University of Minnesota's 'child development' program provides resources to 'halt' the 'whiteness pandemic'

A website belonging to the "Culture and Family Lab" at Minnesota’s flagship university hosts a webpage warning against a "whiteness pandemic" that provides "resources" on how to "halt and reverse" the issue.

"If you were born or raised in the United States, you have grown up in the Whiteness Pandemic, and you can play a role in halting and reversing this pandemic, especially if you are White because of the power and privilege you hold in this racialized society," explains the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities webpage, which is part of the Institute of Child Development.

"If you were socialized into the culture of Whiteness during childhood, it is not your fault, but as an adult it is now your responsibility to self-reflect, re-educate yourself, and act. If you are a White adult, antiracist action involves an ongoing process of self-reflection in order to develop a healthy positive White identity while engaging in courageous antiracist parenting/caregiving."

Parents rights' watchdog Defending Education put out a report on Tuesday outlining the university's efforts.

The website goes on to explain that racism should be viewed as an "epidemic" or "pandemic" but that "another" pandemic is "lurking" behind and driving that issue. The "whiteness pandemic."

Several experts are listed on the website, some of whom provide resources on the subject, including some subject matter meant "especially for white parents" mentioning the death of George Floyd, along with tips on how to develop a "healthy white racial identity."

"Whiteness refers to culture, not biology: the centuries-old culture of Whiteness features colorblindness, passivity, and White fragility, which are all covert expressions of racism common in the United States," the university says.

"Naming the Whiteness Pandemic shifts our gaze from the victims and effects of racism onto the systems that perpetrate and perpetuate racism, starting with the family system. At birth, young children growing up in White families begin to be socialized into the culture of Whiteness, making the family system one of the most powerful systems involved in systemic racism."

One of the papers on the website that surveyed mostly liberal White female mothers with an average income over $125,000, concluded that "Family socialization into the centuries-old culture of Whiteness – involving colorblindness, passivity, and fragility – perpetrates and perpetuates U.S. racism, reflecting an insidious Whiteness pandemic."

Funding for the project comes from a variety of sources, including the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

Other resources listed on the site include literature from Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, along with a link titled, "How to explain white privilege in terms simple enough for a child."

Rhyen Staley, research director at Defending Education, told Fox News Digital, "This far-left programming at a major public university is another example of how ingrained DEI is in higher education and is not going away any time soon."

Staley added, "It is not only concerning that these programs appear to still be up and running, but that absurd ideas like ‘whiteness’ also gain legitimacy through dubious activist-academic ‘scholarship.’ Universities must end this nonsense yesterday."

A University of Minnesota spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement that the school is "steadfast in its commitment to the principles of academic freedom."

Last month, Fox News Digital first reported on a report from Defending Education revealing that the University of Minnesota is supplying K-12 teachers with ethnic studies lessons that promote a variety of left-wing causes, including defunding the police, Black Lives Matter, and the dangers of "white supremacy" and "settler colonialism."

The NIMH needs to be reined in.

Thank goodness there someone with blue hair on their website: Whiteness Pandemic.

It appears that this is an older webpage that you can’t access by clicking links from parent webpages. In fact, scrolling down on the page linked above shows the research and papers the title is based on are from 2021.

Edited to add:

I’m wrong, there is a link on the parent page that does take you to this racist tripe.

I have failed my children


Stupid racist kids

Thank you for pointing out that being white is "not my fault." I suppose I should blame my parents and grand-parents for facilitating that tragic inconvenience. Perhaps we should do away altogether with the "family pandemic" that has been forced upon us by Mother Nature and make the Government responsible for raising all the children?

As a public university, they'd better have an alternative source of funding if they want to continue down this rabbit hole.

We knew that as their power crumbled, lefties would try some genuinely stupid and obvious shit. Only the hard core ignorant, and true idiots think this is any kind of good idea.

They believe they have an ideology, they do not.

What they have is something closer described as a liberal idiot-ology.

Gosh, here I am temporarily out of fucks...

My wife was just a little girl when her family moved to Arizona from Minnesota. I don’t begin to understand what happened to that state in my lifetime, but I’ve developed a pretty intense dislike for what ostensibly is a state in the midwest. When I was a kid, we took family vacations to the lake region of Minnesota, and I have fond memories. Added to a short list of states that I’m not planning to visit.

Off another thread from another forum, they're talking about 3rd world mongrels swarming into western Europe.

[begin quote]
Ireland is another example, I saw a video just yesterday and they are getting about 4% immigrants of the entire population every year.

In just 25 years they will be unrecognizable. A country that has been more or less the same for 2500 years in terms of language, race and basic customs.

Replacement is real.
[end quote]

The movement to eliminate Caucasians is happening on multiple levels and being facilitated by Caucasians. Incredible.

Minnesota appears to have the same leftism that Scandinavia has. Seems putting white people in the cold makes them more "collective". As long as the culture was somewhat homogenous the leftism didn't really cause that much trouble. But once they started importing 3rd worlders in massive numbers, suicidal empathy is taking over.

Any article stereotyping people based on skin color is racist, and those responsible should be held to the same standard as any other racist.

Insane. Delusional. Destructive.

I guess Minnesota nice is dead.

Am I a jerk for thinking it's funny that four out of five people pictured on the page are white?
Or is that just an illustration of their "problem?"

And what do they have in common besides shared historical-immigration ties....the Lutheran church.

Nothing that isn't wrong with any other culture...but who are we to point out obvious truth in the face of such compelling lies?

Racists apparently, that's who.

Only childless guilt-ridden liberal white cat ladies believe in this crap. Most black people don't have time it, except for the ones who have figured out a way to make a career profiting from that white guilt.

So what other culture would they prefer?

One that saws the heads off of anyone they please or throws gays off of tall buildings?

One that takes their POWs and dissects them while they are still alive?

One that gets upset that it is no longer safe to rob a convenience store?

Cutting the heart out of sacrifices for a 'sun god' of some kind is no big deal?

How's about having their emperor stop by as a cannibal and having the youngest available child prepared for dinner?

...So this is information from a Looniversity's 'culture and family lab' and a 'website' of some kind.

Apparently both of these things built themselves from nothingness as neither are being credited as having a staff member/designer/policymaker/administrator of any kind.

And to think, Minnesota has one of the largest groupings of individuals with ancestors that came from Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden), ancestral home of the Vikings, one of the most fearsome of peoples that ever has been.

And yes, as another individual stated that the Lutheran Church being a commonality. They, along with the Roman Catholic Church (Catholic Charities), pushed the FedGov for the resettlement of refugees from the Horn of Africa. Those religious organizations received subsidies from the FedGov for their efforts. Follow the Money !!!

The Church thinks the resettlement of refugees is a ministry. Helping people who are less fortunate, blah blah blah.
As a Catholic, I strongly disagree. I believe in borders and the rule of law.

I think charitable missions to third world countries is a noble thing, but not bringing 3rd world people to denigrate and destroy 1st world civilization.
