The Lecture by Emory University’s George Yancy which Wheaton College Doesn’t want the Public to Hear
Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois is supposed to be a ‘Christian’ school; albeit new evangelical. However, in September 2017 Wheaton’s Philosophy Department sponsored a talk by Emory University’s Dr. George Yancy on the subject “A Post-Racial America? White Gazes and Black Bodies.”

There is a youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twoexLfmGSg&feature=youtu.be) that gives 16 minutes audio of Yancy’s lecture but it is such a gutter expletive-filled talk that it will not be included here. Honestly, any truly born again growing in the Christian faith person would have a hard time listening to more than two minutes at the most of Yancy’s lecture.
So, why mention Yancy’s foul-mouthed hate-filled reverse racist speech anyway? Well, Yancy’s talk reveals several points.
- It reveals how much further Wheaton College has drifted from the Word of God.
- It reveals that a person would not receive a solid Christian education from the Word of God at Wheaton.
- It reveals the moral qualities (or lack thereof) distinctive to George Yancy.
- It reveals what is taught in the philosophy departments at Wheaton and Emory.
- It reveals that Dr. Yancy has an anger issue.
- It reveals Dr. Yancy has a spiritual problem.
- It reveals what reversed racism sounds like.
- It reveals the low morals of the listeners when a professor from an ‘esteemed’ University uses words in a lecture that even a sailor would have blushed at fifty years ago. Here are some responses from those who went to this lecture.‘September 21, 2017
On Sept. 14, George Yancy, professor of philosophy at Emory University spoke in Barrows Auditorium about the idea of a “post-racial America.” His lecture, entitled “White Gazes and Black Bodies” was the first event in the philosophy department’s 2017-18 speaker series. Yancy is widely known for his 2015 opinion piece published in the New York Times entitled “Dear White America,” in which he asserted that American whites — whether intentionally or not — engage in racist acts daily as part of an inherently racist society. In the letter, Yancy asks white Americans “to speak to, to admit to, the racist poison that is inside of you.” Yancy covered similar themes in his lecture and sparked a variety of reactions on campus. The Record collected a few responses to the lecture.
Lillia Smith:
I am still wrestling with everything Dr. George Yancy explained and the event itself, which I mean in an incredible way. I left feeling frustrated that I have not been this uncomfortable and frustrated all along. Dr. George Yancy drew a beautiful parallel when he described that we are constantly striving to be anti-racist, but we will never “arrive,” just as we are constantly striving to be Christ-like, but we will never “arrive” there on this earth. To use Dr. Yancy’s words, we should be in crisis and should constantly be practicing double consciousness, which is only attainable through empathy.
Sadie Flora:
It was very eye opening and something I think everyone needs to consider. It really made me think how every white person is racist by association and put a desire in me to want to learn more from my black brothers and sisters.
Dr. Adam Wood:
Dr. Adam Wood
It’s obviously hard to be told that one is a racist. I’m a white American, so his message was partly aimed at me, and part of the message was, you’re a racist, Wood. It’s always hard to be told that you’re guilty of a sin … but as Christians, we’re told pretty constantly when we go to church and read our Bibles that we are guilty of all manner of different sins, so I think that’s a message that we should be open to.’ http://www.wheatonrecord.com/news/responses-dr-yancys-lecture/
8. It reveals that the parents who pay for this ‘Christian’ education do not know or care what their child hears or is taught.
Dr. Yancy, Wheaton College and those who heard him may think they got away with it but God has something to say concerning Dr. Yancy’s lecture and those who listened. Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt (bad, worthless) communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice
Then in Chapter 5 and verse 4 the Word tells the believer that one’s speech is not to be “Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting”.
Now, a few remarks about Yancy and the words he used in getting his point across. First, his words were corrupt or as Strong’s Concordance says ‘rotten, i.e. worthless (literally or morally):–bad’. Secondly, they were words that displayed a bitterness and anger of heart. Thirdly, Yancy’s words were filthy and foolish.
As for those who listened to Yancy’s lecture God’s Word says to the believer in Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain (empty) words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye (believers) therefore partakers with them. (Listening to Yancy and not reproving him is being a partaker) 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light (A believer once spoke foolishly and perhaps filthy words but not now due to their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit).
So what ought to happen? George Yancy needs to repent and get saved and Wheaton College and those professors involved need to (1) repent and get saved or (2) if saved repent of allowing a man like Yancy speak on campus and (3) apologize to those who heard Yancy and explain Biblically why Yancy’s words were not those that a born again believer should use. Enough said!
Often the early explorers such as Captain Cook and those Englishmen that followed are called invaders. For example, ‘ Since the European invasion of Australia in 1788, the 
Aboriginal people have been oppressed into a world unnatural to their existence for thousands of years.’ http://www.aboriginalheritage.org/history/history/
However, when it comes to the Muslims here is another tale.
‘The Welcome to Country was done by the truly remarkable guest speaker, a local Indigenous Muslim elder of the Wurunjeri, Br Hassan Andrew Gardiner.
Br Hassan fascinatingly explained that “there’s been contact between Muslims and 
Aboriginal people of this land for many hundreds of years. Some of the earliest rock art in the Kimberlys in Northern Australia show two-masted ships such as those you would see in the Nile River in Egypt.”
He mentioned the Indonesian fishermen and the Afghan cameleers and the peaceful relationship Muslims have historically had with aboriginal people.
“There’s been past wrongs and injustices against aboriginal people… and I find an affinity between what’s happening with the Palestinians now to be very similar.” Br Hassan said.
He called for greater awareness and advocacy to right those wrongs.’ http://www.amust.com.au/2018/05/interfaith-ramadan-dinner-month-of-compassion/
This being welcomed into the country is sickening. This is Australia and it is supposedly ‘multicultural’ Australia. Yet, this Aboriginal Muslim has praise for those of the Islamic faith but not so much for the English that gave them the English language, English law, the Word of God, etc. etc. Just look at any nation that has been taken over by a Muslim majority and eventually Sharia is imposed on the people. That nation is a place where no non-Muslim would desire to live and that is seen in modern day so-called immigration.
As for being welcomed to the land, Australia belongs to Australians. One of the blessings from the English arrival the Gospel was preached and has been now for over two hundred years. Whether one agrees with the word ‘invasion’ or not we should be thankful that the Gospel was brought here and as the Lord Jesus said ‘And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” and many including Aboriginals have been set free from the power and penalty of sin and are on their way to heaven!

I wrote my local National Pary MP and here is his sad and shoddy response.
Troy Grant
“This bill is a cross member bill, not a government bill and in recognition of the nature of this issue, government members will be free to exercise a conscience vote when it comes before the Legislative Assembly.
It is also important to consider the legal right individuals have in this state, and that is the right to free movement without fear of intimidation or harassment.”
Guess who will not get this vote next election! These politicians know that no one worth their salt would physically hinder or harm someone intent on killing their baby but rather seek to give counsel or pray with or for those going into these chambers of horror if given the opportunity.
It is disturbing to know that a member of the once conservative National Party is co-sponsoring such a bill. The National Party says on its own website:
“We believe in freedom of speech, movement and philosophy; freedom of religious activity, association and assembly; and equality and justice for all before the law.
We believe the family is the basis of a strong and stable society.” https://www.nswnationals.org.au/constitution/
Hypocrisy to say the least!
