As a white assistant professor of mostly white graduate students who will become higher education leaders, I work to dismantle whiteness in my curriculum, assignments and pedagogy. I make meaning of my own white identity through my commitment to reflexivity as a constant activity. Equally salient are my identities as a queer, able-bodied, cisgender woman, who grew up working class in the rural Midwestern United States. This manuscript explores the ways my identities, experiences and teaching paradigm anchor my commitment to the work of deconstructing whiteness.
— Jodi L. Linley, University of Iowa

While the social media trend of #WhiteShaming has actually been around for a few years now, all campus whites are on notice. But who in their right mind would really want anyone but whites running American society?

Look at EVERY city and congressional district run by blacks and you’ll see a riot-prone area overrun by high crime, failed schools, above-average teen and out-of-wedlock birth rates, high unemployment, and a general disinterest by too many to improve oneself because that would be considered acting “white”. Diversity of political thought and association is frowned upon, thus the same Democrat politicians who do little for their district get rich, reelected, and their constituents remain with little hope of advancement.

Abortion in the black community is tragically high and that gets back to today’s version of acceptable morality and the left’s eagerness to keep the population under numerical control.

Look at EVERY city and congressional district run by Latinos and overrun by illegal Mexicans and you’ll see an area that has no interest in assimilation into the rest of American society, in fact American society is expected to conform to them. As written here before, Latinos are the only group in the United States where their children aren’t immediately immersed in English speaking classes, as if they are not as able to grasp the concept of learning a language unlike almost every other immigrant who comes to America. With that, there’s an shadow economy that relies on the depressed wages of unskilled workers who undercut all other jobseekers in that community and to speak out against the illegals gets you called the name of the day.

College educations are becoming more worthless by the day as more ethnocentric classes are becoming mandatory despite their lack of value in the real world.

The PhD program in African Diaspora Studies is the first such program of its kind, training students to theorize the African Diaspora and racialized blackness across history, social institutions, culture and geographical location. We recruit the most promising and disciplinary-diverse young scholars and specifically educate them to direct the future research trajectory of African Diaspora Studies as a field. Emphasizing a rigorous interdisciplinarity, our program is particularly strong in African American and sub-Saharan African history; cultural studies (with emphases in literature, performance, visual culture, and creative practice); women’s, gender & sexuality studies; education; sociology; and African languages. Since the inception of the Program in 1997, we have had an excellent placement rate. Our graduates hold postdoctoral and tenure-track positions at both large research universities and small liberal arts colleges in the US and abroad.
— UC Berkeley, Department of African American Studies

Exactly how does one market him or herself to an employer with a Ph.D. in “African Diaspora Studies”, aside from threatening them if they don’t give you a job in their colonized, racist, white-privileged company NOT a college (afraid of being protested by #BLM activists for not hiring them) to further spread the nonsense?

Aside from pockets like Dearborn, Michigan, Muslims have no enclave of size in the United States where Sharia Law and no-go zones are prevalent… yet. There’s not a lot of assimilation going on aside from their expectations-turned-demands that Americans assimilate to them.

As evil as a growing number of liberals would have you believe white people are with all their privilege, America would be a hellhole resembling many around the world today. Given the current crop in the majority of certain ethnic groups, if they were in charge of the nation, there would be no Facebook Live or WorldHipHop videos because there would be no one to create the Internet, despite the genius we’re told we were back in the home country.

We built pyramids before Donald Trump even knew what architecture was…. We taught philosophy and astrology [sic] and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it…. Do some cracker come and tell you, ‘Well my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,’ you better hold your pocket. That ain’t nothing to be proud of, that means their forefathers was crooks.
— Al Sharpton, Kean College

While there are always notable exceptions, there are few minorities in the United States that can compete with the Zuckerbergs or Musks and those that do have significant money aren’t helping improve their communities but seem more interested in coming off as being accepted within that community. Minorities that demand more from their people are routinely vilified into silence, being called uppity sellouts, wannabe whites, and worse.

