Warning: White people singing Rihanna could cause ‘microaggressions’
FOX ^ | 4/11/2016

Posted on 04/12/2016 4:56:41 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

You can’t be singing Rihanna’s “Umbrella” if you happen to be a white fella – fella.

That’s what kids learned during a lesson on “privilege” and “microaggressions” in a human relations theory class at the University of Oklahoma.

Ah, yes. There’s nothing quite like a bit of white-shaming courtesy of the American taxpayers.

“I was told as a white woman it’s insulting and a microaggression for me to cover or sing a Rihanna song because I’m not from Barbados,” a student who was in the class told me. “I was literally told to go sing the Star-Spangled Banner.”

The student, who asked not to be identified, sent me copies of both assignments – including a 100-item checklist to determine how much “privilege” you have.

For example, you’ve got privilege if “a stranger has never asked to touch my hair, or asked if it is real.”

Straight, white guys who have a job, vacation in Cabo, and go to church on Sunday are “very privileged.” Atheists, Muslims and anyone who works at a fast-food joint would be considered under-privileged.

The student who reached out to me wants to work in human resources – and the class is mandatory.

“They teach you that if you are not part of the minority you cannot be discriminated against,” she said. “A black person cannot be racist to a white person. A female cannot be sexist towards a man because men are the majority.”

Here’s a sampling of the 100-question privilege checklist:

· I am white.

· I have never been told I would “burn in hell” for my sexual orientation.

· I still identify as the gender I was born in.

· I work in a salaried job.

· I have never done my taxes myself.

·

· ·

Yeah, and you can’t have teams with Indian names, or do blackface, or clowns in black masks, or cook Mexican dishes, or have respect for Washington/Jefferson/Madison, or celebrate Columbus day, or breathe if you’re White. They won’t be satisfied until all Whites are bowing down, beating their breasts in abject, groveling submission begging forgiveness for being White.

All white people need to immediately pledge to never buy music written by or performed by minorities, out of respect for their culture. They don’t need our racist money.

#13 ~ “If these two items (among all the other claptrap in this assignment) offend your sensibilities, then you will never have the mentality it takes to work in an HR department…” ~

I used to work for a global corporation and the HR was a group of leftist wild-eyed zealots who made ‘diversity seminars’ mandatory for all employees.

It will only get more ridiculous when these students enter the workforce, I can guarantee that...

These ferals are going to quickly be lectured by their DNC superiors that spreading ooga booga music such as hip hop is actually a good thing for white people to do. After all, the liberals want whites to help destroy the decent parts of American culture as well as for non-whites to do so.

Whites can’t qualify for Food Stamps because it’s part of black culture?

Whites can’t stretch their earlobes and wear nose rings because it’s part of black culture?

Whites can’t garble their words and speak unintelligibly because it’s part of black culture?

White girls can’t get pregnant from unidentified black sperm donors because it’s part of black culture?

Whites can’t put letters together randomly to make home-made names for their babies because it’s part of black culture?

“A black person cannot be racist to a white person. A female cannot be sexist towards a man because men are the majority.”

Stupid lie right here.

Ridiculous. Logically does not compute.

Any person can be any thing to another. Good or bad. It's up to them.

All statements like this do is allow some people to treat others unfairly.

Jesus said "Do unto others as you would have done to you." It's THAT simple.

Maybe this will stop blacks from singing the national anthem at baseball games——and often ruining it.

I couldn’t figure out how to describe their singing “style” but you have done it for me.

I never thought I’d miss Kate Smith so much.

I'm not sure I follow your definition. Could you give an example?

I wonder if these idiots realize they are demanding not only physical ghettos but cultural ones.
OK, blacks, you can keep blood transfusions and rap but have to give up antibiotics, cell phones and antirvirals - whites invented that.
