According To Professor Kennedy, Being White Is A Problem

A professor here at the University of Nebraska at Omaha held a workshop titled "Anti-Racist Allies Workshop". The professor who ran this workshop is Tammie Kennedy who can best be described as a professional useless person. Her areas of research include feminist rhetoric and whiteness studies (yes, apparently it is a real thing). The description of the workshop focused only on "whiteness" and so I had the urge to attend. To put it gently, this workshop was the biggest pile of cow manure that I have ever seen in my life, and my uncle owns cattle. It was like watching a Huffington Post article come to life. I almost had a brain aneurysm listening to her and others in the room.

I took notes during the workshop and here are just a few of them:

Believed Ferguson was "whiteness against progress"

They forgot to mention that Michael Brown robbed a store and assaulted a cop. They also forgot to mention that violent crime went up following the justified shooting.

Whiteness is haunting and becoming a big problem

Uhm, first off no. It is only a big problem because you and other ignorant leftists made it up. What do I know, I am just so full of white privilege.

I must recognize my white privilege and learn how to dismantle it

"I will take ridiculous statements for 400 Alex." I am not going to check my privilege.

Intersectionality is important

Much like Identity politics, intersectionality is nonsense.

Side note, there was a math professor there who tried to tell me that Keynesian Economics works. Pro tip: never trust someone who agrees with Keynesian Economics.

The entire workshop was nothing but subjective statements not backed by logic or facts preached to an audience of beta males and depressed Hillary Supporters. To other UNO students, be careful because Tammie is not the only ridiculous professor on this campus.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
