Berkeley Professor Calls For The Abolition Of White People

BERKELEY, Calif. (TND) — Critics are blasting a Berkeley professor after a video of him lecturing about the abolishment of “whiteness” and “white people” resurfaced this week.

“To abolish whiteness is to abolish white people,” Professor Zeus Leonardo, an associate dean at Berkeley’s Graduate School of Education, can be heard saying in the video. “That's very uncomfortable perhaps, but it asks about our definitions of what race is and what racial justice might mean.”

Christopher Rufo, a Manhattan Institute senior fellow and director of the institute’s initiative on “critical race theory,” argued such language about the abolishment of “whiteness” and white people “should be stigmatized, not subsidized by taxpayers.”
