Univ. of Wisconsin teaches students "it's unfair to be white"

THE ERASURE OF RACE IN POLITICS & CULTURE
Key Points
• Politicians often talk about issues like poverty, housing, education, and healthcare, but they
rarely connect them to the role that racism plays in the United States.
• While the Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968, the highest number of discrimination
complaints based on race was 38 years later, in 2006.
• The media often reports individual hate crimes, while systematic and institutionalized injustice is
not typically reported. For example, a 2004 study published by the American Journal of Public
Health found that, between 1991 and 2000, there were almost one million black people in the
U.S. who died because of insufficient healthcare. The study received almost no media attention.
• Black and Latino males are three times more likely than white males to have their cars stopped
and searched for drugs – even though white males are four-and-a-half times more likely to
actually have drugs on them when they are stopped.
• During training sessions with law enforcement officers, Wise asks, “What’s the first thing you
think when you see a young black or Latino male driving a nice car in your neighborhood?”
Without exception, they respond, “Drug dealer.” Wise then asks, “What’s the first thing you
think when you see a young white male driving the same type of car in the same community?”
Again, without exception, they say, “Spoiled little rich kid. Daddy probably bought him the car.”
• The average white family in America has 12 times the accumulated net worth of the average
African American family, and eight times the accumulated net worth of the average Latino
family.
• In the middle of the 20th century, loans were all but off limits to people of color, even though
white working class families near the poverty line were routinely given loans.

One of these days libulals are gonna have to admit publicly what even they know privately. Blacks are failures because they are mentally inferior. There is no conspiracy to keep them down. The conspiracy is to hold down whites via AA.

So blacks are "mentally inferior"? Is this out of your new KKK handbook?

So why don't you explain why blacks are always at the bottom of all standardized tests. ACT SAT LSAT MCAT GMAT doesn't matter. They are always last and it's not because the tests are culturally biased - asians do as well or better than whites!! Explain that.

WHITE DENIAL
Key Points
• In every generation, white people have said that racial discrimination is not a significant national
problem. For example:
o A recent poll revealed only 6% of white people believe racism is a national problem;
o In 1963, 80% of white people believed that black people were treated equally;
o In 1962, 90% of white people believed that black children received equal education;
o At the time of the March on Washington in the summer of 1963, 2/3 of white people
believed that the civil rights movement was asking for too much too soon;
o More than a hundred years earlier, in 1850, Dr. Samuel Cartwright said he believed that
slaves who ran away from bondage were mentally ill – a disease he termed drapetomania.
• The dominant group is the norm by which all minority groups are compared. According to Wise,
this is why February is recognized each year as Black History Month, while there is no White
History Month. His point is that white privilege is so ingrained, and normalized, that it’s
basically White History Month every other month of the year.
• Racism is perceived as affecting only the “underprivileged” and not the dominant group. Yet for
every act of racism against the “underprivileged,” there is an advantage given to the
“overprivileged.”

That's not true. Blacks are capable. They are failures because they have been told that education is a form of selling out to the white man.

HAHAHA. More liberal drivel. You libs always blame black failure on everyone but blacks.

I say cut blacks loose and let them sink or swim on their own. You libs constantly "helping" them with welfare and AA just reinforces the idea that they are failures and always will be.

So how about cutting whites loose and letting them sink or swim on their own?

Millions of WHITES are "helped" with welfare and AA, and they are also perceived as failures.

So where are your LINKS that prove your nonsense that black people are intellectually inferior to white people?

Or is this what you were taught during your last KKK meeting..............

You lose credibility when you constantly bring up the KKK, like they're some kind of major force in today's society.

Itis static analysis at best, liberal reverse agit-prop at worst.

This is the same sort of divisive and ridiculous stereotyping that Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder used when he so famously claimed that blacks were better athletes than whites because the blacks "were bred to be that way" and because blacks "have bigger thighs".

I don't buy into ANY of the cradle to grave "whitey owes the blacks" bullshit, but your kind of KKK bullshit is just as destructive as Obama's racially divisive agenda.

