No Affirmative Action
No scholarship designated solely on your skin color
No privileges in hiring for government jobs that keep quarters for minorities, but not poor whites
No landing programs designated for them like the one for AA

I went to county schools in Mississippi in the 70s and most of my classmates were from low/moderate income working families. Most of them have done better than their parents, especially the women who have careers in health, education, and administration. Few of them went to college right away but then went to a local community college or college part-time. The white ones didn’t need affirmative action, they got jobs as soon as they were qualified. Several of them have had great lives after divorcing their first husbands who were controlling. The few of my classmates who have had hard lives have battled addiction or other dysfunctions, either their own or their family members. They didn’t face the kind of housing and job discrimination and government-enforced oppression that black Mississippians have faced.

Because that is not at ALL the point

Tell that to the school systems & companies that require "white privilege" training. Sure it's a mixed group - but guess who the "target audience" is?

At this point, white is white is white. This country loves its labels, and it loves to lump people into separate categories.

But feel free to tell me what I've perhaps overlooked in my training sessions.

Tell me you are kidding? White privilege training sessions!

equity training which boiled down to privilege

We were "trained" in recognizing privilege (again and again and again), and as a result, we should change our beliefs and teaching strategies.

I could go into a lecture on this, but I simply don't care enough. But this is what creates division in schools and w/in a county - and it causes people to flee.

At this point, the attacks from all sides are exhausting and damaging to our society.

And you've CLEARLY learned nothing either since you insist on repeating how I've not learned anything.

So you can continue to attack my character - although you know nothing about me and probably nothing about education - or you can LEARN that I have an opinion based on MY experiences.

See how that works, genius?

I love how this gillibrand attacks medical professionals.

Yeah, that’s what causes black infant mortality.

I am sure she really knows her way around labor & delivery.

While she’s there, have her look into the cause of gestational diabetes, cerebral palsy, and fetal alcohol syndrome.
