The University of Wisconsin is offering a course titled “The
Problem of Whiteness” at its Madison campus. The class, part of the “Critical
Whiteness Studies” curriculum, will cover institutional racism and “what it means to be #woke.” The
course will also attempt to offer solutions to the “problem of whiteness.” The
class description reads: “We will ask what an ethical white identity
entails…and consider the journal Race Traitor’s motto, ‘treason to whiteness is
loyalty to humanity.’”
WTF? I
mean, what the effing eff?!
Calling
Race Traitor- whatever it is- a journal seems a little too legitimizing
to me, rather like calling Rachel Maddow a journalist,
or Amy Schumer a comedienne. And the motto, “treason to whiteness is loyalty to
humanity,” is akin to stating, “betrayal of logic is fealty to reason.”
The
class is being taught by Damon Sajnani, a radical assistant professor at the
school, who believes America is a terrorist state. Ironically, “Professor D,” as
he is known, hails from the Great White North (Canada), and is white himself.
It must be admitted, however, that he is a bit of a renaissance man, as, aside
from his professorial duties, he is a rapper and also runs “Justus League
Records,” a group calling for revolution. Their website brands them as “The
Dope Poet Society,” and as “Hiphop
Revolutionaries in the struggle to save the world.” You had me at “Hiphop Revolutionaries.”
Professor
D and the University of Wisconsin (and most universities in the country now)
are certainly themselves textbook examples of institutional racism, and of
“what it means to be #ajoke,” albeit a very bad- and dangerous- one.

The
UW-Madison has also recently become the latest institute of higher learning to
install free feminine hygiene products in some of the men’s bathrooms on campus.
They’re on a roll! Higher education at its finest!
