The University of Maryland at College Park announced Friday a new diversity support group to create a “safe space” for white students to discuss their feelings about “interactions with racial and ethnic minorities.”

The support group, called “White Awake,” will help white students who may “sometimes feel uncomfortable and confused before, during, or after interactions with racial and ethnic minorities.”



quote:

“I am ashamed over the execution of white awake nor do I fully understand its clause. ‘How they can fit into a diverse world’? Why do they need to attend therapy sessions on how to be a decent human being in society?” a UMD student wrote on Twitter. “Why do they need to have these sessions to learn how to coexist?”

If safe spaces and minority ethnocentrism are ok, why is not ok for whites to do the same thing?

This group sounds like an echo chamber for progs who want to pretend relating to black people is hard for white people

This is what America is all about, different people from varying geographic and cultural backgrounds coming together to get mad at white people. It's beautiful.

No, it's just like minded people getting together to hate on people that are diff.

They have created groups similar to the ones they hate. Just History repeating over and over.

I liked when we just didn't make such a big deal about it. People don't like other people, nothing will ever change that.

This keeps getting said, and yet every day you read about company X forcing diversity training or company Y's video seminar about white privilege being leaked.

Where exactly is the real world that is supposed to melt these snowflakes?

Is this a safe space?

I’m still pissed MLK Day is given more importance than the holiday celebrating our nation’s saviors GW & AL a few weeks later. At least give us a paid national holiday for Nick Saban’s Birthday!
