When you were growing up, the term “abolition” likely referred to slavery.
But much history has since been made, and we’re in the midst of a racial revolution.
These days, a world of wokeness wants to “abolish whiteness.”
How might that be done?
According to University of California, Berkeley Professor Zeus Leonardo, we must eradicate white people.
A bit of background via his faculty page:
Some of his essays include: “Critical Social Theory and Transformative Knowledge,” “The Souls of White Folk,” “The Color of Supremacy,” “Contracting Race,” and “Dis-orienting Western Knowledge.”
The author’s most recent books:
- Race, Whiteness, and Education
- Race Frameworks
- Education and Racism
Per The Post Millennial, in a video of the instructor’s lecture “Teaching Whiteness in a Multicultural Context and Colorblind Era,” Zeus asks, “Is it worth it to be white anymore?”
A host of current headlines beg the same.
White folks, he waxes, “depend” upon whiteness:
“[I’m] trying to distinguish between whiteness and ideology, white people and identities and white bodies, which is some kind of literal understanding there that then we graft the meaning of white people onto, right? But if you undercut whiteness as an ideology, one that a lot of abolitionists suggest is parasitic, right? And it’s an ideology that white people really depend on.”
Should they be let off the hook?
“If we give white people an option out of that, and it’s not just sort of words, right? It’s sort of structural transformations, then what I’m suggesting is that it also signals the withering away of white people.”
If he is THAT committed, tell him to start at my house.
It will also be the END of that particular crusade.
Doesn’t he understand that there are about 50 MILLION rednecks just waiting for a reason?
That is the biggest army on the planet.
Go ahead. Start trouble with THEM.
The working-class families they portray as being Racist are more diverse than the Ruling class now. Their sons and daughters are color blind and many families now have mixed-race marriages and grandchildren and love and embrace them and keep their families together. I know a handful of grandfathers that in their day would have been considered Red Neck Racists and as their families expanded so did their capacity for love and acceptance. The Racial divide is such a SHAM. I know as many that have sons or daughters that were soldiers and not and came home with gay boyfriends or girlfriends and thought OH BOY this will blow the old man’s stack and the family apart. There was an initial shock but good fathers come around and keep their families together. No one likes so much change so quickly in one lifetime the world used to change gradually from generation to generation but not so much anymore just when you thought you knew who you were and what everything was about you find yourself changing. It’s not really that hard. You just don’t look back and think the world you thought you knew was yours and live in the world your in now.
