University of Pittsburgh introduces mandatory anti-racism course for incoming freshmen

Students starting this fall at the University of Pittsburgh this fall will have one more course added to their curriculum: a mandatory one-credit class designed to churn out anti-racists.

The new course, “Anti-Black Racism: History, Ideology, and Resistance,” is required for incoming freshman and open to “any other interested learners,” the university said in a statement Thursday.

The goal is “to allow students to gain an understanding of the country’s long struggle with anti-Black racism,” the school said.

An anti-racism course is not necessarily a bad thing. But a mandatory anti-racism course that focuses exclusively on anti-black racism - yes, that’s a bad thing.

So let’s say you’re a Pitt student, and you’re an Asian-American. You have been discriminated against. You had better just take notes and keep your mouth shut.

Oh, and one more thing. If you’re a Pitt engineering or science student, you had better budget your lab time carefully. After all, you have a mandatory anti-racism class to take.

I imagine the focus will be on how bad those white guys have been throughout history and how they can never change and be decent human beings.

Public education is a menace and destructive to the survival of this nation.

Tax endowments. Cut off federal funding. Pitt is a major research institution. Second term Trump needs to cut off federal research grants to these crazies.

Disgusting that racists implement programs like this, to create a never ending cycle of racism.

Sue the crap out of these hellholes.

Well... there’s always that fall back option of learning how to “code.”

This is not just a public education problem. It is a problem everywhere. Most major organizations are now run by cowards.

Some extremist demands that a radical new policy be implemented. The correct answer to that demand is “Shut up and go away.”

But instead the organization falls over itself to implement the radical new policy.

Bet Foreign Communist Chinese and Indian students are exempt. And they are the most racist two groups on the planet.

I had to sit through the first of five anti-left-defined-racism seminars at my college earlier this week. I sat and smiled like Nicholas Sandmann. (Mr. Sandmann, I have a dream, bom-bom-bom-bomp...)

I don’t know about the Indians. But years ago I was acquainted with a Chinese student. When he wasn’t complaining about the Tibetans (“Tibet deserved to be occupied by China”), he was complaining about the Koreans and the Japanese.

But the guy was a brilliant physics student. So there’s that.

Ha! My strategy was to always arrive at such meetings early. And I would always grab a window seat. The presenters would talk, and I would look out at the clouds. The pretty, fluffy clouds. It was actually a very peaceful experience.

Extra credit for attending or organizing a BLM protest.

Around here they are being real careful to now call them vigils! LOL.

“Anti-racism” is PC-code for anti-white.

Correct.

And an “open conversation about race” is PC-code for “You white people - just shut up while I lecture you. And you had better agree with every last thing that I say. Otherwise you are a filthy racist.”

No country for white people.

These racists are telling my white grandchildren they will not have a future in the USA. They are excellent students and responsible young people but it won’t matter because they are white.

How can this racial hatred NOT start a civil war?

It’s one hell of a thing. Either white folks will rebel against these obvious racist attacks against them, or they will passively accept them. If it’s the latter, then the snake will eat the confused bunny rabbit.

If I had to bet, I’d bet that the snake will eat the confused bunny rabbit.
