\"blacks-only\"<\/a>Insensitive and racist actions were taken by organizers of the annual American\u00a0White Privilege Conference<\/a> held in Madison, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

According to Progressives Today, when a white student reporter attempted to enter a workshop being held at the conference he was escorted out of the area because his race was too offensive to other participants, the majority of whom were black.<\/p>\n

The reason? An organizer told our investigator: \u201cIt can feel, for some people of color, unsafe. Not universally \u2013 like in your group everybody was fine, but for some people it can feel like, oh, I don\u2019t \u2026 \u201d
\n\u201cBecause I was white they would feel unsafe?\u201d our reporter asked as he was led out of the workshop.
\n\u201cExactly. Exactly,\u201d the organizer said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not because you\u2019ve done anything. You seem like a perfectly fine person, but it\u2019s because of experiences they\u2019ve had with others.\u201d
\nA promotional video entitled Lessons on Neo-Segregation says that the White Privilege Conference is an annual gathering of thousands of private and public educators, students and administrators from across the country. Their stated goal is to examine and confront what they see as \u201csystemic race-based privilege in America.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The video depicts numerous Caucasian individuals referred to as \u201cWhite Allies\u201d who provide some insight into how the organization defines racism and bigotry and how they indoctrinate children in American schools to believe that, if they are white, they were born with an unfair privilege. Moreover, the entire conference, attended by many of America\u2019s public school teachers, stresses that Christianity is not a system of faith:<\/p>\n

\u201cA recurring theme at the White Privilege conference is the negative effects of European Christian culture. Christianity is presented not as a system of spiritual faith, but as an institutionalized system of social oppression like racism or sexism.\u201d<\/p>\n
