What’s also interesting is how their attacks on western culture are labeled attacks on (so-called) white culture. This attack on the nuclear family is labeled an attack on the (so-called) white nuclear family.

Slanted? Read her tweets. She outright says that having a white family furthers white priveledge.
She also thinks interracial marriage is a social ill. She has literally taken up the same position as klan members.
I thought we fought the interracial marriage battle in the 60’s. If quoting ridiculous third wave feminists/intersectionalists exact words amounts to defaming them… that’s really their fault.

Yes, the story presents her tweets in as slanted and inflammatory a manner as possible.
Is she wrong on that score?
I don’t think she says that at all.
Hardly. The Klan’s objections to miscegenation are based on spurious notions of ‘race mixing.’ She certainly isn’t espousing anything like that. In fact, I see nothing in her tweets to suggest she objects to interracial marriage/families.
I would venture to say that anyone who marries a non white and procreates with them and forms a stable nuclear family has “dealt with their own racism.” Her comments come from a place that assumes all whites are racist.

And if you read what she is actually saying it isn’t just about white families or interracial families but the idea of the nuclear family in general. It’s just that these people need to affix the white label to everything they attack to disguise what they really are attacking. She has a problem with the nuclear family so it’s very simplistic and convenient to label it white and thus make it about racism.
“outright worship of ‘the sanctity of the family’ which pervades pop culture,”
She criticizes the NBC hit drama “This Is Us” as part of the “ideological apparatus” that emphasizes “how f-cking [sic] sacred the family is.”

What she says about the family is almost more troublesome to me than her kooky comments about race. Her ideas on family are antithetical to everything I value most.
This is probably one of her students.
My kids now have several Hispanic cousins. Next time we get invited to a family BBQ, I guess we should decline. #StayInYourLane

Having a “white” family only furthers white privilege if white privilege actually exists. It does not.

Marxists must tear down the nuclear family, religious and social institutions, tradition etc… because they are what makes societies work. When you break a society and foment social unrest, then you present the solution of government.
The communist party in the US used to employ hookers and bring them to union get togethers. Their job was to sleep with married men.

Agree. At the least.
Any color person having a stable nuclear family gives the kids a better chance. That would give the offspring a “privilege” over bastard children in broken homes. That isn’t unjust. The color doesn’t matter.

Yes. If you are white and a friend who is black invites you to a brown or black space (whatever the hell that even is) you should decline so they think you have a problem with people of color.
The white person who posted that is an example of an actual racist. She is saying when a black person invites a white person to a “black or brown” space he should “know better” and decline. Why is it the white person is the one who should know better? She is saying that the friend of color doesn’t know any better.

That’s a reasonable venture, but not a slam dunk. I think the prof would argue that the ability of a white person to pair-bond with an AA is not (as you seem to suggest) prima facie evidence that the white person has let go of all of their white privilege, and therefore hasn’t ‘dealt with their own racism.’
Perhaps she feels that way (she doesn’t indicate definitively one way or the other). But I would agree that she assumes all whites experience white privilege.
What does she say about the family that strikes you as particularly “kooky”?
That’s not really the issue here. The issue is, when the prof asserts that ‘having a white family furthers white privilege,’ is she wrong? I’d be interested to hear you address that specifically.

A. White privilege does not exist.
B. If it did exist how exactly would a white person rid themselves of it?
C. The professor is herself an example of a racist. A racist against blacks, that is. I wouldn’t want my black kids looking to her for inspiration or education. She is part of the problem and not the solution.
The goal is to tear down society as it exists outside of government so that it can/must be replaced replaced by society within the reach of government.

Jesus Christ I hope you’re trolling here…let me rephrase the assertion.
"I mean, if you’re a white person who says they’re engaged in dismantling white supremacy, you’re breathing while being white + reproducing white children that are breathing – how is that helping + not part of the problem?”

Neo-Marxist, postmodernism playing the race card to further their political agenda.

I used the word troublesome, and that’s was me being very kind.
"…diminishing the “marxist-feminist critique of The Family as an inherently conservative force in society.” - I assume by conservative, she means some thing very negative that should be torn down. Also, I would not subscribe to anyone giving a Marxist critique of the family.
She criticizes the NBC hit drama “This Is Us” as part of the “ideological apparatus” that emphasizes “how f-cking [sic] sacred the family is.”
The family is sacred to me. I wouldn’t use the F word in that sentence.
Is this where you dismiss my concerns? Defend her? Tell me that I’ve misunderstood her? You know a fair bit about my values. Her ideas make me feel ill. I wouldn’t want her anywhere near the value development of my children.

She’s just mad that she’s ragged out and universally rejected by the BBC.
My sister went through the same phase.
She’s so open minded that she figured out a way to celebrate diversity while simultaneously being racist as fuck.

I never had a critical race theory course and thus don’t know the accepted definition of white privilege. From wikipedia:
“White privilege (or white skin privilege) is a term for societal privileges that benefit people identified as white in some countries, beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. Academic perspectives such as critical race theory and whiteness studies use the concept of “white privilege” to analyze how racism and racialized societies affect the lives of white or white-skinned people.”
Notice the phrase ‘beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political, or economic circumstances’.
My argument is that a white stable nuclear family has no advantage over a black stable nuclear family all other things being equal.
How you have your kids and build your families is a choice. It’s not something society imposes on you.
Yes, she is wrong. Just because someone is white does not mean they have privilege.
Pick any scenario where they are extremely poor, trailer home…etc. A baby born from two white parents with the mom on drugs is quite unprivileged.
Exactly.
