Army Soldiers Sit Through ‘White Privilege’ Presentation — and the Backlash Isn’t Pretty

The U.S. Army is investigating an unauthorized diversity training presentation on “white privilege” shown to hundreds of Georgia soldiers, USA Today reported, citing an Army spokeswoman.

The Equal Opportunity training presentation was shown to about 400 soldiers of the 67th Signal Battalion at Fort Gordon on Thursday, according to Captain Lindsay Roman.

The portion of the program involved a slide projected on a screen entitled ”The Luxury of Obliviousness,” which listed elements of “white privilege.”

“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,’” one bullet point read.

After an image of the slide was posted to a Facebook page, the reaction was swift and pointed.

“That should be instant UCMJ and Dishonorable Discharge for the instructor who deviated in this manner,” George Stevens wrote.

“Pretty sick of hearing about white privilege. Nearly my entire chain of command and NCO support channel have been Hispanic or black since I joined,” Tim Wilson Jr. added.

“True story: I went to a forced EEO class and the white female SSG said we white folks were a problem. I looked around the room and everyone of every race were rolling their eyes,” Scott Hampton Truelove recalled. “We of all races went fishing, eating out, having BBQs, went to the club, together. We all never had a problem with race. We as a group stood up and walked out. She was cutting into our beer drinking time.” H/T FireWire Cont'd - > http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/04/05/army-soldiers-sit-through-white-privilege-presentation-and-the-backlash-isnt-pretty/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Firewire_Morning_Test&utm_campaign=New%20Campaign%202015-04-06

People who think the religion of Islam is going through “growing pains” in the same way Christianity did do not understand what the Reformation and today’s Jihadi resurgence actually represent. After fifteen hundred years, Christians rebelled against the Catholic Church that had become so corrupt that priests were demanding monetary payment from believers to get into Heaven. These “indulgences” represent the low point of the Church and, when the Gutenberg Bible was printed so that people who could read learned what Jesus actually said, Martin Luther of Germany and John Calvin of England led revolts against the Pope to throw off the yoke of the Catholic Church.

Christianity didn’t go horribly wrong until the 11th century when the Pope of Rome excommunicated the Patriarch of Constantinople who responded in kind beginning the Great Schism. That these men believed they could deny the other Communion, and thereby deny them admission to Heaven, was the lowest corruption of Christianity in which the only qualification for admission to Heaven is faith in Christ as Savior. The corrupted Church held Heaven to ransom for the ignorant peasants until the printing press made the Bible available to everyone.
