White people need help with white guilt, says Louisville professor

"White allies need help overcoming ambivalence in their anti-racism commitments" - Dr. Yara Mekawi University of Louisville Color Lab ProfessorDespite Kentucky law banning DEI in public colleges and universities, the University of Louisville still has a Color Lab. An associate professor from this Color Lab, Dr. Yara Mekawi, was recorded by an undercover journalist from Accuracy in Media (AIM) giving a presentation on Beyond Fragility at the American Psychological Association (APA) conference on moving beyond white fragility.In it, Yara Mekawi talks about using psychology to help white people overcome their guilt and the mental issues they develop from being white and how to become a better white ally.The University of Louisville receives $134 million a year in state taxpayer funds, and Mekawi is a government employee.It is wrong to push ideas that treat people differently based upon their skin color. It is wrong to tell people they should feel guilty, oppressed, or emotional just because of the color of their skin. It is wrong to use taxpayer funds to push these ideas.The Legislature needs to put some real teeth in their DEI law, otherwise it was all just performative nonsense.
