression that already exists.
I have a few points of clarification myself:
1) She can’t defend CRT theory so she dismisses it as straw man argument, which it most certainly is not. There’s no straw man involved in saying the white kids shouldn’t be taught to hate themselves for the color of their skin, which is what this is all about.
2) It racist to say “all (insert race) people are anything.” The only people for who race determines outcomes and experiences are the ones whose only identity is race. If this kook was even close to being right there would be no such thing as successful non-whites or poor white people.
3) If she hates whiteness, she hates white people, including herself. Also, I would rather scoop my eyes out with a rusty spoon than watch her lecturing on the evils of whitey.
4) Telling people to hate themselves for things they have no control over is not only oppression but abuse. CRT teaches white kids that they are inherently bad because of the skin pigment they were born with. And again, this is racism.
All of this stems from this woman hating the one thing about her she can’t control. She doesn’t hate that she’s a pompous blowhard jackass or a self-loathing insecure shrew, just that she was “cursed” with white skin.
