Brown Course Blames "Whitelash" For Trump's Election Win (Not Russia?)

Authored by Anthony Gockowski and Toni Airaksinen via Campus Reform,

Brown University will soon offer a course on the “whitelash” that supposedly caused President Trump’s election as part of its pre-college program for high-schoolers.

The course, titled “Resistance to Racial Equality from the Civil War to Donald Trump,” will examine the racial elements of Trump’s election, which it calls a “whitelash,” meaning a “staunch white resistance to, and even revenge against, racial equity.”

It is one of hundreds of courses offered during Brown’s annual “Summer@Brown” program, which offers prospective students a three-week on-campus experience at the price of $5,966 for residential students and $4,214 for commuters.

“Without the pressure of formal grades and credit, students can immerse themselves in subjects they choose and experience the satisfying challenges of college-level academics,” a description for the program explains, inviting students to choose from a selection of at least 220 courses, including one on “fake news,” and another on Critical Race Theory.

“After the two-term presidency of Barack Obama--the first black man to hold that office--was the election of Donald Trump a surprise? To many people, it was,” the course description begins, saying that for those who “believe in this story of consistent racial progress, Trump’s successful campaign, fueled as it was by white nationalist supporters, was very surprising.” 

The description goes on to suggest, however, that Trump’s presidency “is not an outlier, but rather emblematic of a deeply rooted tradition of American politics,” noting that “some observers have called this brand of American politics ‘whitelash.’” 

“In this course, students will explore the history of white resistance to racial equity in the U.S., from the end of the Civil War to the hotly contested debates over Civil War monuments in our contemporary moment,” the course description adds. “As we study the struggle for black freedom in this country in the long twentieth-century and into the present day, we will encounter and discuss the logics and tactics of white opposition.” 

As a result of taking the course, students will develop “a toolkit of critical methods of inquiry and communication that is readily transferable to their everyday lives and future collegiate careers.”

“By the close of the course, students will be fluent in the major terms, concepts, and debates in the U.S. history of race relations,” the description continues, asking interested students to “bring a spirit of generous curiosity, good faith, and mutual respect in order to co-create an inclusive space of shared inquiry.” 

Campus Reform reached out to the university for comment on the matter, but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Democracy will be the downfall of the white civilization in the US and Europe- authoritarian leadership is its only salvation. What possible benefit to you and me can come from a NY real estate shyster like Trump playing "Let's Make a Deal" with Bolsheviks like Pelosi and Schumer on something as immediately pressing  as immigration.

I met these kind of Graduates in the 1980s... they have no listening skills, they don't have time to get to know your position, they have all the answers, in short: They are Positional, they are not Flexible, they lack ability to understand, they want to quickly judge & Condemn & Persecute... it is kind of a Network thing or a Clique thing or a Cartel thing... "Group Think".

It is hilarious isn't it?

"which offers prospective students a three-week on-campus experience at the price of $5,966 for residential students and $4,214 for commuters.

“Without the pressure of formal grades and credit, students can immerse themselves in subjects they choose and experience the satisfying challenges of college-level academics,” "

They are only auditing the class for that price. No credit, nothing toward graduating with a degree; just 6K shoved into Brown's jelly-roll encapsulated and cellulite engulfed thong.

This is why student loans should never be discharged through bankruptcy unless their "brain" can be repossessed at the same time.

They forgot to mention to the prospective students that every Brown University graduate will have had at least 5 homosexual acts performed on them, and/or until they "enjoyed" the experience.

Race AIN'T IMPORTANT...The character of the individual as seen in their actions is important.

You are born into your race.  And sex.... and country.....

The ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU ACCEPT IT and get working on DOING SOMETHING GREAT....usually something that improves this world....and not necessarily you.

The more you focus on "me" the more screwed up you become.....because really, you are here only for a short time.

Your importance doesn't lie "within" you.....it lies "outside" you.

racial equality? is that kind of like when someone gets a job, a loan, or school admission based on their qualifications and not because federal government says you should have X number of people who look like them? yeah, i'm all for racial equality like that, sign me up!

