Have you seen this information from the Delware program Creepy Big Brother Education at University of Delaware coyoteblog.com A choice example of the inanity of the program. It was supposed to teach students the following definition of racism - “A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. ‘The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination….’” --- Nice comment from "Ko" to that blog post - ""Somehow none of the residence halls chose 'the role of capitalism and individual entrepreneurship in creating wealth.'" It's almost as though no one in the University system has ever had a real job." Another good one from "markm" B. Each student will recognize that systematic oppression exists in our society. >>> Like mandatory brainwashing programs imposed by the University? Check. C.
