The program itself may be worthwhile, but the video is ridiculous. It actually IS offensive to see these white boys walking through the rubble - Kim Klacik they are not.

Some think it relays a message that blacks can’t get up the ladder without white help.

Haven’t seen the video yet, why would it be offensive for white people to try to help people?

They’re leftists. They think a Black entrepreneur is a bad role model and part of “the problem.”

Reading between the lines, it seems the controversy stemmed from the fact the video encouraged success in business. It further highlighted others in the community who had become successful due to hard work and proposed a partnership with those successful people.

Apparently, working hard to be successful is a white supremacy trait and should be avoided at all costs. Success should be awarded based upon skin color. Or something along those lines.

Maybe I missed something.

Wow, so I was rolling my eyes pretty hard at the story until I saw your comment, which got me curious about the video itself. It’s just clip after clip of white college guys in full suits walking through the literal rubble of collapsed row homes in Baltimore talking about teaching black people “financial literacy” and such.

It’s a pretty ridiculous video and really difficult to hear at times since they didn’t use any mics. F-

Are college kids really this dumb?

Any traditionally white institution, founded by whites, can never be sufficiently “woke” to systemic racism.
Only the members of BLM can fix them.

Here are our demands:
1. No descendant of the African slave trade (Irish honkies are EXCLUDED) will need to comnplete an admission application or test.
2. No descendant of the African slave trade will be required to register for or attend any classes.
3. An on-campus residency will be provided, free of charges. As will meals.
4. Music students and student athletes will get a per diem (to be determined by the student) paid daily in cash.
5. All descendants of the African slave trade are either athletes or music students.
6. Students will determine their graduation date.
7. Students will assign their Pass/Fail grades and determine their degree level, regardless of the handbook definitions.

Here is a link to the wokest, most whitest-privileged group on campus. It's good to have so many woke whiteys to look after the poor incapable black folk.

At what point does all this black crap become racist?

"The video promotes the ideology of white saviorsim [sic] . . ."

If it's black entrepreneurs, how is that "white saviorism"?

You can’t show Black people how to advance economically, you can only show them why they haven’t advanced economically (White Man’s fault, etc).

Apparently, this activist group objected to the idea that black people could be rescued by white people:

“The video promotes the ideology of white saviorsim [sic], white supremacy and most of all a lack of addressing structural racism!” the page said.

::::::::::::::

I am guessing some “saviorsim” is needed to help these dolts learn English. Apparently, their instruction in rhetoric and composition ended after second grade.

As for Loyola, it’s heartbreaking to see what it has become. I know people
who graduated from there when it was a fine school.

Blacktivist: “This video is all about forcing black people off the plantation and not being dependent on the government for their provenance and happiness. There isn’t anything that is more racist and white supremacist than that!”
