Yes, Sacramento State’s President Said He Wanted to ‘Eliminate Whiteness’
15th August 2025
Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. Recently, we discussed Dr. Luke Wood, the president of California State University of Sacramento, and a video that has been recently circulating in which he says he plans to “eliminate whiteness.” And there was a discussion whether whiteness is separate from or synonymous with being white.
And I suggested to you that this was a very deleterious and stupid thing to say, and it was divisive in a multiracial democracy. In other words, it’s like saying that your image in the mirror, you can destroy that. But it has nothing to do with you, the real person who is projecting that image. In other words, that’s just a reflection of who you are.
Whiteness, according to his logic, would be a reflection of people who are white. And he couldn’t explain that when asked to.
