Hakeem Jefferson, a black political science professor at the California university, tweeted on August 17, when he insisted the demonstrations are caused by 'whiteness,' while utilizing the same logic to the January 6 Capitol riots.
'Whiteness is the most pressing threat to the nation that isn’t climate change,' one of Jefferson's tweets read.
'Make no mistake, this crazy opposition to mask wearing that is leading folks (read white ppl) to act violently at school board meetings & council meetings & everywhere else—yeah, you can’t disconnect it from whiteness,' he stated.
Jefferson made it clear that any kind of national dialogue on such subjects are 'incomplete' until this 'whiteness' is acknowledged.

'And discussions that don’t acknowledge this are incomplete.'.
Jefferson continued that white people think such 'whiteness' puts them above the law.
'Ain’t like masks are comfortable for non-white people. But you don’t see a bunch of Black folks storming meetings. And it’s not just because these white folks are GOP,' he declared.

'It’s because they’re white, & believe whiteness confers upon them a kind of power that places them above gov action.'
The Stanford professor further announced that whiteness is not a skin color, yet rather an 'ideology,' and that even some people of color are 'committed to the ideology of whiteness.'
