Political Correctness: A healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian man has unfair advantages in the U.S. military over other soldiers, says a training manual approved by the Pentagon, warning in great detail about a so-called White Male Club.
Those who thought the U.S. military was already the ultimate level playing field, a place where skill and fighting ability were what mattered, not gender, race or religious belief, were sadly mistaken, at least according to a 600-plus-page manual used by the military to train its Equal Opportunity officers.
According to the manual, put together by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI), and approved by the Pentagon, the U.S. military mirrors and is drawn from a racist society where whites have an unfair advantage, a situation that carries over to military service.
"Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege," reads a statement in the manual, which seems more intent on perpetuating white guilt and black victimhood than discussing sensitivities and tolerance.
Regarding a so-called "White Male Club," the manual states: "In spite of slave insurrections, civil war, the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, the women's suffrage movement leading to the 19th amendment, the civil rights movement, urban rebellions and the contemporary feminist movement, the club persists.
"Today some white people may use the tactic of denial when they say, 'It's a level playing field; this is a land of equal opportunity,'" the manual reads. "Assume racism is everywhere, every day," read a statement in a section titled, "How to be a strong 'white ally.' "

From my experience in the Service, in 1969 to 1974, they are correct. I was fit, willing to do what I was told, able to learn (I had some intelligence), didn’t bitch and moan, didn’t bully or steal from my squad members, didn’t gang up on others and didn’t slack off. I didn’t sneak up on others to assault them from behind, didn’t sabotage their equipment and stuck up for others who weren’t as capable as me. However, if you pissed in my Wheaties three of you went home in casts from broken bones.
"More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics"
Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way.
Among white adults, 10% think most white Americans are racist; 38% believe most blacks are racist, and 17% say most Hispanics are racist.
This isn’t just usual PC, but much, much worse.
Get familiar with the term “Critical Race Theory”, because that’s what this is.
The guy who does the whole “White Girl Bleed A Lot” thing has a recent article showing how CRT is going to be used to justify black on white violence ...
Someone needs to be fired over this.
Yeh life isn’t fair. Deal with it.
So put the black lesbians and trannies in the front lines!
No more having to follow the privileged class into battle...
lead on
It’s awesome, isn’t it? /s
you are already describing the civilian political appointees obama has put in control of the military
and just wait until you see what a Hillary Rodham DoD looks like
“There’s nothing that makes me feel more privileged than have to compete for employment with people that have a fraction of my qualifications and not getting the job because I’m white.”
That’s right; the Pentagon document should come as no surprise, since it is the military arm of the government that encourages legalized racial/gender discrimination already.
Fine.
Shove a 10 pound weight in their pocket like they do jockeys and call it a day.
Absolutely. - Antonio Gramsci (1881-1937) was an Italian journalist and socialist. He called for Marxists to actively spread their ideology in a gradual, incremental, stealth manner, by infiltrating all existing societal institutions and embedding it, largely without being noticed, in the popular mind. This, he emphasized, was to be an evolutionary, rather than a revolutionary, process that, over a period of decades, would cause an ever-increasing number of people to embrace Marxist thought, until at last it achieved hegemony. Gramsci described this approach as a “long march through the institutions.” Among the key institutions that would need to be infiltrated were the cinema and theater, the schools and universities, the seminaries and churches, the media, the courts, the labor unions, and at least 1 major political party.
This communist indoctrination is rooted in Critical Theory which was espoused by the Frankfurt School during the 1930s and thereafter when the coommunist professors immigrated to the U.S. to flee Nazi Germany. Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a further communist academic discipline focused upon the application of critical theory, a critical examination of society and culture, to the intersection of race, law, and power.
Our white grandkids won't know what hit them.
Thank you for jogging my memory on the name of this. FR tools are useful too...I clicked on the Keyword: criticalracetheory under the article above and got a list of previous articles posted that are relevant to it.
There was something going on in the media about it in March of 2012. I found an article at Breitbart -
"We can see the clear footprint of CRT all over the Obama Administration. President Obama obviously believes that the system is unjust, upholding racism and requiring “community organizing” to change it in earth-shaking ways. He appoints Supreme Court judges on the basis of race and gender; his Attorney General refuses to enforce the law equally, because to do so would be to enhance racism. When President Obama said he wanted fundamental change, he meant it at the deepest level."
Thank you for the additional information.
"A healthy, black, heterosexual, Muslim man ...."
"A healthy, brown, heterosexual, Atheist woman.... "
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Its the Law of the Land!
Gunny Hartman said it best;
From a purely objective standpoint, white males have a FAIR ADVANTAGE because they founded WESTERN CIVILIZATION and all the individual liberties and successes that go with it.
Other races/cultures who chose oppressive regimes throughout history have a FAIR disadvantage because they did not object to being controlled.
How else will we revert to the mean?
Is this sarcasm? I served 24 years and just retired. I found it to be completely fair across the board. Sarcasm is pretty funny though. You almost had me.
Then I guess we should fill our military with white males, because we want every advantage we can get if we are involved in a war.
Oh wait, that’s not what they mean, because apparently the pentagon isn’t really about fighting and winning wars anymore.
Too bad that this is for real. Where, how does the PC crowd come up with this cow dung?
Thanks for the ping.
