Children are being taught that black people cannot be racist towards white people as part of an education initiative aimed at countering racism.
Teenage pupils are told that black people can be racially prejudiced towards white people but that this is not racism because that can be exhibited only by those who hold cultural power, such as white people over black people.
Children as young as seven are also being taught that white people are likely to be privileged because of the colour of their skin.
Of course we must root out the people doing this. The only interesting question is whether we use the Tyburn Tree – common criminals – or Tower Hill – actual traitors.
This was going on for 14 years under the Conservative Party and they did nothing.
The Conservative Party under Thatcher.
I was being told this at school in the 1980s.
Mind you that was under the old ILEA, an organisation so Stalinist, the East Germans used to study its methods.
So *not* under the Conservative party but under some of its its most vitriolic enemies.
I still vividly remember when I went to Uni and applied for a grant. I went to the old County Hall and had to wait during my lunch break at the counter because the guy ( Scouser) on duty was on the phone organising a strike.
Amazing how the Conservatives never thought to stop giving power and money to their “vitriolic enemies”, even when they enjoyed basically unlimited power via healthy parliamentary majority.
Yet when Labour is in power, no problem – independent schools get fucked and all sorts of malicious legislation gets passed for the purposes of entrenching Labour power and harming their opponents.
Well Thatch did eventually kill off the ILEA along with the GLC.
But it is true what you say.
Look at all the quangos Blair filled with his mates.
And the quangos the Tories filled with Blair’s mates.
The Conservatives play by the rules because they were brought up to do so, Labour feel no shame about cheating.
John, I feel sure that inappropriate legacy respect for “rules” would be a good excuse the first one or three times.
Not so much after decades of naked, rubbing-your-nose-in-it, leftist corruption of everything they touch. Voters didn’t elect Conservatives to “play by rules”, they wanted results. Instead, we got Priti Patel almost boasting at how she was incapable of getting civil servants to take the LGBTQ/BLM flag down from the Home Office when she was Home Secretary.
Tis why the Conservatives are rapidly going the way of dial up internet, floppy disks, and Little Chef.
Your studies have not included Thomas More’s logical explanation of why he would give the Devil the benefit of a fair trial.
Why doesn’t everyone see that making some people invulnerable leads to problems for everyone? A black kid with a machete who hasn’t been searched because that would be racist doesn’t worry who he chops except to the extent of making a judgement call on the rival gang’s power if he chops another black kid. Whites, women and girls don’t figure in his thinking. It’s the same with the hilarious alliance between the Left and the Muslims. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” works only so long as the enemy has the numbers. Once those numbers have been whittled down, the real fun begins and the Left won’t like that. Not one bit…
Kids who are taught this have eyes and ears. They will work out the truth of it once exposed to reality.
I really don’t know why the ideas of cultural advantage and white privilege are not actually a restatement of white supremacy, which is a cardinal sin. Or maybe original sin, but I’m not a left-footer so I don’t grasp that concept.
Fortunately the places of education I attended in the 60s and 70s were 100% white, so I didn’t endure any of this. I doubt the word “racism” was ever uttered.
By the time I left my school in the mid 1980s, the white boys were a distinct minority.
My old school had a long and charitable history (the charity bit it kept unlike other public schools) was, in the early 50s, basically WASP. Some left footers and the occasional Jew but nobody actually cared or bothered. Now it was gone entirely woke. The recently retired headmaster called himself “Senior teacher” and he has been replaced by a man who calls himself CEO (because that’s really what he is, so no complaints) but shares his lodging with his husband (again no problem but I bet HLO Flecker is spinning rapidly). What does get me though is the DEI invasion. In the quarterly old boys magazine there is a dominance of photos of black pupils far outwith the normal population balance. Sure, I understand the need for recruiting full fee–paying pupils to make the books balance but my guess is that the majority of those black faces are full fee-payers. I could be wrong but whatever, the racist influence painly is in full spate to the detriment of the whites.
For the record before anyone calls racist at me, I am in an interracial marriage.
Lots of private schools are full of upper middle class Nigerians, either living in the UK and horrified at UK state school standards, or boarders from Nigeria itself. Similar but even more pronounced situation with Chinese/Hong Kongers.
We had stacks. Three in my year – two very good rugby players and one maladjusted loon.
‘before anyone calls racist at me …’
That’s your error, apologising even before the name-calling starts.
The better option, in my humble opinion, is, when someone calls you racist, and they will, is to shrug and say I do not care.
You should not play and cannot win with loaded dice.
We’ll only get out of this suicidal funk when enough of us shrug and say I do not care.
Ideally whilst grinning.
Agree completely.
I use this method, while also pointing out to any interlocutor that if two million British people emigrated to, say, Pakistan, and substantial numbers of them refused to obey the local customs, were part of rape gangs, demanded benefits, threatened the police, started ostentatiously praying in the street, and took over councils, it would be a) absurd and b) quickly fatal, and that wouldn’t be because the Pakistanis are ‘racists’, either.
People basically like living around people who are a bit like them – nothing strange or surprising or ‘racists’ in that. A few attractive women from outside are welcome, and geniuses of either sex (along with a few genuinely talented cooks, artists, and maybe others on work permits), but we have more than enough dossers, malcontents, and simpletons of our own to need any more.
“Racist!!”
*dig up phone, pretend to check something*
“Sorry, already on there, still no bingo.. Can’t you be a bit more original?”
