Wisconsin: White People to Wear Guilt Bracelets
 

(CNSNews.com) - "The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) wants its white VISTA volunteers who work with low-income, racially diverse public schools to examine the ?privilege? their Caucasian race confers on them.

DPI devotes an entire Web page to ?Power and Privilege,? including links to racial justice workshops and online tests where VISTA volunteers can ?learn about your personal bias.?

One ?diversity? document linked to DPI?s Web site suggests that white people ?wear a white wristband as a reminder about your privilege, and as a personal commitment to explain why you wear the wristband.?

The document -- written by a diversity resource center in New Jersey -- also suggests that white people ask themselves questions, such as: ?How do I ignore privilege? What am I doing today to undo my privilege? How do I fool myself into thinking I am powerless??

Other suggestions for white people include:

-- Set aside sections of the day to critically examine how privilege is working.

-- Put a note on your mirror or computer screen as a reminder to think about privilege.

-- Make a daily list of the ways privilege played out, and steps taken or not taken to address privilege.

-- Find a person of color who is willing to hold you accountable for addressing privilege."

is this real?

April fools joke too early?

would this.. not be insanely racist?

What is CNSNews.com in the first place?
This is like a retarded version of the onion

Other suggestions for white people include:
-- Spend part of the day in thankful thought that you know how to use a deodorant.
-- Give thanks to your parent for not being called Chlamydia.
-- Being thankful for knowing how to wear a belt.
-- Grateful for knowing that saying "you know what I mean" every second word is only for mentally retarded people.
-- being thankful that you don't have to kill someone because they "disrespkted" you.

I'm thankful I am not part of that group.

Good. You fucking HONKEYS should acknowledge your disgusting past of crimes, genocide, oppression and all the privileges that behavior has granted you in the present.

:1orglaugh

Seems to me the only people who are racists are the people running the government. Everyone doesn't seem to give a shit.

Oh yeah because people who are alive right now did all of that and it's so fucking easy being white according to a bunch of whiny untrue bullshit that completely ignores the fact that poor whites are the hahahahahaha of the modern day here in America

Sure

Hahahaha
Ds

I'll make you a deal. We will acknowledge this behavior if we can make things how they would be had slavery never existed. Deal?

I'm getting the ships ready now. We'll see how you like living in Africa.

There are people thinking those things are good. Damn sad.
