Michelle Malkin: America's Nutty Professor of Anti-White Rage
By Michelle Malkin | November 3, 2021 | 10:50am EDT
Brittney Cooper — sorry, that's Dr. Brittney Cooper — certainly takes the cake for the nation's worst tenured radical (at least for this week, until the next academic nutjob erupts).
Armed with a Bachelor of Arts in English and political science from Howard University and a doctorate in American Studies from Emory University, the Rutgers women's studies and Africana studies professor sure can holler. Cooper made headlines this week after her unrepentant hatred of white people went viral. Among the many dispassionate scholarly observations she shared with attendees of an online critical race theory conference were these:
— "I think that white people are committed to being villains in the aggregate."
— "Their thinking is so murky and spiritually bankrupt."
— "The thing I want to say to you is we got to take these motherf*****s out."
— "White people's birth rates are going down...because they literally cannot afford to put their children, newer generations, into the middle class....It's super perverse, and also they kind of deserve it."
The Root Institute (a confab created to "advance the agenda of Black Americans" by editors of The Root online magazine, whose motto is "The Blacker the Content The Sweeter the Truth") hyped the rant session as a "healthy dose of reality." The "institute" effusively praised Cooper's "masterful and unabashed ability to speak truth to power." It's amusing, of course, that she's allowed to breathe any word about the Great Replacement, let alone gloat about the demographic decline — while left-wing character assassins at the Anti-Defamation League and Georgetown University Bridge Initiative accuse me of "normalizing white supremacy" or trafficking in "conspiracy theories" for decrying the very same phenomenon.
But that is how the social justice cookie crumbles.
In the interest of bending over backward to be fair, let's pretend Cooper was just having a bad day or was caught off guard. Perhaps her true academic self is hidden in on-camera interviews and can be found in her published work. Her most recent book, "Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower," was named a "Best Book of 2018" by the New York Public Library and hailed by, um, noted public intellectual Joy Reid of MSNBC as "a dissertation on black women's pain and possibility."
"Dissertation," whoa! Must be some deep-thinking, highbrow research there. I rushed to read the opening lines of Cooper's "Eloquent Rage" and found...yet more profane spouting and spewing:
"This is a book by a grown-a** woman written for other grown-a** women. This is a book for women who expect to be taken seriously and for men who take grown women seriously. This is a book for women who know s*** is f***ed up.... What I have is anger. Rage, actually....Owning anger is a dangerous thing if you're a fat Black girl like me."
I then wandered on over to Cooper's collection of published academic writings on Google Scholar and sifted through titles such as "SlutWalks v. Ho Strolls," "Disrespectability Politics: On Jay-Z's B****, Beyonce's 'Fly'A** and Black Girl Blue," and "Feminism for Bada**es" in elite journals such as the Crunk Feminist Collective and Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society.
Cooper touts her rigorously researched work on "representations of Black women in popular culture, including a piece on the representation of the 'baby mama' figure in Hip Hop music and film; the feminist implications of Janet Jackson's 2004 Super Bowl mishap; and the importance of Michelle Obama in the tradition of Black female leadership." She and two other black feminist loudmouth professors also joined to produce "Feminist AF (that's an offensive slang term): A Guide to Crushing Girlhood" targeting "loud and rowdy girls, quiet and nerdy girls...queer girls, trans girls, and gender nonbinary young people" — published by the once-esteemed book conglomerate W. W. Norton & Co.
Wokeness has made a complete and irreversible joke of higher education. Yet, too many Boomers and their Gen-X progeny continue to push their college-age kids and grandkids into these cauldrons of insanity.
"There are some solid schools left in the country," they tell themselves. "The toxicity isn't as prevalent in STEM fields," they insist. "A B.A. degree is still worth it for my children," they rationalize. "If we just wish race-consciousness and racial realities away, America will be OK," they fantasize.
News flash: Anti-white, anti-male, and anti-American cancer in academia has reached Stage IV. What more evidence do you need to wake up and walk away.

‘We Got to Take These Motherf*ckers Out:’ Rutgers U. Prof Praises Low White Birth Rates
Rutgers University professor Brittney Cooper called white people “villains” at an online conference and praised low white birth rates, adding, “We got to take these motherfuckers out.” The professor also claimed that “Critical Race Theory is just the proper teaching of American history.”
Cooper said, “We got to take these motherfuckers out” during an online conference titled “Unpacking The Attacks On Critical Race Theory” last month, according to a report by Daily Mail.

