Per Northwestern professor Barnor Hesse
1. White Supremist (worst) 2. White Voyeurist 3. White Privileged 4. White Benefit 5. White Confessional 6. White Critical 7. White Traitor 8. White Abolitionist (What to strive for)
Which are you?
Thankfully they are pushing hard to get this taught in public schools

it is my privilege to listen to to others tell me why i am the scum of the earth because everything I have was taken by my white ancestors and i no longer deserve it - and/or that i owe reparation for being white when white is bad to be.

"Wouldn't challenge a white supremacist; desires non-whiteness because it's interesting, pleasurable; seeks to control the consumption and appropriation of non-whiteness; fascination with culture (ex: consuming black culture without the burden of Blackness)"
Whaaaaaaaat? What is "consuming black culture"?

or that a professor of African American studies at a school as prestigious as Northwestern would use the legitimacy of that position to troll people.

So only black people buy clothes and listen to music? You have no idea of show many white people I have encountered in my life that had some sort of Misician/ band t-shirt on!

There are plenty of whites who didn't get the memo.

They're still poor and have no privilege at all.

Look, I don't want to defend this stuff. I have not been able to find the research from which it was pulled, so I have no context for this stuff. And the principle who sent it home has missed the mark, but allow me to Try to propose a possible basis to do something more than just ridicule this.
I think that all people in America (& elsewhere) encompass some degree of racial or ethnic prejudice. It may range from actual hatred of other groups to some mild form of inaccurate or unfair assumptions about them. Tribalism has long been ingrained in human beings and it is not easy to over come. Racial prejudice is just the most pervasive of these tribal divisions (in America, at least).
Now I would place people along a continuum from most to least prejudiced, but Dr. Hesse has attempted to create categories and labels. Again, I am not sure why because I cannot find the original research. If someone could point me in that direction, it would be appreciated.
The categorization and the attempt to label each category - along with descriptions is where this things seems to get off of the rails. I think we all know people who are more - and less - racially prejudiced than us. So the attempt to describe a degree of prejudice is better than just a racist and a non-racist box, but this seems particularly clumsy, at least without context.
One last thing, if we all COULD admit that we had some racial prejudice in our hearts, then maybe we could use our heads to ameliorate prejudiced thoughts and actions. Maybe we each could become less racially prejudiced. It seems like that would be a good thing for us and for US.

I fall somewhere between 'White Voyeurism" and "White Privilege"
They're all backhanded as racist stereotypes unless you are a "white traitor" or "white abolitionist"
