[quote=Anonymous][quote]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? [/quote]

That's what they call it now?  Back in the '70's they called it "race relations."  Probably hasn't changed.  Started by telling us how even the word "black" denotes evil or something.  "Black magic."  "Black denotes fear."  "Black heart."    Al sorts of metaphors that had nothing to do with race.  It was a stupid class and I think we played 'Lifeboat."  It did not help at all--in fact, it brought out resentments.

Educating people is one thing.  Creating confrontations is not helpful.

People need to treat all others with respect and as individuals.  We were actually making strides towards that, but it has turned inside out.  The woman that Gillibrand was addressing didn't need a lecture--she needed help  Gillibrand does not get that.

Gillibrand is an opportunist.  Is she sincere?  Who knows.[/quote]
