#22 As long as there's moonbats, thar's gold in that thar guilt industry. They wanna feel like shit about themselves. They don't know any other way. It's like S&M without the whips. |

#21 "If you don't believe you're a racist then you can walk out now!" I'd have been right behind you, AA. I don't do well in these |

#17 I wonder if anti-Semitism is covered in these classes. anti-Semitism = an irrational hatred of Arabs felt by some white people---in particular white people of Zionist-aggressor ancestry. |

#16 Just like the Black Congressional Caucus and the LSM whoring out the race card the other day when they lied about the N-word - this type of sh*t simply makes it much, much, more harder when there is *real* racism in play. And I believe that there is real, live, racism out there - and some of it is fairly ugly. The next time there is an instance of *real* racism - the victims are either going to get laughed off, ignored, or not taken seriously because crap like this (and the Black Congressional Caucus) makes racism complaints a joke. |

#15 a few observations: 1) These people have entirely too much time on their hands. 2) see no.1 3) Society has become so pathetically soft that a century or so ago idiots like these would've suffered at the hands of natural selection. Man I hate pussified liberals. 4) the mere notion that only whites can be racist is in of itself racist. |

#9 I had two RR seminars within 6 months because I was born (spit, spit) WHITE!!! They use to start them with the statement, "If you don't believe you're a racist then you can walk out now!" Believing that no one would do it. I did at the second one and got my ass in a sling for it. |

#8 So... being Irish and successful during anti-catholic and anti-Irish times, Cherokee during repression and poor German ancestors.... Does that mean I can collect money from the government for my ancestors being repressed while loathing myself and my European heritage? I'm so confused.... |

#7 Besoeker - look for it to become mandatory in order to get your mandatory health insurnace (unless your one of the privileged races of course...). And just think..... these people - the 'students' in this workshop - are going to be determining your healthcare. |

#6 Am I supposed to feel guilty about being white? My forebearers didn't even come to this country until around the 1900s on my mother's side. On my father's side they came from Ireland around the time of the potato famine. Neither side had an easy time of it. Coal miners on one side and laborers on the other side. There were a fair number of Irish who were indentured servants and had to buy their way out of servitude. My wife's parents were Jewish. They came here after WWII. They were in the German concentration camps. She lost her grandparents and some of her aunts and uncles there. Her relatives were slaves in these camps. So screw this article. People can feel guilty if they like but it is a waste of time for me. |

#5 From the same thinking that 'acting white' is now the pejorative term used to refer to others, within certain self identifying racial groups, who are successful academically and why Asian is now the 'new white'. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" - Matthew 7:3 |

#4 I also heard one student say she rejected the term "gender-neutral" as sexist, and instead preferred "gender-fluid." Isn't that the fluid that determines your gender? |

#3 When the Navy started this nonsense in the '70's, it quickly got the nickname "Archie Bunker School" due to its actual effect of reinforcing negative opinions of other racial groups. |

#2 Wow they are 30 years behind the times. In the early 80s I had to attend "Race relations" when I was in the service. The course would be better titled: "Your white and you should be ashamed of yourself" Later it was renamed "Equal Opportunity" to focus on the sins of people who had the mistake of being born both white and male. It seems that because I lacked a vagina and dark skin, my life had been way to easy. Total waste of time IMHO. |
