Get Ready For Some Fancy-Pantsed Nuancin' --- Berkeley Law Professor Blames The Enlightenment For Racism Which Is Tied To Our “Modern Sense of Self”
From the Blaze:
A Berkeley Law professor recently argued at the 15th annual White Privilege Conference in Madison, Wisconsin that “whiteness” is tied to our “modern sense of self” because of the Enlightenment and, in particular, thinkers like Rene Descartes.
According to video released Tuesday by conservative news site Progressives Today, professor John A. Powell said at the conference:
“So whiteness, actually, is very tied to our modern sense of self. And this was part of what’s called the ‘Enlightenment project.’ So that project, which goes back to people like Descartes — remember Descartes, where he says, ‘I think, therefore I am’? So he had the separation of mind and body. He had the separation of the mind, rational mind, from nature.”
Powell’s explanation continued: “So this radical individual that perceives himself — and it largely was a him — as being isolated from each other, isolated from nature, hostile to nature in a scary world, was also a white self.” “So the expression of the self, the modern self, is actually racialized,” he concluded.
