Cornell University's English Department gets name changed in blackwashing

Everyone's still going to call it the English Department, including " People of Color."

This is such a croc of shit.

Except the SJWs, who are mostly homely girls who are angry at the world because they are not popular.

At my school, whenever I mention our "World Cultures" department I am greeted with, "What?" and have to say, "Foreign Languages."

Everyday black people don't care about this - at all. It isn't a problem for 99.9999 percent of folks.

Ye olde stupid fucks.

Academia is so dull and destructive these days. Since the 1980s would you say?

University culture is destroying the left and liberalism. It’s so extreme and overly sensitive that I imagine novels aren’t even evaluated anymore on the basis of literary quality but on their wokeness. Also these teachers don’t get enough oxygen and live weirdly cloistered lives.

Will this also occur in other departments that include a world associated with colonialism in the title. Cornell has a department of German Studies. Will they now name this the dept of studies of literature in German languages, German language, and culture of persons who are German?

Because of this, everyone should vote for Trump. Right, OP?

This.

And of course we turn it into a Trump post.

If OP’s point isn’t to get people to vote for Trump, then what IS his* point?

* Sexist language used intentionally because otherwise you people would shriek.

And yet here you are, r5, taking time out of your busy day to comment on something that is irrelevant to 99.9999% of the population.

[quote] The English Department at the Cornell University decided to change its name in order to help eliminate the “conflation of English as a language and English as a nationality,” the student-run Cornell Daily Sun reported.

Students at Cornell will now no longer be confused about whether the department is for English literature or for people whose nationality is English. That’s important. It’s also important for everyone else to know that about students at Cornell.

"If OP’s point isn’t to get people to vote for Trump, then what IS his* point?"

It's to point out the ridiculousness of the SJW " Cancel Culture" and the stupidity of universities which are kowtowing to this nonsense.

r3 there's some truth in that. The ugly unfuckables hate life and have an axe to grind with the world. The hot people are too busy enjoying life and getting laid.

This was probably brought to you by John McWhorter. Or Breitbart.

Or Jordan Petersen or Michelle Malkin or Bill Maher or Bari Weiss or someone of that ilk.

Way to spoil an interesting topic. Bye I'm outta here.

Pity, r20. I was so looking forward to an extended disquisition about how the term “blackwashing” is in no way inflammatory or racist.

Ah, it's ok. I thought they were going to try to rename the language itself.

"And yet here you are, [R5], taking time out of your busy day to comment on something that is irrelevant to 99.9999% of the population. "

I meant using the name "English Department" is irrelevant to the vast, vast majority of the people.

Wait until the people in the German department get a whiff of this!

No it is. If you asked 1000 non White students of ways to improve their life at Cornell in the wake of the BLM movement I doubt a single one would say "please rename The English Department to The Department of Literatures in English" this may be the most symbolic gesture I've ever seen.

Far above Cayuga's waters

There's an awful smell

Some say it's Cayuga's waters

Some say it's

Cornell

Welcome to 1989!

We acknowledge that Cornell is located on Indigenous Lands of the Cayuga Nation and recognize the Indigenous peoples who have lived and continue to live here. In so doing, we acknowledge Cayuga Nation sovereignty and their long-standing presence on this land, which precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York State, and the United States of America.

Poor little white supremacist. He also has issues with TV, not just academia:

[quote] More sick entertainment that depicts white people as depraved sociopaths.

Cornell? When did I go to Cornell?

SUCH a relief to hear this welcome news! I've been losing sleep!!!!!

It's not a REAL Ivy League anyway.

Umm, Keith Olbermann has a degree from there, your Rethuglican!

OP, it's rather clear from your writing that you didn't major in English. Or perhaps, go to any college.
