It seems like everything is racist these days, especially when it comes to American college campuses.
In the era of microaggressions, trigger warnings, and “safe spaces,” professors, in their efforts to purge the world of racism, have labeled just about everything under the sun – and moon – as such.
Here are a few of the more off-the-wall ones from 2017:
A math education professor at the University of Illinois argues that white privilege is bolstered by teaching mathematics.
“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as whiteness,” Rochelle Gutierrez wrote. “Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as white.”
Did you know that “farmers’ markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized”?
According to two geology professors at San Diego State University, farmers’ markets are contributing to “environmental gentrification.” Read more here…
A black professor in a New York Times op-ed appeared to rule out friendship with white kids for his children because of President Trump.
“Much sooner than I thought I would, I will have to discuss with my boys whether they can truly be friends with white people,” Ekow N. Yankah, a professor of law at Cardozo wrote.
In an essay for The Atlantic, a university professor argued that the total solar eclipse was racist because of its path.
“It has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, and along most of its path, there live almost no black people,” wrote Alice Ristroph of Brooklyn Law School. “Presumably, this is not explained by the implicit bias of the solar system.” Read more here…
The Bible
A professor of science and religion at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts argued that “much contemporary racism is rooted in Christianity.”
“The single greatest humiliation of American Christianity is its long endorsement of slavery and even longer endorsement of racism — a dark cloud still clearly visible at eleven o’clock on Sunday mornings,” Karl Giberson wrote in a Huffington Post op-ed, updated in December.
Pollution
An environmental engineering professor at the University of Washington argued that “race matters more than income” when it comes to being affected by pollution.
“It’s race that is driving this, not income,” Julian Marshall said of the study. “Urban planners tell us that cities are still really segregated -- people live close to people who look like them. We are seeing the outcome of that.”
College football
Erin C. Tarver, an assistant professor of philosophy at Oxford College of Emory University, argues that college football is racist in a New York Times op-ed.
“Given that the ritual of Saturday football now involves the spectacular display of majority- black teams playing a dangerous, violent game for the pleasure of a majority-white fan base — and with overwhelmingly white coaching staffs, administrative structures and media companies — the idea that racism has evaporated from it is dubious,” Tarver wrote.
A Boston University theater professor claims the Christmas carol has “racist origins.”
“For most of its singers and listeners, [“Jingle Bells”] may have eluded its racialized past and taken its place in the seemingly unproblematic romanticization of a normal ‘white’ Christmas, attention to the circumstances of its performance history enables reflection on its problematic role in the construction of blackness and whiteness in the United States,” Kyna Hamill wrote in her research paper.

White nuclear family
A sociology professor at the City University of New York argued in a thread on Twitter “that the white-nuclear family is one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy.”
Jessie Daniels, a self-described race expert, wrote, “I mean, if you’re a white person who says they’re engaged in dismantling white supremacy but…you’re forming a white family [and] reproducing white children that ‘you want the best for’ - how is that helping [and] not part of the problem?” Read more here…
FROM ANTI-TRUMP PROFESSORS’ MOUTHS, 2017’S MOST EXPLOSIVE QUOTES
Expecting people to show up on time
Clemson University’s diversity training materials for professors indicated that asking someone to show up on time is racist.
Instead, the “inclusive” thing, according to the diversity materials, is to “recognize cultural differences that may impact the meeting and adjust accordingly.”

Trump supporters
Perhaps the least surprising of all because several professors have labeled Trump racist, but a Clemson University assistant professor took it a step further.
“All Trump supporters, nay, all Republicans, are racist scum,” Bart Knijnenburg posted on his Facebook page. “I admire anyone who stands up to white supremacy. Violent or non-violent. This needs to stop, by any means necessary. #PunchNazis.”

In 25 years the landscape of America will be so fundamentally changed it will be unrecognizable to us. Not all change is bad, but this sort of radical thinking entering into the mainstream is horrifying to me.

jcblass -Insanity. The sad part about this is; in the very near future these same kids who have been indoctrinated into this slanted and perverse worldview will be the nation's leadership. They will own business, employ people, take over the ranks of the military, teach your kids and become your local police officer etc.In 25 years the landscape of America will be so fundamentally changed it will be unrecognizable to us.

I disagree. The Supreme Court of The United States will prevent the retards from taking over.
Neil Gorsuch was the first step.
MAGA.
