UChicago English Department Accepted only Black Studies Concentrators

[Lesh]

Yes, when it is focused solely on fighting anti-black racism while advancing - even practicing - anti-white racism.

That the U of Chicago chose to dedicate its entire English Grad program to fighting racism against blacks is ridiculous, but par for the course with the leftist agenda.

What about white students who want to become English professors at the university level and need a Ph.D., or at the high school level and need a master’s? Maybe they’d like to teach the Great Works of literature to 11th graders? Or maybe they’d like teach better writing composition skills to 9th graders?

No wonder kids are graduating without ever having read Charles Dickens or knowing how to construct a grammatically correct sentence. Their “teachers” are being trained to teach them about anti-blackness, and to put those whitr people in their place.

Anti- white racism?

Yeah

THERE’S a problem

Being educated on a subject is being a victim to you? Lol.

When a university LIMITS students to studying only that subject, yes. Black studies could be an option, but the university does not want students who are interested in annything else.

How would you feel if a university said its English Department was open solely to students who want to study how anti-white racism is being advanced and how blacks have hurt the country?

I don't see victims here.

You only see victims if they’re black.

This thread should be shutdown. First the link is 5 years old. Second it is a lie. Here is the note that clearly says they are looking for people who want to work in black studies, not black students. And it is for a Graduate Program. Not undergraduate. This Is a moronic post from clearly a person with the reading comprehension of a moron.

EVERY student that applied to be part of the graduate english program, who did NOT put as their focus BLACK STUDIES, was denied.


That is a huge discrimination.

YOu have a love of Poetry and that's your focus? **** YOU.

You over there, you love to study the history of word development and what it shows about past peoples? **** YOU.


It hurt people. This policy hurt people for no reason, other than to empower the leftard agenda.

What people were hurt?

They accepted people of all races to study in this area in their GRADUATE PROGRAM

That's not what happened so.......dismissed.

 

[Lisa558]

That's not what happened so.......dismissed.

That is. The program ONLY accepted students who wanted to concentrate on anti-blackness, and the harm that whites have done. Whom do you think “colonizers” refers to?

Nothing stopped you from concentrating on poetry, you had to take the black studies classes.

My daughter was a music master. She still had to take science classes.

U of Chicago DID stop students from concentrating on poetry! That’s the point.

Jeez. How dense can you Dems be?!

How is what I said fake news? U of Chicago DID not accept stidents who wanted to concentrate on poetry. You were FORCED to concentrate on Black Studies (why is that in an English Dept anyway?), or the door was slammed shut on you.

PKnopp has run out of ways to defend what U of C did.

 

[Moonglow]

With a degree in Black studies you can work at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Would you like fries wit dat

Not if yer a PHD, jobs at McDonald's are for low-brow educated people like Trump.

They could always not go to U of C and go somewhere else if they didn't want to take the classes.

Pure bullshit. This limits nothing. It’s an ADDITIONAL program you racist creep

THe students that weren't radical enough. THey were denied an opportunity to compete for the slots.


i was clear about that. Would you like to address my point now, or are you going to keep playing dumb, to avoid doing so?

This is a few years old, but it shows how far along universities have become in indoctrinating students into the leftist agenda. Here we see where the U of Chicago had, as its official policy, to accept ONLY applicants who wanted to concentrate in Black Studies into its graduate English program.

The announcement further stated that it is the responsibility of all faculty to “fight anti-blackness” and that English as a discipline “has rationalized colonization and anti-blackness.”

UChicago English Department to Accept Only Black Studies Applicants

The University of Chicago’s English department has announced that it “is accepting only applicants interested in working in and with Black Studies” citing the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement in their announcement. In a post on their website, English department faculty notes that they “attend...

That’s because you don’t read Reoublican websites, and remain ignorant of what’s going on.

So….how about Insider Higher Ed? Ever heard of THEM?

Yes I know them. And it doesn’t say they only accept Black people. Only those whose focus is in black studies. They can be white.
You say, I don’t read Republican websites. But you don’t read. Period.

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

Anti- white racism?

Yeah

THERE’S a problem

Why? A white person concentrating in black studies could apply.

I never said blacks were the only ones admitted. It’s obvious you can’t even read a TITLE.

But it’s acceptable to have a university that will only admit students who focus on black studies - and actively promoting anti-white attitudes?! And in the English Department that has nothing to do with racial issues?
