‘White Privilege Checklist' appears in Minnesota dorm
Campus Reform ^ | April 12, 2017 | Amber Athey

A display in a University of Minnesota residence hall provides an 11-point “checklist” to help students identify their “white privilege.”

The “White Privilege Checklist,” found hanging in Mark G. Yudof Hall and photographed by a current student, features 11 statements that ostensibly apply exclusively to white people.

All this crap sounds like fodder for lawsuits for creating a hostile environment.

Yep. Hostile and intimating environment. May the briefs be filed!

Do these fools realize what they are admitting? Black people cause more problems and that’s why they are held to a different standard. The liquor store in my nearly all white city has no bars on the windows or glass booth protecting the cashiers. Go to a majority black city and there are bars on the window and bullet proof glass protecting the booze and the cashier.

“””Statement 10 addresses a common problem with affirmative action policies, noting that white privilege entails the ability to take a job or enroll in an affirmative action institution “without having my co-workers or peers assume I got it because of my race.”’””

Except if you’re not white then you can assume that all white people got their jobs BECAUSE they’re white.

I guarantee they don’t see the irony of this garbage.

Item #2 on the checklist: “I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed”

Hah! - I invite anyone of the Caucasian persuasion to try that in Lawndale, Englewood, South Shore, or any of about a dozen other interesting Chicago neighborhoods (but be sure to notify next of kin first).

The number of blacks who play professional is probably the best example of “Black Privilege.”

Are they trying to strip white people of their self-esteem?

I feel a macro-aggression ... I need a puppy... and free beer.

“I can arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time,” the list begins ...

This would usually be the case for the majority ethnic group.

Minorities can make a quick trip to the ghetto of their choice.

You make a good point. White privilege, from what I can tell, is all about envying how whites see and treat one another. But if you are white, people of color DO think you got everything you have because you are white. They DO think everything you do reflects upon your race. And you DO encounter people of color who have positions of (usually temporary) power over you (TSA, anyone?) who DO want to harass or objectify you. This is purely about how white people see other white people, and them wanting white people to see POC as they see whites, but not expecting POC to see whites as they see each other.

Historically White Nations are the kindest, most generous, most inclusive, most caring, and most welcoming to other creeds of any Nations on Earth. <-— (disprove that)

Yet, the slanders never end.

It’s reverse racism, and they don’t realize they’re doing it. It’s like they’re asking for the last 100 years of suffrage to be reversed but against whites instead. I just don’t get it.

I like this one:”I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed,” the second item states.”

I find it amusing that guards in stores here in Maryland are usually black. They seem to ignore me or say ‘Hi’ Seem busy watching others.

Are they supposed to suspect me?

Whites can enroll in an affirmative action institution?

Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial responsibility,” the next bullet point says”

Shop on Amazon like I do.

Maybe the problem is that my checks don't bounce and my CC is not over its limit.

“Statement 5 goes on to imply that children of color are not able to learn about their race in the education system, saying white schoolchildren experience privilege through exposure to “curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.”

I don’t even know what this means.
