NYC Department of Education: ‘Individualism’ Is ‘White Supremacy Culture’
 
TOM CICCOTTA 22 May 2019
 
The New York City Department of Education has instructed its teachers that “objectivity” and “individuals” are “white supremacist” concepts.

According to a report from the New York Times, Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza gave a presentation about “white supremacy” culture. In the lesson, Carranza claims that concepts like “perfectionism,” “paternalism,” and “objectivity” are part of “white supremacy culture.”

Surprisingly, documents from Carranza’s presentation do little to tie these concepts to “white supremacy.” A graphic from Carranza’s lesson explains why “objectivity” is a negative concept. “This can lead to the belief that there is an ultimate truth and that alternative viewpoints or emotions are bad, it’s even inherent in the ‘belief that there is such a thing as being objective,'” the graphic reads.

I see the chancellor is black so there is no possibility this is a racist attack by liberal New York!

According to racist Liberals like this, almost everything is White Supremacy. Civilization, Rule of Law, Basic Intelligence, Good Manners, Civility, The ability to speak correct English, Keeping a Clean House, Eating with plates and silverware, Having no Felony Record, Taking a Shower every day, Wearing clean clothes, Using Deodorant, all are White Supremacy traits.

Essentially, being a clean, normal, intelligent, educated human being, is White Supremacy. That is why Liberals apply the term White Supremacy to any race, including Black people. Because the way they use the term, it is not about race. It is about a wholesome, honorable, successful, way of life. That is what they hate, no matter who or what race you are.

The elevation and prominence of individualism was the heritage
of Greece and Rome as well as a legacy of western civilization.
In contrast, tribal communalism remains the trademark of third
world bastions such a Africa and South America.
The results are obvious as history proves.

Sometimes, I have thoughts that things like "individualism" or some institutions that we value seem to come from the British system, if not directly from the Brits, then, it was honed in America kind of a deal.  I don't think I'd call individualism even a European ideal, not for back then at least.

Yes, maybe this ideal also came from the Greeks and Romans, I'm not to argue about that and "Western Civilization".

------------------------------------
The attribute of individualism resonates throughout Plato's Republic and was
most prominent in Alexander, Demosthenes, Pericles, Solon; among very many!
Further it had even greater prominence in Imperial Rome given it's military heritage.
British attitudes and behaviors were formed by Rome who ruled Britannia from
Christ till the 5th century. In turn, it became our legacy after independence.

Well,in a way that is true. The white man,as a general rule has always been an ambitious risk-taker,and the blacks and browns are traditionally herd people compared to them.

That's why the whites,despite having always been a minority of the world population since time began ended up basically dominating the world.

It didn't happen because the white man is a swell tap-dancer.

Not really. It was mostly the Greeks that started advanced civilization in the west,followed by the Romans.

I don't know what you mean by "a deal",but civilization began in Europe. Civilization begins when people create farms, cities and nations and voluntarily band together for security.

 Roaming tribes are always barbarians.
