(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained documents from the United States Department of the Army revealing that in April 2015, 400 soldiers in the 67th Signal Battalion at Fort Gordon, Georgia, were subjected to a “white privilege” briefing, including a PowerPoint presentation instructing the attendees: “Our society attaches privilege to being white and male and heterosexual …”
The slideshow also informed the soldiers: “Race privilege gives whites little reason to pay a lot of attention to African Americans.” It alleged that there are unspecified “powerful forces everywhere” keeping different kinds of people from being valued, accepted, and appreciated, but “we act as if it doesn’t exist.” This alleged privilege creates a “yawning divide” in income, wealth, and dignity. The material described a mythical African woman who isn’t aware that she’s black until she comes to America, encounters “white racism” and discovers the U.S. is “organized according to race.”
The Department of the Army documents were obtained in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking:
Any and all materials used in an Equal Opportunity briefing provided on April 2, 2015, to the 67th Signal Battalion at Fort Gordon, Georgia, which included a discussion of “white privilege,” including but not limited to, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, audio/video tapes, course syllabi, and any recordings of the presentation itself.

Wasting their time with more fluff and social experiments.
President Trump should PURGE the military on day one. Go Stalin on them.
I have 3 words for “white privelege”. NBA
I am convinced that Obama’s forcing of women in combat, gays openly serving and now this has the intention of making our troops so girly that real men will not join up, and we have a severely weakened military.
HIs mission is almost completely accomplished, what with the placing of billions to Iran to drive terror and develop more nuclear weapons.. Now he can go run the Caliphate and drive the infidels out of the Islamic world with impunity
Libs should be confined to the entertainment industry, bartending, perhaps women’s clothing, ice cream parlors, basically anything they cannot be taken seriously.
Get them the ‘H’ away from our military.
This white privilege idea is just factually false. Affirmative action has conferred black and Hispanic privilege for decades and the minorities are still whining, and demanding.
Do not buy it thinking Americans. Whites, more than others have been privy to Western Civilization which literally has excelled in every area of endeavor because of its Greek Roman Judeo/Chhritian roots. It is the tradtion of the Constitution and of English Common Law upon which most of our legal systems were formed.
These whiners need to spend their time studying that tradition and joining it.
“It alleged that there are unspecified “powerful forces everywhere. ” It alleged that there are unspecified “powerful forces everywhere” keeping different kinds of people from being valued, accepted, and appreciated, but “we act as if it doesn’t exist.” ”
The came close but no cigar. It’s kingdoms and principalities.
You know what, I am 73 years old and my family has fought in every war since the 1600’s to defend this country. I want to puke on our White House @sshole and every one around him. It is time to clean out the DC sewer and put some real American
patriots in power.
Bttt
I am with you.
Thanks to all those family members, including you I assume, for your contributions to the rest of America.
Patriotism is the true test of American leadership. I have no trouble supporting even a liberal Democrat like Joe Lieberman as I believe in his heart he was a patriot. People like Zell Miller also come to mind.
The definition of patriotism is placing your country before yourself.
Oh, white privilege. That’s that thing where I must scrupulously follow immigration laws all across the earth or face swift and sure extradition and/or arrest.
And brown or black people, wherever they may be, can wake up any given day and freely decide what nation they will choose to move to, and simply travel there.
Yes, white privilege.
WHAT THEY MEAN:
"Our society has always treated normal people like they were normal people but that has to STOP!"
women and gays in combat = distracting our forces sexually - DEBASE EVERYTHING!!! No longer concerned about destroying the enemy effectively, our troops are thinking “is my sex partner safe?” or “is this guy next to me going to frag me or report me for speaking against them or denying them?”
White privilege, AKA life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness, etc.
I’m glad I retired. Before I got out we had to sit through stupid crap like this regarding queers serving openly. I asked several non-PC questions and was finally just told to stop asking.
If I were still in and had to sit through this I’d have got up to walk out. If they asked me why I would tell them I had more important things to do like maybe take a dump.
