National Post- Saskatchewan professor blogs his way through mandatory anti-racism ‘boot camp’
One of the activities is to fill out a “power and privilege” wheel. These wheels, prepared and distributed by the Government of Canada, ask users to grade their “privileges” on everything from mental health to sexuality to skin colour. The most privileged identity, as identified by the wheel, is a white, able-bodied, heterosexual “colonizer/settler.”
Is there a choice for blow it out your ass?
HEY WHITE PEOPLE !!!!
.
JUST HOW MUCH LONGER ARE YOU GOING TO PUT UP WITH NON-WHITES AND LEFTISTS WORKING TOGETHER, DAY IN AND DAY OUT, TO DESTROY YOUR RACE OF PEOPLE IN EVERY EURO COUNTRY ON EARTH?
Asking for a friend
First they came for the Christians … but you didn’t like them either, so you remained silent
Then they came for Gun nuts … but you don’t own a firearm, so good riddance you said
Then they came for the white folk … but you no longer “identify” as white, so you don’t care
All in the name of … tolerance
Well, yes. That’s kind of how they work. The people who work harder and do better get rewarded. In a sane system.
I guess we’re gonna have to try ‘demeritocracy’ … and let it run its course. But, of course everything will be utterly destroyed and there will be NO coming back
” Participants told that ‘meritocracy’ leads to ‘inequities’…
Well, yes. That’s kind of how they work. The people who work harder and do better get rewarded. In a sane system.”
Yeah, that was the line that really jumped out at me, too. A society that believes meritocracy is bad is a society that is dying.
I worked at a Uni for almost 30 years (IT dept) and finally retired last summer just as the DEI stuff was getting pushed harder. I was getting emails asking when I would complete the ‘optional’ online training course from the Diversity office.
I was able to ignore it for my last 3-4 months but it would become mandatory a few months after I left.
I don’t miss it 🙂
A white, able-bodied, heterosexual “colonizer/settler.”?
Well I must admit I am a white, able-bodied, heterosexual man.
But “colonizer/settler”? Nope, I was born here, which makes me native.
So then, not privileged.
My thought exactly. My people are long-timers around here.
I recently saw a high school English writing assignment for some students in Saskatoon. This was garbage. The two of them showed me a little of it where they were being asked to first, identify themselves, what groups they belong to, minority groups, etc. Second part of it was to identify their relationship with natives, how they treat them as compared to their other non-native friends, and so on.
I asked them both, “Why don’t the parents push back on this? Isn’t anyone letting them know this is happening?”
The one said: “They know. Nothing ever happens.”
We need to completely fire everyone in the school system from the top down to the janitors.
