The Nutty Professor

A professor (who, rather aptly, bears a vague resemblance to Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor) is giving lectures moaning and complaining about the "inequality" of blacks to whites, etc. Of course, he doesn't actually give any examples of this inequality. He then goes on to outline four rationalisations, or "frames", that whites apparently use to explain away racism: abstract liberalism, naturalisation, cultural racism and minimisation of racism. I will leave you to read the explanations of these four frames for yourself - they are shockingly inane.

The professor also discussed "people’s hesitance to openly discuss racism in public". As if that is remotely true. He gave an example of an interview with a white person who said minorities use racism as an excuse “if things didn’t go their way,” and that whites suffer from reverse discrimination. I agree with this mysterious white person.

Other examples taken from his interviews with many white people showed similar responses, which indicates many whites’ firm belief that blacks are playing “race cards” to gain preferential treatment. And where could they possibly have got that idea from?

The article concludes: "Bonilla-Silva concluded the lecture by suggesting 'five things we [minorities] ought to do,' including developing counter-arguments for the four frames..." Yes, I suggest you do that, professor. Because you haven't actually come up with ANY kind of counter-argument so far.
