'White guilt' video shown to high school students irks community [Henrico VA]
Fox News ^ | February 09, 2016

An animated film designed as a lesson in "racial discourse" for students at a Virginia high school has led to backlash from community members who've taken issue with not-so subtle references to so-called white privilege throughout the video. [...]

Officials at Glen Allen High School in Henrico said in a statement that the video, "The Unequal Opportunity Race," was a presentation involving "American history and racial discourse." [...]

As the video begins, four athletes take their marks at the start of a race. While two white athletes immediately take off at the sound of the starting gun, two non-white athletes must remain in the starting block while a red light blocks their path. The non-white athletes are bombarded with words such as "slavery," "broken treaties," "genocide" and "segregation." The white athletes continually run around the track, getting older as their batons -- marked with a money symbol -- grow larger and larger. Eventually they hand the baton off to a younger white athlete running beside them. ...

Brought to your local schools by the same type of folks who fake racist ‘happenings’ on a school campus. Fake nooses in trees, fake (and probably mis-spelled) graffiti on rest room mirrors with poorly drawn swastikas. Sowing the seeds of hate is what they love to do.

Perhaps they should make a video of different cave men sitting around the latest invention (fire) telling stories. Then certain groups of cave men begin making progressively higher tech inventions such as farming, medicine, refrigeration, radio, television, airplanes, even rockets to the moon, while the other groups continued to make fire and tell stories.

Whenever they say “let’s have a discussion on race” they mean “Bow down, Whitey, in abject submission, for thou art guilty of the sins of all Whites at all times everywhere in the world.”

Are the majority of white and asian parents #1.Not paying attention, #2. Too chicken to speak up, in #3. In agreement with the propaganda? I don’t get how this obvious dysfunction is permitted to continue, unaddressed, unabated.

Where I work a black person would be immediately snapped up because of AA. Instead women, as another protected class get the jobs. Yet we have no black people working here, because you need an engineering or some other science related degree to be considered. Black people, if they have a modicum of ability, have lots of opportunities.

Here’s the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX_Vzl-r8NY

One huge problem with this video is that even while it acknowledges the fact that life involves competition, it falsely depicts that there’s some kind of uniform, mutual starting point in time(historically, there is not), and it implies that there ought to be some sort of uniformly recognized standard of “fairness.”

Well, if standards are to be recognized, then we must assess the respective races according to standards of biological and civilizational development. Blacks lagged far behind whites in this well before slavery came about(not to mention that Africans also enslaved upwards of a million whites in Northern Africa). Furthermore, that means that standardized tests should be applied to all, doesn’t it? Face it, leftists, group privilege is something all groups seek to enjoy, you just hate white people for being more biologically and culturally advanced, and therefore dominant.

How about a video where the nonwhite athletes take off running, carrying batons with “affirmative action,” “quotas,” and “set-asides” on them, while the red light holds back the whites?

Reminds me of the time, many years ago, when my oldest son’s 5th grade science teacher required each student to write a letter their congressman ufrging him to fight global warming.

Myself, and one of the other fathers, were both in the principal’s office the next morning. It was fun!

The liberals have successfully curtailed my charitable donations to almost nothing. I give to a distinct few now and nobody that will reallocate my gift to losers and race baiters.

Yeah I’m sure they show plenty of brothers spiking the ball in the end zone and then doing their celebration dance.

Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc., etc.
Not for nothing was the creation of free public state-run education made the tenth plank of communism.

Also Goal #32 of the list of communist goals for the USA:
Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
Note that the goal is control, of course.

That’d be “racist”. Of course.
