Report: University Course Focuses On Fixing ‘Racist’ Soap Dispensers

Core principle is that ‘racial biases’ are built into technology

A Princeton University course centered around correcting ‘racist’ technology has seen students focusing on soap dispensers that ‘don’t see dark skin’ and cameras that can’t pick out black faces, according to a Campus Reform report.

The course ran for 15 weeks and saw students attempting to overturn what was described as ‘racial biases built in tech’ and instead developing ‘actively anti-racist solutions’.

Students were tasked to “build and test systems that embrace anti-racism as a core value.” 

The idea that faulty soap dispensers are a signifier of institutional racism has been pushed by Ruha Benjamin, Princeton professor of African American Studies in her book Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code which posits that “emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity.”

Benjamin stops short of claiming that technology is developed to be purposefully racist, but states that products “reflect the society they come out of.”

The Campus Reform report also notes that students ‘envisioned’ an augmented reality (AR) tool that would allow people to use phones to automatically ‘replace’ the names of buildings they deem to be too racist.

Examples of such structures were buildings on Princeton’s campus named after U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and Samuel Stanhope Smith, a former Princeton president.

Both were targeted because the men they were named after were deemed to have ‘racist legacies’.

Critics have noted that this kind of social justice infiltration of education is one reason why wokeness is becoming so prevalent in wider society, with calls to literally re-write history, tear down statues and purge anything deemed to be racially insensitive, which apparently now includes rudimentary machines that deposit cleaning products.

A glimpse of what life was like before the woke mind virus

In the wake of CNN’s last remaining woke host being sidelined for making a ‘sexist’ and ‘ageist’ remark about Nikki Haley, a video of Don Lemon from 2013 in which he surprisingly speaks sense has gone viral.

The video shows Lemon talking about what the black community should do to fix its problems, including stop littering, and encouraging kids to try harder in school.

The host also extols the virtues of marriage, and warns about the problem of absent fathers, asserting “just because you can have a baby doesn’t mean you should.”

Lemon even tells young black men to stop using the N word and to pull up their pants and stop walking around with their asses hanging out looking like prison bitches.

Imagine the meltdown that would occur if Lemon spoke like this today, just 10 years later:

Some pointed out how frightening it is that things changed so monumentally because of the woke mid virus:

What happened to that guy?

    VIDEO: White Boy ‘Strangled’ by Black Girl on School Bus in Virginia

    A Fort Belvoir mom has released shocking video of her 12-year-old son being “strangled” by a girl twice his size on a school bus in Virginia and claims her son’s abuser only received a slap on the wrist. 

    WATCH:

    From WUSA 9, “VIDEO: Boy choked on school bus, mother demands consequences”:

    Taylor Brock said her son was captured on cell phone video being choked by a female classmate on a school bus from Walt Whitman Middle School in Alexandria.

    In the one-minute video, the girl could be seen smacking her son and grabbing him by the mouth. There was a brief exchange between the two before she grabs him by the neck. Seconds later, the girl appeared to be choking him against the seat.

    “My son came home crying, and I saw the marks on his neck,” Brock said. “It breaks my heart that there are all these kids on the bus and not one decided to stand up.”

    The incident happened in late January, but she posted the video through her business website on Monday. She said the response from the school to keep her child safe has been inadequate.

    Brock said she not only pressed charges but had a Fairfax County judge grant a protective order against the girl earlier this month.

    “When I got my son a two year protection order, the Judge who saw this video and pictures asked if the girl still attended the school to which I replied ‘yes,'” Brock said on her website. “The Judge was confused and asked if the school knows about this event and if they understand the severity and gravity of what happened. I asked the school why they thought suspension was enough for strangulation to which they replied, ‘We have protocols we have to follow and execute punishment according to the School’s Code of Conduct.'”

    “They can’t create a safe environment for our kids if they sweep these violent acts under the rug, hoping no one hears about them,” Brock said. 

    Brock also shared photos of the marks left on her son’s neck from the abuse.

    It strikes me that if the girl in this situation had (falsely) claimed her son cut one of her dreadlocks it would make international news as we saw with a viral hate hoax out of Virginiain 2019. 

    Instead, this vicious abuse is just going to be ignored as we saw with another similar attack in Homestead, Florida earlier this month.
