White college students are undergoing a weekly “deconstructing whiteness” program at Northwestern University.The “6-part workshop series for undergraduate students who self-identify as white” launched in January and runs through March, according to the university’s website. Students enrolled chose to do so – it is voluntary.
A spokesman for the prestigious private university located outside Chicago declined to give The College Fix details on the program, such as how many students enrolled and how it’s been received so far.
“It’s part of Northwestern’s Social Justice Education effort to create learning opportunities for our students,” Bob Rowley, a spokesman for the campus, told The College Fix in an email, providing a link to the social justice webpage and adding: “Beyond that, we don’t have anything more for you on it.”
According to a report in the campus newspaper, the workshops focus on “terminology used in conversations of race, the history and meaning of whiteness, white guilt and the difference between intellectualizing and feeling racism.”
“There’s a lot of space on this campus for conversations to happen around issues of privilege and specifically around issues of white privilege,” Michele Enos, assistant director of the university’s Social Justice Education office, told The Daily Northwestern.
A poster advertising the workshop series (shown above) posed rhetorical questions such as: “What is my role in doing anti-racist work?” or “why do I have to feel guilty about being white?” and “how can I talk about race as a white person?”
The Daily Caller reports the events are hosted in collaboration with the university’s Women’s Center.
“Students applying for the program are required to commit to attend all six sessions, seemingly preventing students from abandoning the program if they don’t like it or feel uncomfortable,” the Caller reports.
The program is a part of Northwestern’s “Social Justice Education” office, which “creates co-curricular educational opportunities in partnership with our student community that foster self-exploration, facilitate conversations across difference and support actions that create social change on campus,” according to its website.
Similar programming like the “Deconstruction Whiteness” workshop includes “student activism workshops” that end “racist cis-patriarchy” or programs that “navigate” real life diversity issues.
Just like all the Sensitivity Training Crap I had to endure in the USAF and as a State of Florida employee.
I wonder if anyone will take them to Court on the grounds that the school is making them feel unsafe and creating a hostile academic and workplace environment towards them?

Will that “deconstructing” process also deconstruct EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WHITE PEOPLE/CULTURE HAS CREATED TOWARDS A GLOBAL CIVILIZATION?
What a load of shit. No wonder colleges cost an arm and a leg. What the fuck does a college have to have a “Social Justice Education Office” for?
Ohhh, I get it.
You offer “low cost/free” college – that will come with a ton of strings attached and/or make you a debt slave to the fed.gov.
You get indoctrinated into the Joys of Big Government and the Evils of The Constitution/Liberty/Capitalism/2nd Amendment.
The fed.gov now has millions of willing useful idiots to do whatever it wants to that are now beholden to it.
What didn’t I think of that.
Guess I need to re-enroll in the Evil Overload Training Academy. Again.

