The University of South Carolina is the latest school to go full “woke,” this time hosting a “White Student Accountability Group” at its campus.
The conservative student organization Turning Point USA obtained an internal email that was sent to students at the South Carolina College of Social Work, inviting them to attend the “White Student Accountability Group” that was held on April 26.
An event description for the group outlined its purpose, which was to help participants understand their “responsibility to dismantle racism in our practice and everyday lives.”
“The purpose of engaging in this project,” the event description reads, “is three-fold: 1) To help social work students recognize both their contribution to and responsibility to dismantle racism in our practice and everyday lives, 2) To encourage students to use their voice, power, and privilege to enact change in their classrooms, community, and practice, 3) To support students in developing skills to host similar groups among peers or colleagues to expand the community dedicated to racial equity and justice.”
“It’s just very sad and disappointing that the university would organize an event that promotes legitimately racist ideas,” said Dylan Baldassarre, president of TPUSA’s student chapter at the University of South Carolina, in a statement. And Turning Point USA writer Stephen Davis had some choice words for the program in a TPUSA Instagram post.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the university told Fox News that the “White Student Accountability Group” was not officially sponsored in any way by the College of Social Work, and was purely a student project unaffiliated with the university.
“The Accountability Group was part of a student’s project,” the spokesperson said, “and was not part of an officially sponsored College of Social Work activity. The meeting was open to everyone and was strictly voluntarily.”
Official or otherwise, it remains a fact that several faculty members at the University of South Carolina have signed statements indicating their affiliation with Black Lives Matter. An “In Solidarity” statement, signed by twenty-three faculty members and posted to the university’s College of Education site, reads like typical “woke” boilerplate.
“We recognize that for far too long,” the statement reads, “schooling, as an institution, has promoted values that function as overt and covert forms of anti-Blackness, racism, antisemitism, paternalism, misogyny, and white supremacy. We assert our disgust with the historical murder of the Black community, and continued violence at the hands of police.”
“As part of our pledge of solidarity,” it continues, “we recognize white privilege and silence contributes to the horrific racial inequities and we commit to fostering growth of our critical consciousness so that we cease to be complicit in the persecution of the Black community.
“In our view, the indifference of color-blindness is ineffective in supporting anti-racism and ameliorating white supremacy. Education must stand as an institution of anti-racist action, grounded in the recognition that no one is free and equal until the violence and discrimination perpetrated on the Black community is dismantled. Leadership matters, and we seek to prepare leaders who are committed to anti-racist education, social justice, and action.”
And the University of South Caroline isn’t alone. Loyola University Maryland, for instance, as well as the University of North Texas, have also instituted “White Accountability Groups.”

How about having a PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY EVENT?? Yeah – discuss why YOU should be PERSONALLY ACCOUNTABLE for YOUR actions! Imagine discussing the issues of race, sex, WORK, CRIME, child abuse, and other topics as they relate to YOUR PERSONAL ACTIONS or LACK THEREOF!! One oF the basic elements of a functioning society is that YOU break a window – YOU PAY FOR IT!! You borrow a couple hundred thousand for a USELESS degree – YOU PAY FOR IT!! You get pregnant – YOU PAY FOR IT along with the SPERMER!! White accountability — sounds terribly RACIST!!
When do we get to see the accountability of black racism towards whites, Asian, etc?
We recognize that for far too long,” the statement reads, “schooling, as an institution, has promoted values that function as overt and covert forms of anti-Blackness, racism, antisemitism, paternalism, misogyny, and white supremacy. We assert our disgust with the historical murder of the Black community, and continued violence at the hands of police.”
Now I understand. The faculty of the University of South Carolina has just explained to me why BLM doesn’t care about black on black murders in the major Democratic cities, like Chicago. The last line about explains it all.
“We (the faculty) assert our disgust with the historical murder of the Black community and continued violence at the hands of police”.
Right there in black and white is their rational. It’s only if police kill a black that it’s a problem. Young blacks killing each other is just fine, according to the faculty at the University of South Carolina. That’s very comforting to know, well maybe except for the families of the victims. They must not hold with the lofty goals of the faculty at USC. Just a suggestion to the parents of white students that attend that school. You might want to rethink where they attend. I assume you expect them to get a useful education. Well if that’s what you’re after, I don’t think USC fits the bill. Heck I’m betting from the paragraph above they don’t even consider teaching racist math.
When do we get to protest the Egyptians for enslavement of the Jews? Where are the reparations? Germany has to pay reparations! Shouldn’t the people supplying slaves in Africa have to pay reparations. The Portuguese transported the first slaves to America, shouldn’t they also pay reparations? The English were also transporting, add them to the list! The Arabs are still practicing the tradition.
don’t forget the Roman Empire and their slaves
Or the Spaniards who enslaved the Native Americans.
Now that is an absolute lie! Just ask Nina, our new disinformation czar. She will tell you straight out that there was no such thing as slavery until the white Americans went to Africa and started bringing them back by the boat loads. If you persist in that fairy tale, she will have homeland security send their brown shirts to grab you and take you to DC. You will be incarcerated with the J6 insurrectionists and you will never be heard from again.
So you better just watch your step. Old Nazi Germany has nothing on the Biden regime.
In a white accountability meeting, I guess the topics of discussion include creating the worlds great art, literature, scientific breakthroughs, and creating the most free, most diverse, most prosperous, most generous and LEAST racist country on the planet.
The guy in the video is right on. Thank you.

Who has to gain from these so called racism projects that actually create racism? If you don’t know the answer to that question then please continue to waller in your ignorance. Because it is you who is the problem.
