University announces White Awake safe space for white students
Grace Gottschling Investigative Reporter @Grace_Gotcha Today at 8:52 AM EDT
The new group is now one of four in the universitys Diversity Issues program series.
The announcement has been met with wide criticism from students on social media.
The University of Maryland at College Park announced Friday a new diversity support group to create a safe space for white students to discuss their feelings about interactions with racial and ethnic minorities.
The support group, called White Awake, will help white students who may sometimes feel uncomfortable and confused before, during, or after interactions with racial and ethnic minorities.
This group offers a safe space for White students to explore their experiences, questions, reactions, and feelings, the description explains. Members will support and share feedback with each other as they learn more about themselves and how they can fit into a diverse world.
The description asks students if they want to improve [their] ability to relate to and connect with people different from [themselves] or if they want to become a better ally. The new group is now one of four in the universitys Diversity Issues program series.
The group is being led by Noah Collins, who works for the UMD Counseling Center, and will be held once a week. Collins specializes in group therapy and is interested especially in the areas of racial and cultural awareness, according to his faculty bio.
The safe space has been met with harsh criticism from students on social media.
I am ashamed over the execution of white awake nor do I fully understand its clause. How they can fit into a diverse world?

I suspect it is a place where it is safe to utter the approved opinions...but if you were to say something unacceptable, you’d probably be in just as much trouble as if you said it elsewhere.
“Its also safe because in the history of school shootings, not one has been in a Library, because there are so few targets.”
Columbine...
I beg to differ.
The "safe spaces" for racial/ethnic minorities are advertised as being places where they can recouperate and relax after the harrowing experience of being in the presence of White people. They are lauded as "places of healing," where the wounds of racial discrimination can be dressed and tended to.
THESE "safe spaces," on the other hand...
Well, you can guess, can't you?
Regards,
This is not a safe space for white students.
I didn’t think that would happen, even if the announcement says it. There is no f*cking way a university will ever do anything beneficial to a white. They want whitey’s money, and then they will gladly sacrifice whitey because the hate whitey.
The key is “...and how they can fit into a diverse world...”. In other words, whitey has to go into a place with only whiteys and flagellate each other, mulling over the myriad ways that whitey is evil and racist and a bastard and responsible for all the evils in the world.
Do not be fooled. They hate whitey, but want his money, and then they will happily eliminate whitey.
Distortion of language. “safe space” doesn’t mean that. It means “don’t come back until you are thoroughly demoralized and submissive.”

The safe space for whites sounds more like a re-education center.

I was thinking the same thing.
A resident commissar is probably assigned to supervise thought and discussion in these designated safe spaces - to quarantine divergent thought until it has been browbeaten into submission.
Once stronger control is achieved, these “safe spaces” can be moved closer to the ovens, to simplify logistics, and more efficiently realize the bright new society of progress.
They’re internalizing their oppression. They have been brainwashed into feeling guilty for existing. They’ve internalized liberal hate for them, and now seek counseling to cope with their discrimination by liberals while thinking that such adoption of collective guilt makes them moral.
It is holy martyr syndrome that explains why some battered women stay with the abuser ... but on a massive scale because it is a systematic oppression, a political movement.
Someone needs to print those up and hand them out to people going in.
We should be financially supporting tech schools.
Dear SJW’s,
I don’t want to be your Slave.
How will these students be able to make it in the real world?
