Just Stand There Silently While I Scold You
New students at Pomona College, Claremont, California, were welcomed to campus with posters in their dorms… stating that all white people are racist. The signs state white people should “acknowledge your privilege” and “apologise if you’ve offended someone,” adding that offensive language includes words like “sassy” and “riot,” which are “racially coded.” “Understand that you are white, so it is inevitable that you have unconsciously learned racism,” it asserts. “Your unearned advantage must be acknowledged and your racism unlearned.” Further, the poster claims that white people should “just listen!” rather than explaining their own perspective.
Don’t talk back. Dialogue is oppressive. Unilateral racial scolding is where it’s at. Because, for people of pallor, your very existence is something to atone for – and no-one would ever take advantage of free hits. After much “unlearning,” and suitably chastened and humiliated, you will then take your place in the new and glorious progressive pecking order.

Sure, and if forced to choose between the UK and, say, Syria, the UK would win hands down. Should I therefore pretend that Rule of Law is un-threatened in the UK, or that Political Correctness is not undermining respect for RoL?
@Chester Draws: So which is it Jabrock?[sic] The US does actually have the rule of law, or your police are the racists that the SJWs say they are?
The US is a big place, and there’s a lot of ruin in a nation. We have less rule of law than we used to, and I don’t see that trend reversing. Some parts are worse off than others. As for the prison populations, I don’t see that as relevant. I see rule of law breaking down as people are NOT sent to prison, or are released earlier than they should be, or as prosecution becomes too arbitrary. And calling the condemnation of the Clintons “tiring” doesn’t actually address their criminal histories, bribe taking, rapes, rape cover-ups, framing of videographers, running the State Department as a pay-to-play get-rich-quick scam, etc. Though given Hillary’s! latest health issues, *she* certainly seems to be tiring.
Apparently pointing out that rule of law appears to be declining in the West needs a trigger warning.
