"White Identity Politics" rise after President Trumps election esidency

Question

Stanford University is slated to offer a class this fall called:

“White Identity Politics,"

during which students will “survey the field of whiteness studies” and discuss the “possibilities of … abolishing whiteness,” according to the course description.

Citing pundits who say “the 2016 Presidential election marks the rise of white identity politics in the United States,” the upper-level anthropology seminar will draw “from the field of whiteness studies and from contemporary writings that push whiteness studies in new directions.”

“Students will consider the perils and possibilities of different political practices,” according to the course description, “including abolishing whiteness or coming to terms with white identity.”

Ernest Miranda, a spokesman for Stanford, told The Fix via e-mail that “‘abolishing whiteness’ is a concept put forward in the 1990s by a number of white historians. Their belief was that if other white people would, like them, stop identifying politically as white, it would help end inequalities.”

Talk about racism...

Is it possible to fail this course,by simply being white ?

White Identity Politics_101Stanford University..."coming to terms with white identity"by professor Angela Davis, PhD &#x27;Abolish-Whiteness&#x27;and this is a state funded school of higher learning? handing out credits for this curriculum, which is borderline propaganda to say the least. A student to his parents after they just dished out 31k for his freshman year at (of all universities in the country) Stanford. Parents:"so son; have you decided what your going to &#x27;major&#x27; in? what are your interest?   Yes I have, (said with emotion)  "White Identity Politics" or WIP _101  "I want to be a Politician"  father:  mother: student: to each their own...including Stanford University......

White people are really taking a beating these days. Odd when you take into account their contribution to society. Personally, I "protest" anti-white sentiment by boycotting those who foster and fuel anti- white male rhetoric.

I live in a rural community, there is only one restaurant serving breakfast within a 20 min drive. I used to frequent the place on a regular basis, probably dropped $1,000 per year for the past five years. The business is owned by a woman that lives down the road. I havent spent a dime there since the "day without women" march, where women were encouraged to boycott businesses owned by white males.

Dropped cnn from my cable pkg.

This sort of action is much more effective than holding a rally, march or any "one-off" protest.

I went online and found a list of essentials and requirements for taking this class:

*Only students with a 3.5 or higher GPA will be admitted (currently, only Asian and Indian students are enrolled in the class)

*All of the chalkboards are black, and you're only allowed to use white chalk - and at the end of each class they get a vigorous erasing

*The classroom pet is a black mamba that is fed a live white mouse at the beginning of each class

*If you need to research something on the internet, you're only allowed to use "Blackle"

*"Scalabrine's Political Forum Posts" is listed under "Essential Classroom Reading Material"

*Bringing an apple to your teacher has been replaced with the blackberry

And finally

*ANYONE caught bringing in (or, God forbid) actually using "Wite Out" on any tests or assignments will be expelled immediately - NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!
