All good people know that White cismales are responsible for all of history’s greatest crimes. From the rampages of the Roman Empire to the Holocaust to the imperialism of Great Britain, to the rape of American continents from the peaceful First Nations, palefaces have been at the forefront of historical crime.
Until recently, the White cisheteropatriarchy maintained many of its privileges with the assistance of a network of universities designed to entrench privilege and perpetuate false narratives of the supremacy of Western Civilization.
Since the heroic campus rebellions of the 1960s, 70s, and afterwards, these former bastions of privilege have opened up to more socially just educational programs. For the first time in the West, the true & noble stories of women, Chicanos, homosexuals, people outside the gender binary, Africans, and others have come to be taught on an equal level to the lies of the old regime.
This equality is itself problematic. While it’s important to re-educate the privileged, this re-education itself confers and re-entrenches some forms of historical inequality. What’s needed isn’t equality. The crimes of this race are too black and numerous for such mercy. Calls for equality are just compromise measures. We need absolute social justice. And we can’t be patient for it. We demand it as rapidly as possible.
And the only way to truly extract an eye for an eye – before we implement a more thorough sentence — is to ban White men from universities in the same way that these formerly segregated institutions banned anyone who differed from the skin color and gender profile of the dominant faction.
What we need to do is to start a movement to force universities – particularly the most prestigious ones – to ban the admission of all White cismen, and to expel all current students matching that description without delay. Universities that fail to comply should lose accreditation.
This will be necessary to pave the way for more profound changes in their legal status. While universal suffrage has been, on the whole, a victory for the oppressed, we must make exceptions to that rule in the same way that we, today, (in an often problematic fashion) restrict votes for felons. In a historical sense, we must convict White men as a class as the world-historical war criminals that they are.
Will this move unfairly punish hundreds of thousands of righteous White male allies?
Absolutely.
But we can’t make the omelet of perfect, universal justice without breaking some eggs.
The presence of White men in any classroom, owing to their historical record, can be profoundly triggering to women and people of color. To protect their historic victims – to give them mental and physical space for them to flourish – we must keep White men away from the university, and by blocking them from those institutions, we must keep them far away from political power, also.
We have tried reform. We have tried patient education. It has not worked. Harsher measures will be required. The world can’t wait.
I think Jezebel might be in touch soon to discuss SM content syndication.
This will lead to unsupervised white males. You know they will get up to questionable things, and due to their privilege, we would undoubtedly find out they have made lots of money. Additionally, as you know, our propaganda must continuously be reinforced- at the very least, we would have to mandate constant television watching. Perhaps we should develop another entry in the next DSM, and medicate these recalcitrant traits out of them.
“The crimes of this race are too black and numerous for such mercy.”
This sentence is racist because it associates the word black with being bad/evil. The word white should be used instead to represent such ideas from now on in the English language.
I’ve already been called in for re-education, comrade.
Particularly entertaining if you read this in a MLK voice.
The irony is lost on most American citizens, but very few Americans.
I don’t think Henry is actually being ironic here. Well, he is in the putative reasons for it, but not in the suggestion itself. If white males were actually banned from college, they would create separate (and unequal) institutions for themselves that would rapidly outcompete the existing (white male free) ones. Civilization, which in the West is tantamount to White Christian Civilization, would by this very policy be saved, relatively unaltered from the vector it was on prior to about 1850.
Yes, but if you had parallel institutions, one white and one colored, and the white one succeeded, obviously it would be the result of some kind of conspiracy.
Yes, indeed. But we should do it anyway.
Justice for the oppressed! White men out of higher ed!
If this essay was published at a left-wing site, would any of the loyal readers object? It is past time for the right to create separate institutions, and I would especially like to see them restore the classical university. It once was the bastion of tradition, before those “heroic campus rebellions” of late 1960s.
That’s an interesting point. Would they see it as a troll? At gawker or daily kos, I tend to doubt it.
This would actually be fantastic because it would force people to abandon those horrible institutions and form new ones.
I thought that this was already being done, via “Affirmative Action” and “Equal Opportunity” (for everyone but ‘evil White males’, of course) emphasis concerning scholarships, grants, and financial aid, as well as expulsion from colleges and universities from Star Chamber “false accusation” trials.
The collapse can’t come fast enough…
