White Canadians Apologize for Having ‘Unfairly Benefited’ from Skin Color
Breitbart ^ | 3/15/2018

School administrators in British Columbia are trying to fight racism by posting a series of white-shaming posters on school walls, in an effort to educate students on the evils of “white privilege.”

The posters, based on a similar billboard campaign mounted last summer in Saskatoon, bear messages encouraging students to “confront racism” and to not “be blind to the invisible system I am a part of.”

Rather than play down the importance of race in favor of common humanity, Ms. Downs and her comrades-in-arms believe it is critical for students and citizens to become not less but more race-conscious. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of “a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” is apparently not shared by the good folks of School District 74.

Not by the academic authorities, anyway.

School officials reportedly made the mistake of initiating the poster campaign without informing students’ parents, which has provoked backlash among families who don’t believe it is a sin to be born white. One parent of mixed-race children, Kansas Field Allen, took issue with the poster crusade and posted photos of the posters on social media, which generated a flurry of comments, mostly critical of the “white privilege” campaign.

Some complained of the “blatant indoctrination” of students, while others expressed their consternation over an unwillingness to focus on common humanity rather than racial divides. “Shouldn’t we work on being inclusive rather than exclusive?” a typical comment read

What do you expect from a nation that gave away a sizable chuck of its territory to an Indian tribe?

It’s a good thing the US is not infected with it.

Even in the perfect utopia of Canada...

I know several Cans that can’t, they’re white, lost traction in the 90’s, divorced, estranged from their progeny... studios and 1 room flats, sporadic employment...

Financially they’re hosed. I doubt they apologized.

Yet they live in the socialist mosaic of perfection. It ain’t.

I am ashamed to be a male, white, hetero, right handed, English speaking, literate, and mammalian. I'm sure I've left something out and I'm ashamed of that too.
But, I actually am also a conservative Hispanic and, I don't know, somehow, I have succeeded in the land of opportunity. Thanks, America!

If they are going to pick a group of people to be their "Jews" for their Nazi pogrom, they need to pick a smaller group that is not capable of beating their @$$.

If they keep this up, they will not like the eventual and all too predictable outcome.

This is what liberals believe: your race/color/gender defines you and you’re victims.

Unless you’re white. Then its game over.

The idiots pushing this agenda DO REALIZE that they have gone too far with this?
When whites reach the breaking point with this nonesense the landscape will explode and leftists will pay the bill.

This is the normal conduct for liberals.

They preach equality and inclusiveness but their method is to create the perception of inequality and use it to justify different treatment for different people.

This is their usual pattern:

In this case the 'Haves' supposedly have the unfair advantage of being Caucasian and are attacked for just existing.

Teresa Downs makes up for her white privilege with a room temperature IQ. People with room temperature IQs should do something other than pretend to “educate.”

This sh*t is getting way out of hand! Probably, what’s ironic, is it’s white people doing it! They hate their heritage!
