According to the text you linked to, it seems like it is at least leaving it open to letting the children decide for themselves what to make of it, directed more towards starting a conversation (asking questions) rather than trying to control it. If those attending the school were the ones who actually did the discussing, and this guy only lead the discussion by asking these questions, then I don't see what the problem is.

I'm just skeptical because "anti-racists" like this are rarely ever anything but racist themselves. I've seen this kind of thing before though, people at schools don't just come out and say "okay white kids, you're privileged...feel guilty!". It's about subtly holding their hands and walking them down that path so they wind up there themselves.

But still, I can't be sure, so I'm here for a 2nd opinion.

Why not have your friend ask their kid what they think about it, instead of asking the rest of us who also weren't there?

Also, the discussion hardly seems to be about white privilege, there were only a few questions regarding that. I'm not really sure why you event brought that up in the subject line. Way more of it was based on economic class, which arguably does really matter now that upward mobility is dropping here in the U.S.

The "conversation" is: You honkies are terrible people. Now agree or else.

Shh. We have to blame the massive failure known as "African Culture" on something or other. Surely, it can't be the people. Just forget that other minorities had the same struggles and still manage to be successful. "But, muh slavery." Fuckers are still enslaving each other today in Africa.

Could be worse. This is the most reasonable approach to 'privilege' I've ever seen.

And it's still unreasonable.

I'd love to here Stefan Molyneux do a monologue on this.

All this does is create a black tribalism, in which the black folk always assume victim status because of their lack of privilege, and white folk have to be sorry for everything that happened to them and give them things so that they can stay victims. I fail to see what these folk want, and if and when it ever ends.

Damn it feels to good to be an upper class white male. I could just bathe and wash my self with all this privilege. I can barely contain all this privilege.

Strange I thought I would be taking steps forward more often than back according to this post. But I think I would have taken quite a few steps back and only one or two steps forward. And I am a white male.
