Student Leaks University Quiz to Determine How "Privileged" You Are, And How Often You "Microaggress"
This apparently was part of the course materials for a university course on.... HR.
Yes, apparently colleges now teach you how to be a Human Resources bureaucrat. As if enough time wasn't being wasted in HR, now we're giving college credits in How To Tell People Where the Copy Machine Refills Are. Like most bullshit fields in need of an actual purpose, this degree in Human Resources -- and serious, are you kidding me? -- is the most easily co-opted by the Social Justice Warriors. The weakest members of the herd always get the sickest. English literature and various arts studies -- always lacking an underlying theoretical rigor (which they can't really have, since art is subjective) -- were the first to be destroyed, as the field of literature (at a scholarly level) was infected with one "theory" of literature after another -- ultimately becoming just post-modernist and infected by "critical theory," which is just Marxism without the tedious emphasis on economics. You don't need a math credit to do "critical theory" of gender. That's why they invented it. To be Marxism for Gurlz. And so this is now what little Hitler Middle Adulthood members to be are being taught."Still!" Get with the times, brother/sister!
"I was told as a white woman it's insulting and a microaggression for me to cover or sing a Rihanna song because I'm not from Barbados," a student who was in the class told me. "I was literally told to go sing the Star-Spangled Banner." The student, who asked not to be identified, sent me copies of both assignments – including a 100-item checklist to determine how much "privilege" you have.... The student who reached out to me wants to work in human resources ---and the class is mandatory. "They teach you that if you are not part of the minority you cannot be discriminated against," she said. "A black person cannot be racist to a white person. A female cannot be sexist towards a man because men are the majority." Here’s a sampling of the 100-question privilege checklist: · I am white. · I have never been told I would “burn in hell” for my sexual orientation. · I still identify as the gender I was born in.
· I work in a salaried job.... · I have had an unpaid internship. · I don’t know what “Sallie Mae” is. · I have frequent flier miles.... · My parents are heterosexual.... · I have never been called a terrorist. · I have never questioned any of my identities.... · I've always had cable.
The useless-idiots-in-training were then asked to judge a "scenario" as to whether a "microagression" speechcrime had taken place. Here's a good one:
· "I think true marriage is between a man and a woman because that's what the Bible says, but I respect everyone's choices." (A woman discussing marriage equality in a classroom discussion). "That blew my mind," the student told me -- referring to the gay marriage question. "If I'm asked my opinion, I can't say it because it’s offensive?" The student said there was a "huge" classroom discussion about the issue. "The professor said if it (your opinion) hurts others you should question those views -- specifically the Bible," she said. "The professor said we should question the Bible and question where those views came from."Might I question where the professor's views derive from? And if you're thinking "Well at least they're not teaching this risible white-hating nonsense to middle schoolers," then feller*, have I got some bad news for you. * I don't mean "feller" as in fellow, as that would be a microagression against Persons of Vage. I meant "feller" as in "tree-feller." I've always been racist against fellers, and I assume they're always thinking things that are untrue.

Today I wonder what it'll be like when everyone is a victim. If everyone is a victim, who will be left to be the assailant?
We'll need a Hierarchy of Victimhood, I suppose, because someone needs to be held accountable. Someone, in this Stupid Nation of Ours needs to be the Boogey Man or else the whole absurd House of Nonsense implodes.

Back in my younger days, all kinds of drunk dudes touched my hair in bars. And once, on freshman moving day, a little black girl reached out and touched my hair on the dorm elevator (it was at the time long and bleached blonde). She said to me "you sure do have pretty hair, lady." So am I, or am I not, privileged?
Also - if I attend church on Sunday, I'm privileged? Yes, I am privileged, because I'm relatively certain that I've checked the boxes to meet my savior in the after life. But privileged here? How can that be? The doors of my church are open to all. Just show up for one of our Sunday services and we will gladly find you a seat, and offer you a donut and some sh*tty coffee. No privilege involved one way or the other. All are welcome.

We'll need levels of victimhood. The higher your level, the more benefits and power you have. The lower levels of victimhood will be society's pariahs.
In other words, the victims will become the worst victimizers. This is, of course, by design. It's payback, if you please.

orientation. The teacher wanted to know if the children identified as
straight, homosexual, bisexual, asexual or pansexual."
First, that is terribly intrusive for middle-schoolers.
Second, it is illegal to ask prospective employees about this sort of thing, so why would it be OK for a teacher ask students this same information?
Either it's appropriate or inappropriate - who's to say that a teacher wouldn't treat you differently based on your responses, which is the assumption when these queries happen in the workplace.