The professor added that whiteness “totally skews our view of everything,” and that she “thinks that white people are committed to being villains.”
“They fear that there is no other way to be human than the way in which they are human,” Cooper said of white people, adding that whenever she talks to a white person, they dismiss “all of this power” as simply a part of “human nature.”
“They do this thing where they say that how white people have done humanity — how they have acted as human beings — is the way all of us act. So they think black people are going to get them back,” she said.
“And I wouldn’t be mad at the black people who want to get them back, but what I believe about black people is that we have seen what a shit show this iteration of treatment of other human beings means,” Cooper added. “And my hope is that we would do it differently in the moments when we have some power.”
The professor was reportedly speaking to The Root Institute’s Michael Harriot, who was seen nodding in an apparent agreement as she spoke.
The professor also touched upon the topic of white people having children, saying “White people’s birth rates are going down — because they literally cannot afford to put newer generations into the middle class.”
“They kind of deserve it,” Cooper reportedly added, with a smile on her face.
At another point, the professor told Harriot, “The thing I want to say to you is, ‘We got to take these motherfuckers out,’ but, like, we can’t say that,” before claiming that she “doesn’t believe in a project of violence.”
“Despite what white people think of themselves, they do not define the laws of eternity,” added Cooper, who went on to call whiteness an “inconvenient interruption” in history.
“Their projects are not so sophisticated,” the professor said, adding that she “showed up” in this point of history “precisely so that we could help to figure out an end and a way to the other side of this gargantuan historical tragedy that is white supremacy.”
Cooper also mentioned Critical Race Theory, insisting that “kids actually can grasp” the curriculum — which parents across the country have condemned as racist — adding that “the right” is upset that “Critical Race Theory is just the proper teaching of American history.”
The professor added that the so-called accurate portrayal of history is that white people “didn’t discover America,” because indigenous people were already here, and that whites had “committed acts of violence in order to make yourselves seem superior.”
Last year, Cooper proclaimed “Fuck each and every Trump supporter” in response to a campaign to end Chinese coronavirus-related shutdowns.
Cooper is an associate professor in Rutgers’ Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and teaches courses including “Black Feminism,” and “Black Intellectual Thought,” among others, according to the university’s website.

The Myth of White Privilege
Throughout academia, the corporate world, and government, leaders are pushing the notion that American society advantages whites and disadvantages blacks. The notion of white privilege, though, is mistaken, thereby rendering worthless much of the teaching and underlying research.
In 1989, Wellesley College’s Peggy McIntosh published her influential article, “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.” This article tied in with a group she founded, Seeking Educational Equity & Diversity (SEED). Since 1986, SEED has trained 2,200 teachers and professors in more than 40 countries. As a result, her work has influenced and will continue to influence millions of students.
The notion of white privilege intersects with other areas of teaching and research, including Critical Race Theory, white fragility, and whiteness studies. For example, Westfield State University’s Robin DiAngelo’s book, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism (2018) focuses on white people’s defensiveness when their whiteness or racial worldview is mentioned. It was a bestseller for more than a year. It along with other books form a new canon of literature focusing on racism, white defensiveness, and white privilege. Other books include Ibram X. Kendi’s How to Be an Antiracist (2019) (24 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list), Carol Anderson’s White Rage (2016) (won the 2016 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism), and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me (2015) (twice topped the bestseller list and was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize).
University of Michigan’s Dan Lowe defines privilege as the advantage a person has because of membership in a social group in a context when membership should not normally matter. The issue is whether white (or Asian) people benefit from white privilege.
There is little reason to believe that racial injustice caused the lion’s share of white-black differences. Racial groups differ in their cultural environment. According to the Center for Equal Opportunity, in 2018 40% of births in the United States were out of wedlock. The particular out-of-wedlock birth rates were 11.7% for Asians, 69% for blacks, 52% for Hispanics, 68% for Native Americans, and 28% for whites. According to the Brooking Institution’s Isabel Sawhill, children raised by single mothers are less likely to graduate, 
do worse in school, have more physical and psychological problems, are more likely to be involved in crime, and so on. The out-of-wedlock birth rates in the black community have been skyrocketing over the decades even as alleged racism has been plummeting. In addition, the general ordering of out-of-wedlock birth rates likely tracks the countries from which people came. Hence, it is unlikely that racism explains most, let alone all, of these differences.
Next, consider intelligence. Since 1970, Oxford University’s Nathan Cofnas points out that if we exclude children, the black-white IQ gap has remained roughly constant, at approximately one standard deviation. This is a big gap. IQ matters because it correlates with crime, education, jobs, marriage, out-of-wedlock childbearing, and so on. There is a heated debate as to whether genetics cause some of the gap. It is worth noting that anonymous surveys indicate that a significant percentage of experts in intelligence think this is so. See, for example, Heiner Rindermann and colleagues’ 2016 and 2020 studies. Even if the gap is 100% environmental, it does not follow that racism alone explains it.
The white privilege proponents might claim that these differences result from, and only from, racism, whether past or present. However, this claim rests on the notion that we can compare the role of racism to other causes such as blameworthy choices, non-racist cultural differences, and genetics. If these causes cannot be factored out, and neither proponents nor others have done so, their claim is purely speculative.
Even if there were white privilege, it would not matter morally. As philosopher Spencer Case points out, the mere fact that one group is doing better than a second is morally irrelevant. Attractive people likely have advantages in dating, employment, income, sex, etc. when compared to their unattractive competitors. The same is true for tall people. Attractive and tall people should not feel guilty about their advantages, try to nullify them, or pay compensation for them. This is because they did not violate their competitors' rights or commit other types of injustice.
Case points out that the best account of privilege (an advantage a person has due to membership in a social group in a context when membership should not normally matter) depends on a theory of when membership should matter. This depends on when attractiveness, height, or race should matter. And this in turn depends on what one thinks should matter regarding personal decisions (for example, dating, friendship, and marriage) and policies (for example, education, imprisonment, and welfare). Whether something is a privilege, then, depends on what individuals and governments should do. That is, it is a conclusion of moral reasoning rather than something that should guide it.
The white privilege movement is mistaken. Whites are not privileged over blacks. Even if they were, nothing should be done about it.