If he isnt just some libtard proffessor pretending to be a racist to stir up shit and scare libtards again about that mean ole debil Klan.

The Klan is nothing more than 10 FBI provocateurs and one fool who trusted them.

Haven't these idiots heard of affirmative action??? Everything is stacked AGAINST whites by edict of super-racist obozo.

Students taught: It?s unfair to be white

Feb 12, 2013

Despite the longstanding message that a person’s skin color should not matter in America, students at the University of Wisconsin – Superior are now being taught that it’s “unfair” to be white.

It’s part of a controversial effort known as the Unfair Campaign, designed to teach America’s youth that “systems and institutions are set up for us [whites]” and as such are “unfair.”

One of the main slogans for the campaign is: “It’s hard to see racism when you’re white.”

CampusReform reports the campaign was initially sponsored by the University of Minnesota – Duluth, but after an investigation conducted by CampusReform, that college dropped its partnership, and labeled the program “divisive” and “alienating.”

People are ethnocentric and it is hard for white people to see the history of white privilege.

Making the effort to see it is healthy.

There is no such thing as white advantage. There has only been noblility advantage and wealthy-folk advantage.

The millions of serfs and indentured servants who died in the mud of manors and plantations had no privilege, Einstein.

 

[JimBowie1958]

[

What you just did is WHY whites are still getting hammered with this shit. Everyone thinks AA and discrimination against whites are justified because covert racists still run the fucking country.

Your tiny brain has missed the point. The fact that blacks are mentally inferior means black failure is the fault of blacks not whites and AA must end.

You liberals refuse to look at the evidence of black inferiority. It's overwhelming.

That is too stupid even for a neonazi. you are nothing more than a fraud and a moron.

Fuck you.

Daily effects of white privilege

I decided to try to work on myself at least by identifying some of the daily effects of white privilege in my life. I have chosen those conditions that I think in my case attach somewhat more to skin-color privilege than to class, religion, ethnic status, or geographic location, though of course all these other factors are intricately intertwined. As far as I can tell, my African American coworkers, friends, and acquaintances with whom I come into daily or frequent contact in this particular time, place and time of work cannot count on most of these conditions.

1. I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.

2. I can avoid spending time with people whom I was trained to mistrust and who have learned to mistrust my kind or me.

3. If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area which I can afford and in which I would want to live.

4. I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me.

5. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.

6. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.

7. When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.

8. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.

9. If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege.

10. I can be pretty sure of having my voice heard in a group in which I am the only member of my race.

11. I can be casual about whether or not to listen to another person's voice in a group in which s/he is the only member of his/her race.

12. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the staple foods which fit with my cultural traditions, into a hairdresser's shop and find someone who can cut my hair.

13. Whether I use checks, credit cards or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial reliability.

14. I can arrange to protect my children most of the time from people who might not like them.

15. I do not have to educate my children to be aware of systemic racism for their own daily physical protection.

16. I can be pretty sure that my children's teachers and employers will tolerate them if they fit school and workplace norms; my chief worries about them do not concern others' attitudes toward their race.

17. I can talk with my mouth full and not have people put this down to my color.

18. I can swear, or dress in second hand clothes, or not answer letters, without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the poverty or the illiteracy of my race.

19. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.

20. I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.

21. I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.

22. I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of color who constitute the world's majority without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.

23. I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outsider.

24. I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to the "person in charge", I will be facing a person of my race.

25. If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven't been singled out because of my race.

26. I can easily buy posters, post-cards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys and children's magazines featuring people of my race.

27. I can go home from most meetings of organizations I belong to feeling somewhat tied in, rather than isolated, out-of-place, outnumbered, unheard, held at a distance or feared.

28. I can be pretty sure that an argument with a colleague of another race is more likely to jeopardize her/his chances for advancement than to jeopardize mine.

29. I can be pretty sure that if I argue for the promotion of a person of another race, or a program centering on race, this is not likely to cost me heavily within my present setting, even if my colleagues disagree with me.