They had to engage in one of these in-class "privilege exercises" designed to humiliate and destroy the self-esteem of college freshmen.
The designers of the "exercise" thought they were exceedingly clever by (as in the examples above) phrasing the questions non-racially, but designed to segregate the class by race anyway. The purpose being that at the end of the exercise all the whites are standing at the front together, where they then get condemned as "privileged" and must grovel and apologize.
Well, my friend who grew up poor and white in an inner-city had a life-experience that "flipped the script" (to use leftist terminology) and in every case answered the "wrong" way.
So the exercise went like this:
"If you have ever been bullied or beaten up because of your race, take one step backward."
My white friend takes one step backward, along with many of the black kids. Teacher stops the exercise. "ZF (zombie's friend), did you hear the question correctly? I asked whether or not you had been bullied or beaten up because of your race."
"Well, I was beaten up daily by black kids, because I was white."
Silence.
Exercise continues. "Did you have school history lessons that focused on people who didn't look like you?"
All the black kids step backwards -- including ZF.
Teacher glares. ZF explains: "We had an afro-centric curriculum in (my inner-city school district). All we ever learned about was African-American history."
Silence. Some grumbling.
Exercise continues: "My parents had well-paying jobs." Most white kids step forward. ZF stands still.
Etc. etc.
At the end of the game, ZF was standing way way way even behind the black kids is "most under-priveleged"-territory.
Exercise ruined.
Result: ZF sent to counseling to discuss why he insists on being so "disruptive" in class.

I think the little commissar got her lingo mixed up.
When you're talking about men, you have to say they are institutionally "empowered" and that is why you can't be sexist when you trash them.
I give her a C-. It's very important to get over the "majority" meme. What if you have a school where 90% of the students are non-white? You can't give up hating whitey just because they are not a majority!

" ... nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Seems fair, innocuous even, but this language has been stretched and perverted to all kinds of bad ends, including by HR departments and college administrators.
You see, the 14th Amendment was adopted to protect the civil rights of recently freed slaves, and now, by progressive interpretive extension over the years, to protect the civil rights of other oppressed minority groups, which by definition can and must exclude any and all cis-normative white males (the "Others").
In the current phase of this progressive interpretive extension, the 14th Amendment will be used to override any and all civil rights of the Others, including but not limited to the Bill of Rights, because otherwise the "liberties" of non-Others guaranteed by the 14th would be abridged, don't you know.

For the love of God, WHY?! HR is something you accidentally fall into, you don't CHOOSE it, am I right? Why wouldn't you want to do something productive with your life, something that has a creative window, maybe (and I don't mean art necessarily, but where you can do things in an unexpected way or maybe actually invent something using useful SKILLS).
In HR you sit there helplessly while the momma bird vomits something into your mouth.
I certainly hope she changes her major. If HR really is a major, which I still have a hard time accepting.

A professor there had papers being handed in which were filled with egregious errors of grammar and spelling. He meticulously corrected each one in red ink and returned them to the students, indicating that their work was sloppy and unacceptable, and offering that he would work closely with them to improve it if they wished.
A thermonuclear shitstorm immediately ensued.
Because the professor was white, and the students were of dusky hue.
It essentially destroyed the prof's career. One incident of "microaggressions". Despite his having note-perfect liberal bona fides up to that time.
Oh, and the department within UCLA? The graduate school of education.

I was at work all day, but I've been sneaking peeks now and then. This morning a crane lifted it off the drone ship and placed it onto a stand on the dock. There have been workmen and vehicles buzzing around here and there, and you had to see it to truly appreciate the size of this rocket.
Not much has happened for the last couple of hours. I don't know whether they will transport it to the hangar tonight or wait until tomorrow.
April 12 is a pretty big day in the history of spaceflight. On this day in 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man to orbit the Earth, and the Space Shuttle made its maiden flight in 1981. Now, in 2016, we have the arrival and offloading of the first booster stage to be recovered at sea.

But basically, what they are teaching enables no one to adjust to a society that might occur past these issues, just to be bitchy and retributive in this one.

