Wisconsin Education Officials Want Students to Wear ‘White Privilege’ Wristbands
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction runs several programs that heavily emphasize racial issues in public schools, EAGnews.org has been finding.
Some feel that one of those programs – an Americorps operation called VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) – may go a bit overboard by encouraging white students to wear a white wristband "as a reminder about your (white) privilege.”
Geared towards high school students, the program “seeks to build capacity in schools and districts serving low-income families to develop an effective, sustainable, research-based program of family-school-community partnerships,” according to its Facebook page.
That sounds reasonable enough.

Isn’t it awesome being white? ;)
Duh. One drop of whiteness makes you white.

Or maybe they could come at this from the other direction and give “VICTIM” wristbands to the non-white students.
Yup — that’ll do wonders for racial harmony. Although of course the left in general is not interested in racial harmony, but a permanent aggrieved victim class.
That's what I told my son - - white, male, well off, healthy, house out in the country, well-supplied and armed to the teeth.... what's not to feel smug about? The whining, greedy, permanent victim class can drop dead.
I love your idea.
Suicide cult religious paraphernalia.
And that is why the best response is not upset or violence, but sticky sarcasm and contempt.
During the HUAC investigations of communist infiltration into the US government, field investigators learned a very useful technique to determine if someone was a bona fide communist fanatic, a technique which applies to all fanatics.
Tell them jokes.
A true fanatic has a very limited and rather brittle universe of ideas, their definition of reality. Anything that does not fit into this worldview is ignored as a non sequitur. Reality for a communist fanatic is limited to The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, and likely a few other hard core communist writers.
Humor and laughter are to a great extent a protective mechanism for irrational or surreal information, but they are an alternative set of tools for non fanatics.
Bottom line: True fanatics cannot produce genuine laughter. Reality is either doctrinal or disregarded.
Just as importantly, they cannot mentally deal with others laughing at them. Sarcasm and contempt truly messes with their heads.
They can deal with rage, anger or violence, because these are things described in their holy books. But they cannot deal with those who make fun of their beliefs.

“according to the Leakeys, everyone is African...”
Yeah, African monkeys. My ancestors came from a different stock.
My thoughts also...like the germans made the jews wear special armbands.....If the school does that all white students should have a bonfire and toss those evil things into it....
Get over yourself. You made a comment on my comment. You don’t want any further comments from me then do not make any comments about my comments on any other thread. If I decide to further my comment to your comment THEN I WILL.
Hey moron, you posted to me from a thread I wasn't even active on - after you'd already replied to my final post to you on the thread where we were talking.
That wasn't a ping, it was stalking, plain and simple.
I already dropped this yesterday. I suggest you do as well.
