Grading Is Racist “White Language Supremacy” Says Arizona State Professor

Arizona State Professor Asao B. Inoue coined the term HOWL “Habits of White Language” and proposes a new model to grade students’ work.

To combat White Language Supremacy, professor Inoue promotes Labor-Based Grading.

“White language supremacy in writing classrooms is due to the uneven and diverse linguistic legacies that everyone inherits, and the racialized white discourses that are used as standards, which give privilege to those students who embody those habits of white language already,” said Asao Inoue, professor of rhetoric and composition at Arizona State University. 

Inoue said white supremacy culture “makes up the culture and normal practices of our classrooms and disciplines” in his online talk Thursday titled “The Possibilities of Antiracist Writing Assessment Ecologies.” 

Inoue has emerged as one of the leading scholarly proponents within academia to denounce traditional spelling, grammar and punctuation grading norms as racist, and frequently gives talks to campuses to advance his argument.

Inoue has coined the term “Habits of White Language,” or HOWL, to describe the standard writing teachers use to grade students’ work.

Stanford And U Cal Professors Declare That Conservatives Who Vote For Black Candidates Are STILL RACIST

In the wake of Winsome Sears becoming the first black Lt. Governor of Virginia, critical race theory peddling leftists have had to shift their narrative, with two academics in particular arguing that conservatives who vote for black candidates are still racist.

In an op ed published by ABC News, Stanford University Assistant Professor Hakeem Jefferson and U Cal Professor Michael Tesle suggest that white conservatives only vote for black Republican candidates when it suits their partisan agenda.

The pair wrote that “supporting a Black candidate hardly precludes voters from harboring racist beliefs and motivations.”

“Republicans are increasingly more likely than Democrats to hold prejudiced views of minorities, so Black Republicans like Sears often draw especially strong support from [W]hite Americans with otherwise anti-Black views simply because they draw most of their support from Republican voters,” the piece continues.

The pair claim that “Sears’s conservative politics don’t threaten the racial hierarchy, and her candidacy provides cover for a party that’s often antagonistic to racial minorities. For racially prejudiced [W]hites, the real question is what is there not to love about Black politicians like Sears?”

It continues, “To make sense of why racially prejudiced [W]hite Americans are willing to support some Black candidates, it is worth considering why they so strongly oppose Black Democrats in the first place,” adding “Racially prejudiced [W]hite voters are not opposed to Black candidates simply because they are Black, but because they believe that most Black candidates will fight for ‘those people’ and not ‘people like us.’”

The two also pointed to former presidential candidate Ben Carlson, claiming that his support among conservatives again doesn’t mean those people are not racist.

“For many white GOP voters, anti-Black views don’t seem to get in the way of supporting a Black Republican,” they claim.

University of Maryland divides its freshman class into whites and Asians and ‘students of color, minus Asian’

Here’s an interesting screengrab from the University of Maryland breaking down freshman admissions and enrollment by race. The best part is they only needed two categories to do it: you have your students of color (minus Asian) and then white students, including Asians.

It’s a weird phenomenon that we’re sure isn’t limited to the University of Maryland. We told you about San Francisco school board vice president Alison Collins, who is black, tweeting that Asian American students, teachers, and parents are “house n****rs” who use “white supremacist thinking” to assimilate and get ahead. You see, Asian Americans are “white adjacent.”

White Students Not Allowed at Pennsylvania School District’s Drone Camp

A middle school in Pennsylvania is receiving pushback from some parents for hosting a drone-flying camp over the weekend that was not open to white students.

During morning announcements at Upper Merion Area Middle School on November 1, a school staff member said she had “an exciting announcement,” but asked everyone to first watch a short video about drones. The video included footage of students flying drones, and snippets of TV news reports where anchors noted that “drones are in high demand,” and “if you want to go into drones, you’re going to need those (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills.”

After the video, the staff member announced a drone flight camp at the middle school on Saturday, according to a recording of the announcement a parent posted on Facebook. The camp was free, but there were only 24 seats available, the staff member announced. Seats would be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, she said.

But there was another catch.

“Here’s the thing, it is a black-student-union-sponsored event,” the staff member said, adding that “you must be black, African American, a person of color in order to participate.”

