Rock Island, Ill. –Morris Dees, a lawyer who has led controversial cases against the KKK, neo-Nazis and domestic terrorist groups since the late 1960s, will discuss his legendary battle for justice on Thursday, March 31, at 10:30 a.m. in Centennial Hall (3703 7th Avenue). His lecture, "With Justice for All," will be part of Augustana's second annual White Privilege Summit, a community event designed to spur discussion about race, privilege, inequality, and the fight for social justice. The lecture is free and open to the public.

I guess White Privilege means that I get the privilege of going to work in a hot factory every day so I can pay crack whores to sit around, collect welfare, and have babies.

WTH?

[Emperor Palpatine]

Since you’re shilling for this place, why did they invite that rabble-rousing imbecile Dees?

I don’t think he is shilling, just putting out their phony prospectus about how wonderful acollege they are when they are nothing but marxist scum, it looks like.

That's just what they tell the public.

Behind closed doors the White Privilege Summit is dedicated to savoring all aspects of White privilege.

It's an all-out full-tilt celebration of the joys and pleasures of pallidity and lactescence.

It's 48 hours of glorification of all things White, from mayonnaise and yachting to single malt scotch and rugby, from HBO to NPR, from Fair Isle sweaters and Lacoste shirts to penny loafers and frat parties, from mutual funds to microbreweries.

Be there or be just another part of the gorgeous ethnic mosaic.

Thanks.

I actually attended a Lutheran college many years ago. That was back when Christian schools were expected to have, and teach, Christian values.

Not entirely. It also means you get to have your chances of being hired, promoted, or accepted into college and/or grad school, or getting a government contract lowered--because you are Caucasian--AND you get to be told that the indolent, brood-mare crack-whores are not only your responsibility to support but also entirely your fault (again, because you are Caucasian). Neat privilege, huh?

White Privilege is a cloak that minorities who have more ambition than intellect or initiative like to hide behind. Talk to a minority who has achieved on their own merit and they pretty much laugh off the whole notion. They see it for what it is, and the truth will eventually win out as long as we keep rubbing their noses in it.

What about the Black Skin Privilege of interpreting the Bible literally and not getting made fun for it of by liberals?
