Professor in NY Times: White Americans should ‘admit to the racist poison inside you’
Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a letter to white Americans calling them racist. Make no mistake, if you are white, you are racist.
As theBlaze pointed out, black professor George Yancy called on white America to examine the “racist poison that is inside of you.” And Yancy means all white America.
The letter was published in the New York Times on Christmas Eve titled “Dear White America.” Despite the sweeping generalization against an entire race, Yancy begins by claiming “I want you to listen with love.”
Yancy begins his letter by checking his own privilege and conducting his self-shaming in how he is a sexist. And these don’t even include active examples. As Yancy writes:
As a sexist, I have failed women. I have failed to speak out when I should have. I have failed to engage critically and extensively their pain and suffering in my writing. I have failed to transcend the rigidity of gender roles in my own life. I have failed to challenge those poisonous assumptions that women are “inferior” to men or to speak out loudly in the company of male philosophers who believe that feminist philosophy is just a nonphilosophical fad. I have been complicit with, and have allowed myself to be seduced by, a country that makes billions of dollars from sexually objectifying women, from pornography, commercials, video games, to Hollywood movies. I am not innocent.
When it comes to white America, Yancy continues with the same vein. This is something that you can’t hide from. And nobody “will get… off the proverbial hook.” If you’re white, you’re racist:
If you are white, and you are reading this letter, I ask that you don’t run to seek shelter from your own racism. Don’t hide from your responsibility. Rather, begin, right now, to practice being vulnerable. Being neither a “good” white person nor a liberal white person will get you off the proverbial hook.

I see a man consumed with hate. I really don’t care about what some sniveling little college prof thinks. Does he really think that whites get up every morning wondering how to stick it to minorities? Got news for him, we have better things to do. He can take his useless lifetime work in the philosophy of race, critical whiteness studies and the philosophy of the black experience and stuff it because it has allowed him to be a consummate jerk and frame it as racist victimhood. Besides, that is the obsession of the left; to keep finding ways to stick it to whites instead of looking at how minorities are selling themselves short by blaming their lack of success on others holding them back. But, hey, when there is no intellect, skills or real knowledge, the playing the race card is the only path to success. I pity his students, since there will be nothing of value in the marketplace. No company wants to hire a whiny, racial lawsuit waiting to happen, diversity major.
And I speak to the most racist group in America. It is time that all of you African Americans face the racist hatred that consumes you. Whereas white Americans have begun to face their problem, black Americans have not.
College Insurrection should not waste space publishing what some poorly educated person who has a low IQ thinks about anything. This guy would be teaching in some black grade school were it not for diversity. He is the best example of diversity equals incompetence.
Isn’t it racist to fling accusations against another group of people based solely on that group’s melanin content? This prof would fit right in in North Korea, where they practice self-criticism and accuse their comrades of party disloyalty and other thought crimes all day long ~
Talk about indulging yourself in self-pity…
So, he’s a sinner by liberal standards but still not in the lowest caste of progressotopia because of his skin color. Got it.

I didn’t read the article, but, let me guess: he is not teaching anything important; he is a “studies” professor.
