Why would there be a class on "the problem of blackness"? What would it even be about? How has a construct of "blackness" created systems that have oppressed tens of millions of individuals for the past centuries?
If you think the title of the class is inflammatory and "divisive!11" for being blunt on the effect that a construct has on minority groups and white people then you're probably not well-equipped to take the course don't you think? I thought yall were against hypersensitivity in research and educational environments?