30. If I declare there is a racial issue at hand, or there isn't a racial issue at hand, my race will lend me more credibility for either position than a person of color will have.

31. I can choose to ignore developments in minority writing and minority activist programs, or disparage them, or learn from them, but in any case, I can find ways to be more or less protected from negative consequences of any of these choices.

32. My culture gives me little fear about ignoring the perspectives and powers of people of other races.

33. I am not made acutely aware that my shape, bearing or body odor will be taken as a reflection on my race.

34. I can worry about racism without being seen as self-interested or self-seeking.

35. I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having my co-workers on the job suspect that I got it because of my race.

36. If my day, week or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether it had racial overtones.

37. I can be pretty sure of finding people who would be willing to talk with me and advise me about my next steps, professionally.

38. I can think over many options, social, political, imaginative or professional, without asking whether a person of my race would be accepted or allowed to do what I want to do.

39. I can be late to a meeting without having the lateness reflect on my race.

40. I can choose public accommodation without fearing that people of my race cannot get in or will be mistreated in the places I have chosen.

41. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help, my race will not work against me.

42. I can arrange my activities so that I will never have to experience feelings of rejection owing to my race.

43. If I have low credibility as a leader I can be sure that my race is not the problem.

44. I can easily find academic courses and institutions which give attention only to people of my race.

45. I can expect figurative language and imagery in all of the arts to testify to experiences of my race.

46. I can chose blemish cover or bandages in "flesh" color and have them more or less match my skin.

47. I can travel alone or with my spouse without expecting embarrassment or hostility in those who deal with us.

48. I have no difficulty finding neighborhoods where people approve of our household.

49. My children are given texts and classes which implicitly support our kind of family unit and do not turn them against my choice of domestic partnership.

50. I will feel welcomed and "normal" in the usual walks of public life, institutional and social.

Not in American history and further more in the media and representation in schools, Whites have been privileged over blacks and still are.

Cherry picking facts doesnt prove anything.

Just look at who has the disproprtionate benefit of government welfare programs.

It aint whites, though they get the biggest share, it is not per capita.

Wow, so white people are so evil they proivide welfare for other races disproportionately.

You are just as bad a racist as Shooter, but you hate your own race, is all that differs the two of you.

Not in American history

There were plenty oif white indentured servants in the US, you selfhating racist.

and further more in the media and representation in schools, Whites have been privileged over blacks and still are.

So the poor whites living in Appalachia have more privilege than Spike Lee?

That only makes sense to a racist like you.

47. I can travel alone or with my spouse without expecting embarrassment or hostility in those who deal with us.

48. I have no difficulty finding neighborhoods where people approve of our household.

49. My children are given texts and classes which implicitly support our kind of family unit and do not turn them against my choice of domestic partnership.

50. I will feel welcomed and "normal" in the usual walks of public life, institutional and social.

White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack by Peggy McIntosh

That is because whites are the majority here in the US. Go to Nigeria, Brazil, Kenya, India, New Guinea or just about any other Third World country and you wont feel so special, rose petal.

Historically some of those mentioned were British ruled and there was white privilege.

Not white privilegefor the serfs there, racist.

White denial about white privilege is common among white folk.

So if a white agrees with you, it demonstrates your point, and if they deny it they still support your claim? lol, that is logic for racists like you.

In the meantime to lighten things up and still make the point of white privilege

I could not care less what some assinine comedian thinks about issues he tries to exploit for fame and money, and it doesnt prove jack except who benefits from this slander on working class whites; the wealthy who pay them.

If you care a less then we can't have a discussion.

Serfs may have been persecuted and so have jews.

White privilege is relevant when talking about race, which is the topic I am discussing.

