QuoteUniversity sponsors campaign to undermine 'white privilege'
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.

Too funny. Have students at UM-D ever seen a real black person, other than road games in a Michigan State uniform?
I say we enjoy our white privileges while they last.

God knows I am. In fact, I think I'm going to go celebrate my whiteness by going out for a drive and not getting pulled over.
I wear tight clothing. High heel shoes. It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute. No no.
I'm glad white people are being told to feel guilty. :P
I predict this will go over well.
I'm pretty sure any UMD student would be insulted if you called them "Golden Gophers". Their team name is Bulldogs.
I can't feel guilty about White privilege - I'm too busy feeling guilty about male privilege, class privilege, and first world privilege. :hmm:
Plus, not sure "guilt" is the right word. Could be "gratitude" or "thankfulness". :D
With great DNA comes great responsibility.
While we're at it, can we force UM-D staff to sit through lessons on "white man's burden?" :frusty:

Do you feel half guilty? :hmm:
The sun is setting on whitey anyway.
Also, class/wealth privilege is far more powerful than white privilege. Lord knows I'd rather be a wealthy non-white than a poor white.

ONE DROP
Note: That only applies to Negroes and not to American Indians.
I'm Hispanic. I need not feel guilty even though it was my people who did practically all of the terrible stuff.
