Well yet another story about those tuition dollars hard at work studying about "white guilt." By now you should know that higher education is all about teaching you how bad you are if you are white. Now it's Boise State. They even offer you a "reward" if you attend their white hate talks!

Why is that a problem? Just like children raised upper middle class, it's informative to teach them that they come from privilege, and got a "leg up" simply as an accident of birth. My sons saw that clearly when they went away to college, that they came from privilege they did not earn. Why is it a problem to show that to young adults?

Because there is no such thing as white privilege. It is garbage conjured up by the mentally unstable SJW crowd. The same crowd that runs higher "education" today.

I guess you didn't grow up with white privilege then.
I certainly did. ABSOLUTELY. I'm in my 50's, and when I was in middle school in my small town, the black people lived on the other side of the railroad tracks. Literally, as it is in small southern towns. They all lived there. On the other side of the railroad tracks, in shacks, although they comprised about 20% of the population in that town.
I don't know that infants born this year will experience it - but their parents will have, and much, much more so, their grandparents, which affected their ability to amass wealth and education.
If you're 30, and white in the US, and you don't realize you have experienced the multigenerational benefit of your racial identity, well, then . . . maybe you didn't grow up in the south, which is a huge chunk of the US.
So let me ask you this. I don't know what gender and age you are, but would you be happy to swap your racial identity from birth? I'm guessing you're white.

No, it's disinformative.
