The College Fix recently reported on a virtual lecture from the University of Minnesota that advocated using a 12 step recovery program for people afflicted with “Whiteness.” Apparently Whiteness is like a drug and almost every person of European heritage is addicted to it, so why not use a 12 step program?
The University of Minnesota’s School of Social Work hosted a virtual lecture recently that aimed to teach white people about their white supremacy and how to counteract it by using a “12 step” program mirrored after the one used by people in Alcoholics Anonymous.
The two-hour “Recovery from White Conditioning” lecture, hosted through the school’s Center for Practice Transformation, featured therapist Cristina Combs.
Combs is a University of Minnesota alumnus who created the white supremacy 12 step program “after years of struggling to navigate the role and presence of whiteness in her personal, academic, and professional journeys,” according to the university’s website.
Here is the PDF of the entire presentation. Sitting through two hours of this anti-White indoctrination would be brutal.
Check out the 12 steps you would have to take to recover from your noxious Whiteness.
- “We admitted that we had been socially conditioned by the ideology of white supremacy.”
- “We came to believe that we could embrace our ignorance as an invitation to learn.”
- “We developed support systems to keep us engaged in this work.”
- “We journeyed boldly inward, exploring and acknowledging ways in which white supremacist teachings have been integrated into our minds and spirits.”
- “We confessed our mistakes and failings to ourselves and others.”
- “We were entirely ready to deconstruct previous ways of knowing, as they had been developed through the lens of white supremacy.”
- “We humbly explored new ways of understanding … proactively seeking out new learning and reconstructing a more inclusive sense of reality.”
- “We committed ourselves to ongoing study of our racial biases, conscious or unconscious, and our maladaptive patterns of white supremacist thinking.”
- “We developed strategies to counteract our racial biases.”
- “We embraced the responsibility of focusing on our impact, more than our intentions, in interactions with people of color.”
- “We engaged in daily practices of self-reflection.”
- “We committed ourselves to sharing this message with our white brothers, sisters, and siblings … in order to build a supportive recovery community and to encourage personal accountability within our culture.”
You know, if you change out “White supremacy” for “jewish supremacy,” some of it might actually be a good recovery program!
The program appears to focus a lot on “microaggresions,” which is “racist” behaviors that White people of which White people are not even aware. The the worksheet states:
We explore ways, past and present, in which the ideology of white supremacy has negatively impacted us: our understanding of history, our social networks, and our patterns of interacting with people of color, with an emphasized focus on microaggressions,”
Alpha News points out that the University of Minnesota has a history of anti-Whiteness, having hosted a 2018 lecture on the “existential threat” of Whiteness.
