Corey Winchester, an African American educator who went to Northwestern University to get his college degree, experienced a “microagression” this week on campus and, as a result, decided that he must stand against the racism he sees there.
He detailed what happened in a letter written to the college’s newspaper, The Daily Northwestern. The piece is titled, “Northwestern, check your damn privilege.”
Mr. Winchester now works at Evanston Township High School and is working with the group SOAR (Students Organized Against Racism). According to Mr. Winchester, he and the group of students traveled to Northwestern for a conference; after it was finished, they went to buy lunch on campus.
Then, a “privileged… White, able-bodied, male” went to get food; Mr. Winchester believes that the student cut in front of the line. When asked to move, the student said that since he went to school there and was on a short schedule, he had the right to get food in front of Mr. Winchester’s students. “I’m not moving. I have class and I am entitled to be here,” the student said.
Mr. Winchester declared this action was “racist, classist, and sexist.” He also said that Northwestern was at fault for the sentiments displayed by the students, declaring “the behavior and language of the privileged continues to sustain systems of oppression at NU.”

I went to Six Flags at night with my better half and some friends. Should I recount how many blacks jumped the line in front of us on nearly every ride?
When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I’m going to err on the side of leftism and say this likely is true.
Another black guy searching for significance on the train of racism. Sorry pal, get in line.
Just goes to show that when your whole purpose is to find racism then you’ll uncover it everywhere you look.
SEXIST? IS this dipstick perhaps a member of the highly vaunted lgbtLSMFT community ???
Yep, I’ve seen that all the time,
and they do it with a couple of added bonuses -
if you take it without saying anything, they’ve succeeded in getting one over on you and in forcing you to submit.
If you DO say anything, it gives them an excuse for a 6 on 1 beatdown.
What an a*****e. He must not remember when he was a student and had to eat a hurried lunch in order to get to afternoon classes.
Won’t go to six flags because of that reason. Last time there the State Police were at the gates checking for weapons. Once in the gangs of Amish youth were just running to the front of the lines and management did nothing.
That is just normal. The other day I had to tell two women to stop cutting seeing as everyone else was to afraid to tell these women
really? I saw the same thing happen at Valley Fair!
homosexuals and blacks are the victims don’t you know.
The homosexuals have more rights than the 1st amendment now and blacks are always the victims.
I feel bad for blacks who have done well and don’t fall for the victim status but instead work hard and do well.
Thank you, LBJ - for removing black fathers from the lives of their children.
Oh wait! I forgot! He was probably majoring in complexion studies and never had to go to class.
Three questions:
- What would his response have been if it had been a black student cutting in line?
- What would his response have been if he had seen a black student cut in front of a white person?
- Were there not any whites who were affected by this horrendous act (i.e., cut in front of)?
I was standing there...the counter girl looked at me..as she was talking to two people there at the counter. They weren't ordering..they were just talking.
I had made my choice...and the server just ignored me. Enough time had elapsed...to where she should have asked me...something. She didn't....I stood there another minute or two...finally the friends she was talking to told her to wait on me.
She was short with me, attitude...but not overtly. They were all black...and I am white.
I didn't write the local paper, nor did I complain to Corporate PopEyes's. Just will never go back there.
The black "teacher" ought to get a damn grip!! And somehow....I think his story is not all true.
Are you Aurelius?
Did he need stitches?/s
I’m being oppressed!
Unless the cutter was mooselim.
Otherwise, I’m being oppressed!
