Reed College Claims ‘Make America Great Again’ Is ‘White Supremacy’
Breitbart ^ | 3-11-2019 | Tom Ciccotta

A training seminar at Reed College this year included a graphic that suggests that the phrase “Make America Great Again” is an example of “covert white supremacy.”

According to a report from The College Fix, Reed College in Portland, Oregon, is teaching students that the phrase “Make America Great Again” is an example of “covert white supremacy.”

A graphic provided to student residential assistants on campus made the case that the “Make America Great Again” phrase is “white supremacist.” The graphic also included phrases like “But we’re just one human family,” “I never owned slaves,” and “it is just a joke” as examples of “covert white supremacist” phrases.

An anonymous source told The College Fix that the training was designed to teach student employees how to profile pro-Trump students. The source compared the training program to profiling Muslims who wear a hijab.

“They’re actually training new RAs to identify and stereotype anyone wearing MAGA hats or t-shirts as ‘covert white supremacists,’” the source argued. “This isn’t a whole lot different than saying anyone who wears a hijab is a Muslim terrorist.”

A spokesperson for Reed College said in a comment that the graphic was intentionally provocative and designed to stir a conversation amongst the student trainees.

“It’s provocative, and that was the intention, was to present the RAs with something provocative and spur a conversation about the difference between implicit bias versus explicit bias,” the spokesperson said. “This is a way to provoke discussion about what people think is acceptable or unacceptable. It’s actually about tolerance, not about intolerance.”

How about making Reed College ‘broke again’ and withholding all evil white people’s money? Figure out what percentage that would be in white folks tax money going there would be.

Only a die-hard racist can see “white” in MAGA. And if anyone says “dog-whistle”, I’ll get out the noose.

RE: Reed College Claims ‘Make America Great Again’ Is ‘White Supremacy’

This ‘White Supremacy under every nook and cranny’ thing is getting old.

How many times can the boy cry wolf?

Can’t they think of something else?

To the left, patriotism is evil because they think America is evil. Their hate influences their every thought. It consumes them.

I'll remember that excuse next time someone tells me my words are racist and insulting and dehumanizing. "No worries, bro! I'm just trying to stir a conversation!"

What fool would spend $75,000/year to attend that vile propaganda place posing as a college?

Reed College is just another example on why FedGov should immediately cease and desist all funding for student loans.

It’s like the other expression that if you use ‘Learn to code’ on Twitter, to respond to any journalist being laid off....your Twitter account will be suspended for a while. Imagine telling that to your 12th grade civics teacher back in 1977. It really doesn’t take much for people to freak out anymore.

Trying to provoke violence, they may be successful.

Reed College was founded by and for white people.

Therefore, we should burn it to the ground. Destroy it completely.

Who will be the first to say that flying the American flag is racist and hateful?

It's gonna happen.

Will be ironic if discrimination against conservatives ends up costing colleges their federal grant money that helps pay the salaries of those who discriminate.

Whites are clearly not supreme at anything. That’s why Africa is so nice, while Europe is so terrible. I’m joking; Europe is better because they have the Constitution.
