College that won't inundate my kids with white guilt?

Your ignorance and personal biases are showing here. I've had family members attend Harvard and SEC universities, and what you've written is not true.

Oh, are they teaching white guilt at Alabama now? Wow -- good for them. I didn't know.

If sincerely interested in colleges that are more conservatively oriented, the OP could have phrased his/her question in just that fashion and received many helpful answers (some of which are lost in the rancor of these exchanges). OP instead - and I would ague intentionally - chose to ask the question in a belittling fashion that was intentionally designed to create a charged conversation, from which nothing useful can be drawn.

The question itself was inflammatory the way it was asked.

It's been 150 years since the abolition of slavery, and 50 years since the Civil Rights Act and other landmark legislation. In recent decades, we've had immigrants literally washing up on US shores with just the clothes on their backs and then buckling down and making something of their lives. They don't blame others for their many troubles. Study hard. Lose the attitude. Obey the laws. Patronize the businesses of those who risk all to invest in your community, don't burn them. Stop using "discrimination" as an excuse for everything wrong in your life. Focus on what you can contribute, not what is "owed" to you.

Yea, thanks for telling us what is wrong with AA's? How many do you actually know? Do you have an answer to the OP's question or are you just soapboxing?

You know it is a frightening thing that while more AA's are in college than anytime in this country's history, people still stick to this notion that AA's are just standng there with their hands out talking about White guilt. We ARE educating ourselves and that is why you get the whole Affirmative Action criticism. AA's don't go to college and we get posts like this "you are not doing anything to better yourselves." We go to college and it is "you don't derserve to be there, Affirmative Action got you in." Whites now play the victim role as much as any other minority. Maybe that means progress is bening made.

TBH, when I was in college the focus was not on White guilt, it was on White MALE guilt and most of the people at the rallies critcizing the White men were White women. But y'all go ahead and believe what you want.

Affirmative Action is a double edged sword - it may get more AA to colleges (which I am sure everyone supports) but people will always have doubts. It's like having a footnote on your resume. I can't imagine anything more frustrating if you are a truly high performing AA. But I don't think you can have both ways.

OP, is this really such a major concern for a liberal person such as yourself? Is this really a criterion for you and your kids? Because I have a hard time believing this post is anything other than an attempt to provoke an ugly discussion.

Thanks for your concern about how we high performing AAs are dealing with the negative backlash of affirmative action. Thank you, thank you benevolent white person.

St John's college doesn't read any modern books, only classics, so it may be relatively free of modern issues...

OP, are you really that dense? Don't worry about overwhelming white guilt about "EVERYTHING." I can't think of a SINGLE college outside of historic black college and unis that don't have a large majority of faculty and upper level administrators who are--ahem--white! And guess what, unless your kid is at a UC school, he'll be part of a--ahem--white majority student body. Most of the books and articles he will read at school will be authored by--you got it--white people. Oh, and when he graduates, guess what? Most of the alum are going to be--you guessed it--white!

Puleeze, if you really were as well educated as you claim you are, you would really have a much clearer perspective about race and privilege.

It's been some time since I went to college. I don't know what you're talking about. Could you elaborate? If you know this is happening, why don't you know on which campuses it's happening too?

It actually begins before college. My son is in high school and just came home with a paper on white privilege/white guilt. The paper states that if he and his family drive to the grocery store without being pulled over or "targeted" by police, he should chalk that up to the fact that he is white and should have white guilt over it because a minority would not be as fortunate and must fear this every time they go to the store. There were many more examples on the paper of how he is sooo privileged in everyday little things because he is white, should feel guilty about it, and he should understand how white privilege has given his family everything they have.

I bet you've twisted that paper and it's actually about teaching empathy, not guilt. Does it actually specify feeling guilty? I doubt it. But prove me wrong - quote it.

+1,000 I think that the paper she is referring to was any major newspaper in America reporting about the recent events in Missouri, Cleveland or Staten Island. Cue idiotic comments about the 'Lamestream Media'.

Auburn is looking pretty good for you. No white guilt here...you will fit right in.

Costumes included a hooded and robed Klansman, several white students in blackface, some wearing the shirts of a national Black fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, and one wearing blackface and a noose around his neck. Pictures included posed scenes of lynching and police brutality…
