Black History Professor Imagines A World Without Whiteness [VIDEO]
2016-04-09
[Daily Caller] James Harrison, history professor at Portland Community College, said in a lecture Monday for the college’s April Whiteness History Month that peace in the U.S. is impossible so long as whiteness still exists.

In a talk entitled "Imagine A World Without Whiteness," Harrison declared confidently conflict can only cease once the power structure of whiteness is totally eliminated.

"Imagine everyone living life in peace," Harrison said, building off John Lennon’s famous song "Imagine."

“And how do we get to that good world is the question — a world without conflict. And to me, my interpretation of these words, is it would be a world, or U.S., without whiteness, in terms of the power structure,” Harrison said, offering his own interpretation of Lennon’s song.
Professor Harrison really should get out more, travel a bit and see the world.

#12  Can you imagine the vitriol and condemnation if you suggested a world without "blackness"?

#11  I would prefer to imagine a world without James Harrison.

Preferably after he has left in a very messy, painful and screaming way as possible.

#9  my suggestion: Mr. Harrison should only take home a professor's salary commensurate with the black proportion of taxes paid in Portland. So, assuming a Professor makes $80K, he would get 6.3% of that or about $5K. None of that icky white money. Show some principle, racist asshole

#7  For one thing, this page would be hard to read with a black bnot background. For another, there would be fatter lions because zebras would have no stripes and would not be camouflaged.

#6  My response to the professor. why are people of color constantly risking everything to migrate to what you consider the world of 'whiteness'?

#5  Well, for starters, there'd be no Portland Community College at which to deliver a lecture, and no song entitled "Imagine" to "build off" from.

#3  "Imagine A World Without Whiteness,"

Don't have to imagine. It's pretty much all before 1492. The Euros were pretty much confined to their little corner of the world. China was pretty much the regional super power on the planet. War, pestilence, and famine were the norm. When you have no history, just life experience, you have insufficient data to make view all human history. The people today have less in common with those who lived a hundred years ago, than those who lived a hundred years ago have in common with those who lived a thousand years ago.
