How many Politards plan on attending this year?

If enough of us go we can get a group discount of 5 to 10%.

We just had one of these out at the University. Led by natives to explain to white people why they've got it so good.

What is the White Privilege Conference?


2. It is not a conference designed to attack, degrade or beat up on white folks.

I attended WPC this past year in Memphis. I can say hands down the most remarkable event I witnessed was the student collaboration and testimonies in breakout sessions. In the sessions I attended some of the most powerful statements were made by the students and what they had been experiencing. Several students expressed how WPC healed them and gave them hope for better conditions and a better world without oppression.

Examples of Privilege

quote:

Being able to…

quote:

•assume that most of the people you or your children study in history classes and textbooks will be of the same race, gender, or sexual orientation as you are
quote:

•assume that your failures will not be attributed to your race, or your gender
quote:

•assume that if you work hard and follow the rules, you will get what you deserve
quote:

•success without other people being surprised; and without being held to a higher standard
quote:

•go out in public without fear of being harassed or constantly worried about physical safety
quote:

•not have to think about your race, or your gender, or your sexual orientation, or disabilities, on a daily basis...


Did anyone get the memo on this???

Thought this was touching.
quote:

“Whites need to acknowledge and work through the negative historical implications of ‘Whiteness’ and create for ourselves a transformed identity as White people committed to equity and social change...To teach my White students and my own children...that there are different ways of being White, and that they have a choice as White people to become champions of justice and social healing.” ~Gary Howard

Hmm, when it's your own race inflicting the physical violence does it still count?

But, if it should just happen to shake out that way, oh well. So be it.

So if their goal is to "dismantle white privilege" then based on their definition of said privilege people should be surprised when I succeed, I should fear harassment and for my safety in public, and I should have to think about my race/gender/sexual orientation on a daily basis. Lovely.
