Professor at Columbia University: The Invisible Whiteness of Being: Whiteness, White Supremacy, White Privilege, and Racism

Finally, I discovered one of what appears to one of the early original works (published 2006) of this racism ideology that has pervaded the American society and is the daily sustenance for many intellectuals, scientists, and academics!

Terrible zealots everywhere, especially among the elites! The Inquisition of the 21st century continues! Appalling! When will this absurdity end?

This is Nazi racist ideology in reverse! The author, Derald Sue, is no better than Joseph Goebbels!

Following publications were officially published by the American Psychological Association!

The only good news here is that the paper by Derald Sue (currently Teachers College, ivy league Columbia University) is cited only 131 times according to Google Scholar. 

However, other similar works by this demagogue are much more cited like "Racial microaggressions in everyday life: implications for clinical practice" published in the American Psychologist journal was cited almost 9000 times. The author's lifetime citations are very high at 56963 as of 5/2/2022.

This paper was published as a chapter in a John Wiley & Sons book titled "Addressing racism: Facilitating cultural competence in mental health and educational settings"
Can you imagine something scarier than that?

From the abstract:
"In our society, Whiteness is a default standard; the background of the figure-ground analogy from which all other groups of color are compared, contrasted, and made visible. From this color standard, racial/ethnic minorities are evaluated, judged, and often found to be lacking, inferior, deviant, or abnormal. Because Whiteness is considered to be normative and ideal, it automatically confers dominance on fair skinned people in our society. Whiteness would not be problematic if it weren't (a) predicated on White supremacy, (b) imposed overtly and covertly on People of Color, and (c) made invisible to those who benefit from its existence. Seen from this vantage point, Whiteness is an invisible veil that cloaks its racist deleterious effects through individuals, organizations, and society. The result is that White people are allowed to enjoy the benefits that accrue to them by virtue of their skin color. Thus, Whiteness, White supremacy, and White privilege are three interlocking forces that disguise racism so it may allow White people to oppress and harm persons of color while maintaining their individual and collective advantage and innocence. If we are to overcome, or at least minimize the forces of racism, we must make Whiteness visible. As long as Whiteness remains invisible and is equated with normality and superiority, People of Color will continue to suffer from its oppressive qualities. ..."

P.S. This outrageous paper was cited in one of the latest research papers by Google. See my blog post here. This where I discovered this pamphlet!
