How to Effectively Articulate Racist Abuse within College & Academia
BU Law cannot decide between its Liberal Corporate (Fascist) White Supremacist agenda and the facade the School wants to promote as being anti-racist and “inclusive”. “Justice” cannot be understood, taught and enacted without making that choice.
Racism is abuse and therefore must be viewed within the framework of abuse. The abusive systems which BU Law has taken its inspiration from are; Fascism, Colonialism, Nazism and Eugenics. Though this is nothing exclusive to BU Law, BU Law’s move towards this reality has been a process which has taken years and is worthy of critique and analysis. Fascism requires fertility and the correct conditions to breed. BU Law has, seemingly unwittingly, fostered and provided the grounds.
- What Fascism was and is today must be understood fully and concretely, since this integral understanding is almost always conveniently bypassed.
- The Law must be understood in its forms, functions, structures and capacity. What is the role of decision making within Law and what does it mean to be dismissed?
- Liberalism must be understood in its post-War context (I’m limiting this period to not be overly-long, though the pre-war context is certainly also worth exploring is highly recommended), not from the white Liberal (biased and self-serving) perspective but through the implementation of Critical Race Theory.
- Legal Education must be assessed side by side with militant Fascism.
- Militant Fascism is used to describe the system of Governance (not “Capitalist Democracy” which is the false and commonly propagated terminology) within the United States based on a simple calculation of Government expenditure alongside the prioritization of corporate interests.
The following is an email sent out today to the Director Director of Diversity, Equity, and Engagement and Associate Director of Academic Enrichment at BU Law and is one of many starting point of an articulation of how and why Law Schools such as BU Law and Harvard are the exact epicentres and nuclei for white supremacy which, under the first tenet of CRT “maintains power through the Law”.
Dear Director and Associate Director,
I have been looking on the BU Law site for resources available for students experiencing race-related stress and hope that you could point me in the right direction. I came across the following at UOI and wondered if there are equivalent services and resources available at BU: https://counselingcenter.illinois.edu/brochures/coping-race-related-stress
My research is focusing on the History of Law and I found it deeply unsettling and concerning that the BU Law Associate Dean for “Equity Justice & Engagement” Professor Anna di Robilant is an aristocratic white Liberal Property Law Professor from Italy with a family background in militant Fascism, voluntary Nazism, Colonialism and Eugenics; disconcerting in itself and hardly relatable to students of color at BU Law.
With this being the case what can be said of what BU Law rewards, values and promotes and what does this allocation encourage within the Faculty and students? Under Critical Race Theory, whereby the main tenet is that “white supremacy exists and maintains power through the Law”, the white Liberal approach does not favor students of color nor justice for our communities, rather to the exact contrary by promoting white dominance.
I am struggling to see how this is all happening under the title of “Equity, Justice & Engagement’’ and find the role allocation bordering on abuse whereby the lived experiences of students of color within a racist society are being disregarded. I would argue that students should not be put in such a compromised position. Not only as Law Students but Black students who are being used as the Associate Dean’s research assistants in order to “get ahead”. While those who disagree with or dare to challenge the highly racialized power dynamics would not.
A former BU Law student shared her experiences of classroom racism, which from the white Liberal point of view would be immediately disregarded in order to maintain the white supremacist, racist status quo. However for anyone who has experienced racism the account is deeply familiar and upsetting:
At a time when State Governors and others are attempting to ban Critical Race Theory in education I’m finding this situation highly stressful and am unsure where these concerns will be listened to and not ignored. What can be done to address this matter with the BU Law Dean Angela Onwuachi-Willig being a renowned scholar in CRT? Students at BU Law as well as the BU School of Social Work have expressed their concerns and support for highlighting this with a transparent investigation, however do not feel comfortable doing so in a way which may very likely result in a mark against them.
I am very much looking forward to hearing from you,
Xavier Primavera

Paradoxically, therefore, the racist policies of the Fascist regime often coexisted with, and were even reinforced by, denunciations of the racist policies of the United States.” -Impegno Nero: Italian Intellectuals and the African-American StruggleC.