Does anyone ever wonder why jews don’t get on the white genocide bandwagon? Because they aren’t white and they want us dead or our majority in western countries watered down to nothingness.
But then again, a jew lover would never believe such a thing, even when they say it themselves.
And I’m supposed to pay for this shit by sending my kids to one of these schools? Fuck that.
I’m going to take a different angle than probably most will on here and say that this is a good thing and I hope to see more of it. It’s a tiny % of the overall population who are cramming this type of shit down our throats. Most people that claim to support it mainly do so because they feel the social pressure or institutional pressure to do so, not because they truly believe in it. The more of this kind of thing we see, the less credibility these institutions and the people who run them will have, and the sooner this whole college bubble will come crashing down. Once money gets tight at these colleges, and it WILL dry up eventually, those schools are going to be desperate to just stay open, and the FIRST people thrown out on their asses will be the ones teaching these kinds of courses.
Another reason why – right now white fly over country types feel they need to send their kids to these types of places to get ahead, but the silent majority will get fed up with this the more of it we see and withdraw our consent by not sending our kids there. No institution can function without that large group of white taxpayers, and this one will crash and burn once it makes us detest colleges like this one enough.
Bravo northwestern, this libertarian thinks you are doing us all a great service.
How about a program to ‘deconstruct ghettoness’ so black Americans will stop the 73% illegitimacy rate, gangsta thug glorification, work and school failure, fatherlessness, and youth crime?
From the link within the article——“Northwestern does not appear to have any similar “social justice education” events exclusively for non-whites. The university will, however, sponsor a blacks-only “healing space” on February 25 as part of the university’s Black History Month festivities.
The university website justifies the racially-exclusive healing space by explaining: “Living and being a black student at Northwestern, let alone a black person in the world, is a difficult burden to carry. This healing space is meant to give people the chance to talk through the state of our communities, blackness in the world, and day-to-day struggles of being black at Northwestern.” The university website states that the event is “a black student and community affinity space.”
A fucking “healing space”. That is special. That’s mighty white of Northwestern. Fuck me..Being black is a difficult burden to carry. Yeah, I know, all that cotton to pick and only so many hours in a day. Poor LeBron James, Tiger Woods, Denzel Washington, and on and on. Yeah, I stay awake at night worrying about their burden.
So, “Deconstructing Whiteness” is voluntary, but you can’t quit if you want to. Sounds like the fucking Hotel California. What kind of self-loathing, mouth-breathing, thought-controlled piece of ratshit would volunteer for this? Sob, sob, sob, “Why do I have to feel guilty about being white?” Sob, sob, sob. I can tell you without taking the stinking course ; you fucking don’t, and tell anyone that says you should feel guilty to fuck off. What in the blue fuck is happening with today’s yutes?

“And I’m supposed to pay for this shit by sending my kids to one of these schools? Fuck that.”
It’s cute that you think you’re not paying for it. You don’t have to pay for it by sending your kids there or even have kids! That’s the beauty of it! You, your chirren and their chirren are going to be paying for the student loans these cherubs are defualting on all over the country. This way we all get to feel the Bern of socialism. Thanks for your support and have a nice day! 🙂
What a load of bullshit.
I’m a white man, but I identify as a pink unicorn with purple tights. I feel so oppressed! Where is my safe space!!

Cursive writing has intentionally become a lost art. Pushing it into the dumpster of education is just another means of crushing expression and individuality. The facility of the stroke, the beauty of the curves, the consistent slant, and the feelings and authenticity emoted for the ages; why destroy that?
I went there for a grad degree 25 years ago. Fortunately, we did not have this crap going back then. This is why I will never donate a single cent of my hard earned money to this private school. The professors are overpaid and most of them buy into this liberal mantra.
I would say to anyone contemplating spending $60K a year to attend here to stay strictly technical in engineering, the sciences or finance or don’t bother with college at all. You will be $240K in debt, working at Starbucks and walking around with Bernie signs looking for handouts to pay off your debt

WHITES got …………………………. privilege? give me a fucking break !
Drumrole …………………. who is the instigator of theses and damn near all the others?
Read history and learn with unpreconceived notions.
Look up whats her name? lois lerner ? Prolly misspelled its name .
The question is why tho ?
It is in the history books , I do not take a historical record and assume it is the truth . I will cross reference at LEAST 100 tomes before I will even begin to shape an opinion . After a 1000 , I get a fair idea .
Guess what folks? This is a normal pattern of history , with one glaring difference .
Has not a shit load to do with jews or Christians or muslims etc etc . Or the concept of race.
In history , all those groups after the same thing , power , fairly simple concept .
Modern times ,as in the here and now, there is ,indeed one thing , new under the sun .
That’s all I got to say about that , I do not wish to go into the night anytime soon lol
Altho , what purpose is it for a man’s reach , to exceed his grasp ?
To CREATE the tools needed to achieve his reach .
Tho I fear the tools created and their self determined purpose . They have no soul .
Pandora’s modern box has been opened .
Enjoy what you can while you can .
Whatever , just a cook ))
Let’s be honest with ourselves here. Anyone who attends one of those and takes anything seriously is a lost cause and was already unsaveable and useless. The only thing to do is wait for schadenfreude to kick in. Sit back, and wait for the attendees to wind up as the newest viral video on worldstar. They’ll be the ones get discount dentistry. Reality is a wonderful, cruel, glorious bitch when you’re an absolute fucking retard.
