Prof Goes After Covington Kid And “Smiling Face Of Whiteness”

Authored by Celine Ryan via Campus Reform,

An Ivy League professor bashed “the smiling face of Whiteness” in response to the recent controversy involving an interaction between a Native American man and a Catholic teenage supporter of President Donald Trump.

“Whiteness endlessly forgives its own transgressions,” University of Pennsylvania associate professor Ebony Elizabeth Thomas wrote on Sunday about the confrontation between Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann and Native American Nathan Phillips.

“It rarely, if ever, gives those of us it harms and maims and kills time to process our motions [sic].”

Thomas teaches in UPenn’s Graduate School of Education.

“‘You forgive us, right? You have to forgive us! Understanding will make it better! Reconciliation! Diversity! Inclusion!’” she continued, conveying what she suggests to be the attitude of most white people.

According to Thomas, the “smiling face of Whiteness” is one that “always hides a knife behind its back.”

“That knife says this: ‘You must forgive us. You must educate us. Or else.’”

“Usually, that ‘or else’ happens anyway,” the professor adds. “But it will assuredly happen unless you kiss Whiteness’ ring.”

Thomas goes on to claim that she knows “all about Whiteness’ outrageous demands.” She reiterates that “whiteness endlessly forgives its own transgressions.”

“Time’s up for instant forgiveness, for demanding free labor of the walking wounded, and for demanding that those you’ve offended ‘make it right’ so you can feel better before they have time to mourn, grieve…and breathe,” Thomas claims.

“The focus shouldn’t be on how these people can learn from BIPOC [Black & Indigenous People of Color],” she said. “This isn’t a Hollywood movie, and we’re flesh and blood, not magical creatures you get to use and abuse on your journey toward enlightenment.”

“The focus should be on how White folks can do better *among yourselves.*”

Thomas then explains her reasoning for not sharing the highly circulated video of the confrontation between the Native and the Covington schoolboy, noting that “out of respect and solidarity,” she does not wish to reinforce such “visual trauma.”

The tweets came on the same weekend that much of the mainstream media jumped to negative conclusions of the Covington students after seeing a two-minute video clip circulating on social media. What many reporters missed, however, was the key context that was offered in two hours of additional footage. The added video shows Phillips approaching the boys, not the other way around, just before the moment that went viral.  A number of reporters later apologized for jumping to conclusions. At the time of publication, Thomas had yet to do the same. 

Campus Reform reached out to Thomas for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

So we have a bunch of decent, polite young men minding their own business waiting for a bus while a herd of howling baboons scream racist, homophobic and obscene invective at them and it’s the boys that need to apologize. This is a society circling the drain-and deserves to.

BTW did you notice the snake kristol crawled out of his hole to rip the boys? Once the facts came out he deleted the tweet and crawled back into his hole. Is this asshole EVER right? Imagine his opinion if instead of wearing MAGA hats they wore yarmulkes. Slimy cocksucker.

Add her to the list.
When the reckoning comes, laying low might not be an option.
We are internally at war. A war of words, narratives, tactics, and the forces are taking sides, growing,
and gathering, just as the dark clouds roll in ever closer from the horizon, with the light of truth receding.
Rough sailing ahead. Thunder and Lighting forecast, with many loud booms, and few will emerge unscathed.
Didn’t have to be this way. I weep for the grandchildren in my circles. We are pissing away their future. Sad.

Why aren’t these people being fired? If a white person said anything remotely similar about anyone of color or in the LGBT crowd they would be fired and massive apologies would be coming from the institution that they worked for saying how that person doesn’t represent their values. Sickening… Chip

Hopefully these young white Catholic men will realize that they are the future of the white race and will realize that most of the world and just about every racial minority is against them (and us). These white men will have to realize that they may have to “filter” what they are being taught, especially with the racial and cultural “universality” and “equality” that is preached by the present-day Catholic Church.
Hopefully, the harassment that they suffered is a true education and “wake-up call”…

There is a problem with the face of smiling whiteness? One gets it from religious dental care including brushing and flossing after meals. She is perhaps jealous of his orthodontia?

Ebony should go visit 69th Street, Admin’s 30 Blocks, or for a lovely road trip, Camden N.J. across the river, to see the bright works of her people of color. That ought to make her smile. Well, shouldn’t it?

