‘White privilege’ is the left’s latest agit-prop talking point - an abjectly meaningless phrase that’s supposed to pass for serious debate and summarily silence all dissenting voices (similar to “Koch Brothers,” “Faux News,” “Tea Baggers” and “Haliburton”). More recently, they vigorously pushed the war on women fairy tale, and had their red hats handed to them in November. So it’s time to re-set. We of the alabaster flesh are, I presume, supposed to kneel and confess our sin - the sin of ‘melanin deficiency.” And then sit in the corner until we die. It’s Mao’s ‘struggle sessions’ regurgitated with a shiny new bow. I was born, therefore I am irreparably flawed.
Exactly!
The Weekly Standard had a great article recently exploring this dimension:
The Spiritual Shape of Political Ideas (Weekly Standard 12/1/14)
An excerpt:
>>>>>>
[Former schoolteacher Kim Radersma:]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, she testified to a teachers conference on white privilege this spring. I have to choose every day to do antiracist work and think in an antiracist way.

These people are deeply mentally ill. The problem in, they're setting the agenda in schools and colleges, and in the Dem party.
