Quote:MADISON, Wis. – “White Privilege” theorists aren’t content with just indoctrinating high school students. Their agenda is to start earlier than that. Four- and five-year-olds are much more impressionable than a skeptical teenager.
That’s why there was a session at the 2014 White Privilege Conference – held in Madison, Wisconsin in late March – titled, “Examining White Privilege and Building Foundations for Social Justice Thinking in the Elementary Classroom.” The session was led by two teachers, Rosemary Colt and Diana Reeves.
“But what we’re hoping to be able to convince you is possible is to take the (inaudible) sequences, which you are directed to be using, and to find within them opportunities to begin to insert social justice, anti-racist information for even little kids to understand,” Reeves said.
The teachers posted examples of their lessons for attendees to consider.
One lesson dealt with the U.S. Constitution.
“Does it work equally well for everyone?” the worksheet asks.
“No,” one child wrote, “because some people have different beliefs.”
“What does it mean to be privileged,” another question asks.
“If you are privileged you are white,” another child answered.
Wisconsin White Privilege Conference: Attendee Booted From Workshop Because Minorities Would Feel “Unsafe” With Him Being There Because He’s White…
I wonder how this story would be reported if a black person was booted because he made whites feel “unsafe?”
Quote:When one looks through the rhetorical veneer of the White Privilege Conference, hypocrisies abound. [...]
Other aspects include segregated workshops open to only some conference participants, based solely on the color of their skin. The reason? An organizer told our investigator: “It can feel, for some people of color, unsafe. Not universally – like in your group everybody was fine, but for some people it can feel like, oh, I don’t … ”
“Because I was white they would feel unsafe?” our reporter asked as he was led out of the workshop.
“Exactly. Exactly,” the organizer said. “And it’s not because you’ve done anything. You seem like a perfectly fine person, but it’s because of experiences they’ve had with others.”

Wow. This guy just gave everyone, white or black, an excuse to be racist.

When did all this racist and homophobic crap start? 2009, that's when.
That's right. Soon after our country elected the first black President.
Obama & Co have done more to promote racism than eliminate it. If you disagree, and I know you will, give me some examples of how Obama tried to eliminate across the board racism.

Got any proof of this mass onslaught of white privilege from any time before?
What are you talking about? This whole country was built on white privilege.
I wouldn't go that far. The Irish and Italians didn't have an easy go of it either. There most certainly was Institutional advantages for 'Whites' but that doesn't mean it was easy. You could even say that didn't go away till the late 60's. But today? There are more specific scholarships available to any University based on being black than any other 'minority'. You know what you don't see? Scholarships based on being White. So Higher Education is much more accessible than in my Grandparents day.
What is going unaddressed is that schools are becoming segregated again. Not based on any Government program, but on districting patterns. Look at the racial make up of your Urban, Suburban and Rural schools. The best way to address it is School Choice but that is a non starter with Liberals. I'm tired of trying to assign blame to others than ourselves. Personal responsibility is being lost in this country. In some sections more and faster than others

considering the social experimental machine is controlled by the left, it's not hard for me to see whose fault it is.
