I’ll never understand why white liberals are so ashamed of their skin color.
Via Campus Reform:
Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream of a world where people are judged by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin is still just that at Mount Holyoke College—a dream.
The all-women’s college in Massachusetts celebrated Martin Luther King Jr., Day on Monday with a two-hour interactive event on “white privilege” and what “being white means post Ferguson.”
According to an email sent out to the student body from Mount Holyoke’s Office of Student Programs and obtained by Campus Reform, the event was facilitated by Elizabeth Thompson, an area coordinator for the school’s residential life, and Jessica Avery, a Mount Holyoke student. Both Thompson and Avery are white.
Monday’s event had student attendees develop their own definition of “white privilege,” according to a student who attended the event and wished to remain anonymous. […]
Those in attendance were also required to fill out a variety of worksheets about their privilege including a “white privilege checklist,” a student in attendance told Campus Reform.
