You Still Have White Privilege Even if you Survived a Nazi Concentration Camp
This extraordinary claim, that it doesnt matter what hardships youve had to face, you still have white privilege, was directed to husband and wife survivors of Nazi tyranny by Robin DiAngelo, Professor of Multicultural Education at Westfield State University. With a scholarship in Social Justice Education and Whiteness Studies, DiAngelo teaches courses in Multicultural Teaching, Inter-group Dialogue Facilitation, and Cultural Diversity & Social Justice.
It is to progressive thinkers and holders of powerful educational credentials like Professor DiAngelo that Jerry Todd has directed his response today.

Todays progressive has such a limited mindset, its a wonder they can find their way to the bathroom in the morning. Being severely corpus callosum challenged meaning they cannot process and integrate left and right brain signals (except for designing video games) to arrive at cogent and reasonable conclusions. An ancient text referred to this as ever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of truth
Diversity in their limited perception means merely simple human divisions of race, gender, ethnicity and economic status with todays strange nod to sexual preference. True diversity goes infinitely deeper into the endless range of gifts, talents and visions among all humanity and expressed in each unique individual.
The role of education is not to segregate people into mind-numbing pre-conceived boxes to meet some totalitarian goal. Seeking ones own gifts and talents also mitigates the more base drives for physical satisfaction whatever that may be. Searching, discovering and application are the moral counterpoint to self-demeaning urges the mob covets for us.
Education to educe to draw out is the most important role for the Educator. If the Educator has no vision of...

Yup, I’ve got white privilege.
Methinks the fact that I had two parents (coincidentally, not of the same gender), who were almost poor, but managed to do quite well with only a high school education, just might have had something to do with it.
Earth to liberals...it’s culture, not race. And FAMILY has a whole lot to do with successful cultures.
Inter-group Dialogue Facilitation
Is that what they had down In Ferguson?
why wont these racist schmucks leave well enough ALONE!!
The progressives aim on diversity seems to be to destroy it and turn the world gray.
Some 20 years I was a graduate student at the University of Arizona. The undergraduate student senate was developing a resolution of anti-discrimination (today it would be diversity). They listed all of the groups that had been discriminated against and they wanted it stopped. As you can image this list covered all races but white, all social classes except anyone in the middle class or above, and just about every conceivable sexual orientation except heterosexual. The senate also including one group group in their list of victims of discrimination: the academically disinclined. I don’t know if that group was part of the final resolution that passed the student senate. But that group was included in the initial group of victims of discrimination.
The problem is there is nothing wrong with a Multiracial Society, but a Multiracial society MUST have a Singular Strong culture to hold it all together, that Culture is the “Classical American culture”.
Multiculturalism has done nothing but to degrade and denigrate the “classical American Culture”...
If you want to see the benefits of a strong Singular Culture, look at how a society behaves in a disaster.
Case in point: Katrina vs. the Japanese Tsunami of 2011
People on the ground in Katrina were looting and tearing themselves apart, people in japan helped each other as strangers helped out other strangers and shop keepers set out supplies and people only took what they needed.
Granted Japan is a mono-cultural + mono-racial society, but the way they behaved during the Tsunami is how Americans used to react to disasters in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s before cultural Marxism took held and started to erode the Classical American culture.
More to the point, “Academia” has been given a bad name by its progressive minions.
Another example in my book is the Roman Republic/ Empire which in my opinion was the first very ethnic diverse empire, they were very brutal for that is how things were back then and conquered a lot of people and foreign land, however that brought a common culture, language, the idea of citizenship and is half the reason they lasted for around 1000 years.
Is there actually such a thing as “Whiteness Studies”? Seems all those university types could come up with a better word than “whiteness”. How do you measure it?
The changes that you observe are a direct result of a major shift in our immigration policies since 1965. That result was not seen at the time as the inevitable consequence of the changed policy by most Americans, because of the corruption in academia, which had already taken place; but here we are. This is not intended, by me, as a 'put-down,' of any group, other than the Left-wing ideologues who promoted the change in direction.
Their effort, from the start, was intended as an attack on the "Classical American culture." We now reap the whirl wind that they intended.

Whiteness Studies??? WTF??????
The only problem is that 99% of all Progressives give the other 1% a bad name.
Like most liberal ideas the word diversity represents a warped idea and once people sour on the idea they sour on the word.
Like most liberal ideas they will soon change the word but keep the idea. And when that new word sours they will change it again.
They will do anything except recognize the truth: It’s the idea that’s bad, not the words.
Bigots are those who impose on others racial modesty, like islam imposes the Burka. Communists and islamists have a lot in common in terms of pimping.
For them diversity is a diverse and divided group of separate parts. It is antifamily diversity.
Man and woman united are greater than each sum’s separated, but the gay agenda is just that, even more bigoted as segregation.
Liberal diversity: A bunch of people who look different but think the same.
Yep,equally self hating. It seems like globalist capitalists are imposing racial modesty and orientation sensitivities so as to avoid being attacked by communists for not displaying their own wealth modesty. There is a blackmail dialectic in this,
It's true -- and it shows without any equivocation exactly what is meant by "white privilege", and what idealogy dreamed it up.
Diversity is welcome at most universities, with the exception of one variety: conservatism.
