The Political Hat

     A key component of “racial justice” seems to declare one of the most horrendous acts in society to be a paragon of justice, specifically the genocide of White people.   A professor at the University of California at Berkeley, explicitly said “To abolish whiteness is to abolish white people.”

UC Berkeley education professor Zeus Leonardo: "To abolish whiteness is to abolish white people. That's very uncomfortable perhaps, but it asks about our definitions of what race is and what racial justice might mean."

     If one were charitable, one might argue that when he goes on to say “but it asks about our definitions of what race is and what racial justice might mean”, that he was only referring to the “social construct” of the “White race”, and not actually killing everyone who is White. But then, considering how Critical Race Theory talks about “anti-genocide” as a way of escaping the negative connotation of exterminating an entire people, and the position that a biologically “White” person is an oppressor simply be existing, this charitable interpretation is less likely than this being a careful couching of his true intentions.

This kind of language—abolishing an entire race of people—should be stigmatized, not subsidized by taxpayers. The public university system has been corrupted by ideologues who pursue far-left activism, not genuine knowledge. We need deep structural reforms to turn it around.
