Emory University professor George Yancy tries to defend his claim that all white people are racist by saying that he is sexist for existing in a male dominated world. And if he can come to terms with that, surely all white people can come to terms with being racist. This sounds like the same theory climate change enthusiasts use when they talk about global warming . . . the very act of existing is the root of the problem.
Moving forward Yancy gets to the meat of his holiday message which is one infused by extreme critical race theory brainwashing that attempts to shame and guilt (while directly claiming they are doing no such thing) all white people simply for being alive and not living their lives full of self hate because of the horrible actions of other white people they never knew.
“If you are white, and you are reading this letter, I ask that you don’t run to seek shelter from your own racism. Don’t hide from your responsibility. Rather, begin, right now, to practice being vulnerable. Being neither a “good” white person nor a liberal white person will get you off the proverbial hook,” Yancy writes.
Not to have his message misconstrued as anything else but a full on attack on the existence of white people, Yancy continues, “After all, it is painful to let go of your “white innocence,” to use this letter as a mirror, one that refuses to show you what you want to see, one that demands that you look at the lies that you tell yourself so that you don’t feel the weight of responsibility for those who live under the yoke of whiteness, your whiteness.”
There you have it white people. Trayvon Martin killed by an overzealous vigilante? Your fault. Michael Brown struggling with a police officer leading to his death. Your fault. Black on Black crime. Your fault. War on drugs. Your fault. Just shut up and accept your role in the actions of other white people you never met.
After again acknowledging that readers by now are most likely fuming, Yancy further reveals the mindset of hard left identify politics obsessed liberals (both black and white) by directly writing that a white persons actual lived experiences with those of different races doesn’t matter whatsoever. Again, simply existing as white is racist.
Again, take a deep breath. Don’t tell me about how many black friends you have. Don’t tell me that you are married to someone of color. Don’t tell me that you voted for Obama. Don’t tell me that I’m the racist. Don’t tell me that you don’t see color. Don’t tell me that I’m blaming whites for everything.
To do so is to hide yet again. You may have never used the N-word in your life, you may hate the K.K.K., but that does not mean that you don’t harbor racism and benefit from racism.
After all, you are part of a system that allows you to walk into stores where you are not followed, where you get to go for a bank loan and your skin does not count against you, where you don’t need to engage in “the talk” that black people and people of color must tell their children when they are confronted by white police officers.
The worldview expressed here by Yancy and held by many on the new left is important to understand, especially in the context of the recent campus “uprisings” across the country.
When authoritarian “activists” issue demands that include punishing anyone who says things like all lives matter we must remember that they already hold beliefs that say all white people are racist regardless of their own actions so are therefore almost guaranteed to not be happy with any reforms short of some sort of reparations for past crimes committed. (This is particularly apparent in the writings of Nehisi Coates)
Does any of this sound racist to you? This is the same sort of reasoning Hitler used before exterminating the Jews. While that might be an extreme, what Yancy is basically saying is that the problem of racism can’t be solved unless all white people “disappeared”. Wouldn’t that make African Americans the dominant race in the United States?
This means that the fight for “equality” isn’t really a fight for equality at all. It’s a fight for racial dominance. This is the kind of person they’re allowing to teach your kids in college, which seems to be a growing trend in America’s academic system. Hatred creates more hatred. This is putting us on a path towards violence, stupidity and being offended at everything, three things that mix just about as well as liberal ideology.

Then how is it that I (a white male) concider Christina Hall (a woman of color, [hate that term]) one of the best friends I’ve ever had. My life would not be complete without her. So don’t go labeling me as racist!p
Dennis Kramer and Alan Perry you are both exactly right.
This is what is teaching the kids 2day? How very disturbing. This idiot professor, I think, can’t grasp his own racism, so of course must blame someone else, which in this case, he’s trying to transfer his own racism into all white people. In one sentence he says he’s not blaming anyone, and the very next words are that everything is the fault of white people. Maybe God is the true racist, since we’re created by Him, both black, white, and all colors.
Sorry Professor, but people like you make people racist..
If he really wants to speak on b******t like this then he needs to go back to school and learn American History since he evidently didnt learn it the first time. The first slaves were white , Irish, chinese, and American native Indians. The Indians were persecuted and slain for their lands and moved on to reservations for the government to starve them and pass diseases to them. Do see us complaining and accusing people for being racist? No you don’t. Do here us saying we are entitled to certain things because our ancestors were done wrong? No you don’t. So until he learns his history he needs to shut the hell up.
You are correct, Ronny.
I grew up on a farm in pa ! In the 50. 60. !not till I got drafted in 69 ! I never knew that racist were around ! When in training the black guys from the big city were nuts !the were always blamed us for there problems! Why I did not know ! I think they were never raised in strong spirits or some thing ! It’s not a racist thing! It’s a lie ! It’s lack of truth that people make up ! I was very poor ! I am Italian! So where is white privileged fall in !!?
I am not racist I have never been racist I will never be racist, I am a free born American l am an educated American I grew up in the North and hated watching racism in the South in the 60s. The mantra that is being shoveled today is nothing new and it is as false a narrative today as it was in my youth. I am A Christian who understands that the ideology of today will die as it did in the 60s. Hang on people the hate mongers will leave if you don’t give them audience to be spewing their junk!
To note correctly, the professors on most college campuses are shaping the young minds that are coming up. Pay attention students think critically for yourself, you are who the liberals are targeting! Give them a taste of their own nonsense by proving them wrong. Let them know as I did that I can think for myself! The only thing these professors need to teach is the content of their chosen field, Not their world view. Another words professors shut up and teach content not your own twisted thoughts!
I have often wondered about why Whites are racists, and no other race is……
Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans.. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You call me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey,’ ‘Caveman’… And that’s OK.
You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Ma’uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP.
You have BET….
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we’d be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we’d be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to ‘advance’ OUR lives, we’d be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships… You know we’d be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US .
Yet if there were ‘White colleges’, that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you’re not afraid to announce it.
But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
I am proud…… But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??
There is nothing improper about this.
Let’s see which of you are proud enough to send it on.
I sadly don’t think many will.
That’s why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country.
We won’t stand up for ourselves!
BE PROUD TO BE WHITE! And No, I am Not Racist!
It’s not a crime YET…. But getting very close!
