Alright you evil, rotten, racist, white oppressors, it’s time once again for the “White Privilege Conference,” this year to be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 13 – 16. Come on out you white teachers so we can get your rotten minds right about how racist you are and so that you can go back to your students and let them know how racist they are.
I’ll bet you think I am being sarcastic with the name of that conference, right? Nope. It really IS called the “White Privilege Conference,” and this year is its 12th year!
So, what is it? Why it’s a conference for America’s teachers to explore the full length and breadth of multiculturalism. We are all the same, you see, Indians, Hispanics, Blacks, all at harmony and all equal… well, unless you are a whitey, of course. If you are a whitey, well you have some splanin’ to do! You are the one black mark on this wonderful multicultural world, doncha know? And it’s about time you admitted your malevolence, dang it!
Yes, it’s a “toxic cultural environment” we monstrous whites have created for our children… never mind that this is the greatest nation on earth, and all.
But the WPC has the cure. A weekend of indoctrination on white’s crimes all for the ultimate edification of our children back home in our schools. You see, the kids are all right…. as long as they ain’t white.
The WPC even has an uplifting video for us to watch to let us know just what we’ll find at the conference. Amusingly, it is the last woman interviewed that finally lets us know what the conference’s real message is.
An unidentified, but well-fed and healthy looking “teacher” tells us that we are living in a dangerous hellhole here in America. It’s a, “toxic cultural environment, an environment that constantly sacrifices our health and our sense of well-being for the sake of corporate profit,” she says.
Ah, the commies are coming out to play again. Never mind that they are having their conference at a luxurious hotel. Never mind that they all got there in nice cars, wonderful airplanes, spent their government supplied money (well they ARE all government employees, right?) on rich dinners and are likely going to be attending swank parties with much drinike-poos available. Yes, all that oppressive “corporate profit” goin’ on out there must be so hard for them to withstand on their little vacation trip.
This really is unbelievable. Communism has been proven a murderous failure. Communism has killed more people than ANY human ideology. Yet here are our taxpayer subsidized teachers attending a conference meant to indoctrinate our kids in the evils of white capitalism!
That’s right, folks, WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS with the federal and state dollars that go to subsidize unions and teachers for their “educational” trips.
Great, huh?
**UPDATE**
From Minnesota…
Always Room in the Budget for White Guilt
In Lakeville, for example, the school board recently announced wrenching cuts of almost $7 million. Ninety-four teachers will lose their jobs, arts programs will suffer and a school will be closed.
Unless you’ve got an ax to grind with white folks. Then the money spigots open.
The Lakeville schools are sending a delegation of teachers to the 12th annual “White Privilege Conference” at the Bloomington Sheraton from April 13-16. The district is shelling out $160 a pop — plus $125 a day for teacher subs — for this “white guilt” festival….
