Another day, another university’s religion program bogged down by political correctness. Earlier this week, we reported on how two top divinity schools are suggesting gender-neutral pronouns for God — and now one of the top colleges in the nation has students asking about whether God is a racist.
Specifically, Pennsylvania’s Swarthmore College is offering a religion class this semester titled, “Is God a White Supremacist?”
The course explores how religion represents race, with a particular focus on “the interpretive practices that are foundational to the process of ‘whiteness-making’ and the construction of white identity,” the spring 2017 catalog says.
W...T...F??? How are such insane ridiculous classes allowed to exist?
What is insane is the professor teaching it is the chariman of the college's religious department. Now firstly, why would a liberal college even have a religious department, and why would he be allowed to teach such crap??
What is amazing is how liberals are so blind as to see that things like this is WHY Trump won.

Swathmore is a private college.
This is the class description taken from their website.

RELG 029. Is God a White Supremacist?
This course will focus on representations of race in religious discourses and social practice. Particular attention will be given to discussion of the interpretive practices that are foundational to the process of "whiteness-making" and the construction of white identity. With primary source readings and secondary literature ranging from the biblical interpretation of white supremacist "Christian identity" churches to the articulation of the Yakub theory of racial formation in the Nation of Islam, the course readings will: address religious theories justifying racial domination, engage in critical examination of the influence of religious thought both past and present on comparative global racisms, and transnational whiteness. Themes will include: evil and the nature of suffering, human/anti-human binaries, death and being, and perceptions of the racialized transcendent Other in the social, political, and symbolic order.

Yes he won because of college courses. They just could not match up to the ones given at his university.
Don't be obtuse. My point is liberals can't stop consistently thinking up new and stupid things to complain about and think everyone else should oblidge. MANY love seeing the election of Trump being a big f u to all of these nutcases.
I googled the term and it appears nowhere else but in that Swarthmore catalog. They made it up.
Maybe it's one of those "dog whistle" words the SJWs are always talking about.
I don't have a dog. Would another poster be so kind as to call their pooch over and tell him or her "human/anti-human binaries" and see what happens? Then report back to us.
Thanks.