Oh, God. Remember that they'd show casualty counts once a week? (Somehow I think it was Fridays).
I was sure we were winning the war because every week was like:
North Vietnam/VC: 3,275
South Vietnam: 900
United States: 112

Hah. My friend told me about once when he was a kid he was with his dad in the car and it was raining hard. The wipers broke. So his dad tied a string to the wipers and he had to pull them back and forth through the window while his dad drove

Close.
The only reason HR exists is due to government meddling in private businesses. It's a symptom not the problem but, like its cause, it has run amok and evolved into destructive monstrosity in and of itself.
It is now illegal in dozens of ways and considered immoral, unethical, and probably racist (or would be, if I were not white and male) for me to simply agree to trade my time and labor in exchange for cash or in kind trade at a rate that is agreeable between me and an employer.

What happens to people when they never have to face a real fight against real evil, they start making up stuff to crusade against. Well my guess is that you will soon have more battles than you know what to do with and much of this will vanish in a puff of idealistic smoke. Like the idealism before WW1.

Still no cable, though.

Hah! Cold water flat with three families/apartments sharing one toilet! If you forgot to bring toilet paper, you could use the newspaper squares that were spindled on the nail in the wall. We did have our own tub/shower though, which was a large cement utility tub off the kitchen.

I was living in NYC and met a guy who played for a rugby club. They had try outs and I made it based on running and jumping ability, not knowledge of the game.
They hadn't invented the internet yet, so I scoured bookstores trying to find out if someone had written down the rules and explained the things. They hadn't. So I played wing ("the right field of rugby" my alleged friend said).
We had Americans, Brits, and Aussie/Kiwis.
The Americans were generally big and strong, sometimes converted football players. The Brits were scrawny little shits who understood the game the way we understand baseball and were excellent.
The Aussies were big and strong and knew the game and also loved pain. Didn't seem to care whether giving or receiving.
I had just moved in with the future Mrs. Bandersnatch and I really couldn't maintain the required drinking and maintain that relationship, so I stopped after a pulled hamstring.

Serious quesiton: How do you call a rugby game. I played on a team for three months and still never figured out the rules.

I've played rugby ONCE in my life. On a Saturday morning, I was hanging 'round the barracks talking to the duty NCO when the company XO comes in. "We're short two guys for our team. You and you. Get your cleats if you have 'em."
We get out to the field and the opposing team is Samoan. All. Of. Them.
Yeah, no more of that shit, EllTee.

A good number of these people are going to wind up dead, either through suicide or substance abuse. The only right thing to do is to only tell them things that are true, and damn the consequences. No more pretending they have a case when there is no case. Lies only lead to destruction.

I used to watch some rugby in Van Cortlandt park back in the day. Had no idea what was going on, but loved all the violence! Great game. Real men.

"Van Cortlandt park" for a long time was the home of Old Blue, which for years was the best team in NYC and often the best on the East Coast.
Van Cortlandt park is amazing -- arguably the best cross-country course in the East, two public golf courses, every Hispanic nation has a soccer team, several Commonwealth countries play cricket, Gaelic football, and oh yeah, baseball.

Key rule is "offside" The ball itself is a moving line of scrimmage. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the ball that's OK but you can't do anything until you get put back onside.
No blocking.
You have to wrap tackle -- no spearing, which makes no sense if you don't have a helmet. NFL defenders always try to create fumbles and have forgotten how to tackle. Elite rugby players are better at open field tackling.

It's the preppies being all judgmental, as they must be to keep their tender fragile eggshell minds from realizing how much of their life is pointless.

One of the things I like about my current job is I get to spend a lot of time in the southern hemisphere so I get to watch a lot of rugby. A lot. They have whole stations that just play rugby in places.
I played one year in college when I was done with football but I never really knew the rules. Turns out, I did know most of them cause there aren't that many.

Yep. It's a real gem in the middle of the Bronx. I played softball there for years (girls bar league--Piper's Kilt Pub), and spent many a weekend at Gaelic Park. My youngest ran XC and we went back to Vanny once a year for the Manhattan College (I think) meet. He loved that course.

My grandson goes to school in that district. I can't tell you how happy I am that he's being properly programmed. And I don't get much comfort that he's only 8, because I have no doubt that whatever is being shoved in his ears now is already over the line.
"This should be taught at home," says the one parent. How about not being taught it at all, Mrs. Stiles? How about teaching the kids not to get into the van with this pervert?

There are coyotes in the Way Back of Van Cortlandt Park. My sister has seen them on neighboring streets. The coyotes seen in Manhattan and Queens are probably from here; they follow the train tracks
