She'd get a belly-full of "white privilege".

President Jane Close Conoley of California State University has a message for you: if you are “light skinned,” are are likely the owner of “significant, unearned privilege” and, despite the fact that you might not look down upon other races, you are still likely a racist.
In an opinion piece called “Privilege at The Beach,” which is reference to Long Beach in California, where the college is located, Conoley had a few choice words for whites. Conoley herself is white.
“I’d like to do some thinking and talking about how to ensure The Beach is a zone of kindness and respect,” she begins her article. “A place where privilege is unaffected by skin color, national origin, who we love, religion, or disability, veteran, or social status.”
Conoley then explains that, if you’re white, you’re likely the owner of privilege. “Light skin color and high-income levels may attract significant unearned privilege,” she writes. “This privilege can manifest itself in numerous ways that afford automatic trust, deference, and security.”
And for those who are not white, they are subject to racism, intentional or not, from their white-skinned brethren. “Those who are less affluent with darker skin or from other cultures,” Conoley details, “can be targets of micro to macro aggressions, distrust, and low expectations for behavior.”

Another deranged academic.
Yes all the light skinned out there should feel lucky with their 4 Houses ,8 cars ,a Bank account full of cash and no Debit , oh my
That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Unless you're white.
The underlying, unstated assumption here is that the “privileged” have an obligation to accept being discriminated against, for the benefit of the “underprivileged”.
What if we openly reject that?
I agree completely. She should step down immediately and find a suitable replacement. Whites have benefited from discrimination. Non-whites have benefited from reverse discrimination and affirmative action. So everybody is guilty of racism.
California is no longer a state. It’s a nuthouse and the nuts are running it.
I don’t know the numbers. But Is light skin color also descriptive of dwindling middle-class tax payers who are paying for everybody else to go to school, including paying President Jane Close Conoley’s salary?
Big middle finger to this idiot leftist, and all others who believe such nonsense. I’ve never gained anything just because I am white, on the contrary I have earned scorn and reverse racism/sexism because I am a white/euro ancestry heterosexual male! F-EM. I’m sick of this B*LLSH**!!
Not when one is being pursued by a pack of feral thugs.
I wonder if she would feel the same way if she was fired from her job and her position was filled by a minority who was less qualified and had less education than she did. In other words, a victim of affirmative action. I doubt it. Stupid liberal.
Melaninist!
And this is why we left California.....idiot woman!
Six figure+ college admin. FRAUD who spouts this lib garbage, BUT probably doesn’t practice it herself off-campus
And I no longer care what people like you have to say about it.
Looks like President Jane missed another opportunity to keep her pie-hole closed.
Garrett Morris: Good evening, and welcome to “Black Perspective”. I’m your host, Garrett Morris. Tonight our guest is Mr. Julian Bond, and we’ll be talking about the myths surrounding black I.Q. Specifically, the myth that whites are inherently more intelligent than blacks.
Julian Bond: Good evening, Garrett.
Garrett Morris: Now, Julian, perhaps you could explain something to me. In all these studies comparing black I.Q. to white I.Q., what kind of test is used to measure I.Q.’s in the first place?
Julian Bond: Well, this is the major problem with these studies. The measurements of I.Q. which form the basis of comparison come from tests composed by whites for whites. The tests are culturally biased; it’s not surprising that whites would score better than blacks.
Garrett Morris: Could you give us an example of what you’re talking about?
Julian Bond: Certainly. Here are some questions that have appeared on recent I.Q. tests. Number one: “You have been invited over for cocktails by the officer of your trust fund. Cocktails begin at 4:30, but you must make an appearance at a 6:00 formal dinner at the Yacht Club. What do you do about dress?
A. Wear your blue-striped seersucker suit to cocktails and change into your tuxedo in the bathroom, apologizing to your host for the inconvenience.
B. Wear your tuxedo to cocktails, apologizing to your host for wearing a dinner jacket before 6:00 PM.
C. Walk to the subway at Columbus Circle and take the “A” Train uptown.”
Garrett Morris: Uh.. I guess I’d choose the last one.
Julian Bond: I’m sorry, that’s incorrect.
Garrett Morris: Damn.
Julian Bond: Here’s another: “When waxing your skis for a cross-country run, you should...”
Garrett Morris: [ interrupting ] Well, I think I understand the problem with the tests. But the fact is that people have been saying that white people are smarter than black for hundreds of years. We’ve only had I.Q. tests for 20 or 30 years. How did the idea of white intellectual superiority originate?
Julian Bond: That’s an interesting point. My theory is that it’s based on the fact that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
Garrett Morris: [ not sure he heard that right ] Say what?
Julian Bond: I said I think it might have grown out of the observation that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
Garrett Morris: I don’t get it.
Julian Bond: It’s got nothing to do with having white blood. It’s just that descendants of the lighter-skinned African tribes are more intelligent than the descendants of the darker-skinned tribes. Everybody knows that.
Garrett Morris: This is the first time I’ve heard of it.
Julian Bond: Seriously? It was proven a long time ago.
Garrett Morris: Well, I still don’t quite understand. We’re out of time right now, but perhaps you could come back on the show again and explain it further.
Julian Bond: There’s very little to explain - it’s just like I told you.
Garrett Morris: Well, we are out of time. Good night. [ to Julian ] If you could repeat it just once more...
She'd get a belly-full of "white privilege".
