Good news, though, coming from our institutions, our institutions of higher learning. Because, look, it's not enough that we're able to say how bad racism is. We need safe spaces at our universities.

We need to be able to everyone go to university and it be free. We need to provide everyone with a higher learning education. What we need more of is people finding ways to divide us on college campuses. Right? Right. Just like Carla Erickson. Carla is a self-described feminist ethnographer. Right?

Is that how you say it? Ethnographer? Ethnographer? Hey, whatever. Same thing. Ethno, ethno. Don't look at me like that with your little, why can't you pronounce the words right?

Don't look at me like that. You're pissing me off now. Feminist, ethnographer. You know, look, she studies people, okay? You call it whatever you want to call. You can call it. ethnographer, you can call it ethnographer. She studies people, or so she claims.

But she's going to provide a course in Iowa at the great Grinnell College, who doesn't want to get a degree from Grinnell College. And if you have, you know, good for you. She's going to provide a class on

whiteness. Yes. She's going to explore whiteness as a specific racial formation with a distinct history, provocative and defensive politics and institutional and personal investments. American whiteness. I mean, that could be a Netflix show. I'll give you that. Maybe an Amazon show. American whiteness tonight. Now, they couldn't find a copy of how she's going to. teach or what she's going to teach during this class, but they did find one from a course in 2015.

And it's going to be great. It's going to be great. It's going to just criticize the idea of white people in general. I can't wait. I'm so sick of being a white guy. I really am. I'm sick of being the, I'm sick of being a white guy. It's going to facilitate a personal journey towards a better understanding of how whiteness functions in a racist nation.

Therefore, sincere attempts at working through whiteness will be rewarded. Yay! Yay! Now, there's no word if you go to Grinnell College that you're ever going to, you know, learn anything useful about, you know, maybe. getting a job or, you know, getting a degree in something that will help you. But good luck, good luck getting a job here in America. Did you, I see you've got a bachelor's degree. It doesn't say what you have a bachelor's degree.

And I have a bachelor's degree in American whiteness. Oh. Okay. Well, white on. That's my new, that's what we should. white on. Right? Hate white people. But, oh, okay, Mr. Bigshot.

This is a big shot. Okay, fine. I found the pronunciation of the word for you to prove that you're a wrong, idiot. Go ahead. Ethnography. Well, first of all, it's ethnography. No, she's an ethnographer, right? And it's not ethno. It's what she does, right?

Ethnography Seriously, why are you employed at this place? It's an ethnographer. Ethnography. The feminist ethographer. Ethnographer, I got it, shut up. I won't be able to say it right ever. Ever, I won't be able to do it now.

Sorry. But she's teaching a special class called American whiteness. Carla Erickson, Professor Carla Erickson, called American Whiteness. And she's going to start each class with King Shamir Shabazz. I hate white people. All of them. Every last iota of a cracker, I hate it. Welcome to American whiteness. Today we'll be stuttering. We'll be stuttering. is what we're going to be doing.

We're going to be stuttering through the class. And I'll be telling you exactly how much I hate white people. I hate all white people. I mean, I, king, my main man. Is that the only clip, just that little bit? Because he goes on and talks about coming up, talks about white cracker babies. And the whole clip is really good.

I mean, if we can get that before, I mean, I know we've only got three minutes, but if we can find the rest of that clip, because after he gets done saying this, I hate white people, all of them, every last iota of a cracker, I hate him. That was in Philadelphia, in front of a voting area. I don't know what election it was. I mean, you talk about, you know what, I'm going to go vote somewhere else, or, you know, not today.

I was going to go in there and vote, but you know what, not today. Come on, honey, let's go down and vote. I hate white people. All of them. Every last iota of a cracker, I hate it. You know, we could probably go vote later. We don't necessarily need to be around now. We'll wait until King Shamir Shabazz takes a break.

We'll wait for that. Otherwise, we're going to be listening to him and Professor Carla Erickson, American whiteness. Hello, my name is Professor Carla Erickson. Thank you for coming to American whiteness. First, I'd like to start out by saying this. I hate white people. All of them. Every last iota of a cracker, I hate it.
