White Shaming: Bullying Based on Prejudice, Virtue-Signaling, and Ignorance

by Negy Charles

In a country that proclaims to value diversity and multiculturalism, white Americans and white culture frequently are under siege for a host of transgressions, ranging from colonialism to slavery, Jim Crow laws to racism, and from microaggressions to white privilege. Whites often are expected to “shut up,” own their presumed racism, and feel guilty for the wrongdoings of others who simply belonged to their racial group. The author calls these attacks “White shaming,” and using contemporary examples, argues that White shaming is a form of bullying. The bullying reflects shamers’ unacknowledged hostility and prejudice toward Whites, as well as shamers’ need to feel morally superior ( virtue-signaling) and their ignorance of world history and other cultures. The author is a professor of psychology who has studied myriad topics related to race/ethnicity and inter-ethnic relations for over 30 years. In White Shaming, he takes on university professors, media pundits, and politicians by scrutinizing cases of White shaming. He argues that White shaming does little to unite a diverse country and instead, inflames racial animosity, foments racial distrust, and pits non-Whites against Whites amid a never-ending list of grievances. Readers will appreciate the author’s relatively objective and scholarly treatment of the subject and most importantly, his exposé of the hypocrisy of White shaming. He delineates ways to confront and combat White shaming with an eye toward improving race relations and restoring civility and respect in public discourse on matters of race, diversity and social justice.

This author is a loud and proud racist.
He's also a professor at UCF but hopefully not for much longer.
Imagine thinking this was the time to offer up racist pseudo science.
The idea that this openly racist asshole is responsible for teaching cross cultural anything is horrifying.
White Supremacy does not belong in education.

white people deserve to be shamed for their racism

The title is a little off putting but the book is good - very good. Pro-equality. Good ideas on how to foster critical thinking. Quote from author at conclusion of book: 'if we could just embrace the golden rule: Treat others as you would have them treat you. Whether that's in the context of employment, education, housing, of the criminal justice system, it behooves all of us to do our part to ensure we are not harming anyone in any way.' It is not a racist book, just the opposite. I enjoyed it and bought three extra for gifts.

Provides a more well rounded story than the narrative you get at college. All races have been guilty of racism and it is absurd to blame only whites. That would be rather Eurocentric/American-centric. Those who say this book is hateful are brainwashed beyond belief. This book contains no malice.

A straight forward account of the anti white race hatred that epitomizes the the hypocrisy the social justice/critical race theory belief system

This book was written as a platform for Negy to spot his biased thoughts and ideas. The research used to express these opinions is sketchy at best. As a college professor of psychology, I would expect better. Don't waste your time or money.
