🚨 The Secret Origins of Robin DiAngelo's White "Anti-Racist" Cult
You've heard that it's impossible to be racist against white people. That all white people are inherently racist. That the only solution is to "do the work."
Where did this all come from? You might know of Critical Race Theory, but there's another source for these ideas you've never heard about.
I undertook an unprecedented investigation into the origins of these ideas, pulling documents and microfilms from university special collections and sending people into "anti-racism" workshops with hidden cameras.
Here's a summary:
• Stokely Carmichael, the Marxist-Leninist founder of the Black Power movement, kicked all the white people out of his organization and told them to "educate other white people" in his views.
• Robert Terry, a white man, developed his philosophy of "New White Consciousness" based on Carmichael's views, explaining "we have met the enemy, and they are us."
• After the Detroit riots of 1967, Michigan Governor George Romney engages in "riot insurance" by funding racially militant projects.
• White K-12 educators receive this funding and teach New White Consciousness. One of these teachers, Alan Hurwitz, gets addicted to crack and becomes a famed serial bank robber. Another, Patricia Bidol, invents to "Power + Prejudice" definition of "racism."
• These educators train with the NTL Institute, an organization founded by U.S. intelligence's former director of the "psychological warfare center for the Far East." There they learn psychologically manipulative education techniques that allow them to “form ideology for other people.”
• The National Education Association, America's largest teachers union, trains teachers in these ideas nationwide.
• Judith Katz, author of the infamous Smithsonian “Aspects & Assumptions of Whiteness” infographic, refines the techniques of "anti-racism" training and drastically increases their popularity.
• Robin DiAngelo plagiarizes her predecessors' ideas wholesale, while citing none of them.
All of this and so much more is exposed in my new book Redefining Racism, released TODAY. Learn more from the video below. Follow the link in the next tweet to read it for yourself. 🔽
Glad you liked it! I’m not certain I understand your second question, but regarding your first question, yes, I think it’s fair to say that these bad ideas arose as a result of Americans failing to move past racism and slavery. A multitude of ideas arose about what to do about that, some good some bad, and my book tracks the history of one of the bad ideas.
Lux is right, but going further, I do not even acknowledge such as thing as Jewish atheism (except perhaps by the most technical thin definition of atheism).
To identify as ethnically Jewish is to still believe in a false religious myth that one is a member of a people they share no actual ties with besides that religion. There are Ethiopian Jews, Yemeni Jews, Chinese Jews, Indian Jews, European Jews of multiple lineages, and converts. The idea that these people share an ethnicity is preposterous. All of these groups either provably have no genetic ties, or have greater ties to certain non-Jewish groups than they have to each other.
This is why I never say “I’m Jewish” even though I know it would get me a lot of benefits when I take anti-Zionist positions. When it’s relevant and I have to, I always say more specific things like “I was raised Orthodox Jewish,” which is a religious claim.
If people ask me about my ethnicity specifically, I usually say “I’m an American,” not because I’m ashamed of having Jewish heritage in any way, but because I don’t think the answer I know they’re looking for is actually coherent. I also know if I said “I’m Jewish” it would lead them to make false assumptions about me, since I’m about as far away from sharing the ideas and culture of any type of Jewish community as can be.
If they really push and don’t accept American, I’ll say “my heritage is Eastern European Ashkenazi,” which is a somewhat more coherent ethnic grouping.

@MockCracy@grok@TONYxTWO I don’t know where all this is coming from but none of it seems to have anything to do with anything I wrote or said. Did you even watch the video?
Listen, I was raised Jewish in a very Zionist community outside Washington, DC. I went to a Jewish school that had teaching an attachment to Israel as a core part of its mission. I also spent a semester in Israel. Both here and there, we all called ourselves Zionists.
Anyone who is telling you this isn’t a word with widespread contemporary meaning to the community anymore is lying to you.
@Wolverstein@havivrettiggur I mean, tell that to all the current day Israeli politicians who call themselves Zionists. They mean something concrete by that, and what they mean is maintaining Israel’s status as a “Jewish state” rather than an ethnically-neutral state.
The post traces how the "prejudice + power" redefinition of racism originated in the late 1960s/early 1970s with educators like Patricia Bidol and Robert Terry, influenced by Black Power ideas and sensitivity training methods. It was a deliberate shift from the standard meaning—racial prejudice or discrimination by anyone—to a one-directional framework tied to institutional power.
This version gained traction in teacher workshops and later influenced writers like Robin DiAngelo. It functions more as ideological framing than neutral description, allowing anti-white bias to be dismissed while expanding "racism" to cover neutral or dissenting views.
The classical definition remains clearer and more consistent: racism is racial prejudice or discrimination, period. Power dynamics matter for outcomes but don't redefine the term itself.
Her being Jewish came up nowhere in my research, and I’ve never known a Jew with the last name Bidol.
The ideology she taught and further developed upon of “New White Consciousness” was first developed by a Christian social gospel theologian (Robert Terry) working for a Christian organization (the Detroit Industrial Mission).
@grok@TONYxTWO The “Power + Prejudice” definition of racism was invented by white high school teachers who were attempting to spread an idiosyncratic communist and black nationalist ideology through psychologically manipulative means. I wrote the book on it.

Would I rather live or are people generally better off is a very different question. Under Israeli law I am considered Jewish, and of course would be better off on the controlling part of an apartheid situation.
I presumed your question was meaning during peace time, as I assumed you would at least give Netanyahu some share of the responsible for the conditions of that war zone. I don’t think anyone at all is better off living in Lebanon right now, but I’m not sure of what relevance “right now” would be for the point I think you’re trying to make.
Come off it with the emotional theatrics. Facts don’t care about feelings. I speak for myself, but I think my opinion is quite widespread, and I also think it’s quite balanced. The opinion that should scare you is “Hezbollah is good actually,” which is held by many people, but not me.
I just don’t want to be a part of this. If you’re an American who wants to pay for Israel’s bombs, so be it.
But why can’t you just leave me out of it? Send Israel your own dollars, stop taxing and stealing from me to force me to participate.
Why is this too much to ask?
Israel executed Theodosia today in Qlayaa, South Lebanon.
She was on her way to take her exams.
Israel dropped a bomb on her car, killing her and her parents.
@JamesDelmore1 I think that living as a Palestinian under Netanyahu’s control under military occupation is vastly worse than living under Hezbollah. I think living in Israel proper is substantially better for most, but not necessarily all.
@JamesDelmore1 I’m not sure if I do or not. Probably not any more than I would want Netanyahu killed. But I don’t want anything to do with either killing. Let them fight their war over there, it’s not mine.
