Peanut butter and RACIST

[Kaos]

Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School, was being interviewed about the school district’s equity training program designed to narrow the achievement gap. The newspaper said she “picks up on the subtle language of racism every day” and used the peanut butter sandwich to illustrate her point.

“Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ let them tell you,” she told the newspaper. “Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”

The equity program is called “Courageous Conversation” and it involves taking educators through an intensive program so they can understand their own “white privilege,” the newspaper reported.

Robb Cowie, the communications director for Portland Public Schools told Fox News they were aware of the story and to their knowledge it was factually accurate.

“What we’re trying to do in our school district is to ensure that we have instruction that is meaningful and relevant to ever student in the classroom,” Cowie said.

In some cases, that means offering programs strictly for students of color.

The newspaper provided information about a drum corps that was set up for black and Latino boys. One parent complained that the class discriminated against women, Asians, whites and Native Americans.

Guitierrez defended the class and denied it was discriminatory.

“When white people do it, it is not a problem,” she told the Tribune. “But if it’s for kids of color, then it’s a problem? Break it down for me. That’s your white privilege, and your whiteness.”

Cowie said the district did not have a problem with the principal’s statements.

So does the school system provide clubs strictly for white students?

“I’m not aware of that in Portland,” he said.

BS - Ive never once seen a school group or club that was for whites only. Ever. That would be....say it with me - DISCRIMINATION!

My eye is twitching after reading that. 

What that dumb bitch doesn't understand is that SOMEONE is going to get shat on if we go this route.  If I have to start using torta because my school is 30% hispanic, then that's 70% of kids that are going to feel lost when they would understand peanut butter and jelly.

And fuck, why the hell can America not have its own cultural identity?  Move here, be in school, learn to eat peanut butter and jelly.  Why is that such a hard fucking concept?

Because American culture has been falsely translated by some in this country (mainly the libs and mainstream media) as white culture. Even though it isn't. Especially in the south. Most of southern culture (music, food, etc) comes equally from Blacks, Scots Irish, English and Native Americans all mixed together into one. Also if you are in Texas, throw in Latino and German. Lousiana? French and Carribean. But facts be damned, let's just keep pounding that social re-engineering drum. American identity is all of it put together whether they like it or not. Accept it and assimilate!

I read that this article this morning.     That is all

I guess what they're saying is that white people should still be assimilating as well, which is complete bullshit.

So Ms. Guiterrez wants me to throw in latino cuisine along with my racist peanut butter and jelly.  But wait!  I thought I had already!  You know, like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and flan, which are just as common as peanut butter and jelly.

Sounds like they have an inferiority complex if you ask me. The extra need to be noticed, etc.

And this really frustrates me because it's creeping in all over. 

For example, at my school, there's been talk of not doing pep rallies anymore.  Why?  Because a growing number of students aren't participating or interested.

We've seen a huge spike in hispanics over the last few years.  Do you think hispanics want to participate in traditional southern high school activities?  No.  And that's fine, I guess.  They should be looked at as being lame and unwilling to join in on the fun.

But that's not what's happening.  What's happening is the white kids that get in with the hispanics (rarely the other way around) end up not caring about pep rallies either, so what used to be a fun in-school activity for the kids is now a strange, lots of kids sitting around with their arms folded or worse causing problems, some trying to have fun affair, and it's bothering the administration. 

So are we racist for wanting hispanics (or anyone not from here originally) to learn how to have fun and participate in American activities?  Are we racist for wishing our community could stay the same as it's been for years...decades even? 

Some say yes. 

Pep rallies and peanut butter sandwiches may seem trivial, but there are some that want to change everything about what is conventional in America.

Easy now. You'll get accused of hating the brown people. Trust me. I know.....

If someone wants to call me an ethnocentrist, I'll understand and probably accept it.  We can then discuss the merits of cultural relativism. 

But to use the word racist?  That's just a scare tactic to get what one wants and it tells me that they don't actually have an argument for why torta should be used along with peanut butter and jelly.

Oh please, that's just your white privilege, and your whiteness.  Whatever the fruck that means.
