What's funny is it is mainly white people who come up with all this nonsense that non-white people are supposedly offended by or oppressed with.  Clearly, white people care more about this so called oppression and privilege than the actual people it supposedly negatively affects.  I think white people now have too much time on their hands....way too soft if they can come up with this nonsense.  Hell, white people seem intent on their own disenfranchisement.  I wish all these 'white people' who realize what a scourge they are to the planet would off themselves.

1. Reason is good.

2. Reason is racist.

3. Racism is good.

If reason is a construct, how did the good professor reach this conclusion?  Did he use reason?  Then his theory that reason is a construct is also a construct.

It's just liberal paternalistic racism.  Some white guy in his ivory tower is trying to come up with an explanation as to why those poor brown people just can't make it.  So he makes an incoherent theory trying to explain it.  All the other guilty, racist white liberals will agree because they need an explanation for their racism which does not justify their racism, if that makes sense.

Quoted:
A philosophy and religion professor at Syracuse University gave an interview to The New York Times Thursday in which he critiqued the notion of pure reason as simply being a "white male Euro-Christian construction.”


Prof. John Caputo was being interviewed by fellow philosophy professor George Yancy for the 13th installment of an interview series Yancy conducts with philosophers regarding racial topics.


Given its emphasis on first principles and abstract thought, it may be tempting to view academic philosophy as a turf where the race of participants matters little, but Caputo says that’s entirely untrue. In fact, race is of central importance, and it’s proven by the mundane phrases philosophers use.


"‘White’ is of the utmost relevance to philosophy, and postmodern theory helps us to see why,” Caputo says in the interview. "I was once criticized for using the expression ‘true north.’It reflected my Nordo-centrism, my critic said, and my insensitivity to people who live in the Southern Hemisphere. Of course, no such thing had ever crossed my mind, but that points to the problem. We tend to say ‘we’ and to assume who ‘we’ are, which once simply meant ‘we white male Euro-Christians.’

So is professor Caputo saying non-while people are irrational / incapable of logic?  If so, that is pretty easy to disprove pretty conclusively.

The fact he is part of the NYT pool of academic loonies should be the first clue to completely dismiss him out of hand. I remember reading an NYT article on nutrition where one of these boobs who was a professor claimed to live on air and an occasional glass of his own urine. Ah who's more ignorant the academic or the "journalist" that reports this garbage.

It is irrelevant where everyone lives, that does not change the fact that north is north and south is south. True north is a compass term, it carries no bias or prejudice with it.





I did once ask a woman from South America if all the maps down there had North at the Top and South at the bottom.  She told me of a comic strip where the character went around and flipped all the maps upside down so South was at the top. Made perfect sense to me, but that still does not reflect any Nordo-centrism.  ITS A FREAKING DIRECTION!!

The scary part is I'll bet his theory is coherent and he can sit before a thesis panel and defend it.

The only person I ever encountered who used the phrase true north to describe something other than a heading was Ted Nugent. It's his moral code. It's pretty simple stuff. Don't lie, respect God, respect your neighbors, don't use drugs, don't wreck the place.

The funny part is that he said the whole thing came to him from hanging learning about Indians.

If you think about it, that's an incredibly racist thing to say, and it's racist in the truest sense of the word. This guy is saying that reason is foreign to non-whites, and that the white mind "invented" reason. Therefore, non-whites were unreasoning until the superior white man came and taught him how to reason.

This should be all over social media. It's about time to show the left for what it is: the nastiest, most vicious racists the world has ever seen. It is historically true and well-documented.

Have you read modern scholarly philosophy?  It will be so obtuse that no one, not even other academics can understand it, but they will all pretend to understand it and heap praise upon it on the off chance that someone else understands it and finds it brilliant.  Seriously, take this example of modern "scholarly thought."

 




Total presence breaks on the univocal predication of the exterior absolute the absolute existent (of that of which it is not possible to univocally predicate an outside, while the equivocal predication of the outside of the absolute exterior is possible of that of which the reality so predicated is not the reality, viz., of the dark/of the self, the identity of which is not outside the absolute identity of the outside, which is to say that the equivocal predication of identity is possible of the self-identity which is not identity, while identity is univocally predicated of the limit to the darkness, of the limit of the reality of the self). This is the real exteriority of the absolute outside: the reality of the absolutely unconditioned absolute outside univocally predicated of the dark: the light univocally predicated of the darkness: the shining of the light univocally predicated of the limit of the darkness: actuality univocally predicated of the other of self-identity: existence univocally predicated of the absolutely unconditioned other of the self. The precision of the shining of the light breaking the dark is the other-identity of the light. The precision of the absolutely minimum transcendence of the dark is the light itself/the absolutely unconditioned exteriority of existence for the first time/the absolutely facial identity of existence/the proportion of the new creation sans depth/the light itself ex nihilo: the dark itself univocally identified, i.e., not self-identity identity itself equivocally, not the dark itself equivocally, in "self-alienation,” not "self-identity, itself in self-alienation” "released” in and by "otherness,” and "actual other,” "itself,” not the abysmal inversion of the light, the reality of the darkness equivocally, absolute identity equivocally predicated of the self/selfhood equivocally predicated of the dark (the reality of this darkness the other-self-covering of identity which is the identification person-self).

So the next time someone wipes their ass with something besides their hand they can thank a white male and then just keep on thanking us from there as their day goes on.

Take the white male out of human history and human history looses everything down to flush toilets.