Many ways to make the blood of the Affronted boil….
“Children are being taught that black people cannot be racist towards white people as part of an education initiative aimed at
counteringencouraging racism.”Fixed it for them
How exciting that we’ve become California without the innovation or the nice weather.
We naturally also believe this in Oz. After all, as soon as Albo gained power, he tried to amend the constitution to give the abos a separate voice in parliament.
That’s how South Africa used to work. Interesting that’s his inspiration.
And now South Africa doesn’t work at all. Coincidence?
Ironically black people are the more racist than others.
Try the Chinese…
My missus is from Sarawak and was taught that ‘if you see a snake and an Indian, shoot the Indian first’.
If that logic held true, how do you account for the success of Jewish people? Ah, the logic is wrong…
I’d as always echo Steve’s sentiments. It’s ironic that the likes of Trott, O’Brien and even Badenoch are suddenly exercised about this. These traitors have been operating genuinely for decades – with complete impunity.
‘They are advised that they have a “responsibility” to reduce racism by being aware of their “white privilege”, improving their language and behaviour and challenging their friends’ actions.
The “anti-racism” lesson plans have been devised by a group of schools in Sheffield to “empower” students and teachers to explore ways in which learning about race and racism can challenge “the unequal systems that surround us in society”.’
Ironically we do have hugely unequal systems but the reality is the opposite of what these utterly malevolent people claim. White people, men, heterosexuals and able bodied individuals suffer ongoing systemic discrimination across almost all aspects of society. Enabled by thousands of willing totalitarians, the equivalent of the Blockleiters in 30s Germany. All need to be rooted out and removed from any public sector roles and any educational position in this country.
In a lesson plan on “being anti-racist in our actions” for key stage two children aged seven to 11, a portion of the time is devoted to “empathy building” including “privilege”.
It says: “In Britain, white people are likely to be privileged by the colour of their skin. This privilege arises because they are much less likely to be affected by racist behaviour, including bias, discrimination and verbal and physical abuse.
More lies, Goebbelsian in nature. In any altercation between whites and other races overseen by the police standing instructions are to always believe the ethnic minority in any circumstances. Racism from blacks and other minorities is a near constant feature of the output of the entire mainstream media. Again – complete propaganda with no basis in reality.
“Privileged people have a responsibility to reduce racism by: being aware of it; improving their own language and behaviour; challenging their friends’ language and behaviour; reporting incidents of racism; providing support to those who have been harmed by discrimination.”
Proponents of white privilege define it as reflecting the unearned, systemic advantages that most white people enjoy. However, critics argue that the term is divisive, unfairly generalises and alienates disadvantaged white communities.
What we do have is a responsibility to encourage remigration or indeed for people born here resettlement in majority Islamic or black parts of the world, especially for people peddling this kind of utterly toxic crap. We need to make sure the purveyors of it are charged with incitement to racial hatred, prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If the courts and legal profession are so infected by this nonsense they consider the setiments to be accurate, then we need to set up parallel courts to try the cases.
These people pose an existential threat to the country and should be treated in exactly the same way Oswald Mosley was during World War 2.
The last thing anyone wants to do is ‘solve’ racism – too many peoples’ careers depend on their being lots of it about
So much so that the race based organizations have to go about creating it. See the recent Southern Poverty Law Center kerfuffle for further details. Oh almost forgot, Blame Trump.
“have been devised by a group of schools in Sheffield”
Shudder! Has my home town really degenerated so far? I regularly post my 1970s/80s Sheffield schooling as an explemplar of education, but I’m horrified if it’s become this.
Preparing blacks for failure.
Radicalizing their youth.
Demeaning Western culture.
Commie playbook.
Doesn’t seem to require much preparation!
As a rule of thumb, when you divide people into two groups and make the relationship between them all about power, there’s probably a root in Marxism hiding somewhere in there.
In this case, it’s the same old Marxist model, just substituting “white” for “bourgeois” and “black” for “proletariat”. Also, “systemic racism” for “capitalism” and “wokeness” for “class consciousness”.
Absolutely. Frederic Douglass warned a century-and-a-half ago that when you designate people as different, you create the basis for discrimination. You virtually demand it.
His message, and Martin Luther King’s a century later, was that we are all just people. Democrats from their roots have never accepted that. They conspicuously declare blacks are different.
What is being taught in the guise of anti-racism is that blacks are different. You couldn’t possibly do anything worse to blacks.
True, dat.
I increasingly incline to the view that feminism and anti-semitism were the original building blocks of woke/Frankfurtian Marxism, and both fulfil your two-groups criterion.
Agreed. But it’s not just the two-groups criterion that matters. It’s also defining the relationship between the two as a power dynamic that makes for the real evil – men have power that women don’t, Jews have power that gentiles are excluded from, and so on.
More 20th century French philosophy I’d say. But then I imagine you’d rejoinder that has its basis in Marxism?
The key point is that it be done, and quickly. The specifics are not important next to that.
Any comments about black people being racist towards other black people?
“I stabbed him/beat him up/stole from him because his skin is a lighter/darker shade of black” .
South Africa after the ANC takeover was just a warning, which everyone seemed to ignore.
If one examines corporate hiring for the past several years, one would conclude that the power now lies with blacks. Therefore, anti-white prejudice IS racism, but anti-black prejudice no longer qualifies.
