Extremely White College Professor Fights the Lie — and ‘Disease’ — of Whiteness – Opinion

Are you suffering from a chronic disease?

If so, what is it — diabetes, cancer…whiteness?

These are all harmful conditions to an organism.

At least, that’s the message of a lecturer at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Charles Egerton spoke out about whitey in November during a virtual panel.

The College Fix has reported that the former corporate photographer earned his Ph.D.

The focus of the Institute is Peace and Conflict Studies.

What is the best way to achieve American peace? Perhaps the best step towards health is to get a diagnosis.

Hence, the good doctor helmed UNCG’s “Common Threads: Attacks on Critical Race Theory: Centering Whiteness” discussion.

According to the video’s YouTube description, a team of experts “unpacked four central myths and attacks being used by political and social opponents that seek to demonize and misrepresent Critical Race Theory and center whiteness.”

According to my knowledge, the racist notion of being white has been embraced by many:

A false belief that whiteness means infecting people with light skin, which then supports anti-Black racism and white supremacy.

They decried murder and robbery before the academics could get on to the work of making the problemally pale.

Onscreen:

More than an acknowledgment of land theft: How do we honor all our relations, our ancestors, those who were decimated, and those who continue to suffer in colonization’s holocaust?

Charles offered, “[E]very spot of the land that we’re on in this country and this continent has been stolen.”

Then they just kept on truckin’ on their immorally-employed acreage.

The panel observed Critical Race Theory’s four tenets:

• Racism is a social construct
• While individuals can be racists, racism is perpetuated at the societal level and on a structural level.
• Racism is more common (normal) than it is (abnormal).
• Understanding and listening to the lives of people is crucial to understanding racism’s effects on inequalities

What’s the enemy of such statements? It could be an American malady.

Whiteness is the main disease. Racism can be symptomatic of the white disease, white supremacy and white dominance.

Per Charles, CRT’s being assaulted by sickness:

“These attacks on Critical Race Theory are centering whiteness. We felt that it was necessary to understand a bit more about whiteness. And here, this slide is basically looking at whiteness as a disease.”

The professor’s a mythbuster; put this in your pipe and smoke it:

“The social construct is false — there is no superiority of people of lighter skin. So it’s important to see it as, really, it’s a disease because it’s an attack on the truth. Whiteness is not true, in terms of what it imposes on us and our culture and our society.”

As with heroin, don’t get started on whiteness:

“And then racism is a symptom of the disease of whiteness. And that’s just saying, kind of, where it starts and where it leads to.”

Of course skin is living tissue. But academia, industry, and government appear to have discovered that our external membrane — if it’s peachy — is ThisSort of alive

Unfortunately, there’s yet no cure for the disease:

The UNCG crew believes that CRT may be the best treatment for whiteness.

However, everyone is not on the same page.

This Colorado Springs father denounces critical race theory and says that “racism in America would be dead today if not for certain people and institutions keeping it on life support”—including public education.

But perhaps Dr. Charles knows better. After all, he’s studied the human condition.

As stated on his instructor page at UNCG, he’s also trying to deliver us from manness:

His doctoral thesis is titled: Being and Becoming: A Photographic Inquiry with Bahá’í Men into Cultures of Peace. This research asked its participants to explore the masculinity most suited to peacebuilding and used a newly devised method of interview/portraiture called PhotoSophia. It produced an exhibit of eleven photographic portraits inscribed with the men’s thoughts on unlearning patriarchal masculinity and adopting a masculinity that is more feminist, humanistic, and reflective of their belief in the oneness and equality of humanity.

It seems that Life has played a cruel trick on us: You can see in the panel (almost all-white), at 1:45:00 that Charles isn’t just a man but also very, very, very very white.

Here’s to hoping for a full and feminine recovery from his disease.