Don’t ya’ll just love the Internet. It’s where we ALL have a VOICE! RiNS, El Coyote, Uncola, BL, No One, bb, etc. etc can rant and rave and let our opinions be known.

The down side is that a dumbfuk nigger ASSOCIATE professor, whom no one has ever heard of before, and who will be forgotten before the day is over, can also rant and rave.

Not that I’m against free speech, but it’s a damned shame that this dumb cunt has a voice here on the Platform. Viva la free speech!!

A very young Indian boy loses his parents, and is then taken under-wing of the Chief.
The boy is placed with new parents and is watched closely by the Chief.
As the boy matures and becomes stronger, the Chief is proud of him and encourages his education.
In the boy’s teen years, he and the Chief become closer and talk at lengths.

The last year of the boy’s high-school, the Chief questions the now young man of his future endeavors.
The young man replies that he is interested in college and would like to become an electrical engineer.
The Chief starts to plan to help the young one in such a costly endeavor, and thinks it would be a good example for his community.

The young man goes to college and graduates with a degree in EE. The Chief is so proud. Months later the young man calls the Chief to tell him he finds only difficult times, no one is hiring, the economy, etc.

The Chief tells him to come home for a bit until better days arrive.

The young man arrives, met by the community and the Chief. The Chief tells to young man that he is so proud of him, still, and what are his plans while at the reservation.

The man tells the chief that it is a shame that all these years, there is still no lights in the Community Tee Pee and none in the common lavatories. He explains to the Chief that while he was there, he would be happy to electrify those places and more.

The man works and works, placing wiring and outlets and lights.
When he finishes, he goes to see the Chief.

As he is walking the Chief through the lavatories to show him his handiwork, a tear comes to the Chief’s eye.
He lays an old wrinkled hand on the man’s shoulder, looks directly in his eye and says, “Son, you are the first Indian ever to wire a head for a reservation”.

Savanna Guthrie asked the young man if he thinks that wearing the MAGA hat caused the confrontation. I wonder if she would ask a women who was raped if she thought wearing a short skirt may have been the cause? Hypocrisy pure and simple!

Sick, no other interpretation. What is equally disturbing is how these bastardized institutions that refer to themselves as the IVY League continue to produce fringe fanatics and use their network to infiltrate and influence our entire system. Look at our Education, Political, Legal and Banking systems to name a few. Are we not living “the inmates running the institution”? This brand has gone stale and is no longer relevant. Time for change and not the one they are promoting.

you guys are mostly outraged about the wrong people–
she’s an idiotic,racist twit–since when do you waste time/energy on someone like her?
direct your energy at the people who give her a platform and people who support the people who give her a platform such as alumni,businesses that give $ to them,etc.–

since so much of the violent rhetoric comes out of universities & very few can support w/o federal aid or student loans, i wonder if congress could take a look at the violence and prejudice that is being pushed at these schools–
there has to be some transgression of some rule that would justify cutting off federal $ to these schools?
just a congressional panel holding hearings would probably cause many of them to take action to restrain their teachers & students–

At first, I was like ‘how else could it be interpreted?’ I guess, if you weren’t familiar with my benign mildly-right-of-center politics, it might be possible to misinterpret it as being anti-kid.

My first impression of the video is of a young man disrespecting an elder. Aside from all the narratives going along all sorts of rabbit trails the video still shows a young man disrespecting an elder.

Probably millions of folks from all walks of life must have viewed this video. The media cannot possible know what impression this video had on the public. But in my mind I saw an inexperienced in life young man disrespecting an old man that went through the Viet Nam war and has more life experience than this young man has on his little finger.

All I can say is his mother didn’t teach him manners.

Evidently you missed the memo. Chief squats-to-pee is a professional agitator, and never served in Vietnam. He served stateside for 4 years during the war, and was discharged as a corporal.
All I can say is your mother didn’t teach you to verify your facts before opening your blowhole.

Doesn’t matter. I saw disrespect. Big problem in our society today. Young people disrespecting elders. Big problem in our schools too. Students disrespecting teachers. You have big problem too. You believe the media story and make false judgment. Sad.
