University Sponsors Radical Campaign to Undermine 'White Privilege'
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 06/20/2012 2:16:13 PM PDT by oliverdarcy

The University of Minnesota - Duluth (UMD) is now sponsoring an ad-campaign designed to achieve "racial justice" by raising awareness of "white privilege."

The project disseminates its message, that "society was setup for us [whites]" and as such is "unfair," through an aggressive campaign of online videos, billboards, and lectures. The ads feature a number of Caucasians confessing their guilt for the supposed "privilege" that comes along with their fair features.

The self-titled Un-Fair Campaign, is sponsored and supported by the University of Minnesota - Duluth, along with several liberal organizations including the NAACP, YWCA, and The League of Woman Voters.

"You give me better jobs, better pay, better treatment, and a better chance - all because of the color of my skin," reads one poster that features a close shot of a Caucasian male.

The Un-Fair campaign also held a series of lectures and events on campus last semester. One included a presentation by Tim Wise, author of Dear White America. In his book, Wise confesses a "longstanding fantasy" where he turns to a man with a "God Bless the USA" button and asks him, "why can't you just get over it?"

Fine - let's also start a discussion about affirmative action, the racial preference in scholarship money, the wealth transfer from productive whites to unproducdive blacks, the constant playing of the "race card", the lower standards of behavior blacks are held to, etc, etc.

” Is this satire? Surely this is satire. “

Sadly, no... This is LibThink at its best -

I’ve said often on these threads that professional satirists are looking for other work, because there’s no way for their imaginations to come up with anything as outrageous as the daily headlines....

I used to think some areas of the country were safe from the ever-destructive Left.

However, talentless Communist “professors” looking for the incredibly soft, non-demanding, sheltered, hideously over-reimbursed academic life, will spread their oozing, chancerous pustulence anywhere they can find even a junior college, stupid enough to hire their lazy, non-productive asses.

>>Is this satire? Surely this is satire.<<

Based on what I read on that blog, it appears this is like the Bake Sales with different prices for different groups.

Extreme satire that will probably go over most libtards’ heads.

The Soviets did this in the 1930’s. It degrades the targets and eliminates their credibility.

No son - you get better jobs because you actually passed the classes you took in school, learned to read and write, don't dress like a hood, didn't have a rap sheet when I checked your background, didn't knock-up 3 girls by the time you were 15 and learned to speak at least semi-proper English.

Amazingly these people who come up with this nonsense will actually be awarded degrees for supposedly accomoplishing something.

Perhaps if these Libtards were to experience the Utopia of life under rule of Black Culture - like found in any random African nation - they would actually get a clue as to how good they have it.

If you had a magic time-machine that could take you to any point in time, in human history - would you rather live in a civilized “White” culture, or a “Black” culture?

I cannot think of a single time in human history, where living in a “Black” culture would be equal to that of a “White” culture.

"Planet Of The Apes" doesn't seem so farfetched anymore.

If a society set-up by whites for whites is great for whites, then why is a society set-up by blacks for blacks (all of sub-Saharan Africa) such a hellhole for blacks?

” Libtards were to experience the Utopia of life under rule of Black Culture “

Ahh, but they’re not talking about *their* personal privelege - it’s everybody else that must be brought down...

The fantasy of all Useful Idiots is that, when things shake out, they will naturally be at the top of the heap... OOPS...

“’White Privilege’”

I guess they mean they want to be more like white people: Not lazy, stupid, greedy, or sloths.
