The University of California (San Francisco) is under fire this week after hosting a racist speaker who attacked white people as psychopaths and claimed that black women could be legally raped. A conservative campus group posted clips from the event in which author Dante King lambasted the United States and its institutions as racist and maintaining a white “rape culture.” Imagine if a speaker or professor gave a lecture that called blacks “psychopaths” and responsible for a rape culture. The university would be quickly shutdown in a campus-wide effort at introspection, condemnation, and healing. Instead, King’s lecture was followed by applause.
During the Black History Month event, King delivered a lecture titled “Diagnosing Whiteness and Anti-Blackness: White Psychopathology, Collective Psychosis and Trauma in America.”
He explained how
“whites are psychopaths… and their behavior represents an underlying, biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their evolutionary history. How many of you can see the proclivity that evolved deep within the evolutionary history of Whiteness? By show of hands, how many of you could see it? Some people are sitting here, ‘Oh no, I don’t want to raise my hand,’ that’s called denial.”
King said he is not worried about how the whites in the audience react because he does not value or prioritize their feelings or views: “I’m not seeking agreement from White people at all. I don’t prioritize Whiteness or White people in my work in that way.”
There was little need to consider any whites on campus and what they think because “I think Whites are psychopathic. I think there are many lies. The level of lying that White people do that has started since colonialism. We’re just used to it.”
He also denounced the United States and its institutions as based on “anti-Blackness” as “the foundation of all American, all White American institutions.” Presumably, that is why
“there is no discussion about the delusions and the perversion of Whiteness. Say this with me: rape culture in America is a legal, economic, and moral institution. So we’re going to…we have it written in the law, you can rape Black women – but we’ve never been a racist country. This goes beyond gaslighting, and it’s rooted in psychological delusion. “
UC-San Francisco is full of faculty who have expressly committed themselves to being anti-racist but there was nary a complaint about this vehemently racist lecture.
There is nothing new. As we have previously discussed, professors have advocated “detonating white people,” denouncing police, calling for Republicans to suffer, strangling police officers, celebrating the death of conservatives, calling for the killing of Trump supporters, supporting the murder of conservative protesters, and other outrageous statements.
University of Rhode Island professor Erik Loomis defended the murder of a conservative protester and said he saw “nothing wrong” with such acts of violence.
Last year, Hunter College Professor Shellyne Rodríguez was only fired after being arrested for holding a machete to the neck of a New York Post reporter and threatening to “chop you up.”
Yet, she was not fired after she destroyed the pro-life display of a group of students. It was only later that she was fired after holding a machete to the neck of a journalist.
They are all part of the radical chic of academia and they have little fear of repercussions for their rhetoric.
Conversely, there is little tolerance for conservatives who seek to express their views.
The suspension of Ilya Shapiro is a good example. Other faculty have had to go to court to defend their free speech rights. One professor was suspended for being seen at a controversial protest.
We discussed how St. Joseph’s University refused to renew a contract for a professor who actually prevailed in such a free speech fight. A conservative North Carolina professor faced calls for termination over controversial tweets and was pushed to retire. Dr. Mike Adams, a professor of sociology and criminology, had long been a lightning rod of controversy. In 2014, we discussed his prevailing in a lawsuit that alleged discrimination due to his conservative views. He was then targeted again after an inflammatory tweet calling North Carolina a “slave state.” That led to his being pressured to resign with a settlement. He then committed suicide just days before his last day as a professor.
Yet, to even criticize an extremist speaker like King is to risk being ostracized and cancelled by one’s colleagues. Instead, you have professors and students sitting and listening to a virulently racist diatribe . . . only to politely applaud at the end. It is hard to see how this is any part of a celebration of Black History month as opposed to its debasement. To use this month to voice racist tropes and attacks should be offensive to everyone.
My greatest concern is not that offensive views are being shared on campus. King should be protected by free speech values and campuses should be places where a wide variety of viewpoints are heard. Rather, my concern is that such tolerance only seems to run to those on the far left. It is not evidence of the diversity but the hypocrisy and orthodoxy in higher education.
Hypocrisy and orthodoxy on American Campuses? Why wasn’t I told about this?
