WHITE WOMEN AS POSTMODERN VEHICLE OF BLACK OPPRESSION: The Pedagogy of Discrimination in Western Academe.

At the behest of White Americans is a postmodern form of Black oppression via White women as vehicle. In the preferential hiring of White women faculty extended from the women's rights movement in academe is the racist discrimination against Black and other people of color. The history of women's rights evolved in the context of racism apparent in the popularity of the Women's Ku Klux Klan (WKKK). Suffice it to say, that modernistic tradition in the preferential hire of White women is a prerequisite to White supremacy. Thus, in this postmodern era the gap between White women and Black folk hired at prestigious institutions of higher education has introduced a more covert but no less formidable strategy for sustaining Black oppression. Academe must confront this issue to sustain its prestige and credibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
