Justus Walker was enjoying his Grade 11 class in sociology. Then came the lesson on white privilege. The teacher handed out a checklist with instructions for the students to score themselves on how much of it they had. The questions included things such as: “I can go into a supermarket and find the staple foods which fit with my cultural traditions.” The answers would determine their “privilege points.” After they had completed the exercise, the students were asked to line up in order, from least points to most, and discuss the impact of white privilege on their lives.
Some of the questions were hard to answer, because Justus is multiracial – some Scottish, some Jamaican, some Indian, and so on. Which cultural traditions is he supposed to identify with? He doesn’t self-identify by race, ethnic origin, or skin colour. “I just am Canadian,” he says. As for ethnic food, “I can find Jamaican food in a grocery store but I can’t find haggis.”
White privilege is now a part of the Ontario school curriculum. It is taught in teacher training, and is a routine part of anti-bias education. The idea is that white people benefit from unearned advantages based on race. Canada is depicted as a deeply racialized society where people are automatically advantaged, or disadvantaged, by their skin tone, race and (by extension) gender.
Justus and his mom, Karen, were guests this week on Ontario Today, a CBC Radio call-in show that, to its great credit, dared to tackle this incendiary subject. Among the other guests was Arlo Kempf, who has taught anti-discrimination to teachers at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. “Adding the lens of privilege implicates everyone in the conversation,” he explained. “We have to look at those invisible spaces of whiteness where privilege goes unchecked.”

This is what we get when we let the lunatic left invade our institutions.
As Mexicans have invaded my town, one of the first things I noticed, I’m having trouble finding some of the foods I’ve bought all my life. But Mexican food is available in abundance.
As for “unearned white privilege,” in a country that has been majority white for most of its history, whites darned well SHOULD have privilege! I’m sure Japanese have “Japanese privilege” in Japan. If you want foods of your cultural heritage, he’s an idea: Stay in your home country.
Hey, just imagine a world without white people....I mean what did they ever do that was significant? /s.
This forced white guilt stuff is dangerous. It will make the mentally weak commit suicide (or cultural suicide) or make the mentally unhinged decide to pay whitey back for, well, whatever.
It’s not “white privilege”, it’s “Puritan work ethic”. Behavior begets consequences.
Should I be able to move to Somalia and demand they change their culture to accommodate me?
The modern world and all of its comforts and benefits exists because of clever Western European white males.
The lesser people and cultures should bow down in homage.
The world would immediately devolve into chaos, a world war follows
Death and destruction everywhere. Diseases. Now who’s going to find antidotes and cures for those?
Answer: No one.
The only survivors will be patches here and there. The rest of the world will go to hell. And deservedly so.
I think that's exactly what it's intended to do. To destroy capitalism, you have to destroy work ethic, honor, independence, individuality... in other words, you have to destroy white culture.
Subhuman kufir have no privilege. Pay your jizz’ tax.
And the Marxist minions are doing it at every level of society.
This white privilege thing is, of course, the natural outcome of a superior intellect and an inborn incentive to achieve. We have to ask, where would Africa or Africans be without western influence? We know the answer and they know the answer. Cassius Clay once honestly stated, “I’m sure glad my granddaddy got on that boat.”

Very true. It’s considered wrong (as of now anyway) to say “I despise you for being white”. But it’s perfectly fine to say “I despise your white privilege”.
It’s a small jump from the second statement to the first.
Even as an 11th grader I would’ve thrown a fit and not let anyone do that to me. I don’t care if it is in school. Children need to be taught to stand up for themselves when it’s clear something isn’t right. They’re killing their spirits plain and simple.
Wait until blacks are in the majority. You’ll see privilege that will make your head spin.
The real sin is blatant albaphobia.
These fools do not know history.
He's a lumberjack and he's OK.
Most people would unless they had spent 11 years being conditioned, propagandized and brainwashed into guilt. Today, the mildest protest will earn you a label with the scarlet letter "R" which will make you a pariah among your peers. We need to understand the mind job liberals have been doing to generations of kids. It's no accident that public opinion has gradually come to accept the unthinkable.
The destruction of this nation is coming, as Lincoln predicted, from within and it started when we ceded control of academia to the left.
Go to f*cking hell you racist pigs! I’m sick of you putting people into artificial groups and judging them based on group guilt.
The word “invidious” comes to mind. As does the word “odious.”
