An organization that published a list of 29 “Pitfalls of Working With White People” that was circulated at a diversity conference earlier this year received hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants from the U.S. Department of Justice, the Daily Caller has learned.
Beyond Diversity Resource Center, based in New Jersey, is listed as a partner organization for the White Privilege Conference which was held in Madison, Wisc. in March.
One of the “pitfalls” listed on the Center’s pamphlet, published by the website Progressives Today, is that white people “ask stupid questions”.
The diversity group, which claims that it “works to build a society that honors individuals because of their cultural differences”, wrote on the pamphlet that whites “benefit financially off the backs of people of color.”
White people “are arrogant”, they “say something stupid” and “get too friendly too fast,” the diversity center’s pamphlet claims.
The organization has published several books on diversity and racism including “The Anti-Racist Cookbook” and “The Great White Elephant”. They also lead educational seminars and workshops throughout the country.
And an increasing share of their funding has come from the federal government – mainly the U.S. Department of Justice.
In fiscal year 2011, the center received a $250,000 grant from the Office on Violence Against Women, which falls under the DOJ.
In Aug. 2012, they received a $249,479 grant from the Office for Victims of Crimes to conduct “National field-generated training, technical assistance, and demonstration noncompetitive continuation projects.”
According to the DOJ’s 2012 program plan, Beyond Diversity Resource Center partnered with the school of social work at Rutgers University on a “demonstration project” that involved providers of victim services from across the country.
“The center will implement organizational development strategies with the participating organizations, offer relevant diversity training, and develop organizational protocols in an effort to enhance LGBTQ victim services,” according to the DOJ’s planning document.
And in June 2013, Robin Parker, the group’s executive director, co-hosted an online discussion on “Incorporating LGBTQ Victims’ Needs into Mainstream Victim Services” for the Office for Victims of Crime, another sub-unit of the DOJ.
It is unclear if any of the funding from those programs overlapped. Parker did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment. Likewise, the Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment.
The Center’s grants have increased substantially over the past several years.
They received nearly $325,000 in government grants between July 2012 and June 2013, according to their 2012 Form 990. In the year ended June 2012, the Center received just over $147,000. In the prior two years, the center received no government grants while receiving smaller grants in the years before that.
The White Privilege Conference, which partnered with the Beyond Diversity group, has been exposed recently for some of the statements made by conference attendees.
“The longer you are in the tea party, the more racist you become,” said one speaker at the conference, whose statements were captured by conservatives outlets who infiltrated the event.
Another conference speaker, a former English teacher, told a seminar that “being a white person who does anti-racist work is like being an alcoholic.” (RELATED: White Privilege Conference Labels Little Kids Racists)
One white student attending the conference thanked conference attendees for helping him identify what he perceived as his own racism. “I feel like I’m going to go home and tell my parents that I’m a racist and I’m not proud of that, but I’m proud that I can say that,” he said.
The attendance costs and some of the planning expenses for the event were paid for out of taxpayer dollars, several watchdog sites have reported. The MacIver Institute, based in Wisconsin, found that at least $20,000 had been spent by the state and the University of Wisconsin education system to help fund the conference.
It’s that pesky redneck God of ours (hey did you know Jesus was a redneck). Gets friendly too fast... yup. Acts like everybody’s life matters...yup. Insists that there is but one standard of right and wrong...yup.
The devil can’t stand it. It’s too unfair.
And look at a lot of these other guffaws. Looks like a list of implied faults of racemongers.
Our tax dollars going to fund an openly racist organization.
At what point will we be able to obtain a list which accounts for taxpayer funding for leftist organizations?
I’m so glad that Obama is unifying this country.
He’s encouraging division.
When will conservatives realize that he won’t ever make nice, so why keep on trying to make nice with him.

Find a highway and step in front of a tractor trailer doing 80 MPH. You’ll feel better about yourself and your race whore friends will absolve you of all your sins.
Most of the things that seem to irritate them most are things white liberals do. Happily, the only one I’m “guilty” of is number 25, not to say that I am “oppressed” too but to say that very few people of any color had anything handed to them, and anyone who thinks they did is a self-pitying fool.
I’ll bet that black scientist who created white devils as an experiment regrets his conjuring. < /sarc >
Chang white people to liberals and they nailed it.
I must say, I agree with number 16
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)
"Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yakob) is, according to the Nation of Islam (NOI), a black scientist who lived "6,600 years ago" and was responsible for creating the white race to be a "race of devils". He did this through a form of selective breeding referred to as "grafting", while living on the island of Patmos."
i was thinking the same thing. If the list were called “Pitfalls of Working With White Liberal People” the list would be OK with me.
But if a white person said that they DO see color, and people are NOT all the same, everybody goes into hysterics and the white has to apologize, grovel, and/or go to sensitivity training. Whites just can’t win no matter what they do.
However, the youth of white America is currently showing a predilection for a life devoted to eating, drinking, drugging, copulation, bowel movements, snoring and attending Rock Concerts or "The Games." This produces a person incapable of meaningful resistance to any part of the ongoing conquest.

A lot of the problem of working with white people is most of them don’t want to turn our own country into a third world shiite hole like the ones your ancestors come from, still inhabit, and unfortunately still run - and most likely you would run the same way if given a chance.