Rhode Island was very big in the slave trade and making rum they shipped to Africa. My hunch is most of the Newport mansions were from that business. Seems reparations are needed now give up those mansions and turn them into student housing for the disadvantaged! Except the one that Jay Leno is living in now... </s>

President Obama illustrates the abject failure of affirmative action. When people are given things that they did not earn they have the thing of course they don't know how to maintain it. Look at Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia....

Kidbuck was once on a committee to interview and hire an automechanic. The first applicant happened to be black. Everyone knew we had to hire him or get sued for discrimination. He turned out to be a poor worker with few of the skills he bragged about in the interview and his attendence was minimal. Still no one dared fire him. Fortunately he quit on his own in less than a year.

blacklash: meaning a “staunch inability to understand that skin color has nothing to do with racial equity."

Gee, it's fun to make up (like I just did) new emotionally charged words for young people to study in classrooms.

Too bad it seems to have taken the place of teaching young people Critical Thinking And Analysis skills that would REALLY help them in the REAL world.

This madness with end up with lot of tears, because the society is disintegrating and it won´t be snowflakes, who seize the power in that chaos.

whitelash, womenlash, flyoverlash, globalistlash.. ahhh lets get succinct

 

Hillary was a wild-eyed, stumbling, fainting, ridiculous cunt who should have lost to a marxist in the primary...  we all knew her Clinton Crime Family background and the media and prosecutors not investigating the Clinton Crime Family doesn't change those facts.   And she ran a horrible campaign.   I guess this is what happens when you forget to visit Wisconsin and attend Rap concerts instead.   The most interesting thing is the assumption that those black votes were hers as if she owned them, and they didn't turn out, nor did the vagina vote, nor the youth, nor the moderates and independents.. she lost PA, FL, OHIO.. what a ridiculous cunt!

http://charlesortel.com/

And a thief she remains, and you want to know the most crazy part?  Everybody knew she had high negatives and when forced to choose between the witch and the devil.. they voted against Hillary!  Let that sink in, it was a VOTE AGAINST HILLARY!  ANYBODY BUT HILLARY and all the fucking geniuses said: sure she has high negatives, people know the Clintons are shaddy.. lets run them in a cooked debate and primary..

Still laugh at the shock and disbelief of the media when the results came in, Hillary not accepting defeat, her wandering around drunk in the woods, and then swallowing a turd at Trump's inauguration..

Karma for stealing from hungry haitians

What is the recourse for someone that has suffered through a lifetime "Affirmative Action Privilege" (AAP) instigated by the previous generation?

Where is my restitution? I will not rest until my family is made whole.

They arrived on these shores in the 1900s and have been discriminated against since arrival because of Affirmative Action Privilege (AAP) waged against them.

They got this bullshit from Van Jones. He was dumb enough to call the 2016 election result a "whitewash" because a white person won after Obammy. But Van, all of the candidates in 2016 were white.

Resistance to racial equality. The people who are mainly resistant to that are blacks who continually play the race card as well as the white guilt leftists who constantly call everyone a racist. Basically, people like the morons behind this idiotic course.

Most people who don't give a shit about race and will call out a black person if warranted are fine with racial equality.

It's also nice to know that pumpkin being elected means racial inequality. Somehow. I am waiting for the libtards to tell me what exactly he is negatively doing to minorities. 

I am so sick of these people.

'Racial equality'. Like it's a equity mortgage of some sort. Sorry, it don't work like that.

No amount of work can turn a pebble into a wine grape. 4 decades of Affirmative Action to the tune of scores of billions of dollars has yet to turn a 70 or 85 Watt bulb into a 100 Watt one.

,… the order of rank, merely formulates the highest law of life; the separation of the three types is necessary for the preservation of society, to make possible the higher and the highest types. The inequality of rights is the first condition for the existence of any rights at all.

 

A right is a privilege. A man's state of being is his privilege. Let us not underestimate the privileges of the mediocre. As one climbs higher, life becomes ever harder; the coldness increases, responsibility increases.

 

The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of "equal" rights.

Well if it comes down to it the communists will just be wanting to give everything back to whites like in Zimbabwe. But I think what makes sense is if they go through with confiscating people's land, and then decide to give it back, they can just keep it because I won't want it back until after they all starve to death.
