Outrage at NC college as 'white, male, Christian able-bodied and straight' students are told...
Daily Mail ^ | Aug. 20, 2016 | Ariel Zilber

A North Carolina university became embroiled in controversy on Friday after a student group posted a 'privilege board' on campus which calls on white, male, able-bodied, Christian, or cisgender people to 'check their privilege.'

Students at Appalachian State University notice the board when they enter Plemmons Student Union, a major campus hub that has allowed the incendiary board to remain in place since last semester.

The board's existence, which was first reported last year by the web site Campus Reform, has conservatives outraged over what they perceive as the singling out of one religious group as well as the imposition of a political point of view on unsuspecting students.

The board first surfaced last year in a residence hall, but now it has been placed in a more prominent location with greater exposure to students.

I’d choose West over just about anybody.

The problem is... It’s not nonsense. It is becoming more prevalent and if whites don’t start standing up to it, it will become a norm. Like it already is at most colleges. It is becoming more and more acceptable to bash whites this will not end well if we don’t stop it.

What about tolerance, inclusiveness, and all that?

Did you notice all that black privilege that allowed those black guys from Kenya to win distance races and those black guys who win sprints and those black guys are way over-represented in basketball, to name one sport?

We need some fan protests at some colleges that have mostly black basketball teams - “You are on this team because of black privilege.” There are societal structures of inequality in athletics. Check your black privilege at the gym door. All black player have to wear 50 pound weights on each leg so they can’t jump higher than white guys.

Have you read the 2,000 word story, “Harrison Bergeron?” If not, try it!

The end result of ranking how someone feels as of paramount importance and no one should ever feel bad - how dare you disagree with me, you only disagree because you hate me, that’s an assault you evil hater, I have to hit you!
That’s the SJW mindset.

Change the name of the school to APPLE-CHAIN STATE. That board has only one purpose: to put a guilt trip on stupid people who enrolled in that institution thinking that they were going to get an education. What they are paying for (most going into debt) is brainwashing by a Marxist faculty. Pity those STUPID STUDENTS!

They are being put in chains while bobbing for an apple that doesn’t exist. APPLE-CHAIN STATE.

This needs to be mocked,

Two ways (mebbe more) to go on this:
1) Under "White Privilege", write "A father at Home", "A job", "A work ethic", "Hard work", "No sense of entitlement", etc.
2) Write "Black Privilege" - "leave your attitude here".

Maybe that would work. Since I have a huge boat’s worth of a boat load of self confidence I would add in self deprecating humor along with it. Since Political Correctness is a religion it has its confessions of sins as part of its liturgy. What you wrote would be part of my confession.
