Chicago seminary urges students to wear ‘white privilege glasses’ February 4, 2016 By Victor Skinner
CHICAGO – If only white people could see the wildly racist white supremacy culture that dominates America and prevents minorities from living a peaceful and happy existence.
That’s the focus of the Chicago Theological Seminary’s new program and video produced to bring naive whites into the “white privilege” progressive mindset – that white folks in America enjoy a system of special perks not afforded to everyone else, and that system is hopelessly stacked against minorities.
The Seminary video, “White Privilege Glasses,” “depicts a white man seeing the world – from interactions with everyone from the police to taxi drivers – through the eyes of his black friends,” Colorlines reports.
The CTS video both exposes the seminary’s perspective on race and illustrates the white privilege mindset that’s becoming increasingly common in public school teacher training programs. In numerous school districts across the country, far-left groups like the Pacific Educational Group and others are securing massive consulting contracts to promote white privilege and race-based teaching.
“Come in for your free pair of glasses,” the video reads, providing a white privilege glasses website.
CTS explains its motivation for the video on the site:
ZitatThe mission of CTS is to work towards greater social justice. And nowhere is this more needed than in the area of race.
To this end, CTS has created a web video to shine the light on White Privilege. We believe the racial divide will only change when the collective “we” understand the concepts of privilege and begin to identify and correct the systems that advantage one group over the other.
We intend for this White Privilege Glasses video to spark discussions and inspire dialogue about this very serious issue. We want to start people thinking, talking … acting.
