Portland State course aims to ‘make whiteness strange’
According to Portland State University Professor’s Rachel Sanders’ “White Privilege” course, “whiteness” must be dismantled if racial justice will ever be achieved.
The course description states that “whiteness is the lynchpin of structures of racial meaning and racial inequality in the United States” and claims that “to preserve whiteness is to preserve racial injustice.”
“To preserve whiteness is to preserve racial injustice.”
Students taking the course will “endeavor to make whiteness strange.” In order to make whiteness strange, the description says students must “interrogate whiteness as an unstable legal, political, social, and cultural construction.”
The course readings and concepts are drawn, in part, from the field of “critical race theory.” According to Harvard University, critical race theory “combine[s] progressive political struggles for racial justice with critiques of the conventional legal and scholarly norms which are themselves viewed as part of the illegitimate hierarchies that need to be changed.”

As long as it’s not mandatory I don’t care how idiots spend their money, their parents’ money or their loans.
Considering how drastically whites are outnumbered in the world, and considering how white males are even further outnumbered, and considering how white male Christians are still further outnumbered – our drastically minority numbers surely do seem to scare the living crap out of the PC gang!
(And that’s without even going to conservative and gun owner – which seem to further exacerbate the paranoia and hatreds of the Left.)
