Have you ever considered whether or not white people should, in some circumstances, kill themselves "as an ethical act?"
No?
Well, congratulations, you're unenlightened and you should probably be sent to a reeducation camp.
Anyway, this professor from Duquesne University is way ahead of you:
So, in fairness to Prof. Hook, apparently the issue at hand isn't one of explicit "suicide" but rather "the death of white people as white as a concept," in some way or another.
So it's not like white people have to actually kill themselves, it's just that they have to kill the whiteness that defines them—not literally, but figuratively, as in they have to figuratively kill the literal whiteness that forms part of their being, or... something along those lines.
It's not all that clear.
Duquense University, meanwhile, came out with a statement on Thursday amid an uproar over the clip. The statement read, in part:
Professor Hook did not advocate taking the extreme measures Delport described. Professor Hook is not advocating, nor does he advocate, violence. His effort to understand how extreme thought is developed is the point of the presentation.
If the point of the discussion was to "understand how extreme thought is developed," believe me, we're beginning to understand it!
