DIVERSITY = WHITE GENOCIDE

White Privilege course is selling student debt slavery.

Walk away, get a couple jobs, pay off a house. NO DEBT.

White kids won’t suicide. They are smarter than the academic debt sellers.

The biggest evidence we DO NOT have white privilege: the fact that most interracial children don’t identify as white because it is not advantageous to do so.

My responses:

1. I am not a racist, so I do not care whether I am in the company of people of my race most of the time, only whether I am in the company of decent people with traditional values. I spend most of my time with family, shooters, Scouts, etc.
2. Like most people who do not act suspicious, I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.
3. I have no interest in turning on the television or opening to the front page of the paper. If I did, I would not care whether I saw people of my race widely represented.
4. When I am told about our national heritage or about civilization, I am more interested in what people did than in the skin color of those who accomplished things of importance, because I am not a racist.
5. I am more interested in whether my children will be given curricular materials with an academic orientation than in the skin color of those in their curricular materials.

I could go on, but the bottom line is that, as a normal person, I am not obsessed with skin color. I am interested in accomplishment and merit. There are far more important things in life than how well a bandage matches my “flesh” color - considering that the last one I wore was Crayola red, that is obviously not something I obsess over. I have a life, and it does not involve trying to make a profit from grievance.
