Students Forced to Address Their White Privilege
A health sciences program offered at Ohio State University requires those who sign up for the course to take part in an array of discussions and assignments about gender and race, including one that asks students to address their privileges if they are White, heterosexual or able-bodied.
One such required class assignment, which was outlined in the FOIA-obtained documents related to the course, is titled “Unpack the Invisible Knapsack” and asks students to complete a series of “activities” about their “privilege.”
The assignment stems from a 1989 essay titled “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack,” which was written by feminist scholar and anti-racist activist Peggy McIntosh. Included in this knapsack — “Whiteness protected me from many kinds of hostility, distress, and violence, which I was being subtly trained to visit, in turn, upon people of color.”
How much did they pay for this abuse?

To correct the record, Peggy McIntosh is, in fact, a RACIST activist.
For an anti-racist she sounds pretty racist to me, but what do I know.
Nothing. They borrowed the money, and the debt will be written off.
With all this privilege I have being white, male, and able-bodied, how did I end up where I am? You would think winning life’s lottery would come with a huge payoff . . .
As bad as that cr*p is this woke stuff has made its way into our medical school. UCLA Medical School is just one of many which requires a semester long indoctrination course which they call “Structural Racism and Health Equity”.
I shudder to think how bad our health care system might become in the very near future if there’s not a major reversal of our ongoing cultural decline soon.
White privilege doesn’t afford me protection from being asked damfool questions posed by lamebrained grievance grifters.

In order to cure racism, we need more racism.
Would slavery have been solved by having more white people enslaved?
I check my mailbox at least once a week for white heterosexual privilege check. It never comes.
In other words, you will pay for it.
Racist – Anti Racist: Kinda like regardless and irregardless, they both mean the same thing.
I know it is considered lazy to link to an article and then say, “Hey read this.” But this article refers to how DEI can possibly hinder some of the wonderful medical progress that benefits us all.
To summarize; Asian-Americans, Latino-Americans, and white-Americans advanced gene therapy to save a black-American’s life. There wasn’t a black guy on his medical team but the guy lived because of meritocracy.

Kind of like flammable and inflammable.
Or by having more blacks own slaves?
We don’t receive them. We write them . . .
Need to eliminate both state and federal funding to any organization that pushes racism.
The great thing about “whiteness” is that white people can transcend their own culture and heritage with ideologically approved rituals and become genuinely transcendent beings. Nonwhites and all victim classes don’t get to do that. They must instead focus on their victimhood and accept that until all white people transcend their “whiteness” victims will continue to be oppressed even if they don’t know it. They will never be equally transcendent beings but that’s OK because the transcendent whites will look after them. The goal of achieving this ultimate state of affairs in which transcendent white people run everything is how we defeat white supremacy and its concomitant lies about equality, content of character versus skin color and all that deceptive racist mythology.
Is that how the American Society of Magical Honkeys got started?
