Kyle Shideler<\/strong> You\u2019ll never be radical enough.<\/p>\n Americans are struggling to come to terms with the significance of the ongoing insurrection on America\u2019s streets. How does one understand the motives of those who chant \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d while demanding to topple a statute erected by freed slaves to celebrate their own emancipation? <\/p>\n After 9\/11, American citizens were encouraged by leftists to ask, \u201cWhy do they hate us?\u201d Today the same people, trained by years of victim-blaming to hold themselves accountable for terrorism both foreign and domestic, are asking a similar question. \u201cWhat flaw of ours makes these nice mobs so angry?\u201d<\/p>\n The approved answer appears to be \u201cbecause of our white privilege, which must be dismantled.\u201d If the presence of Robin DiAngelo\u2019s White Fragility atop the New York Times Top Ten Bestseller\u2019s list is any indication, many Americans are coming to accept this response. What is \u201cWhite Privilege?\u201d The National Museum of African American History and Culture offers the following definition, produced with your tax dollars:<\/p>\n White Privilege<\/strong><\/p>\n Since white people in America hold most of the political, institutional, and economic power, they receive advantages that nonwhite groups do not.

If you are white in America, you have benefited from the color of your skin.<\/em><\/p>\n This view of America\u2014as a country with a racial caste system\u2014has long been prevalent in academia and has spread to the culture more broadly, even to the government. Government bureaucrats are increasingly pushing such rhetoric in mandatory trainings, as City Journal\u2019s Christopher Rufo has been tirelessly documenting. <\/p>\n But it did not arise out of thin air.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read the rest of the article here: The American Mind<\/a><\/p>\n Thanks, Senior Chief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
