In my simple opinion, the most important thing to remember when you think about the concept of White Privilege is to remember that buying into the whole shebang, up to and including the so-called importance of being a “white ally” by engaging in leftist activism, automatically elevates white people above other races. In other words, us white folk have the special socioeconomic sauce that other’s don’t, which makes our efforts at saving these unfortunate people particularly important.
These poor minorities, devoid of the privilege we’re told white people possess by virtue of being white, urgently need white allies to advance themselves socioeconomically.
That’s a load of horse shit if I’ve ever seen or smelt one. Nobody needs the support of magical upper-middle-class white liberals to do anything in life. In fact, they often get in the way.
Actually, to protect the States from the central government. Many(all?) of the States had clauses in their Constitutions to protect their citizens from their State governments.
Law school was pretty bad. It was a weekly routine for me to get into arguments with certain professors who were trying to make you feel guilty for being on a certain side of an issue or framing an issue where if you chose the opposing viewpoint even with sound logic you were wrong. I had to remind them that I was paying to be there. Grading was supposed to be anonymous. They did a conservative student dirty on grading and it got out - teacher lost their job (I reported them to the bar association too - ended up in disbarment for dishonesty), dean had to step down. They tried to keep it very quiet, but I made sure it wasn’t
3 years after I got out of law school they made a diversity class mandatory and created a diversity and inclusion office. I am glad I got out before that. That is also the point I completely cut my alma mater off from any more donations.
I only donate to my fraternity chapter at my undergraduate alma mater or make sure my donations go directly to the college of engineering. I don’t need to fund useless crap.
Oh it made half the school and faculty hate me because the professor was a huge social justice warrior, but I could care less.
They also knew better to try any retaliation because I was ready and just praying they would try. But, they licked their wounds and left me alone probably because I had means and knew people. Had I been a normal student with nothing I guarantee they would have railroaded me.
Every college has one but I don’t know if anyone knows what it does. And it’s unnecessary offices like that which contribute to the rising costs of college.
The sjw woke agenda is creeping into all departments. They want to decolonize science and math, which means make those fields easier because they don’t think anyone who isn’t a white, heterosexual male (or Asian) can succeed in those fields. Their logic is that since males are more likely to major in something like math, math must be sexist.
TN has a program called TIPS that if you are a minority it guarantees you a spot in a state law school if you complete a 12-week course over the summer regardless of your undergrad GPA or LSAT scores.
We had 12 TIPS participants start law school with me. 1 made it to graduation.
So, 12 spots out of 110 got taken by unqualified candidates.
The law school roughly has 3800-4500 applicants per year.
That’s a silly place to draw the line. Either you believe that observable characteristics define what a person is, or you believe that a person has full discretion to define what he or she is. Trans-species makes no less sense than transgender.
