Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The counseling center at University of Maryland, College Park sponsors a group called "White Awake" -- it's a weekly meet-up for white students who want to better understand race and ask questions to be better "allies" for minorities. But a flier advertising the group is earning criticism for being tone-deaf and vague. "Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable and confused before, during or after interactions with racial and ethnic minorities?" the flier asks. The counseling center has decided to discontinue the ad -- though it is not shutting down the group. "We agree with the feedback that the flier was not clear enough in conveying the fact that the purpose of this group is to promote anti-racism and becoming a better ally," the counseling center said in a statement to Inside Higher Ed."We didn't choose the right words for the flier, and we are going to incorporate the feedback we have received into a revision of it." It's unclear how long the group has been around or how it began -- a university spokeswoman attempted to arrange an interview with counseling center officials but was not immediately successful. The flier said the group offers a "safe space for White students to explore their experiences, questions, reactions, and feelings." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kokujin 558 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Lately i do think whites might be being harmed but no expectations for the amount of maturity needed to run this group without fanning blatant racism via frustration. I dont think their should be racially segregated other groups either. Blacks really should assimilate. And stop thinking they cant or arent wanted.
