Examining White Privilege: A Retreat for Undergraduate Students Who Self-Identify as White took place last weekend, November 13-15, and was specifically for white students.

When you think this through, young people are being taught to regret having anything, any talent, any success, any wealth. This is dangerous insanity.

I was taking class to finish off my degree and recently have just stopped.
I was learning nothing though I had a GPA of 3.75. It is all about making money and brainwashing young kids.
Nearly class I was the oldest, older than some Professors and I have never seen a bunch of self absorbed people in my life.

Heh, I read this wrong at first.....fifty years ago, you could read this as being someplace they went to “celebrate” their whiteness.
