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.
DITTO!
The trouble with “White” trope is that it is utter Gat. the vast majority of perceived Whitesare, that like most Americans they are of mixed race, MUTTS if you will.
The thing is how much racial DNA do to have to have to be branded as of a certain race?
Up until recently the DNC said only one drop of Black blood made you Black. But what is their benchmark now?
When it comes to reparations, will it be doled out based percentages of Black DNA? Because if it is, then there are going to be a lot of disappointed people and an equal amount of surprised people.
I know, it’s crazy. My Wife’s family, mostly Irish, Welsh and Scandanavian has a little African and Native lineage, mine’s mostly Polish and some Lithuanian and a little Slavic. I recently found out there may be some Iberian in my family, Spanish? Portuguese? Andalusan? Does that mean I could pass for a...LIGHT SKINNED HISPANIC???
Being relentlessly attacked and accused of racism, white supremacy 24/7/365 sure makes being a terrorist look like a reasonable option.
Sick of this ****.
SICK OF IT.
Just another institution that sucks, and another bunch of bullies.
That’s what I say.
Burn it down.
They lied. 😁
Urea College
To hell with thEm. I have bought crafts from Barea for Christmas gifts for nearly 20 years.
I will be proudly celebrating on the 17th my proud Irish heritage. For someone to denigrate my heritage constitutes fighting words. You ever heard of the Fighting Irish? The only thing that prevents this college from being burned to the ground is our love of Christianity, our Irish devotion to the Blessed Mother and St. Patrick. We are a civil people who fight powers and principalities through praying the Rosary.
Remember St. Patrick on his day, March 17th!
Ah burn ‘em.
One of my rotating tag lines written some time back. Truths tend to reverberate, so evil HAS to counter by repeating it's lies conspicuously to dupe the weak-minded.
I take heart knowing Good always has this advantage if we have faith in it and ourselves.
