Are You Supporting White Supremacy? |
2018-01-15 |
A fat lesbian speaks out about a false narrative [InsideHigherEducation] For faculty of color, women and particularly those scholars who are outspoken about dismantling the master narratives of white supremacy within our colleges and universities, playing by the rules is neither an option nor an obligation. It is, in fact, a terrible burden. A burden to allow an oppressive system breathing down our necks, while we continue to work within institutions that treat us as mere bodies representing “diversity” or what Patti Duncan has called “Hot Commodities, Cheap Labor: Women of Color in the Academy.” My own cathartic moment arrived when I was able to write about my experience and those of other postcolonial scholars in my book, The Postcolonial Citizen: The Intellectual Migrant, in a chapter titled “Threatening Bodies, Dangerous Knowledge, Legal Interventions.” It was 2001. The problem of exclusions and a lack of “due process” experienced by various postcolonial scholars were widespread. |

#15 By Prog definition all whites are inherently racist and no non-whites can possibly be racist. |

#9 How is it they don't leave to a less white supremacist nation? Certainly there must be some kind of underground railroad to assist them from being captured at the border and returned to their high paying tenured position? |

#8 I support humans, they come in many colors. If you identify as something else, then you are declaring yourselve non-human and therefore have zero rights and should be vivisected at a handy military base with bad video being used to film it. |

#6 Wasn't the guy who most people are off work celebrating his birthday today (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) more or less in favor of a meritocracy? You know, where the color of one's skin did not matter? |

#4 You work in a position of power in a predominantly white FIFY. You were all for 'black majority rule' for South Africa in the 60s-70s, but against white majority (80%+*) rule in America today. *Hispanic is a ethnic not race connotation. |

#3 ...postcolonialscholars At least if someone invests the cream of their life attaining specialized post-graduate degrees in the Burgundian Music it may be (mostly) pointless but still sounds nice. But these people are pointless and destructive. |

#1 “Hot Commodities, Cheap Labor: Women of Color in the Academy.” Did it ever occur to you darling that you are a thief - you took the position, due to "affirmative action" & "collegiality", which otherwise would go to somebody 10 times more qualified than you are? |
