Army ‘Diversity Training’ Badgers Soldiers About ‘White Privilege’

-By Warner Todd Huston

Hey, you evil white solders, don’t you know that you are bad people? Well, that was the message that the US Army had with its “diversity training” session, anyway. Apparently Obama is trying to gut our military in every way possible, not just with the budget.

Images of one of the slides in this absurd “class” has emerged:

So, now even the Army is falling to this false “white privilege” agenda.

Army officials are investigating a diversity training briefing at Fort Gordon, Ga., in which a slide about “white privilege” was inappropriately shown to soldiers, according to an Army spokeswoman

The Equal Opportunity briefing took place Thursday for about 400 soldiers of the 67th Signal Battalion, Capt. Lindsay Roman, an Army spokeswoman, said Friday. The slide titled “The Luxury of Obliviousness” has bullet-point items about “white privilege.”

One item reads, “Race privilege gives whites little reason to pay a lot of attention to African Americans or to how white privilege affects them. ‘To be white in America means not having to think about it.’ ”

This is an absolute outrage. This kind of garbage is seriously undermining our armed forces.

Now couple this report with a new interview with Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno who has just come out to warn America that Obama has devolved our military readiness to historic lows.

In the interview Odierno said that right now we are “only generating enough readiness for immediate consumption.” He went on to say the further cuts Obama wants will seriously harm us.

“It’s incumbent on all of us to understand that further reductions simply will put us into a place we simply cannot go,” he said.

So, one hand Obama is turning our military into politically correct weaklings and at the same time is slashing our armed forces to dangerously low numbers.

This president’s goal is to harm this country. It is indisputable.
