I can’t believe this kind of rhetoric is acceptable at an establishment of higher learning[1]. Oh, what am I saying, these people probably get paid MORE to be racist towards the right groups of people!

From The Daily Caller:
James Harrison, history professor at Portland Community College, said in a lecture Monday for the college’s April Whiteness History Month that peace in the U.S. is impossible so long as whiteness still exists.
In a talk entitled “Imagine A World Without Whiteness,” Harrison declared confidently conflict can only cease once the power structure of whiteness is totally eliminated.
“Imagine everyone living life in peace,” Harrison said[3], building off John Lennon’s famous song “Imagine.”
“And how do we get to that good world is the question — a world without conflict. And to me, my interpretation of these words, is it would be a world, or U.S., without whiteness, in terms of the power structure,” Harrison said, offering his own interpretation of Lennon’s song.
For Harrison, the term whiteness is essentially a social category to which whites belong. And a social category, Harrison continued, is a group of people sharing in a common similar attributes, even if they have never actually met.
“So whiteness, white people, share a whole lot of things, even if they don’t interact, and one thing that they share is whiteness, or white privilege,” Harrison said[4].
In a normal world, he would be fired and vilified by open-minded people who don’t lend legitimacy to racism. But we live in America where not only is this acceptable, but encouraged on college campuses around the country.
