As the demonization of white people goes unchallenged, it becomes more extreme. In 2018 a black woman, Lisa Anderson-Levy, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of Anthropology at Beloit College gave an invited lecture at the University of Minnesota in which she explained that "whiteness" is an existential threat to the United States and needs to be dismantled. The need to "decenter whiteness" is "one of the most urgent social dilemmas of our time." She went on to declare objective truth impossible as teaching is "a political act," except, of course, the teachings of Identity Politics. Only "whiteness" teachings are a political act.
Her defenders will make the point that when she denounces "the violence of whiteness" she is not referring, or at least not exclusively, to the physical violence of the KKK, slavers, imperialist and colonialist exploiters. She means the entire range of Western civilization. It is all "whiteness" science, mathematics, history, language and its use, ways of thinking and acting, everything. We are all, including whites, threatened by this "whiteness."
Here is a person, being honored by the University of Minnesota in a program used to "highlight successful alumni" of the university who wants to get rid of whiteness but emphasizes her commitment to "diversity, inclusivity, and equity." Notice the new meaning that Identity Politics has given to "inclusivity." It now means the dismantling of "whiteness." So how are whites included? What she is really talking about is getting rid of whites, and to the applause of many whites.
What would be her fate if she was talking about dismantling "blackness"? She would be demonized and instantly fired.
It is clear that although white people are still a majority in their countries, they are victims of Identity Politics, which has white people so demonized that they are able to defend themselves only at the cost of being labeled "white supremacists."
Everywhere we see among white people a loss of confidence. In England's Cambridge University, a small number of protesting students has succeeded in convincing the university that it is guilty of "institutional racism" for teaching English literature and English history rather than black and minority literature and history. The idea that the function of education is to inculcate people into their culture is now damned as the elevation of whiteness.
In Jean Raspail's novel, The Camp of the Saints, white Europeans are forbidden to marry and are bred out of existence. The novel could just as well have ended with blue-eyed blonds being bred as sex slaves to perpetuate the memory of the triumph of "sun people" over whiteness. (Dr. Ulmar Johnson explains the difference between sun people or blacks and ice people or whites.
Here is another telling of the story. Clearly, this ideology leads to exclusion, not inclusion.)
