Are white people automatically put on the fast track to succeed in life? A new video being shown to high school students is designed to make them think just that.
The animated film titled “The Unequal Opportunity Race” was shown to students at a Virginia high school.
In the short film, white people compete in a race with black people. The whites are given a ridiculous head start and then as a black athletes catch up, the white athletes are placed on a machine that manually guides them at insane speeds to the finish line.
A grandfather of a girl who was shown the video complained to WWBT. “They are sitting there watching a video that is dividing them up from a racial standpoint. It’s a White guilt kind of video,” he said. “I think somebody should be held accountable for this.”
The school defended the video saying, “a segment of the video was one component of a thoughtful discussion in which all viewpoints were encouraged. As always, we are welcoming of feedback from students and their families, and we address concerns directly as they come forward.”
Stephen Crowder probably said it best. “Here’s my biggest issue with this video: the message it sends to young minds. To black Americans it says: the world is stacked against you. You’re just a victim of life, accept it. Take a helping hand from affirmative action, it’ll level the playing field. Somehow affirmative action will also prevent a premature death, imprisonment, and having children out of wedlock.”
While the video was intended to show things from a black and white perspective, there's no reason why the left's favourite “white privilege” argument can't be applied for others.
The end of the video says “affirmative actions helps level the playing field.”
Ya, it levels it. Levels it like dropping a bomb on it.

I don’t support what you say, but I support your right to say it.
Leftist mythology about the forced equity utopia, inevitably devolves culture down to its lowest common denominator in the quest to make underachievement equal with achievement – the historic experiments in this have always retarded any culture built on rewarding conformity rather than excellence – these political ideologies retard their users and thus equity-based collectivist nations always lagged behind success-driven nations – there had been envy since the failure of the first collectivist state – that age old envy of success is now genetic in leftist critical theory indoctrinating and it’s latest materialization is this attempt to defame western cultural achievement as a race based “privilege” .
Utter idiocy, which would only make sense to losers who have convinced themselves that their own deficiency in self actuation are someone else’s fault.
Did they view this video first before making their video?

Let us work with what we have in common and not be side tracked into believing one shade of flesh is closer to God than another.
Divide and conquer is raising it’s ugly head.
It is ideas that can be harmful or helpful, not one’s “race”.
These whining minorities (all colors) need to wake up and understand what finances their Lazy, Conniving fantasies. Time we have a “White Pride day” – for all the white sweat going to literal waste simply because socialist agenda rides our asses off – and damn anyone who takes insult by it! …like still blaming Caucasian people for enslaving blacks – it was Blacks who sold blacks into slavery – learn your history – get over it!! If it weren’t for our generous welfare throughout history (YES a war was fought by white men to free your lazy asses and still are) – you would never have survived till now. …and this is not a blanket statement – I have some great friends from all colors of mankind – all decent peoples – it is your self-pity which segregates your own selves. Man up and grow a pair – responsibly raise your bastard children – we are sick of paying for your hedonistic ways & your social experiments.
Fit in or fuck off!!
Right on , Bravo Zulu, (and as your name says) ‘job well done’
1. If serving your country for many years and being abandoned by the government when you lose a limb, or,
2. Working while sick because if you do not work you do not get paid, or,
3. Getting blisters and sweating while working hard in the out doors, or,
4. Working and freezing while working out doors, or,
5. Working a second job after hours to ensure you can get your last kid through that engineering degree at university, or,
6. Never collecting welfare or unemployment because you will do ANYTHING to keep the family fed and housed and clothed, or,
7. Always paying your bills on time in order to keep your credit rating up, or,
8. Always paying your taxes on time so the various government agencies can smear you with disdain They are our employees – we pay their salary!), or,
9. Driving ONE ten year old vehicle in order to keep the family fed and clothed and put the extra towards education for your kids – no car payment, or,
10. Not taking a vacation because you cannot scrape the cash together for anything other than a “staycation” …….
If all the above is white privilege then fuck anyone who tells the average working stiff – who built this country from bottom to top.
If you are of another colour and do not do the same I simply say to you – if you had the balls and the driver to get a ticket in one of the trades you can have the same “privileges” that I do. If you are collecting benefits and do not have a health or physical impairment – YOU are your own worst enemy – no matter WHAT your colour is.
Otherwise shut the fuck up and enjoy what us white folks GIVE you.
Because I for one am now completely understanding why the cash economy is growing so rapidly.
I am tired of financing your complaints and getting no thanks for it.
So are the others who have invited you in to this country and watched you sit on your arse and TAKE.
Rant over.
Sorry for the spoiler. :-/
I don’t root for people who fabricate victimization.
