University’s “White Racism” Course Sounds Like “Blame the White Guy 101”
Students at Florida Gulf Coast University can take all sorts of enriching classes — from gender studies to social justice.
But a class on white racism is causing all sorts of campus chaos and charges of reverse racism.
The university calls it “White Racism.” But I call it, “Blame the White Man 101.”
The class, taught by Professor Ted Thornhill, “will interrogate the concept of race; examine the racist ideologies, laws, policies, and practices that have operated for hundreds of years to maintain white racial domination over those racialized as non-white.”
The New York Daily News reports student will also have the opportunity “to discuss ways to challenge white racism and white supremacy toward promoting an anti-racist society where whiteness is not tied to greater life chances.”
“There are a lot of people that … don’t even know that white privilege exists anymore, and it does,” student Zack De Armon told the News-Press.
