Parents outraged after students shown ˜white guilt’ cartoon for Black History Month
A Virginia school district has banned the use of an educational video about racial inequality after some parents complained that its messaging is racially divisive.
The four-minute, animated video ” “Structural Discrimination: The Unequal Opportunity Race” ” was shown last week to students at an assembly at Glen Allen High School, in Henrico County, as a part of the school’s Black History Month program.
The video contextualizes historic racial disparity in the United States using the metaphor of a race track in which runners face different obstacles depending upon their racial background. It has been shown hundreds of thousands of times at schools and workshops across the country since it was created more than a decade ago, according to the African American Policy Forum, which produced it.
“The video is designed for the general public,” said Luke Harris, co-founder of the African American Policy Forum and an associate professor of political science at Vassar College. “We produced something you could show in elementary and secondary schools or in college studies courses.”
He added: “We found that the video has a huge impact on the people that we’re showing it to. Most of us know very little about the social history of the United States and its contemporary impact. It was designed as a tool to throw light on American history.”
But in Glen Allen, about 14 miles north of Richmond, some parents complained, calling it a “white guilt video.”
Henrico County Public Schools officials initially defended the video, saying it was “one component of a thoughtful discussion in which all viewpoints were encouraged.” But after the story began to spread nationally, school officials switched gears, labeling the video “racially divisive” two days later.
“The Henrico School Board and administration consider this to be a matter of grave concern,” School Board Chair Micky Ogburn said in a statement released to The Washington Post. “We are making every effort to respond to our community. It is our goal to prevent the recurrence of this type of event. School leaders have been instructed not to use the video in our schools.”
“In addition, steps are being taken to prevent the use of racially divisive materials in the future. We do apologize to those who were offended and for the unintended impact on our community.”
JdN: The cartoon is also implying Asians are unfair….. Here someone Chinese-looking makes the black girl take a drug test. Blacks often hate Asians because, despite being of a different race from whites, they have often succeeded spectacularly through hard work, studying and thrift.
The scope of the backlash remains unknown, but the statement noted that “school division leaders” received “numerous emails and phone calls objecting to the video.”
Among the parents who found the video problematic was Don Blake, whose granddaughter attended the Glen Allen High assembly, according to NBC affiliate WWBT.
“They are sitting there watching a video that is dividing them up from a racial standpoint,” Blake told the station. “It’s a white guilt kind of video. I think somebody should be held accountable for this.”
Kenny Manning, a student at Glen Allen High, told ABC affiliate WRIC that reaction on campus was mixed.
“A lot of people thought it was offensive to white people and made them feel bad about being privileged,” Manning said. “Others thought that it was good to get the information out there. There is oppression going on in the world, and that needs to be looked at with a magnifying glass, I guess.”
The video begins with four athletes ” two of them white, two of them non-white ” taking their marks before a race. After the starting gun fires, the two non-white runners are forced to remain in the starting blocks while their white counterparts begin running. The non-white runners are hit with words such as “slavery,” “broken treaties,” “genocide” and “segregation” as the white runners pass them by.
The white runners eventually pick up dollar-symbol-marked batons that grow in size and are eventually passed off to younger white runners who enter the race.
It takes more than a minute until the non-white competitors are allowed to begin running. Not long after they do, they are confronted by overwhelming physical obstacles, such as a rainstorm, rocks, a large hole in the track and sharks.
Each obstacle, the viewer learns, symbolizes real-life barriers to success, such as discrimination, poor schooling, standardized tests, racial profiling, the school-to-prison pipeline and housing discrimination. The video shows that these obstacles result in shortened lifespans for the non-white runners.
….When will someone just get up and state racial truth?
The success of East Asians in America proves that if you work and study hard and do not blow all your money on foolish things and spend your time dancing, chasing the opposite sex and working out in the gym, anyone of any race can get ahead.
Blacks and Mexicans need to look at their own faults.
And Jews need to stop doing demagogic, violence-inciting hate videos against the white “race” (pun intended)!

¦..Why won’t ABC News release the hate-filled rant of gay black murderer Vester Flanagan in July 2015?
http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2015/08/28/when-will-abc-release-full-vester-flanagan-manifesto/
If the goal (all false-flags have goals) is a race war, why doesn’t the media release the Flanagan hate-whitey, hate-homophobes, revenge-for-“Charleston” manifesto?