THE ERASURE OF RACE IN POLITICS & CULTURE
Key Points
• Politicians often talk about issues like poverty, housing, education, and healthcare, but they
rarely connect them to the role that racism plays in the United States.
• While the Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968, the highest number of discrimination
complaints based on race was 38 years later, in 2006.
• The media often reports individual hate crimes, while systematic and institutionalized injustice is
not typically reported. For example, a 2004 study published by the American Journal of Public
Health found that, between 1991 and 2000, there were almost one million black people in the
U.S. who died because of insufficient healthcare. The study received almost no media attention.
• Black and Latino males are three times more likely than white males to have their cars stopped
and searched for drugs – even though white males are four-and-a-half times more likely to
actually have drugs on them when they are stopped.
• During training sessions with law enforcement officers, Wise asks, “What’s the first thing you
think when you see a young black or Latino male driving a nice car in your neighborhood?”
Without exception, they respond, “Drug dealer.” Wise then asks, “What’s the first thing you
think when you see a young white male driving the same type of car in the same community?”
Again, without exception, they say, “Spoiled little rich kid. Daddy probably bought him the car.”
• The average white family in America has 12 times the accumulated net worth of the average
African American family, and eight times the accumulated net worth of the average Latino
family.
• In the middle of the 20th century, loans were all but off limits to people of color, even though
white working class families near the poverty line were routinely given loans.

Cherry picking facts doesnt prove anything.

Just look at who has the disproprtionate benefit of government welfare programs.

It aint whites, though they get the biggest share, it is not per capita.

Wow, so white people are so evil they proivide welfare for other races disproportionately.

You are just as bad a racist as Shooter, but you hate your own race, is all that differs the two of you.

when the new deal came out during the depression blacks were excluded from social security and other programs , so whites benefited in the 1960's from those programs and blacks did not.

The fact that blacks are also benefiting along with poor whites now is progress but it does not take away from historical white privilege on social programs.

There is no such thing as white advantage. There has only been noblility advantage and wealthy-folk advantage.

The millions of serfs and indentured servants who died in the mud of manors and plantations had no privilege, Einstein.

Not in American history

There were plenty oif white indentured servants in the US, you selfhating racist.

and further more in the media and representation in schools, Whites have been privileged over blacks and still are.

So the poor whites living in Appalachia have more privilege than Spike Lee?

That only makes sense to a racist like you.

The discussion is about race and white privilege, this is not about me, you don't know me.

Racism is a tragic historical accident that is maintained today only by all the 'remedies' being applied against it.

It's no accident, and it is most certainly not "maintained today only by all the 'remedies' being applied against it." That is just one of many excuses that the weak among us sometimes fall back on to try and justify their own inability to overcome base animal instincts that more evolved humans have learned to control and move beyond.

No, as it is understood today, the concept of race stems from an historical accident that the white northern Europeans hit the industrial age before anyone else along with how to navigate using astronomical charts, time of day and precise angles of measurement to various stars.

This allowed whites to spread out and trade with many tropical nations whose empires we sliding into moral decay and political degeneracy. European tactics and military structures and logistical systems were far superior to anything the third world nations could put on the field and that was primarily due to the incessant warfare of Europe. They h ad a lot of practice and innovation.

The Songhai Empire and others south of the Saharah were regularly raided by Arabs from the north who kept burning efverything down, so blacks in NW Africa had no comparable government to the Ottomans, Moghuls or Manchuhs, and so were looked down apon because they had nothing to show and whites took that to be a sign of some kind of genetic incompetence at civilization when the geography and climate of these subsaharan regions were not suitable to large nation states.

So this accidental circumstantial contrast between whites and blacks spured what were considered obvious conclusions; blacks were inferior to whites. Thus racial superiority was born in the mind of white statesmen and the artificial psuedo science of race persists to our time. It would have died a decade or more ago, but so much resentment is being generated by AA that some whites no longer have neutral views on whites in every region of our country.

You dont grasp the simplest concepts about how to categorize objects, apparently.

When you set up categories that have huge variation internally and huge commonality to outside objects, then your categorization is useless.

Fat white Americans have more in common with fat black folks than they have in common with white nobles living a life of real privilege in France.

That you ignore the larger commonalities and focus despite all the contrary evidence in approaching the subject primarily on the basis of race proves you to be a racist, irrational and with an agenda, likely spawned from a hatred of whites.