Barack Obama had the perfect opportunity to set an example and standard expected of minorities, in particular. At the end of the day, the blamed others, danced, sang Al Green, bragged about his brackets, shot hoops and became the stereotype we were all assured he was so far above.

But it’s hard to imagine much outside of the negatives if Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Luis Guiterrez, Ana Navarro, Van Jones, George Takai, Perez Hilton, any number of #BlackLivesMatter or La Raza activists were running the United States of America, but without that historical white boost, this country wouldn’t be anywhere near where it is today; technology-wise or socially.

The attempt to shame white people into a fetal position in the corner will not result in a more inclusive society. If anything, it will turn the clock back to a place no one really wants to be.

For some, nepotism and/or sexual favoritism didn’t hurt either.

How dare anyone challenge the credibility of the professional media! In fact, not only do they enjoy 1st Amendment protection from political retribution, but it appears the media also believes they have a 1st Amendment right to be heard and believed by the public.

I think it’s dangerous. We’re in a dangerous phase right now, where too many millions of Americans aren’t listening at all to what the press tells them.
— Megyn Kelly

This not a laughing matter. I’m sorry, delegitimizing the press is unAmerican. Press bashing may feel good to folks but when it’s done by people in power, it’s corrosive. Take off your partisan hats for a second.
— Chuck Todd

How the hypocritical arrogance oozes….

While there are many thousands of real journalists who received legitimate training (don’t rule out the well-documented liberal indoctrination in academia), it appears political science majors are enough for those who are raking in big bucks to steer partisan narratives, while having little-to-no formal journalism training, worked for politicians, or had the right door-opening relative.

Seeing how most the college journalism/communications classes are dominated by opinionated, liberal teachers 20-to-one, whenever you view a “panel” discussion on any of these news networks, remember you are really witnessing a pro-Democrat political science strategy session, NOT an honest journalistic dissection of any given event.

There are notables not on this list because they actually majored in journalism. We also used Wikipedia as a consistent reference because many of the news entities (for some strange reason) decline to include education backgrounds in the posted bios of their on-air celebrities.

And this is just on the broadcast level. There are probably many others on the print/blog side, that have earned the right to be called journalists, sitting right next to those who do not and it’s no wonder why we get “news” and narratives we can’t trust.

BTW: the majority of black on-air personalities today actually had to complete classes/majors in the disciplines of the journalism profession BEFORE they got jobs in the business; a prerequisite many of their white counterparts have successfully bypassed.

No explanation, no apologies for their word not being worth a damn; just the assurance that in four years, they’ll be back again sharing their political brilliance and hoping just ONE person will say they’ll be missed if they issue another empty threat that will deny us of their all-important presence.

2016

Below is the 2016 edition of the privileged waiting for someone, ANYONE, to publicly beg them not to flee the country if their candidate didn’t win the presidential election.

 

 
We wondered about a class action lawsuit only because it could be argued the thought of some of these “entertainers” fleeing was juicy incentive for many hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans to get out and vote for Donald Trump. It could’ve been considered fraud, at the least, as they reneged (again).

So when’s the flight? Celebrities who pledged to leave the U.S. if the Donald won including Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer and Miley Cyrus stay silent as Trump supporters mock on Twitter

Many of these narcissistic celebrities assumed the places they announced (Italy, other planets, “hell”) they’d move to actually wanted them and all the baggage self-important divas brought. Of course, when the election was over and they didn’t get the result they wanted, they reverted back to their traditional response: they were “joking” or some have just gone into hiding hoping we’ll not hold them to their word, again .

Just kidding: Stars change their minds after vowing to leave country if Donald Trump wins
Amy Schumer hits out at stars for threatening to LEAVE America now Donald Trump is President after Spain ‘joke’

I’m not leaving the country I was born and raised in.
— Whoopi Goldberg

Sure, whatever.

Some celebs have lashed out at a general public that didn’t drop everything and do as they were instructed: vote for Hillary.

Most of the Hollywood elite don’t have a single nice thing to say about any Republican or their voters… except when THEY want us to pay to see their movies television show, download their “music”, buy a product they’re pimping, or bow to a candidate their wisdom dictates we must support.