I am pleased to see the general public and activists eagely trying to take apart any news story conducive to gun control ¦. being now well-educated on the false-flag concept and how it is practiced.
Sandy Hook
Charleston
September 11
USS Liberty, to get the US to declare war on Egypt
JFK assassination; Lyndon Johnson was a half-Jew and wanted Israel to get The Bomb
But I think there is now a false-flag psychosis, and I show below that IMO many objections to the Virginia/Parker-Ward double murder are not accurate in this one case.
In fact the Enemy may be entrapping us in this one, because his clear narrative is THE PITY PARTY for “the poor blacks and the poor gays.”
But what this false-flag scenario says ” IN THIS CASE ” is supporting the leftist, NWO agenda we loathe. It isdenying any white, straight people were killed by an angry, racist black homosexual (who was fired from four tv stations in a row!), usually after getting “setlements.”
Playing the discrimination card as a “gay black man” was his racket at station after station!
Bryce Williams (tv name for Vester Flanagan) is not some made-up character but a man who was on tv for years in various smaller tv markets.
Cui bono? Or is the “bono” to sow confusion and infighting?
“Oh, the poor journalists!”! Can’t say “Oh, the three poor, white, straight, sane, working people shot by a misfit, white-blaming, white-hating, narcissistic black faggot who wanted to kill whitey over ˜Charleston.'”

John D. Nugent I suggest you read the article. No, comrade, not all black shootings of rapes or whites are hoaxes. I have looked carefully into this one and do not believe that this particular one is a hoax...
-
John D. Nugent In fact, saying it was a hoax says no whites died. Cui bono?A respected source who is a hoaxer wrote me:[4:14:29 PM] : But a 300 lb. guy approaching on a wooden walkway, carrying a gun in one hand and a TV camera in the other, would have been VERY CONSPICUOUS. I think this one is as phony as they get. That’s my take.
[4:41:04 PM] John de Nugent: Why would he approach with the gun drawn?
[4:48:20 PM] : They cannot have not seen him. Even the one who was being interviewed should have seen him. This HAS TO BE a staged event with all of the participants in the know. I see no way around it. He is pointing it at her for some time before the shooting occurs. It is a completely unbelievable sequence.
[5:03:51 PM] John de Nugent: I would suggest you read th entire blog. I deal with these issues.
[5:05:20 PM] John de Nugent: As I emphasize, I believe in, and have even done important investigatory work myself on false-flags for the purpose of gun control. I 100% support Sofia Smallstorm on Sandy Hook, for example.
[5:06:30 PM] John de Nugent: But an angry gay black man? JHow is that far-fetched? Hhe was fired from four different tv stations and played the discrimination card at each of them! and got “settlements”.. ¦it was his racket.
[5:17:39 PM]: He was fired in February 2013. That’s two years and a half ago. I find this far-fetched, but I respect your position, even when I disagree with it.
[5:18:51 PM] John de Nugent: He stated in his 23-pp rant to ABC News that he was triggered by the Dylann Storm Roof supposed shooting, which was just two months ago, and “I hate white people.”
[5:19:44 PM] John de Nugent: So he shot three white people in revenge for an incident that never happened.Margaret Huffstickler shared a link to your timeline.43 mins ·

BLACK, GAY REPORTER MURDERS STRAIGHT, WHITE JOURNALISTS ” MEDIA BLAME THE GUN
On Wednesday, America met a deeply evil human being: Vester Lee Flanagan II, also known as reporter Bryce Williams.
Williams murdered two people while they were live on air on WDBJ in Virginia: reporter Alison Parker, and cameraman Adam Ward. After the murders, he went on the run “ and while he was on the run, he tweeted out his rationale for the killings, accusing Parker of making “racist comments”and Ward of going “to hr on me after working with me one time!!!” He then posted video to his Facebook and Twitter pages of himself shooting both at point-blank range.
Williams is black. Parker and Ward were white.
Williams is gay. Parker and Ward were straight.
