Report: CRT Symposium Speaker Calls Diversity of Thought 'White Supremacist' Excrement

May 18, 2022 by Alex Parker Leave a Comment

Is diversity of thought a product of white supremacy? It appears so, according to a college professor.

As reported by Campus Reform, academics gathered recently for a conference on Critical Race Theory. Organized by Critical Race Studies in Education Association (CRSEA) and hosted by Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, the symposium took place between May 31st and June 2nd.

CRSEA’s website describes its mission thusly:

[W]e are committed to (1) countering and combating systemic and structural racism with scholarship and praxis, (2) recognizing the multiple locations of oppression and the myriad manifestations and effects of their intersections and (3) co-constructing liberating knowledge that facilitates collective agency to transform schools and communities.

Amid the meet-up, instructors waxed on that most pernicious of all contemporary blights, whiteness.

According to a witness, per Campus Reform, a California college teacher whacked away:

“Whiteness has already been constructed against blackness. There is no virtue in whiteness, it is inherently violent,” one conference-goer tweeted, referencing a quote from Michael Dumas, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley who spoke at the event.

Continued:

“Whiteness and the United States knows itself through the violence and death of the subordinated,” another attendee quoted Dumas as saying, with one academic at the conference noting Dumas claimed that there “is no position of whiteness that isn’t already violent.”

CR quotes tweets by the professor along those lines, but they appear to have been deleted or marked private.

Dumas, notably, has expressed similar views in the past, tweeting that “whiteness” is “violent and delusional, delighting in Black death in every historical moment,” claiming at the recent conference that “there will never be anything close to justice in the U.S. because the system is built upon violence.”

The outlet relays another characterization by Indiana University-Purdue Professor James Scheurich, who purportedly asserted that “research” is a “colonial, white supremacist, elite process.”

Here’s more:

Professor Theodorea Berry suggested that “some people need to be slapped into wokeness.”

Berry explained to Campus Reform that the “notion of being ‘slapped into wokeness’ is one where an individual comes to gain [a] level of understanding about others’ oppression by experiencing oppression,” saying this is “especially true for those socially marginalized” people “who subscribe to respectability politics.”

“The proverbial ‘slap’ is the incident of marginalization,” she added. “The ‘wokeness’ is the realization that regardless of your privilege, marginalization can occur.”

One attendee, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago, concluded her time at the conference by noting that she’s “happy” since she managed to collect “a few white tears.”

Perhaps the most notable quote from the conference came from University of Illinois at Chicago Professor David Stovall, who reportedly lambasted “diversity of opinion” as “white supremacist bull—-.”

He also allegedly announced, “White tears are an act of physical and political violence.”

It appears wokeness is the Windex working on whiteness, but can it be removed?

Schools are sure giving it a go:

White College Professor Fights the Lie — and ‘Disease’ — of Whiteness

Professor Prescribes ‘Reregulation’ to Help White People Stop Their Racist Violence

Professor Tells Audience We’re ‘Dying of Whiteness’

Disastrously, white supremacy seems to be all over:

Major University Whacks the White Supremacy of the Library of Congress

What’s Behind Black-on-Asian Hate Crime? ‘White Supremacy,’ Claims Colorado Professor

Law Professor Denounces the Constitution’s ‘White Supremacy,’ Calls for an ‘Antiracist’ Replacement

Thankfully, some are fighting against it — and not just in academia.

MSNBC host Chuck Todd is doing his part. He’s standing against the white supremacy of “free speech”:

Following the Failure of 'Latinx,' the Woke Work up Something Overwhelmingly Different: 'Latine'

May 10, 2022 by Alex Parker Leave a Comment

For some revolutionaries, conventional language must go.

Hence, America’s been served a generous dose of new terms over the past few years. And where words have been retained, their usage has evolved. Moreover, the employment of code has substantially thrived.

For instance, people of all political stripes might invest themselves in helping the downtrodden; but if someone says they must “do the work” to help “marginalized communities,” you might be able to guess how they vote.

And in the lexicon of modernity, a new woke term’s in town.

The Left side of the aisle has gone repeatedly to bat for “Latinx,” but it just won’t stick.

Señoras y señores, I give you “Latine.”

Why would anyone attempt to unnaturally force a new term into use? Whatever the answer, New York University’s onboard.

Via Instagram, the school has announced a host of identity-group-based graduation ceremonies covering everyone but heterosexual whites.

“NYU Cultural and Identity-based Graduation Celebrations,” it explains, “were established to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of graduating students of color and LGBTQ+ students — undergraduate, graduate, professional studies.”

But said celebration won’t call Hispanics what they overwhelmingly prefer.

The divisions:

  • Black Grad
  • Lavender Grad (LGBTIQA+)
  • APID/A Grad (Asian Pacific Islander Desi American)
  • Native Grad (American Indian)
  • Latine Grad

As noted by Campus Reform, “Latinx” doesn’t fit the Spanish language:

Some have criticized Latinx for not conforming to the linguistic rules of Spanish. Students at Emory University and Swarthmore College, among others, have criticized the term along these lines.

Writing for Swathmore’s The Phoenix, Gilbert Guerra and Gilbert Orbea call usage of the term “a blatant form of linguistic imperialism,” arguing that activists are engaging in the “forcing of U.S. ideals upon a language in a way that does not grammatically or orally correspond with it.”

But if you don’t at first succeed, try, try again…

Students and administrators at some universities have begun using “Latine” in an attempt to achieve inclusivity while conforming to the linguistic rules of Spanish.

Colorado State University Latino student center El Centro sheds light:

The term Latinx emerged in the early 21st century, reportedly first used online in 2004. Latinx is the gender-neutral alternative to Latina or Latino. It is a term used to describe a diverse group of people who have roots in Latin America. While it is unclear exactly when and where the term emerged, it is clear it emerged from queer Latinx online communities in order to challenge the gender binary.

Latine is also a gender-neutral form of the word Latino, created by gender non-binary and feminist communities in Spanish-speaking countries. The objective of the term is also to remove gender from Spanish, by replacing it with the gender-neutral Spanish letter E, which can already be found in words like estudiante.

It’s a curious choice. According to a 2020 report, “Latinx” was unused by 97% of American Hispanics. Since the Latinx effort’s in the toilet, they construct something one letter away from “latrine”?

In its defense, according to Campus Reform, “Latine” is flush with support.

“Latine” has…been used by student organizations and campus officials at the University of California Santa Barbara, Dominican University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

It’s also being bolstered by academic essays.

Among these are journal articles titled “Family Engagement and Latine Children’s Early Narrative Skills”, “Human Services Professionals Perceptions on the Trauma, Stigma, and Mental Health on the Wellbeing of Latine and Hispanic Undocumented Immigrants” and “Nutrition-Related Information Shared by Latine Influencers: A YouTube Content Analysis,” among others.

In The Tulane Hullabaloo, student editor Doxey Kamara calls the word “a more organic alternative to “Latinx.”

Latine fills the void in a way Latinx never could, mostly because it was designed to work with the Spanish language. It is not an insertion; it is an evolution. A natural progression from gendered terms to neutral ones. As such, Latine can be pronounced and conjugated in Spanish, while ‘Latinx’ cannot.

Of course, had it been an evolution, it wouldn’t have been “designed.”

But so goes modernity — we’re no longer operating in an organic world. A suggestion comes down from the top, and we’re told it’s the right thing to do.

Will “Latine” thrive? If people can finally be convinced that “Latino” is offensive, then perhaps.

After all, it’s an era of unprecedented sensitivity…
