Outrageous! Army soldiers at Fort Gordon are made to sit through a “white privilege” presentation!

Fox News has covered a story that took place at Fort Gordon where soldiers were sent an an unauthorized training session. It was called Equal Opportunity training. My guess is that this was a move for the government to make moves to educate and bring up the discussion of race and privilege. I, being an African American male, with views of sexual fluidity, and more of an egalitarian perspective on things that easily picks up on the systematic racism that has been built into this nation's laws; don't think that the government has the jurisdiction to really touch on race relations and education. The government has done enough by failing at its core goal; to protect the citizens, their rights and strive to be a fruitful nation. The government has allowed itself to be purchased by the highest bidder, Capitalism, and barter and trade it's citizens opportunities to Globalism. However I must digress, This Equal Opportunity Training was held in a classroom setting and in one of the slides there was a statement that said, "Race privilege gives whites little reason to pay a lot of attention to African Americans or to how white privilege affects them. To be white in America means not having to think about it." It seems like we aren't the only ones pondering about White Privilege in class... What do you all think about this statement that was found in this presentation? Do you think the Government has the jurisdiction to talk on such a topic as such? Have they been properly educated as such? In light of such, people have voiced their opinions of such all ranging from accusations of government brainwashing to the lecture truly being needed. I think the way they stated white privilege was phrased well.
