Army officials are investigating a diversity training briefing at Fort Gordon, Ga., in which a slide about "white privilege" was inappropriately shown to soldiers, according to an Army spokeswoman.

The Equal Opportunity briefing took place Thursday for about 400 soldiers of the 67th Signal Battalion, Capt. Lindsay Roman, an Army spokeswoman, said Friday. The slide titled "The Luxury of Obliviousness" has bullet-point items about "white privilege."

One item reads, "Race privilege gives whites little reason to pay a lot of attention to African Americans or to how white privilege affects them. 'To be white in America means not having to think about it.' "

An image of the slide appeared later Thursday on a Facebook page and generated a torrent of negative comments about political correctness run amok.

      So they want to blame their problems on "White Privilege"?
      Have they considered that their own "Black Legacy" could be a big part of the current, self induced situation? Watts riots, LA riots, Ferguson riots, looting, burning their own neighborhoods, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan, etc. etc. etc., to name a few.

  2. Nonsense! Absolute nonsense and BS! I grew up watching "All in the Family". My first formal lecture on race relations, came from a BLACK/NEGRO/AFRICAN-AMERICAN Drill Sergeant when I was going through basic training, waaaaay back when in 1976.
    I will say it again, almost ALL of the problems facing Blacks in the FUSA are of their own creation. That also means they alone can fix them. It is a question of the content of their charecter and moral upbringing. Every single one of us have the exact same number of hours in a day. I have ZERO responsiblity for how any one else spends their time or the choice they make in with what to do with the time that is given to them. What drives me to full fury road rage, is how they want to blame me (a traditional Christian, hetrosexual, white male) for the consequences of they own stupidity, for doing things that I would strongly advise them NOT to do.

    PSA; If you don't want to live in poverty then,
    1) Finish High School.
    2) Get a job, any job, and do NOT quit it, till you have a better job lined up
    (and if you are still working at entry level pay, then consider that YOU are doing
    some thing wrong)
    3) Do NOT make babies outside of marriage. Marry the woman before you sleep with
    her.
    4) Do NOT do drugs. You can not drown your problems and sorrows in alcohol or any
    other drug. They know how to swimm.

    I'd like to know what alternative universe these PC idiots are living in. I'm 60 and for all of my life it has been nothing but race, race relations and the problems of it all.

  3. I see no problems at all with my so called white privilege. I have been working since I was 10 and have managed to get by, not in luxury, not even close. I have always been able to provide food, a roof, transportation etc. for me and my family. I have little to show for it but I did it myself in spite of long odds due to way too many orthopedic procedures. No one owes me anything. IT is race and all about race because they have no other issue they can drag up or attack us with. FOOK them.
