Awake Goy From: judicialwatch.org
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 doesnt exist. This alleged privilege creates a yawning divide in income, wealth, and dignity. The material described a mythical African woman who isnt aware that shes black until she comes to America, encounters white racism and discovers the U.S. is organized according to race.
The Department of the Army documents were obtained in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking:
Any and all materials used in an Equal Opportunity briefing provided on April 2, 2015, to the 67th Signal Battalion at Fort Gordon, Georgia, which included a discussion of white privilege, including but not limited to, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, audio/video tapes, course syllabi, and any recordings of the presentation itself.
The response to the Judicial Watch FOIA request included the entire Equal Opportunity Training PowerPoint presentation entitled Power and Privilege, which states:
Privilege exists when one group has something of value that is denied to others simply because of the groups they belong to, rather than because of anything theyve done or failed to do.
Privilege has become one of those loaded words we need to reclaim so that we can use it to name and illuminate the truth
…
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 American [sic] means not having to think about it [Quotation not attributed]
…
Our society attaches privilege to being white and male and heterosexual regardless of your social class.
…
Imagine a school or a workplace where all kinds of people feel comfortable showing up. [sic] valued, accepted, supported, appreciated, respected, belonging. [sic] Something very powerful keeps this from us.
The truth of this powerful forces [sic] is everywhere, but we dont know how to talk about it and so we act as though it doesnt exist
The trouble were in privileges [sic] some groups at the expense of others.
It creates a yawning divide in levels of income, wealth, dignity, safety, health and quality of life.
It promotes fear, suspicion, discrimination, harassment, and violence.
…
Consider the black woman in Africa who has not experienced white racism and does not identify herself as a black woman. African, a woman, but not black.
She only became black when she came to the U.S. where privilege is organized according to race, where she is assigned to a social category that bears that name and she is treated differently as a result. [Emphasis added]
…
The trouble were in cant be solved unless the privileged make the problem of privilege their problem and do something about it.
The fact that its so easy for me and other people in dominant groups not to do this is the single most powerful barrier to change.
Though news of the indoctrination incident was briefly reported in Stars and Stripes shortly after it occurred, only one of the above slides previously has been made public. Confronted with the information at the time, an Army spokesperson claimed the presentation was not officially sanctioned.
Judicial Watch previously obtained Defense Department equal opportunity training materials that depict conservative organizations as hate groups and advise students to be aware that many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states rights, and how to make the world a better place. And last month, Judicial Watch uncovered Air Force Academy documents that show how the Academy used its Chapel Tithes and Offering Fund to pay for cadets to participate in worship services featuring witchcraft, Faery Magick, and voodoo.
Outrageous that is the only word to describe this type of raw racist indoctrination, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. The Obama administration undermines the morale of our military with morally repugnant equal opportunity training that makes many soldiers feel unwelcome because they are the wrong sex, race, religion or arent part of a politically correct group.