I think the people of comment today should not necessarily use Barack Obama as a counterpoint to this academic’s racism. You must remember Obama attended a church for nearly 20 years with a minister who preached this very self same hate. He only moved when the press, “actually doing some research back in those days” , sat in on some of the sermons and spread them over the nation. It brought some outrage but it was quite minuscule. Obama has expressed some tendencies in the same manner as this hate artist discussed today but you only caught it when he accidentally let down his guard.
One wonders if Obama believes the same thing except it’s polished up, made to shine and protected by the press.
I also note that most of this academic’s quotes about statutes in the US were primarily from the early 1800’s. Seems he skipped the civil war, ww1 and ww2 and the civil rights movement entirely. A somewhat glaring hole in his arguments.
I think the people of comment today should not necessarily use Barack Obama as a counterpoint to this academic’s racism.
I absolutely agree. My earlier comment put King and Obama, cut from the same bolt of cloth. They are both posers, dilettantes. Empty suits, puffed up by talking points and buzz words. Both are barely educated, but have reached levels of success far exceeding their skills and work ethic.
As many on this blog know, Mark Twain’s “Letters from the Earth” is the story of archangel Satan, banished once again from Heaven, who visits Earth, a tiny spec of a planet, and writes letters back to archangels Gabriel and Michael, telling them what craziness he has found, especially in organized religion. I can only imagine what Twain would write today with racist idiots like Dante King being hosted by a major university. There is a weakness of mind and soul that has infected what once was a beautiful albeit flawed country. And, there are no leaders on the left and precious few on the right who have the courage to challenge the race hustlers, aided and abetted by billionaire scum like Soros, who have made such things as defunding the police, criminal friendly prosecutors, lax drug laws, and even reparations a reality. Add to that the Democrats’ open borders and I am afraid that even Mark Twain could not find any humor in it.
I used to sit in the choir, when I was a teen, and read Letters From The Earth. But as I have gotten older, I am starting to think that I was wrong to stop going to church. I never thought that I would be the guy who said, “We need to put God back into our lives”, but here I am, nearly 70, and saying exactly that.
Can we send him back to Zimbabwe where he can enjoy a nice dirt pie and a nap in zebra dung ?
This is about as dumb as dumb can be. Imagine that, racists come in all colors, shapes and sizes. I am sure JTs readers have learned something new here. Wait, now that I think of it this might be true, there are so many white racists on this site that perhaps they never thought of that before. So good job JT, there are racists in the world.
Go back to your NATO hating, veteran hating, woman hating trump is a god posts please.
Your display of hate and rage is iconic of leftists everywhere.
Thank you.
Please explain my “display of hate and rage”. I am nearly pointing out an obvious thing this post wasted so many words on. People are racist. Do you disagree?
Just read your comments.
You display hate and rage every day on the good professor’s blog.
Talk about lack of self-awareness.
Upstate,
Bob is a very ineffective troll Like Dennis, he never defends his posts. Because they are uninformed and stupid.
I defend every post. What I write are facts. It seems people on this site don’t like facts.
Trump said he would encourage Russia to invade any NATO country that didn’t pay its “NATO bills”.
Trump has been found liable for sexual assault on one woman, there are over 20 other woman that have claimed sexual assault by trump
trump mocked Nikki Haileys husband for not being there while her husband is deployed with the National Guard.
trump called McCain a looser because he got shot down and caught by the North Vietnamese.
trump claimed he won the 2020 election and lost 60+ court cases that he claimed there was fraud but has yet to this day to produce any evidence of fraud
trump said grab em by the pussy may be good may be bad
trump buried his ex wife in his golf course.
there are racist people from every cultural background and every skin color. Most aren’t racist, but some are.
So please tell me, which of the above is not true?
And also, which of those statements above show that I am a “Progressive left”
You’re also the same troll, as if anyone had any doubt, who adopts the sealioning troll, that and your multicolor avatar of “Bob”. Well done
CTHD is living in your head rent free.
Time for the meds, bob. You are making biden sound intelligent.
Interesting. I post facts and ask you to tell me what I have incorrect. Your response? Call me names. Wow. what intelligence you possess I can see you learned from trump well. That is all he does. Heap praise on someone until they cross him then he hurls insults. Real intelligence there.
Bob, are you so dumb you can’t provide an accurate quote or quote in context?
Iowan2,
Well said and good points.
Repeat after me…Who’s Bob? After awhile the curiosity goes away. Just like Gigi (Natacha), Dennis, FishWings and Anonymous.
OLLY,
Well said and good point.
