PORTLAND, Oregon – Universities and colleges across the nation are well known for celebrating ethnic diversity and multi-culturalism.
All are welcome – unless, of course, you are a white American. In the world of academia, white people are unfairly privileged and automatically racist, just because they are white.

Academics have been busy trying to combat white influence in American society. Last year, for instance, it was revealed that Arizona State University offered a course called “The Problem with Whiteness,” according to Mediaite.com.
Now Portland Community College has taken the effort a step further by declaring April 2016 to be “Whiteness History Month,” according to a report from CampusReform.org.
The goal of the project is to begin a process that will result in the “dismantling of whiteness,” a phrase chillingly reminiscent of Hitler’s “final solution” for Jewish people.
The project was brainstormed by the Portland Community College Cascade Campus Diversity Council. The group hopes to use a series of panel discussions, films, lectures and seminars to address the troubling topic of whiteness, reports SFGate.com.
“Whiteness History Month Project, unlike heritage months, is not a celebratory endeavor, it is an effort to change our campus climate,” organizers explained online, according to SFGate.com.
“The Project seeks to challenge the master narrative of race and racism through an exploration of the social construction of whiteness. Challenging the master narrative of traditional curriculum is a strategy within higher education that promotes multicultural education and equity.”

In other words, the project is designed to challenge “the master narrative of race and racism through an exploration of the social construction of whiteness,” the Campus Diversity Council wrote.
And the “social construction of whiteness” clearly evolved from sinister roots that must be explored and exposed.
The school will ask students to “explore the meaning and history of whiteness,” specifically how it “[emerged] from a legacy of imperialism, conquest, colonialism, and the American enterprise,” according to the Campus Diversity Council.
It will ask them to consider the “legal, cultural, economic, social, environmental, educational, and/or intrapersonal consequences of whiteness.”
The goal of the project seems to be the consideration of various idea to deconstruct, defeat and eliminate white culture, once and for all.
“The school asks (students) to consider ‘… approaches and strategies to dismantling whiteness … [and] the roles and responsibilities of white people and people of color in dismantling whiteness,” the CampusReform.org report said.
Again, that sounds an awful lot like a “final solution.” Just what do they have in mind?
