Berea College, a small Christian school in Kentucky, will host a seminar that associates “white citizenship” with terrorism.
The flyer also takes a critical approach to the “Make America Great Again” slogan.
“Despite calls for multiculturalism and color-blindness, segments of white America mourn their so-called loss of privilege, consistently begging to return to the nostalgic past in which their esteemed value as white citizens went unquestioned,” read a promotional poster obtained by Young America’s Foundation.
“Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ appears to follow suit by offering a seemingly benign promise to return America to a previously ‘great’ past,” the poster states. “But the offer to ‘Make America Great Again, Again,’ requires we refocus on how the last four years of daily tweets and administrative actions redefine whiteness. If terrorism is defined as the use of violence and threats to create a state of fear towards particular communities and identities, then this is what ‘Trumpism’ is at its core.”
Berea College defended the controversial and racist event in a statement to The Todd Starnes Radio Show.
“To some, the provocative title of the event implies that Berea is not a welcoming place for individuals with differing political views. That is not true,” the statement read. “At Berea, we strive to live out our motto: God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth. Berea accepts students of all faiths (or none at all), religious beliefs, ethnicities and political leanings, creating a diverse environment that encourages acceptance, respect and even appreciation across our differences.”
The college said they encourage open dialog on difficult topics.
“Racism and white nationalism have been topics of great debate over the past five years,” they said. “The event planned for next week seeks to confront aspects of the political spectrum that relate to the difficult topic of race in America. While that may cause discomfort, it is a valid and important conversation in this time of political and racial division. It is our hope that these types of conversations will occur across the country. Open, honest dialogue is essential to understanding racism and moving toward an anti-racist society.”
In the spirit of open and honest dialogue, this seminar smacks of racism against white people and Trump supporters.
If Berea College really wants to heal the racial and political divisions in America, they can start by refusing to host speakers who hate white Trump supporters.
I’m offended they were offended.
They’re getting money for this and BLM is likely involved.
Some infor on a school in Manhattan with the same kind of agenda.
Berea is looney-land. The tuition is $0. Worth every penny.
I’d tell the students that agree with this nonsense to take it elsewhere and I’d take my kid out of that “Christian” college until they get back to real education!!

And I’m offended that you’re offended by them being offended......(snort)
No where else in the world have non-white minorites prospered so well as in America.
Critical Race theory is just an euphemism for irrational cultural Marxism, an excuse to attack America from within.
Critical Race theory does not try to improve. It is only aimed at destruction.

Sounds more like apostasy to me. What a bunch of racists.
Kentucky wokenistas?
Nothing “Christian” about this indoctrination center. Probably best to burn it down and start over.
Historically, this the kind of thinking that was used to justify enslavement of one group by another. Isn’t it ironic how subsequent generations walk into the same traps that they so arrogantly ridicule?
Good thing I’m Trans Illegal Alien.
There they go again, with that nonsense about “open, honest” “conversation” and ”dialog” about race.
A “Christian” school? Well...maybe. After all,Ted Kennedy,Bella Pelosi and Osama Obama all claim/claimed to be “Christians”.
“Berea College, a small Christian school in Kentucky”
Christian?
Really?
Regardless of the faith, however, it obviously has no standards.
“Berea College, a small Christian school in Kentucky, will host a seminar that associates “white citizenship” with terrorism.”
They will later need a to host a seminar that associates “fraud and idiocy” with education, which might distract attention from the earlier seminar, seeing as it is just “naked racism”.
They won’t do that, but someone might just consider choosing a local venue and providing this valuable educational service to the students of Berea College, as they deserve much better than they are getting.
Let’s see... I’m English/Irish, but my Mother’s Maternal Grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee. So do I get some sort of carve out or something? Or am I supposed to have some crazy inner turmoil when my Cherokee part is supposed to lecture my English/Irish part? All of this crap is just nuts and I’m really getting sick of it! I keep thinking that there has to be some breaking point somewhere.
