Why does anyone of “mixed race” invariably “identify” as minority?

Because of the inherent privileges and advantages in the law of this country, that’s why.

“He added, “Parents put their kids in private schools because they’re racist.””

Interesting comment. Consider the progressive leaders and celebrities who put their children in private school:

Barack and Michelle Obama
Bill and Hillary Clinton
John Kerry
Ted & Joan Kennedy
Robert & Ethel Kennedy
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
Al and Tipper Gore
George Soros
Michael Bloomberg
Matt Damon

I was a employment supervisor, personnel manager and more throughout the 80’s and bringing women and minorities into, what had previously all male heavy industrial plant, was mandatory. And if a black person was minimally qualified and a white person was highly qualified the promotion had to go to the minority - and that’s a fact.

I have to every day wake up and acknowledge that I am so deeply embedded with racist thoughts and notions and actions in my body

Just do us all a favor and kill yourself.

white privilege is something that white people have, meaning they have an advantage in a lot of things and they can get a job more easily

White privilege = high IQ, future time orientation, temperate disposition, co-operative attitude.

I'm proud of and glad that whites have white privilege because it creates first world Western civilization and I don't have to live a San Pedro Sula, a Lagos, or the banks of the Ganges. White privilege is a wonderful thing.

If white privilege means that I went to school everyday and did my homework, was respectful to authority, served my country, went to college on my own dime and worked 3 jobs while doing it, had God fearing children that love this country as much as I do, worked hard at every job I have had since I was 14, gave to charity, never took a dime of unemployment or any other government handout, paid my bills, paid my taxes, and voted in every election since I was 18 then I guess I am proud to suffer from white privilege.

I just haven’t figured out what this privilege got me besides the things I listed above.

*** “Radersma, a former high-school English teacher, hosted a session titled “Stories from the front lines of education: Confessions of a white, high school English teacher.” She said that teaching is a purely political act and that neutral people should “get the f-— out of education.”” ***

Education in the Pooblik Skrewl Collective’s “Hives” has been egregiously politicized for decades.

Commies-N-Classrooms do the bidding of their commie education union masters.

I have watched a PhD in Ecology from Boston U reverse her position and spout the commie/enviro line regarding anthropogenic global warming. This was a close friend who knew all about the fraud, faulty premises, ad nauseam which were then and still are part and parcel of “Global Warming”.

Not having the character to even tell me she was accepting known lies for political expediency, she never once mentioned what was going on, or that she was now attacking me behind my back.

Decades later, another friend told me about her. Her behavior is typical of educators, as a class. In her case, with a degree in science rather than a mere “education” degree, and being a nationally recognized biology teacher, one would assume her commitment to hard data rather than hard ball politics would have been unswerving.

One would have assumed wrongly.

For those who think that Jews are more committed to intellectual honesty due to a few thousand years of rigorous intellectual tradition, this friend kept a kosher home.

Unfortunately, when a decision had to be made, she kept what amounted to a de facto ‘kosher’ commie conscience and supported the commie education union. Such intellectual contradiction is typical of Liberal American Jews, who are the large majority of American Jews.

When those with intellect, education, rank with the ‘education community’, and financial freedom to speak out - refuse to so do, America has a problem festering within its education community.

In a Republic predicated upon liberty, it is essential to examine principles - for some principles are antithetical to liberty.

PS Commie ‘Principals’ & ‘educators’ are antithetical to liberty.

PPS Remove them now or lose both liberty and the Republic.

For every agenda action item they have, there will be unintended consequences. Thus white privilege crap they have been spewing lately, they better be prepared for the possibility of an increase in white supremacist activity.

Not that I advocate this. It just won’t surprise me.

Why I was just thinking how good it was to have white privilege. How poor black people who work long hours (as much as 15 or 20 a week) are taxed to support me who only works 50 - 60 hours a week. I was thinking that in college how the standards were lowered so that I could graduate with a degree in biophysics and applied mathematics while the unfairly treated black students were pushing forward the cutting edge of discovery with challenging courses such as "black studies," "remedial english" and "womens studies." I was also thinking as to how unfair the tax system is to poor people, only giving them a portion of the fruits of my labors, and how as a member of the privileged class I'm allowed to retain some of what I work for.

It really is a good feeling to know that as a heridetary recipient of white privilege, I get all of these benefits

I don’t know of any white recipients, especially United States Presidents, who received a Nobel Peace Prize just for being white.

“White Privilege” is two parents, a mother and father.
Who, whatever their troubles, stay together at least until their children leave the nest.
Who read them to sleep every night with appropriate books (like Wind in the Willows) that help them develop a love of reading.
Who take them library, and get them library cards as soon as they are old enough for it.
Who tell their kids to turn off the TV and go out and play.
Who set chores for them and who teach them a work ethic by letting them work for money.
Who check their school work and progress at school.
Who teach their children to respect them, their elders and themselves.

That is “White Privilege.” Anyone of any race can have it. I had it, and my children are going to have it. And the people who don’t provide it for their offspring can all go to HELL!

**What’s your point, that the article was posted two times already?**


That person should be on this thread, posted after you did.

Public schools teaching ‘white privilege’ to your kids
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3160901/posts

It was posted after you posted this one. BTW, I missed the other threads and thanks for posting. This is part of the Communist Goals of 1963. I have a link to that on my about page.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

Where did the money come from to support this racist trash, probably from the white people who are are being vilified.
Without White people, there would be no Public education.
All these clowns who espouse these ideas should be removed from the system. Idiots??

THAT'S RACISTS!

All you have to do is point out the numbers of “white people” who are in poverty, who are in jail, who are unemployed.

Being born “white” (whatever that is) does not guarantee or grant privilege.

It is simply stereotyping, bigotry, pandering and racism at it's boldest and most contemptible.

There is plenty of hope, if Conservatives just learn to stop letting ideological crack-pots put them on the defensive.

Walter Williams has been trying to wake up White Conservatives--those White Conservatives, whose approach to social issues is that of a dog with his tale between his legs--for a generation. He understands human reality. He understands race relations. He understands freedom & responsibility. As a kindly intentioned realist, his is indeed a voice in a veritable wilderness.

Having said that, let me commend you; not for your pessimism, but for the fact that you are able to make a cogent point. You are not one cowed by ideological crack-pots.

The clue to better relations between different definable groups, races, communities, nations, tribes & classes, is not the hideously absurd pretense that we are all interchangeable--we are not;--or the ridiculous notion that those who succeed exploit or cause others to fail; no, rather its a lesson we should have learned from what actually improved relations between peoples, throughout human history; treating others with respect for who they are; encouraging people to develop the diverse talents they actually have; sharing know how, rather than forced uniformity, etc., etc.

Self-appointed self-important thread watchers are scolds.
