Associate Professor Brittney Cooper, who also once blasphemously claimed that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is "queer," recently told a TED Talk audience that she also believes that white people "own time" – which in her mind makes time "evil" and something to be resisted and shunned by progressives.
"If time had a race, it would be white," Cooper stated on record before her listening audience with a straight face. "White people own time," she added in the same breath, also still completely serious.
When asked for some type of rationale by the interviewer as to why she believes this, Cooper offered a vague retort about how Europeans supposedly came up with the idea of time, denigrating it as a product of "Western thought," which she clearly rejects.
"After the Industrial Revolution, suddenly, we begin to talk about time as spending time," Cooper stated, insinuating that, prior to the Industrial Revolution, there simply was no time. "It becomes something that is tethered to monetary value."
Cooper then went on to ramble about hourly wages, black and brown people, Western ideals, and various other incoherent and unrelated topics, circling back to her contention that white people created time, and continue to use it as a form of oppression against non-whites.
"Time has a history, and so do black people," she further stated. "But we treat time as though it is timeless, as though it has always been this way, as though it doesn't have a political history bound up with the plunder of indigenous lands, the genocide of indigenous people and the stealing of Africans from their homeland."
"When white, male European philosophers first thought to conceptualize time and history, one famously declared, Africa is no historical part of the world. He was, essentially, saying that Africans were people outside of history who had had no impact on time or the march of progress," Cooper further ranted.

"Time" and "history" are both products of "white supremacy" that keep black people from attaining "social progress"
The reason why many black people haven't been able to achieve the same level of "social progress" as other groups, Cooper maintains, has to do with not only "time," but also "history" – both of which this blatantly anti-white professor claims are among the lynchpins of "white supremacy."
It has nothing to do with some black people not having a strong work ethic, or dwelling in victimhood rather than pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, working hard, and making something of themselves – no, it's all because of that nasty "time" and "history," created by whites, that Cooper believes is keeping black people from achieving much of anything in their lives.
"You know, the more (sic) generous thing that I can say is that part of what exposing these operations of time should allow us to think about is that we don't all have the same timescapes," Cooper further stated, completely nonsensically.
"And so if you're white in the U.S. context, typically you're taught that time is linear, that every day is a progression beyond the past, that we are not today where we were 50 years ago."
"But if you are African-American in this country, time doesn't exactly work that way," she concluded. "You are, you know, living often with the residue of past historical trauma. You are living in a present-day system that is filled with racial animus, which often is overlooked by many white Americans."
