Davidson College forces athletes to watch ‘only whites are racist’ video
College Fix ^ | 3/15/24 | Will Caldwell

Posted on 03/17/2024 4:39:04 AM PDT by CFW

Davidson College alumni are calling for change after student athletes recently were required to watch the video “I’m Not Racist … Am I?” which labels all white people as racists.

The Davidsonians for Freedom of Thought and Discourse, an alumni-run free speech organization, exposed and denounced the video after learning the North Carolina institution forced student athletes to watch it this semester.

Notably, “in one clip of the film that we uncovered, is the unequivocal repetition that all white people are racist, and people of color cannot be racist,” the organization told The College Fix in a statement via email last week.

“The students with whom we have spoken about this film found it offensive, divisive, and personally insulting,” the organization stated.

Moreover, the athletic department opted to show the film on a Sunday afternoon instead of normal school hours, according to the organization. Students “were disappointed that the Athletic Department would compel them to participate in this event for over three hours on a Sunday afternoon,” the group told The Fix.

Can you imagine the outrage if a university required students to watch a video of the harms caused by African-Americans? Or a video stating that black people were the cause of all our nation's woes?

nothing new, it was being done under Clinton’s watch. Likely happening before that.

We would never hear the end of it. Being prejudiced against whites and saying only whites can be racist is in itself racist. But lefties are too naïve and ignorant to see that.

Fine school but very liberal.

Tony Snow, former Freeper and W. Bush Press Secretary, was an alumnus.

Somebody had better take a hard look at those who run that college. Maybe there should be a national list of suspected racist colleges.

1973, Travis AFB.

Forced to go to "race relations" training during the time of the race riots.

My civilian (Italian American) boss got in trouble for asking why we had to learn all about their music, gibberish and customs and they didn't have to learn about anyone else's.

The worst, most violent racists I have ever met were black at Travis.

But also some of the best, nicest were black.

“… “The students with whom we have spoken about this film found it offensive, divisive, and personally insulting,” the organization stated.”

The students received a valuable education on the Lesftists that intend to rule our country. They received fair warning that if they go an along to get along, they will suffer. They were empowered to look critically at our nation and world to think more wisely.

The college should apologize, compensate the students for their time, and seek other content that inspires people live peacefully together in the civil society.

If a student willing sat down and watched that or at the very least didn’t get up and walk out within the first couple of minutes has no sympathy from me. No one forces me to do something like that even under threat.

Life is a series of choices and if you chose to sit and watch that drivel instead of stand up and think for yourself then you deserve all the crap the left can hang on you.

Does Davidson still have a PCUSA affiliation? (Presbyterian Church of the United States of America)

“The college should apologize, compensate the students for their time, and seek other content that inspires people live peacefully together in the civil society.”

The college should fire anyone responsible for the anti white racism.

The apology should be issued to both parents and students—and inform them that those responsible have been fired.

If that means the President of the University needs to be gone, so be it.

Whites must have zero tolerance for anti-white racism.

Anti-white racism must have consequences when those in power abuse that power.

The narrative they've been pushing (for 30 years now) is that, essentially, capitalism = racism, and it's pretty entrenched now. I think our best bet is to point out that people of color can still be bigots, and that therefore bigotry + power = racism. Now we need to start harping hard on the evils of bigotry, and calling out bigotry amongst liberals, and make it as onerous a word as racism.

Because this started with them convincing society that racism was the worst thing in the world, worse than murder, worse than child molesting, worse than ordering the wrong wine, just terrible. Once they had that in place, equating it with capitalism was the next step.

So if we cannot disentangle this (very artificial) construct, a way to work within it is to make BIGOTRY a very bad word too, and make sure it's clear who can be (and usually are) bigots.

That PCUSA arm of Presbyterians is super liberal! I was reading up on PCUSA v. PCA just yesterday. Huge difference.

This morning we’re going to try a PCA church in town. Never been to a Presbyterian Church before but PCA church is conservative.

All of their theology doesn’t align with ours (we’re Baptist), but the Baptist Churches here are terrible.
