Portland Community College has designated April "Whiteness History Month" (WHM), an "educational project" exploring how the "construct of whiteness" creates racial inequality.
"'Whiteness History Month: Context, Consequences, and Change' is a multidisciplinary, district-wide, educational project examining race and racism through an exploration of the construction of whiteness, its origins, and heritage," PCC states on its website. "Scheduled for the month of April 2016, the project seeks to inspire innovative and practical solutions to community issues and social problems that stem from racism."

Its description of “blackness” alone, what it really *means*, would be hilarious.

They’d raise the Devil!
I used to work at a large northeastern university. One April first somebody spoofed the “Cannabis Reform Coalition” a.k.a the campus potheads.
People found the campus plastered with handbills (they printed HUNDREDS of the things) for the “Cannibal Reform Coalition” on the morning of the first. The handbills were hysterically funny but you should have heard the uproar — you’d think the satirists had murdered the the leftie students famblys and urinated in their stashes of drugs. The howling went on for days...they demanded investigations, wanted the perps charged with littering and on and on...
i predict F-Off will be heard there a LOT next month