Bob, there is no question that you are a racist. I don’t blame you for racism. I blame you for your stupidity and not knowing what racism is. The only question I have is whether your hatred preceded your racism or whether your racism is the creator of your hatred.
Don’t blame Turley, it is progressives such as you who behave as if, and frequently claim, that the only racism of any import is white racism against people who exhibit darker skin pigmentation, who lack epicanthic folds, etc. That is why this reprehensible and indefensible speech is worthy of note here.
Did you read my comment? Obviously not. I said racists come in all colors. There are white racists, black racists, brown racists. If people had green skin I am sure some of them would be racist as well.
What is wrong with you people that you can’t even read a post and read the obvious intent. You Grima, are prime evidence of the stupidity of the people on this post. Read what I said. Racists come in all colors.
As a newbie, it sounds like you have maybe made a reputation for yourself saying trollish, bad things to such a degree, that even when you say something intelligent, nobody listens to you. I recall an old story about that, The Boy Who Cried Wolf. When a wolf actually did come, he just became, The Boy Who Cried.
Funny how writing truthful things about trump gets you labeled a troll.
“Funny how writing truthful things about trump gets you labeled a troll.”
Funny, Bob, the reason you get labeled a troll is that you are unable to back up what you say. The reason is that you seldom have the quote right, and rarely is it in context. That is a sign of a liar or one who lacks intellect.
@Bob
You do such a great job of beclowning yourself, nothing further is necessary.
James,
Well said.
Bob, you are truly a useful idiot
TDS from a hate filled anti American traitor simpleton
If nothing else, the prog/left continues to show just how unhinged and psychopathic they are. Hate-filled and indoctrinated in a false, pernicious ideology; the prog/left has become a danger to society.
No wonder we have Trans shooters and WOKE idiots.
It comes from the Marist Education System.
It isn’t even the racism inherent in his remarks that bother me – it’s the utter lack of depth to his thinking. This is still more evidence that we are falling off a cliff of ignorance and deficiency, and with each generation it gets progressively worse. My eye is on broader society, and the implications for everyone that lives in it as ratios shift in this regard. It was already a tough challenge; generationally we are careening toward insurmountable.
it’s the utter lack of depth to his thinking.
I had a similar reaction James. Completely unsophisticated. It was such a mash-up of every racist, anti-white verbal attack that it seemed almost a Babylon Bee parody.
When Tucker interviewed Putin every single commenter whined about the 30 minutes or hour of history.
They didn’t want to hear it, and they added near all people couldn’t sit through it.
So from every perch this is what the societal leaders demand. Those same of course claim to be highly intelligent and highly educated and knowledgeable.
Correct, and I am appalled at the number of ads for products like “Gramercy” that will edit your texts for spelling and grammatical errors. If you are a HS graduate, or, even worse, a college graduate and you need a computer program to assist you in meaningful intelligent composition, then you were never truly and completely educated and those institutions that passed you along should be exposed as failed institutions.
Dante represents the emotions of a leftist: psychopathic and crazy.
“The level of lying that White people do that has started since colonialism.” Obviously he has never met Obama, Rice, Powell, or Harris — just to mention the tip of the liar iceberg. Dante King seems like the poster child for psychopathy.
TBF, those are kinda white people. They pretend they always win/lose (ymmv) the coin flip.
Contrary to popular belief, racism is not limited to whites only.
Dante is a complete coward choosing to ply his racism on college campuses full of undeveloped minds. If he wishes to see white psychopathy he should take his soapbox to the small towns where he could get some feedback thus contributing to his further education.
As in “I wish he could spout this claptrap to Jason Aldean and then try that in a small town.
The left always projects:
“…behavior represents an underlying, biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their evolutionary history…”
You can’t make this stuff up. A fiction writer, in their wildest imagination could not begin to rival a non-fiction writer who simply describes human depravity and the depths of insanity to which they can sink.
Same blue print, different era.
Where have I seen this before? It seems so familiar. You could swap out the name Dante King with any of a dozen or more different race hustlers who recycle the same bile. They are the modern day version of the Welfare Queen of the 60s, who lived off society’s largess. In fact, his mother was probably a Welfare Queen with 12 kids, and his baby daddy a hustler; card shark, pimp, petty drug dealer, all around con man. Dante is the updated version, getting an affirmative action degree in an essentially worthless subject, then hustling “the man” for a few patronizing dollars to keep him in gold necklaces and a dashiki; Hennessy and blunts. And to complete the picture, you have the cowed white liberals with “kick me” signs on their backs, meekly applauding this clown.
