Examining White Privilege Retreat:
Examining White PrivilegeThe ALANA Student Center (ASC) and a dedicated committee of campus colleagues are excited to announce Examining White Privilege: A Retreat for Undergraduate Students Who Self-Identify as White. It’s a new retreat specifically for white students to engage in building a stronger and inclusive campus community.
Program Description:
Students will have the opportunity to:
conceptualize and articulate whiteness from a personal and systematic lens;
recognize and understand white privilege from an individual experience
as well as the impact of white privilege on the UVM community and beyond;
build a community of dialogue and support in taking action against racism.
We will explore questions like:
What does it mean to be white? How does whiteness impact you?
What action steps can you take individually to interrupt racism?
How can we make UVM a more inclusive community?
BARF.

Vision Statement
The ALANA Student Center (ASC) Vision is to create a diverse and rich community of empowered, engaged, and enthusiastic ALANA and Bi/Multiracial students at UVM who:
Are proud people of color who actively seek and create opportunities for self-development and personal understanding

So basically it is various liberal minorities trying to lay a guilt trip on students for having the audacity of being born white.

I was speaking tongue-in-cheek.
But if pressed, supporters of privilege-checking will admit that privilege is not a bad thing. (In their terminology, privilege includes things like not being discriminated against--things that are not bad, but are desired for everyone. In general "privilege" means "not being oppressed".)
Then again, when not pressed, they tend to inconsistently slip back into speaking as if privilege is a bad thing.

Not to mention that the most extreme privilege is held by those who can pass for Black.
Back in the day, they would have been moving heaven and Earth to pass for White, to acquire THAT privilege. Now there is so infinitely much more (and seen quite often in various supposedly Black organizations) privilege and fawning glorification by pretending to be Black even though they are 7/8th White.Near the Peoples' Republic of Davis, south of the State of Jefferson (Suspended between Left and Right)