Exclusive – Rep. Mo Brooks: Stephen Colbert Lies. I Wore Bulletproof Vest on Januarys 6 Because of Threats Against Me from BLM, Antifa
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), who is running for the U.S. Senate seat from Alabama, told Breitbart News on Friday that he wore a “bulletproof vest” on January 6 due to threats against him from Antifa and Black Lives Matter, saying CBS’s Stephen Colbert and the broader left dishonestly frame his wearing of body armor on that day as evidence of advance knowledge of how the day’s events would unfold at the Capitol.
On Tuesday, Colbert referenced a recent attempt by Rolling Stone — relayed by Alabama Local News and the Daily Beast — to link Brooks to violence at the Capitol, regularly framed as an “insurrection” by Democrats and leftist news media.
“Stephen Colbert — and it seems like the entire left-wing — they just lie freely,” Brooks stated on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. “On January 6, at the Ellipse rally, which is one-and-a-half miles from the United States Capitol, I wore an armored vest, a bulletproof vest — although technically, they’re not really bulletproof, but they help — and I wore it because the socialist left-wing radicals in society have uttered any number of threats of violence — to include death — against members of the United States Congress, including myself.”
Brooks recalled the mass murder attempt carried out by James Hodgkinson, a leftist supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), against Republicans in 2017 at a practice game for a charitable event.
He stated, “And I’ve been shot at before on the baseball field. So you’ve got to take these threats seriously. Certainly, if you saw the carnage — five innocent people getting shot by a socialist madman — then you have to be concerned, and my office had received from the Capitol Police warnings [and] advisories that we needed to be a little bit safer because of threats from Black Lives Matter, Antifa, or [other] socialist left-wing [groups].”
“So my staff and my wife wanted me to wear a bulletproof vest, so I did,” he added. “Now, Stephen Colbert and the radical left, they’re just lying about why I wore that vest. There’s saying that I had a heads up there’s going be an attack on the Capitol. The falsity of their attack is blatantly clear because as soon as I got through speaking at the Ellipse and got back to my office — which was sometime between 9:30 and 10 o’clock — I took off the bulletproof vest.”

He concluded, “I felt perfectly secure at the United States Capitol. I had no inkling as to what was going to be coming down the pike … but Stephen Colbert and the leftists want to lie about all this and falsely claim that somehow or another, we Republicans had a heads up that this was coming, when that’s the furthest thing from the truth, and there is zero evidence supporting that outrageous deception.”