Yale causes uproar with seminar by diversity trainer who said the FBI inflates antisemitism figures, the written word is white supremacy and punctuality is a white trait: Hired by professor who accused Native American student of racism

A law professor who was caught on tape pressuring a Native American student to apologize for ‘trap house’ party, pushed Yale to host a diversity trainer who reportedly told students anti-Semitism is a form of ‘anti-blackness’ and that the FBI artificially inflates hate crimes against Jews.

Yale’s director of diversity and inclusion Yaseen Eldik invited ‘kinky’ sex education and diversity trainer Ericka Hart to the university after the board ‘publicly expressed’ it would ‘implement implicit bias and antiracism training.’ 

The Ivy League school had seen its fair share of racial controversies, including Eldik telling a Native American story to apologize for using the term ‘trap house’ the same day as Hart’s presentation.  

Hart’s training was advertised as ‘training which galvanizes audiences to explore their own biases, share in their experience of identity and offer actionable steps on how each individual can integrate a social and racial justice ethic in their own lives for a more equitable and just world.’ 

Attendants wrote in a review that Hart was asked to provide ‘concrete ideas of next steps to promote antiracism and diversity.’ 

Hart’s presentation allegedly dealt with ‘pretty privilege’ and ‘fatphobia.’ 

When a Yale Law Review journal editor asked her why her presentation dealt with those types of topics instead of anti-Semitism, Hart allegedly replied that she did because she covered anti-blackness and there are some black Jews, according to the Washington Free Beacon. 

‘She basically said anti-Semitism is a subset of anti-blackness,’ the unidentified editor told the Free Beacon said. 

‘She didn’t recognize there could be anti-Semitism against white people.’

A review by journal editors and student attendants confirmed this statement.

Maryland school system tells students ‘systemic racism’ is a pandemic in ‘psychoeducational lessons’

The most populous county in Maryland has implemented “psychoeducational lessons” that tell students there is a “dual pandemic” involving COVID-19 and “systemic racism,” according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch.

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) promoted materials like “Antiracist Baby” by Ibram X. Kendi in a PowerPoint obtained by Judicial Watch. The PowerPoint links to an audio reading of the book, which says “Babies are taught to be racist or antiracist, there’s no neutrality.”

Teacher notes in the PowerPoint said the book “is the perfect gift for readers of all ages dedicated to forming a just society,” even babies and toddlers.

Fox News first reported on the Judicial Watch documents Thursday.

“This material details how extremist race politics and CRT are being used to target children for political ends,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement on the documents, Fox News reported. “Politics should immediately be removed from the curriculum of Montgomery County Schools. These CRT-laden teachings have no place in any American classroom.”

Critical Race Theory (CRT) holds that America is fundamentally racist, yet it teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. Its adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies.

MSNBC Race Baiters Continue To Attack Virginia’s First Black Lt. Gov As ‘White Supremacist’

MSNBC continued to slander Virginia’s first black Lt. Governor Thursday, declaring her to be a “ventriloquist” for white supremacists.

After her victory on Tuesday, Winsome Sears called out MSNBC host Joy Reid, challenging the host to a debate and demanding a halt to the use of race baiting rhetoric without allowing recourse.

Reid has continued to attack Winsome, however, bringing on a leftist Professor who boldly proclaimed that “To have a black face speaking on behalf of a white supremacist legacy is nothing new.”

Michael Eric Dyson further described Sears as “a black mouth moving but a white idea running on the runway of the tongue of a figure who justifies and legitimates the white supremacist practices.”

Democrats Need Systemic Racism To Exist So Much, They Fake It

After more than a century as the party of slavery and segregation, Democrats have come to embrace a new form of systemic racism in their race-baiting politics and widespread adoption of critical race theory.

Since dismantling the current state of racism has become such a fundamental pillar to the Democrat Party, conceding to reality on the issue would forfeit a lucrative political tool. That’s led the party to aggressively assert that systemic racism against non-white people is endemic, even present within liberal enclaves where Democrat rule is purportedly synonymous with liberation. That’s because, when systemic racism ceases to exist, so does the central mission of the Democrat Party and its favorite attack against Republicans.

The nation’s obsessive focus on race is a product of Democrat engineering, a party advertising “solutions” such as reparations and affirmative action branded as “social justice” with consequences far more detrimental than color blindness. With a lens solely fixated on race, an entire generation is now primed to seek out episodes of racism even where there are none. In a world where cereal boxes, Santa Claus, and even Jesus Christ are racist, what isn’t? When everything is racist, nothing will stop being racist. Under this ideology, the very denial of racism is also deemed racist.
