UMass-Amherst’s Mandatory Social Justice Classes Denounce ‘White Privilege’, ‘Cultural Imperialism’
Heat Street ^ | February 10, 2017 | Ian Miles Cheong

Colleges are institutions of learning, not centers for indoctrination. But some schools are making “social justice” classes mandatory for students who want to acquire their degrees and diplomas.

A student in one such program at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst has given a long interview detailing what actually happens in the classroom day to day—revealing some of the exercises that students are put through and the “facts” that are pushed on them.

All this humiliation over being born the wrong color for the low-low price of just $50,000 a year!

Great, maybe we need a Federal Law requiring them to actually Live in a Country where these Social Justice Policies are in effect, like Venezuela or South Africa or ZImbabwe. I think 90 Days should do the Trick.

Exactly. If Mao’s Cultural Revolutionaries saw what is going on in today’s American universities, they would be envious. People paying to be subjected to what the Red Guards forced on people.

This is a state school. Tax dollars should not be paying for this political indoctrination! We longsuffering Baystaters!

The CHOWM Must Die!
The Rise Of True Progressive Identity Politics
By Matt Bracken

My progressive friends and intersectional allies, the CHOWM really just have to die, and the sooner the better. I don’t care if they die of old age or of something else, but they had better die pretty soon, because let’s face it, they have f***ed up the entire world, and it’s only getting worse. The illegitimate “election” of the CHOWM-in-Chief was the last straw. Now it must finally be said out loud: the CHOWM must die, if our progressive, peace-loving peoples are to survive!

Look at almost any developing nation, or just look at our own inner cities. The CHOWM blood-suckers, who don’t even live there, have all the money and all the power, while our people are forced to suffer in poverty, misery, degradation and oppression. And whom shall I ask enslaved our beautiful, peaceful African people and dragged them to this miserable continent in the first place, 400 years ago? The CHOWM–and don’t you ever forget it!

Sure, some of our more timid progressive ally-sisters and ally-brothers will say that not all of the CHOWM are completely evil, that not all of them were slave masters and patriarchal colonial oppressors and racists and Islamophobes and cisgender bigots. They will point out that airplanes and televisions and smart phones were invented by the CHOWM. And while this may be true, it’s only because the CHOWM stole the best secrets from the ancient Africans and the other people of color around the world, people who would also have invented all of these things too, if the CHOWM had not oppressed them and held them down through colonialism, slavery, capitalism, white privilege, Islamophobia, the patriarchy, and cisgender bias of every kind.

But lucky for us, the CHOWM are easy to recognize in a crowd. In fact, they can’t hide at all. First of all, their skin is a nasty pasty white, and they are old and ugly and weak. And worst of all, they are all men. No, worst of all, they are white. No, worst of all, they are white men. Now, some non-Christian and non-conservative gay and trans men can be intersectional allies of the oppressed peoples, but not the CHOWM. The CHOWM can never be an ally, because they do not intersect with our oppressed peoples in any positive or beneficial way. The CHOWM are our eternal enemies and oppressors, period.

But there is some good news, (other than the fact that the CHOWM are very easy to spot). Most of the CHOWM are getting old, and they are going to die soon. Walk into any government office and look around: most of the CHOWM are really, really old. As soon as all of the CHOWM retire and die off, or just die off, they won’t be in charge anymore. And when the CHOWM are no longer our bosses, they won’t be able to protect those other pricks, the CHYWM. And then it will really be payback time for 400 years of oppression! No, make that 4,000 years, because of how the ancient CHOWM stole all of the best ideas from the ancient Africans, and used them to oppress all progressive peoples.

Now, because we can’t always tell the CHOWM from our own progressive LGBTQ – OWM intersectional allies, let’s just agree that all of the OWM must die. We can’t take any chances when it comes to the sneaky, lying CHOWM, because they are simply too dangerously evil to tolerate. And as far as the YWM, well, you must certainly understand that 100% of the CHOWM began life as YWM, so after 4,000 years of CHOWM oppression, don’t you think that they have had more than enough time being in charge? So all of the YWM must die too, or eventually we’ll be dealing with CHOWM oppression all over again.

And as far as our progressive WW intersectional ally sisters, for sure they are not part of the patriarchy, (thank Gaia!), but let’s face it, haven’t they been far too close to the CHOWM for far too long? Collaborating with the CHOWM at every turn, “marrying” them, sleeping with them, and together, making lots of little CHYWM who invariably grow up to be CHOWM? Of course they have. So just to be on the safe side, let’s get rid of the WW and especially the YWW, because let’s face it, it takes a YWW to make a YWM who will grow up to become a CHOWM. Nits make lice.

So all progressive peoples must finally agree: we just need to get rid of the OWM, the YWM, the OWW, and the YWW, if we want to be absolutely sure that we have eradicated the CHOWM menace from the Earth. Or to simplify the message, let’s just get rid of the evil W strain of humanity. Only then can the peace-loving non-CHOWM peoples of the world all live together in perfect harmony, sharing the unending social progress that we deserve. In 2017, all reasonable progressives must understand that 4,000 years of CHOWM oppression have been more than enough.

The CHOWM must die.

But such activities are prohibited at GITMO as a violation of the rights of terrorist killers to their own beliefs ...

If GITMO ever does close it could become an extension class site for mandatory diversity studies - water boarding authorized for conservatives

“Cultural imperialism” is an international utopian ideal for Communists.

If NE lost against Atlanta, they might have.

Seriously, the white male students at Zoo-Mass go nuts after Sox/Pats/Celtics/Bruins "achieve" some fleeting milestone, or don't "achieve" it.

And rarely do the perps get tossed, or have to pay for damages.

They continue to sling this meme of “white privilege” around, which is nothing but more “hate whitey” rhetoric.

I’m as yet unable to see where I have any more privilege than any other race, except to say, I had the privilege of being raised by parents who never factored in skin color as a “disadvange”.

My parents focused on making sure I was fed, clothed, educated, and loved.

I was instilled with the confidence that I could make a charge on the world with hard work, honesty, and honor.

My skin color never gave me the idea that I was a victim, or deserving of a free ride in life. I’ve worked for more than forty years, and even now - at 71 - I feel somewhat guilty that my health prevents me from continuing to work and make my own way.

No. I have no special “privilege” because I’m white. I’ve worked, paid my taxes, invested, and saved for the little that I have accumulated over the years. I don’t owe it to anyone except my family.

blaming someone of a different color skin for your lot in life is racism at its pinnacle, the popular meme is that people of color can’t be racists. Are we going to believe the evidence happening every day, or, believe our lying eyes?

Nope! You’re from Mass, and my children are Southern...so you probably wouldn’t want them.

I don’t deal with alcoholics, or druggies.
