‘Our society attaches privilege to being white and male and heterosexual.’
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained documents from the United States Department of the Army revealing that in April 2015, 400 soldiers in the 67th Signal Battalion at Fort Gordon, Georgia, were subjected to a “white privilege” briefing, including a PowerPoint presentation instructing the attendees: “Our society attaches privilege to being white and male and heterosexual …”
The slideshow also informed the soldiers: “Race privilege gives whites little reason to pay a lot of attention to African Americans.” It alleged that there are unspecified “powerful forces everywhere” keeping different kinds of people from being valued, accepted, and appreciated, but “we act as if it doesn’t exist.” This alleged privilege creates a “yawning divide” in income, wealth, and dignity. The material described a mythical African woman who isn’t aware that she’s black until she comes to America, encounters “white racism” and discovers the U.S. is “organized according to race.”

Update: U.S. Soldiers Taught That America Privileges White Male Heterosexuals (Washington Free Beacon)
WNU Editor: I know a lot of White people who do not feel privileged at all .... not even close. As to what is my take on this document .... this focus on white heterosexual males and the belief that this group is privileged sounds racist to me.

Cultural marxism hits the US military, adios.
These things are a lot easier to get if you mentally throw in a "ceteris paribus". Like, it's better to be white than not, assuming in both cases you make the same amount of money, etc.
At any rate, it doesn't really seem like something the military should be concerning itself with, but I don't think it's factually wrong.
White privilege stopped being relevant in the early 90's. Your not going to be denied a bank loan if you have your stuff together because your a minority, a company with a HR department is not going to overpass a black guy because a white guy also applied. Most of what is called white privilege really has to do with if your poor or not in most major cities. Today if you have a clean background check and good credit the only thing holding most people back is themselves.
Is it like this in Canada aswell. WNU in Russia do yall get beat over the head with anything like this
No I do not Country. It is just that from my own experience I cannot relate to the issue of race that preoccupies places like America.