None of which would be relevant, except that Williams specifically cited his identity as a factor in the killings. In a 23-page rambling letter sent to ABC News, Williams wrote that the Charleston church shooting in June should have provoked a race war:
.
“Why did I do it? I put a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15 ¦What sent me over the top was the church shooting ¦You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE ¦(deleted)!!!”
.
According to ABC News, he claimed he had “suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work,” that he had “been attacked by black men and white females,” and that he had been
“attacked for being a gay, black man.”
Williams marinated in his self-appointed victimhood status. He filed a lawsuit against his Tallahassee, Florida employer, WTWC “ a lawsuit settled out of court. He filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against WDBJ after his firing “ a complaint the EEOC dismissed.
.
According to WDBJ station manager Jeff Marks, Williams was “an unhappy man” with a “reputation as someone who had been difficult to work with ¦ looking out for people to say things that he couldtake offense to.”
.
Had a white straight man killed a black gay man, released first-person tape of the shooting, and then unleashed a manifesto about being victimized by affirmative action and anti-religious bigotry from homosexuals, the media would never stop covering the story.
.
They’d be eager to report that shooter’s motives with all the attendant politically-correct hullaballoo about the racism and homophobia of the United States more broadly.
.
We would hear about white supremacy (reprehensible Black Lives Matter leader Deray McKesson actually jumped the gun, thinking the shooter was white, and tweeted, “Whiteness will explain away nearly anything”).
.
We would hear excoriations of the Republican presidential candidates for their failures to stand with the Black Lives Matter movement “and their opposition to same-sex marriage. In similar circumstances, the entire political and media establishment determined that the Confederate flag was somehow to blame for Dylan Storm Roof’s brutal slaying of nine people at a historically black church; just last week, the media tried to blame Donald Trump’s anti-immigration stance for two thugs beating up a Hispanic homeless man in Boston.
.
But Bryce Williams’ self-described victim status, even while murdering innocents, will merit no rethinking of the divisive politics in which he apparently bathed. We won’t have a conversation about whether pushing a perennial picture of victimhood for blacks and gays in the most black-friendly, gay-friendly country on the planet could drive supposed victims to violence.
.
We won’t talk about whether the Democratic Party’s takeover by the Black Lives Matter crew has encouraged some people to believe that only black lives matter, since only black lives are in danger “ and even then, only some black lives matter, namely those killed by white people. .
.
Instead, we will be assured that Bryce Williams is an outlier by the same people who blamed Sarah Palin for Jared Lee Loughner shooting Gabrielle Giffords.
.
It is true that statistical outliers should not be used to club entire movements into submission. But leftists protesting at the linkage between Williams and their favored political causes have no ground on which to stand “ they consistently blame conservatives for outlier events with no statistical basis. Moreover, Williams’ violence is part of a larger trend, not of black men killing white people (that still happens disproportionately, but the numbers are down), but of black men using supposed American racism as a rationale for violence more generally, and of gay people using supposed American homophobia as a rationale for violation of others’ rights.
.
Some in the media are actually going beyond delinking Williams from his politics “ they’redefendingWilliams’ perverse worldview, questioning whether evil, racist, homophobic America created him. Columnist WonderWomanist at Gawker wrote, “I can understand him being frustrated with racial discrimination at his job but it was not worth throwing his life over ¦ RIP to the victims even though they may have been racist.”
Kay Steiger at ThinkProgress took Williams’ self-serving narrative at face value: “One part of the document included the phrase ˜Suicide Note for Friends and Family’ and detailed discrimination he experienced as a gay, black man.”
But most of the the media will swivel to gun control, following the lead of the White House and Hillary Clinton, both of whom called for heavier gun control laws “ even as both push for the release of criminals from prisons, a crackdown on law enforcement, and a racially divisive narrative of the country pitting black against white, all for political gain.
All of these policies will do nothing to stop Bryce Williamses ” in fact, they will make Bryce Williamses more common. Teaching Americans that they aren’t victims would be a great way of battling evil “ most victims aren’t evil, but virtually all evil people think they are victims, and thus justify their violence. But teaching Americans that they aren’t victims would undercut the Democratic message that all minorities are victims, and thus require bigger government. And that message, and its attendant political success, must take precedence over the building of a more inclusive, more understanding country.
