Army Diversity Training Features Slide About ‘White Privilege’

Army soldiers at Fort Gordon, GA, were inappropriately shown a slide about “white privilege” during a diversity training briefing, according to an Army spokeswoman.

Army spokeswoman Capt. Lindsay Roman said that Army officials are investigating the Equal Opportunity (EO) briefing, USA Today reports.

The slide, which contains bullet points about “white privilege,” is titled “The Luxury of Obliviousness.”

“Race privilege gives whites little reason to pay a lot of attention to African Americans or to how white privilege affects them. ‘To be white in America means not having to think about it,’” states one item.

Who is actually the privileged group?

Certainly not whites, especially middle-aged, male, Christian whites.

When people can apply for and receive jobs, scholarships and mortgages for which they are not qualified, I'd say they would be the privileged ones, wouldn't you?

If a man is forced to give large sums of money that he has worked hard for to people who have done nothing to earn or deserve it, who is the privileged group?

I would say this 'white privilege' thing is more like a 'liberal fraud' thing, wouldn't you?
