US college tells white students to check their privilege; triggers white students

part of the five a-day one presumes?

Like extra large banana milkshake

What the hell?

These people are insane.

I say we take off and nuke the entire campus from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

May God have mercy on their souls.

Seriously can somebody tell me what the **** 'cisgender' is supposed to mean...?

From their local community college - in sociology or gender studies

A North Carolina university student group posted a 'privilege board' on campus, which calls on white, male, able-bodied, Christian, or cisgender people to 'check their privilege.'













'A residential hall is the last place to push an agenda,' Laurel Littler, an evil conservative, said. 'I can't help that I'm Caucasian.'

Littler told Fox News last year that she was 'cyber-bullied' because of her decision to protest, and the abuse she was receiving online was 'deserved' because of her status as a 'privileged Caucasian.'

The campaign first originated at the University of San Francisco, where professors disseminated fliers that urged the public to 'look at all the privileges I haven't checked.'

Ja'Nina Walker, a USF psychology professor who has tirelessly fought for equality and justice, was one of the intiators of the campaign. He told the San Francisco Foghorn that the goal is to get students to 'recognize the structural inequalities around them.'

'We just hope that people use this as an opportunity to think critically about the world around them and challenge themselves to really consider the implications of structural inequalities and how they, as an individual, can help mitigate the negative effects of social inequalities,' said Walker.

'In order to effectively advocate for others, one needs to have an awareness of self and the biases and positions within the society in which we live,' said assistant professor Sonja Poole.

'Privilege is often unrecognized by those who have the most. It is important to identify and confront issues that affect marginalized people so that we can reduce social and economic injustice and increase societal well-being.'

The professors have began receiving requests to use the material on other campuses.

Organization in colleges and universities, traditionally a hotbed of social activism, have sought to provide training, workshops, and seminars to inform others on their privilege.

This past spring, almost two thousand students attended the 'White Privilege Conference' in Philadelphia, which was designed to provide support for those who might be 'burned out from working to dismantle racism and white supremacy'. Some titles of the seminars had the spelling of woman changed to 'womyn' - so 'man' was taken out of the word.

However, the conference was embroiled in controversy, after the audience clapped rather than using the accepted 'jazz-hand applause', triggering audience members with a nervous disposition.

Miami University covered more than half the cost, and charged students a flat fee of only $60, potentially $240 less than the total expense of the conference.

It also seems to have triggered people on this forum.

They should add some more:
'If you're homeless but have shoes check your privilege'
'If you have terminal cancer but aren't dead check your privilege'
