Professor: You Still Have “White Privilege” Even if you “Survived a Nazi Concentration Camp”

Professor: You Still Have “White Privilege” Even if you “Survived a Nazi Concentration Camp” Not a surprising comment from someone whose general ideology is probably not all that different from those whose madness built those camps in the first place.

  • What an ignorant fool. Those few left who survived or liberated those God forsaken places know better

    Yet again, proving my position that there should not be one single tenured individual working in education.

  • I bet this professor would have looked good in a brown shirt or better a black Waffen SS uniform. Not a dime's worth of difference.

  • Did anyone follow the link to her thesis published under the banner of "White Fragility"? Pure rhetoric and absolutely zero substance other than her belief system is Marxist based. As a Professor, what a waste of time but here she is being published by The U of NC. And who pays her salary? Another Bernadette and Bill in the making all on the tax payer's dime. Gruber was right, we are stupid.

    White Fragility - DiAngelo:

    Published by the International Journal of Pedagogy by the U of NC Greensboro

    Pedagogy: Education, teaching, tutoring, schooling etc…

    “Critical pedagogy is a philosophy of education and social movement that combines education with critical theory. First described by Paulo Freire, it has since been developed by Henry Giroux and others as a praxis-oriented "educational movement, guided by passion and principle, to help students develop consciousness of freedom, recognize authoritarian tendencies, and connect knowledge to power and the ability to take constructive action."

    Critical pedagogue Ira Shor defines critical pedagogy as:

    "Habits of thought, reading, writing, and speaking which go beneath surface meaning, first impressions, dominant myths, official pronouncements, traditional clichés, received wisdom, and mere opinions, to understand the deep meaning, root causes, social context, ideology, and personal consequences of any action, event, object, process, organization, experience, text, subject matter, policy, mass media, or discourse." (Empowering Education, 129)

    Critical pedagogy includes relationships between teaching and learning. Its proponents claim that it is a continuous process of what they call "unlearning", "learning", and "relearning", "reflection", "evaluation", and the impact that these actions have on the students, in particular students whom they believe have been historically and continue to be disenfranchised by what they call "traditional schooling".

    Critical Theory: “In philosophy, the term critical theory describes the neo-Marxist philosophy of the Frankfurt School, which was developed in Germany in the 1930s. Frankfurt theorists drew on the critical methods of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud. Critical theory maintains that ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation.”

    Sounds like Brain Washing to me...

  • So according to this stupid bitch, white privilege is the reason minorities live ghettos, sell drugs and shoot at each other because of a different colored bandana?
    I bet even she doesn't go into those areas.

    • Most of these "experts" have never set foot in a ghetto, or had any meaningful contact with the residents. When you try to tell them what you have actually seen, heard, experienced, they write you off as a racist. The wouldn't Schmitz e, let alone accept truth if it bit them in the ass!

  • "From the time I opened my eyes, I have been told that as a white person, I am superior to people of color."

    Sorry about your poor upbringing, but I won't tolerate your taking it out on me.

    • That was quite a tell. She suffers from irrational white guilt but is too steeped in progressive nonsense to have any introspection.

      • She's in academia! She went to school for 16 years, then graduate school for a few more, then got a job as a professor. She's been institutionalized all her life! She doesn't have a clue, because she has never participated in the real world.

        This goes beyond progressive nonsense (not that that isn't a major player). I've worked with technical professors who do side jobs as consultants (hydrologic, traffic, noise and air pollution). This is completely non-political. And while they are no question more grounded in the real world than a sociology prof, there is still a disconnect from the real ins and outs of the business world.

    • Being Sicilian, how do I get white privilege? Olive skin isn't white in any color spectrum.

  • Progressives are creating some kind of bizzaro world of racist nationalism. It’s like they want a fuehrer for races of all colors against whites, male in particular. All white males particularly democrats and RINOs had better wake up.

  • Again: one must wonder... how does white privilege explain the success of Asians?

    Speaking of death camps, I work with a guy who fled Cambodia during the slaughter. He was supposed to meet his family at the dock, and only half of them showed up. He had to leave anyway. There was no time to go through the city looking for them.

    He came to America knowing NO English.

    He has a good job, he speaks the language, attends church, has a nice family... and he's never stomped on a teenage girl's head in a McDonald's.

    • But,....can a person REALLY understand the American experience, without at least ONCE stomping on a teenage girl's head in a McDonald's?

      Speaking of Asians, I did a Renaissance Faire at Fresno City College last weekend, and the event was put on almost entirely by the Student Services group of the college. Female to male ration was about 6-1, and well over half of the students in the group were Asian. It was a VERY well ran event, the kids were amazingly hard working, polite, efficient, and friendly. It was an absolute pleasure.

  • I used to listen to "The Warroom" w/ Quinn & Rose for a few years. They had a start up guide that helped explain with the show was about. #27 is in play in this story...

    Quick Start Guide to the Quinn and Rose Show

    27. White privilege is a mythical advantage attributed by progressives to white people to explain away the social and economic failure of minority group politics.

    ...Sadly, the show is no more. WPGB nuked the show for whatever reason, it was not ratings, & I was hoping someone would pick them up. Preferably Sirius/XM, so it could have a national platform again. It used to be a nationally syndicated show that was on XM.
