First of all this is a pile of Hog Wash!
When I was in grade school - and had gotten into the " woe is me " syndrome; my dear ole Grandmother set me straight - she said you are not going to have a Pity Party - so get over it because no one wants to hear about your grips... That set me on the correct pathway for the rest of my life! i.e. Don't complain needlessly because no one really wants to hear it!
Hearing all this " woe is me " race crap is just that the - Whinny way a 3 year old uses to get their way! Get over it folks - grow up and start taking responsibility for yourselves!
BTW: the Government does not lov you and really is just in it for the money and power - which is what you are giving them with this type race stuff... HUH!

“self-identify as white” ?
--------------------------------------------------------
They’re helping the next generation of young white Americans affix that proverbial scarlet letter for the rest of their lives.
Here’s how it works: students at Northwestern University who “self-identify as white” can participate in a six-week course that guides them through “terminology used in conversations of race, the history and meaning of whiteness, white guilt and the difference between intellectualizing and feeling racism.”
{ WHY? This is like knowing hell is bad; but now you must go into a detailed study so that you can dig up dirt, hate, and become totally lost in the quagmire of disillusionment and confusion!
But solving nothing! }
(Oh, and it’s voluntary—except once you begin it you can’t leave until you’ve finished all six weeks.)
Ok, so let me ask you this:
What problems are solved by raising entire generations of Americans to hate the color of their skin?
What problems are solved by rewriting history and teaching millions of young people to believe that white people are the only perpetrators of ill the world has ever seen?
What problems are solved by dictating how and who may have conversations about race?
What problems are solved by furthering the fallacy that skin color is the only determining factor in issues of injustice?
Instead, conditioning people to hate who they are because others who look like them did terrible things only deepens the disgusting (and ever growing) racial divide in this country.
Conditioning society to believe racism only goes one way just gives a free pass to people like the despicable group of black teens who surrounded a Marine at a McDonald’s and beat him up after he didn’t react to their racial harassment.
Conditioning society to believe that success in life is the result of “white privilege” does nothing to fix the brokenness in the African American family, where so many children grow up fatherless and impoverished.
“Whiteness” does not inherently cause oppression. Spreading this fallacy that whiteness alone has causes and continues to cause racism is no less logically flawed than insisting that spoons make you fat, or gas pedals get you speeding tickets.
We’re completely ignoring the human element. We’re flawed. We ALL make the very same mistakes—from hate to slavery to superiority complexes and everything in between.
And no amount of white-hating, white-shaming propaganda is going to fix that.
So, want to help heal the racial divide?
Start by ditching the ridiculously one-sided racial reeducation workshops.
And stop apologizing for your race.
{ I have never had or use my race as a focal point in relationships with other humans - now this has not stopped other it a central point in some confrontations - but I did not play along! period!!! }
