White privilege is not a thing.
Mentioning those two words in a time when America is more diverse than it has ever been is a red herring. White privilege is a topic so easily defeated that liberals simply entertain the notion just to bring up how racist white America still is in their eyes.
It’s a deflection of the real problems we currently face – illegal immigration, 93 million not in the workforce, Iran, etc.
The left wants it to be true, but their failed attempts on the subject never manifest into coherent logic. It’s the victim mentality.
“Oh poor me, I can’t seem to get ahead in life when the white man keeps taking all my opportunities!”
The fact that a man or woman is white has little bearing on this country. America is for the people, by the people. All people.
How does this have any place in our military when white, black, and brown alike are fighting and giving their lives to keep us safe?
From DailyCaller:
A diversity training session for the Army turned into a lecture on “white privilege” Thursday.
The Equal Opportunity briefing, which was presented to approximately 400 soldiers in the 67th Signal Battalion in Fort Gordon, Ga., garnered attention after a photograph of a powerpoint slide of the presentation was posted on Facebook.
The slide, titled, “the luxury of obliviousness,” states, “[R]ace privilege gives whites little reason to pay a lot of attention to African Americans or to how white privilege affects them.” It adds, quoting, “To be white in American [sic] means not having to think about it.”
Cpt. Lindsay Roman, a spokesperson for the Army, told USA Today the presentation material was not authorized and not part of the standard presentation. The Equal Opportunity instructor, instead, chose to incorporate the topic of white privilege into the presentation.
The politically correct left is harming our country in more ways than it realizes. They can’t comprehend that.
Minorities can be racist too, folks. All it takes is a white privilege seminar to prove that.
Sensitivity training is an absurdity of the highest order.
On Facebook, people expressed outrage over the inclusion of the topic of white privilege. Some individuals even joked that they would file an Equal Opportunity complaint against the Equal Opportunity course, pointing out hypocrisy of singling out white people.
As a result of this situation, Roman said, “To prevent further instances, all unit instructors will receive additional training on the importance of following Army EO training requirements.”
According to USA Today, Army officials are currently investigating the matter at Fort Gordon.
This isn’t an example of the secular elitist left merely expressing an opinion. This is an illustration of white people being told that because of the color of their skin they are given societal advancement.
If only our elected Republicans showed a spine on such issues, maybe we wouldn’t have to discuss whether or not all Americans are given the same opportunities to succeed.
This happened at Ft Garbage, errrr Gonorrhea Geoga?
Back in my day, I would have called out this horse Crap no metter my rank. And I had no problem making rank before I was injured. This is pure horse Crap and harms unit cohesion!
Active Duty ping.
This reminds me of the AFRT anti-racism commercials that used to play. Always aimed at white guys.
Presentation Facilitator: “Lets see...”white work ethic”, no, no, no...”white hard work”, no, no...”white discipline”...hmm...probably not...how about “White Privilege”...there we go! This will be politically correct!
I was in the Navy from ‘69 to ‘73. Never once did I see a white promoted over a black because of race. And never one did I see any whites pissed off when a black got promoted.
Now, there was some of that blank panther crap going on that I wasn’t crazy about. Neither were the career blacks.
EO training in the military was always, in my experience, about making racist attacks on people that looked white.
It used to make some of my black friends embarrassed by the racist asses.
Now, why would them there Whyaaait-Boy Honkies want to go and re-up??
You white? You racist.
Obama’s Army.
This is the liberal racism. Hate and scapegoat whitey. Every time they get power, they pour it on. It also includes hate Christians and heterosexual (normal) white males. The hated ones should pull out of the military and let the superior races, feminazis and homos carry it forward. See how far they get.
