content: I do not understand what is taking place that minority groups are trying to do this.  Its truly confusing to me that someone would be that emboldened to make statements like this in a classroom with any white student present.  If we replace whiteness with blackness in these comments, they become offensive and would cause outrage, so how is it acceptable to say it about any race.  Granted we did not see the rest of his explanation of what he believes "whiteness" is, but as you said, there are many great things that have come about because of our society structure.  And yes, one can bring up Africa and other countries that do not have their shit together, and the argument becomes how they were stepped on and held back but blah blah blah.  No, If my community needs something, I will build it or try to make it.  Just sitting in dirt and not doing anything is the fault of the inhabitants of any place, regardless of race color or religion.  I forgot the actual post or article, but there was one about South Africa and how the police were required to hire more native africans or turn the police services back to native, non whites to run.  Just do a google search of South African police sleeping on duty.  Its disgraceful.  The post I saw had images of very militarized white officers doing raids ect, and was juxtaposed with images of black police sleeping on duty.  One image is a room of 5 people at a station all asleep.  It sends the message that they dont fucking care, just want to get paid and sleep.  Seriously, what the fuck are you doing, as a cop that you are not able to stay awake for your shift.  Its truly disturbing.  No one should be handed things based on race.
