WorldNetDaily: University defends teaching students all whites 'racist'

The University of Delaware has a program whereby its Resident Assistants (RA's) are to have one on one meetings with the students to "teach" them that all white people are racists. The RA's then "rate" the student and keep records of those "ratings" Not surprisingly the students who agree are rated "good" while those who disagree are rated "worst".

From the article:
According to university materials, RAs are instructed to ask students during one-on-one sessions questions such as: "When did you discover your sexual identity?" "When were you first made aware of your race?" and "Who taught you a lesson in regard to some sort of diversity awarness? What was the lesson?"

"Students who express discomfort with this type of questioning often meet with disapproval from their RAs, who write reports on these one-on-one sessions and deliver these reports to their superiors. One student identified in a write-up as an RA's 'worst' one-on-one session was a young woman who stated that she was tired of having 'diversity shoved down her throat,'" FIRE said.

This particular student responded to the question, "When did you discover your sexual identity?" with the terse: "That is none of your damn business," FIRE said.

Requirements for students include: "Students will recognize that systemic oppression exists in our society," "Students will recognize the benefits of dismantling systems of oppression," and "Students will be able to utilize their knowledge of sustainability to change their daily habits and consumer mentality," FIRE said.

The school posting noted that such best-worst ratings are used only "by supervisors to ask Resident Assistants to reflect on their facilitation skills and never to describe students or the outcome of a conversation."

But Harris then wondered why all of the "best" ratings were given to students who appeared to adopt the political perspective presented to them by RAs, and the "worst" always given to those students who objected to the questions.

This is typical of a liberal environment.

Thank God it is not the norm.

That reeks of communism. Not just liberalism, but pure Marxism.

More brainwashing. this is pretty much what they preach in school, the media, etc. I'm a firm believer that everyone is racist to one extent or another.

Typical assumption for the blacks Delaware.
That area of this country is 80% black anyway.

The black population is far worse than the whites.

Whites have resentment for giving them government aid.

"Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand, maybe I'll be there to share the land that they'll be givin away, when we all live together"

Give me a break. Everyone has their stereotypes and to assume there will ever be a time where everyone is "colorblind" or living in some BS idealistic utopian society is to ignore mankind and history.

I think white people are held to an unattainable higher standard when it comes to race relations. Or maybe that's just my color talking, right?

Well here's the thing.

The promise of the civil rights movement and the reason that so many WHITE people supported it was that the LAW should treat people equally irrespective of their color.

Now granted we live in a HUMAN world and humans, being the flawed beings they are, will probably ALWAYS have a residue of racism. i.e. I don't think we will ever totally eliminate racism.

BUT just because we can't TOTALLY ELIMINATE racism doesn't mean that we shouldn't be TRYING to do so.

UNFORTUNATELY today's civil rights types are NOT trying to eliminate racism. INSTEAD they are trying to REINSTATE STATE-SPONSORED racism under the guise of "diversity training" programs such as the one at the University of Delaware.

THIS is hypocritical!!! Martin Luther King looked forward to a day when a man was judged by character not the color of his skin. Today's "civil rights leaders" look for a day when a man IS judged by the color of his skin and on that basis ALONE gov't will redress EVERY WRONG ever committed in the whole of human history.

This is also UNWORKABLE! How badly were Bill Cosby's or Oprah Winfrey's kids "oppressed" compared to some kid in the inner city? How about the comparable levels of "oppression" for those who descended from slaves versus those who came to America AFTER slavery had been abolished?

Because WE KNOW FOR A FACT that all black people weren't oppressed the same. So WHO is more "oppressed" and how much MORE "oppressed" were they?

If we can't even quantify THAT then HOW can we decide how much "affirmative action" EACH gets??? It is unworkable!!!

Now we should teach history and with that comes some awfully racist moments. If they want to point out that Bull Connor was an unabashed racist then fine. It is the truth. But the idea that ALL whites are racists ignores REALITY and the heroism of those white people who supported the civil rights movement (which BTW was a majority of white people in the US in the early 1960's).

If the goal is to get to some society that at least in the eyes of the law is somewhat colorblind, THIS sure as hell isn't the way to do it!!!

I work for a company thats home office is based in Delaware.
Diversity HA! They are ate up with diversity.
Try and get them to get something done.
ie
To buy my ex out of the house, it took them six months to figure out how to do a quatro out of my 401k for her. delaying my divorce, and locking up my 401k funds which I trade stocks with and costing me thousands for their delay.
btw
you can't call anyone in the home office with out speaking to a racially challenged person.

I'm color blind till a black pulls the race trump card, and jumps ahead of more qualified personnel.
Reverse discrimination, yeah right.
Try that in court. Nope not going to work.
