    High school principal sends parents pamphlets asking them to reflect on their whitene

    High school principal sends parents pamphlets asking them to reflect on their whiteness.....




    A New York City public school principal urged parents to reconsider their “whiteness,” distributing literature advocating “white traitors” and ” white abolitionists” who “dismantle institutions.” The documents have stirred outrage online.


    Educators at East Side Community School in Manhattan passed out materials that included "The 8 White Identities," which was written by Barnor Hesse, an associate professor of African-American studies at Northwestern University. The scaled graphic ranges identities from "White Supremacist" to "White Abolitionist," in a color-coded meter.


    "There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities," writes Hesse in the brief, widely circulated curriculum. "People who identify with whiteness are one of these. It's about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing Others."


    New York City Department of Education declared in a statement: “Anti-racism and the celebration of diversity is at the core of our work on behalf of the young people of New York City, and the East Side Community School’s students, parents and staff partner together to advance equity in their community.


    Naturally, people against any sort of recognition of structural/critical race theory distorted the initiative and considered the move to be anti-white people.


    @primalpoly, for example, wrote: "'Dismantling whiteness, and not allowing whiteness to reassert itself.' Applied to any other group, this would sound like a monstrous euphemism for mass extermination & cultural annihilation.".....snip~

    Yes indeed....more patheticness from Leftist Racists. People need to stand up to all those pushing critical race theory. WHen they come with their bull$#@! about systemic racism. They need to be mocked. Shamed, Humiliated, and disrespected. Truly it is the only way they will learn.

    There is a funny irony here in that the very people who call more liberal people racist know so little history of how that came to be. For the interested reader see book below and learn the whys of divisive rhetoric.

    "...of the eighteenth century..."

    Few grew up poorer than I did. I grew up as of those "..poor white trash.." people. Yet, that was the 20th Century - where opportunity existed, where "class" was something to be overcome and where those that reached could grasp.

    We know that the democrats wanted slavery and fought for it. That the dems also campaigned for Jim Crow and that LBJ used welfare as a very thinly veiled way to keep blacks in their place and we know modern dems back BLM which has increased black deaths this summer and tells inner city blacks they don't need family structure to get ahead. Which is contrary to the exact way impoverished groups DO get ahead so it seems like a thinly veiled support for again keeping them poor and voting "D"

    Even more ironic is you attempting to define history. Not knowing history. Thinking that class is the forte.



    What is whiteness as group identity?



    The "Whiteness as Group Identity" model conceptualizes whiteness as one of many different racial identities, the strength of which is determined by four factors: group size, group power, group discrimination, and group appearance. According to this model, those who are part of a group...

    What is the privilege of whiteness?



    The privilege to define and separate itself from other groups is one of the undeniable privileges of whiteness. Because of the racial socialization described above, the "whiteness as privilege" model posits that whiteness is characterized not so much by racial bias (i.e., racism) but by racial privilege.

    May I recommend a trip to the 21st Century?

    Blaming events and attitudes of a previous century on current events, likely explains why some get stuck on the idea that slavery is prevalent in current society, and it's all one group's fault.

    Continuing to paste history on current life is why you keep walking into walls, which for the most part, are nonexistent for those who see life as it is and can be.
