Ever wonder what university professors get paid to pass off as a class these days? Look no further than The University of Wisconsin where “The Problem of Whiteness” will be taught this spring. In fact, it’s a Level 4 course!

The course will be taught by Damon Sajnani, an assistant professor in UW-Madison’s African Cultural Studies. From the course description:

“Critical Whiteness Studies aims to understand how whiteness is socially constructed and experienced in order to help dismantle white supremacy. Our class will break away from the standard US-centric frame, and consider how whiteness is constructed globally, with particular attention to paradigmatic cases like South Africa. Whereas disciplines such as Latino/a, African, and Asian American studies focus on race as experienced by non-whites, whiteness studies considers how race is experienced by white people. It explores how they consciously and unconsciously perpetuate institutional racism and how this not only devastates communities of color but also perpetuates the oppression of most white folks along the lines of class and gender. In this class, we will ask what an ethical white identity entails, what it means to be #woke, and consider the journal Race Traitor’s motto, “treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.”

Who is Damon Sajnani? You’ll get a kick out of this (He calls himself “ProfessorD” in Twitterland):

Hey @LizWFB I like ur article but there r 2 errors: u wrote "the" twice in front of Dope & confused JLR the label with DPS the group. 🙂

Soooo deep is the study of “whiteness”. We can cite and quote literary texts all day ad nauseum but apparently, if you’re a college professor, you hold the privilege to convert your to “ur”, you to “u” and are to “r”. As a member of the intellectual community, I guess one can exercise the privilege of opting out of using basic grammar in order to claim to “identify” with the culture he claims to know so much about. Insulting much?

Assimilate much? Remember this?

But wait…there’s more, according to the Washington Free Beacon:

Sajnani changed his profile picture on Facebook to Fidel Castro the day after the Communist dictator’s death. The picture reads, “Keep it classy mi gente. Rest in freedom to the REAL most interesting man in the world.”

He also posted a picture of a 1950s-esque American family serving turkey for Thanksgiving with the words “Genocide, terrorism, small pox, colonization, torture” written in blood over it.

This is not the first instance of a class such as this surfaced on a college campus. Arizona State University unveiled a “U.S. Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness” course back in 2015.

The true problem of “whiteness”? You want to know what it is? It’s white college kids going around and running their mouths as being “sooooooo much more privileged” than their black counterparts without attempting to “understand” their classmates’ backgrounds. They “take classes” and read texts and listen to these professors spout off rather than experiencing life and talking to people or interacting with them. It’s white snowflakes attempting to “educate” their elders on this concept and bringing racism to the forefront when it was never even an issue or a consideration because their elders are not racist. It’s shrieking and throwing out words like “racist” and causing trouble amongst the innocent. It’s sitting in their little bubbles and lecturing on “inclusion” and claiming to be down-in-the-dumps about their “privilege” while they still enjoy it. These kids are not going into the inner cities and actually helping young African-American children believe they have hopes and dreams that can be realized. And if they did, they would be lectured for doing so by some members of the black community for acting like the privileged spoiled little brats that they are. It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. So there they sit, atop their laurels doing 20-page papers and hanging out with all of their white friends and when finished, taking a “well-deserved” spring break in Cabo San Lucas.

I’d like to see some classes on the university rosters. personally. How about “The Problem with Being a Spoiled Snowflake”? or “Clueless in Suburbia: The Plague of the White Cupcake”. The irony about all of this? Well, I did a little digging. Check out which Doctoral student The University of Wisconsin featured on their website:

Current graduate students in the Department of African Cutural (note: bad spelling on their end) Studies:

Adeola Agoke
Salaah Algabli
Astou Fall Gueye
Said Hannouchi
Andrea Hobright
Pamela Kimario
Serah Kivuti
Sami Lamine
David Lukhachi
Kathryn Mara
Ahmad Muezzin
Angeline Petersen
Nandipa Sipengane
Olusegun Soetan
Tarek Ziadna

So, who did they choose from the list, you ask?

The white girl. Because nothing says “privilege” like choosing to spotlight the token white Doctoral student when the university could have easily chosen from perhaps a group of African-Americans. Do you see what they did there? The university powers-that-be could have chosen from the list above who they wanted to represent their department and they chose the white girl. I think they need to check their “privilege”, don’t you? Ahh, but alas…in six years time, she too will be able to talk in depth about oppression thanks to classes from the one, the only…”ProfessorD”!

Save “ur-selves” some money, kiddos (and parents). Tell UR kids to take an English class and learn grammar. It will help them in the real world sooooo much more.