He does not care what the White audience thinks. Good to know. Every day gets me closer to reciprocating.
I went to this guys web site. He has a BA in African studies, and a masters in education.
That’s it
From minutes of research, we are looking at an Obama clone. A black P.T. Barnum. The man knows exactly who his mark is.
He has filled the need of universities, govt and big business, of pandering to blacks.
Make no mistake. His schtick is giving blacks an excuse for their paltry existence.
What I never see hucksters like King explain, is why Black Immigrants out perform Whites.
The facts are here. It is not the color of the skin. It is the utter lack of character, as modeled by
King, sentencing blacks to poverty.
King refuses debate. Thomas Sowell could give him a real lesson. Alas, King does not want information. It only ruins the con.
Make to mistake. The Race Hustle is a con. Like BLM founders, and Obama, King is getting his mansions from the pockets of the poorest of blacks.
Respectfully, aren’t King’s mansions being financed by white-hating whites in liberal institutions/corporations?
Directly, yes, Whites paying the Danegeld. I was thinking further down stream as to the lack of funds then available where they are SUPPOSED to be needed. Yet DEI has sucked up $billions in cash. Just so whites can be lectured to, by the likes of Dante King.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to expand my thought, and your input into Kings grift.
King looks to be nothing more than a self-promoting DEI guy. Just read his bio on his website, it is strikingly similar to what you would expect a high school student equipped with AI to produce as a finished product for the first assignment in his beginning rhetoric class. Typical of the Bio: Dante “has donated, to date, more than $100k in resources to over 15 men.”. Care to detail what those “resources” were Dante? Were they copies of your books and lectures?
Much could be said but why waste the time and breath other than to say Dante is one of the many con men to have figured out the game ‘Hating for Dollars’. His “Bio” all but states that. And UCSF apparently supports such con efforts. Another reason the stay out of CA.
It’s worse than that. The students couldn’t just sit and listen politely, he pressured them to assent to his views by raising hands then by repeating his phrases. Can you imagine if you were sitting there, looking at your friends and fellow students ? It’s a gross form of bullying.
I would have raised my hand…but with only one finger showing.
🤣🤙
Clearly, you are not one of the tormented and psychologically traumatized “students” of today! You need to keep in mind many, if not most, of these “students” did poorly in public high school, public grade school was essentially baby sitting at taxpayer expense, a significant number can barely read and comprehend (Dante’s prey) , skipped out on college entrance exams and had to undergo remedial class work to get into and stay in college. And do you seriously think that crowd would be giving anyone the ‘finger’ in public without a mask on?
Diversity (i.e. color judgment, class bigotry), Equivocation, and Indoctrination (DEI) justified by Critical Racists’ Theory (CRT) denies individual dignity, individual conscience, individual value. Tear down that Rainbow banner, white (i.e. albino) Lives Matter. #BabyLivesMatter(BLM) #HateLovesAbortion
Diversity of individuals, minority of one.
“King should be protected by free speech values and campuses should be places where a wide variety of viewpoints are heard.“
I recall a man named James Watson (father of DNA) whose credentials are far superior than Kings made a remark based on his scientific findings. Anyone remember what happened to him when he exercised his free speech regarding his research?
The USA is living a lie and is destroying itself, and near all the West is doing the same thing.
White genocide is on the march worldwide, and whites are maybe 6.5%-10% of world population and still dropping as other races explode in population numbers.
In 1914 34.5% of the Worlds Population was White. Over 1/3rd just 100 years ago. Now less than 1/10th.
The waters are shark infested and swimming in the blood of whites.
We see the worldwide successful plot to infiltrate and debase to brown all white nations on earth. Few are resisting and they are relentlessly attacked.
Some call it the Kalergi plan.
Low IQ psychopathic blacks like Dante King are so narcissistic and lacking in self-awareness that literally every bad trait they project onto whites is a personal description of themselves. And the college is run by idiots to give a platform to such an evil, racist buffoon.
Which month is White History month?
I forgot.
All months. We earned it. No white European “colonizers” in the western world…no western world for folks to migrate to for a better life and a chance to escape the animalistic “civilizations” from which they hail.
