[Biden] said their work is “so important” and “conversations like these are essential.”
“Whiteness is a public health crisis…”
“Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.”
The Root
Endorses Anti-White Racism
Brittney Cooper, an associate professor in Rutgers University’s Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Africana studies, spoke recently in a conversation called “Unpacking The Attacks on Critical Race Theory” with Michael Harriot, a senior writer at The Root. The Root is a Black publication focused on racial issues. During the event, Cooper made a whole series of racist comments about white people including, “The thing I want to say to you is we got to take these motherf-ckers out but like, we can’t say that right?”
The event at which Cooper spoke was introduced by Joe Biden who congratulated The Root for conducting it. He went on to stress how this event was contributing to ensuring “equal dignity” for all. To date, the White House has issued no clarification of Biden’s comments and has not suggested that Biden found Cooper’s comments offensive in any way.