Then they “act” all nice.

When they don’t get what they demanded, it will be back to Republican/Trump-bashing at the first opportunity.

A couple of those publicly (and proudly) decided to pass on performing for the incoming President of the United States.

We’re not advocating a boycott of anything these “celebrities” participate in or produce, but here’s one thing to think about: these people WILL take any opportunity to use a vehicle to bash Republican and/or conservative ideals during one of their performances or productions and more times than not, that message will be aimed at your politically-naive, easily-awed kids.

Just something to consider.

2020

They’re at it again, assuming there are millions of people who will be all put out if they REALLY leave this time, while some arrogantly believe they speak for others….

John Legend says that Americans ‘will have to start thinking about going somewhere else’ if Trump is reelected
Rock star Tommy Lee says he’ll leave the country if Trump is reelected
Bruce Springsteen Says He’ll Leave the Country if Trump is Reelected

How arrogant these people are that wherever they decide to flee to, the people there actually want them. Of course, should Donald Trump win reelection, you won’t hear shit from these people when they don’t leave.

It’ll be like their words never had any meaning (or weight) at all.

NBA investigates alleged racist remarks by Clippers’ Donald Sterling

Not excusing what he said at all, but “girlfriend” Vanessa Stiviano was clearly keeping the conversation going while she knowingly recorded it for future use.

I wonder what could have set this off…?

Just speculating here, but it sounds like a young woman who needed some move-on money and look who she hashtagged…

#TimeMagazine #LATimes #LosAngelesTimes #NYTimes #NewYorkTimes #TheWallStreetJournal #TheNewYorker #NewsWeekly #TheNewYorkBestSellers #Crown #Publishers #Publishing #RandomHouse #CNN #ABC #NBC #CBS

Hmm… not Fox News?

And suspiciously, both V. and an acquaintance she mentioned have put their Instagram accounts on “private”.

And as the loony left is trying to tie Donald Sterling to the Republican Party in the Twitterverse, know he’s donated just $6,000, with no activity since the early 2000s. Sterling supported Gray Davis (D) as well as Bill Bradley (D), and since when would the NAACP take money from someone in the GOP?

V. Stiviano is clearly a product of our fame-for-no-reason culture and using “looks” to get rich is a tried-and-true tradition in Hollywood. She will probably have a very hard time finding a rich man now, then again considering her skimpy attire, it’ll be easy to see if she’s wearing a wire.

As for Donald Sterling, stay away from loose women and black people. All these former players and rap artists Tweeting their outrage: I’d love to hear what we’d come up with if we could secretly tape a bunch of black liberals in a room and savor the racism!

Oh, and “TMZ Sports”…?

Puh-leez.

UPDATE

Wife Of Clippers Owner Sues Woman She Alleges Had Affair With Her Husband
Sounds like Vanessa Stiviano needs a $1.8 million cash infusion, quick.

We do know that the woman on the tape — who we believe released it to TMZ — is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family, alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would “get even”.
— Statement from Donald T. Sterling and the Clippers organization to TMZ Sports

Rochelle Sterling further claims Stiviano had Donald gave her a $1.8M duplex (8837 W 4th St, Los Angeles, CA 90048), $240K in cash, two Bentleys, a Range Rover and a Ferrari. All cars were worth about $500K.

Could THIS be why the conservation was recorded and released to TMZ and how long before we see Gloria Allred out front on this?

UPDATE

If you listen to parts of the deceptively-recorded audio of Vanessa Stiviano and Donald Sterling, he’s clearly concerned about the pic she posted with Magic Johnson, NOT because he’s black, but because of the “call” he’d get from the “culture” that has problems with blacks.

I think it would be a given to ask Sterling WHO calls him and voices their Beverly Hills-Bel Air-Hollywood snobbish opinions about black people.

Of course, that’s NOT where the media will go because it could be very embarrassing to the Hollywood left for us to know just what they really think about blacks, especially those now piling on in group-outrage.
