The first rule of Whiteness club: you don’t talk to people of color during Whiteness club.

That’s according to the founder of a “Whiteness” discussion group on the campus of Kenyon College in Ohio, Juniper Cruz. 

Cruz, a self-described transgender queer Afro-Latinx Muslim, said, “I decided to start this group last semester when I got tired of white people who would post these very intellectual and passionate statuses on their social media accounts, but that’s as far as their activism went.”

The goal of the group is to “educate students on whiteness, what it means to be white, and ways to deconstruct whiteness to work towards anti-racist actions.”

Cruz added, “My goal… is to create a sustainable form of activism that relies on community, education, and white people educating each other, while not relying on people of color to educate them.”

And therein lies the catch. According to the rules published at The College Fix:

If you have an unpopular opinion, speak up. No white person can ask a person of color questions; white people must try to answer their questions for themselves. And no spreading rumors about what people say during the meetings.

Cruz said he/she/xe is “pleasantly surprised” by the turnout of “white allies” since the discussions “take a good hour out of their day.”

That's funny, this story took a good chunk out of our brains.
