                                                                                                   Apparently, Teaching U.S. Soldiers About “White Privilege” Is More Important Than Combat Training?
The U.S. Army has apparently decided that rather than teaching them how to be the finest fighting force in the world, they’d much rather teach them about “white privilege.”
     At a “diversity training briefing” in Fort Gordon, Georgia, soldiers had to sit through a powerpoint presentation about white privilege where at least one slide listed all the unfair luxuries of being white – like the “Luxury of Obliviousness.”
     The presentation was given to 400 soldiers of the 67th Signal Batallion. One of the slides read “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 America means not having to think about it.”
