Wisconsin White Privilege Conf. Organizer: Rape Isn’t Intrinsically Bad

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the University of Wisconsin System, and the City of Madison have all sponsored a conference at which one organizer flatly declared that rape isn’t intrinsically bad. Video footage obtained by the Education Action Group of the White Privilege Conference held in Madison in March shows an unidentified organizer of the conference declaring that nothing is intrinsically wrong. When asked if that statement applied to rape, she said it did.

The stunning exchange between an investigator and the unidentified organizer went like this:

Investigator: “Would you define discrimination as something intrinsically bad?”

Organizer: “No I wouldn’t say it’s intrinsically bad…As a sociologists, I think context means everything, history and context, and in some contexts I think some things are appropriate and other contexts…”

Investigator: “Rape isn’t intrinsically bad?”

Organizer: “It’s not.”

Media Trackers first exposed the City of Madison’s financial support of the White Privilege Conference, and the MacIver Institute has discovered that both the University of Wisconsin System and the state Department of Public Instruction spent money on the conference.

According to the City of Madison’s Lucia Nunez, who leads the Department of Civil Rights, $1,500 in City money was used to help sponsor the conference. Additionally, at least one city employee was loaned to event organizers to help put together the conference.

    I’ll go out on a limb and say that the White Privilege Conference is intrinsically bad.

    So is rape.

    Sure rape is not intrinsically bad, as long as it happens to someone else! How is she going to feel about that statement if her daughter,mother sister or herself were raped? I want to hear her say that again if G-D forbid that should happen.

    from the speaker’s perspective, it’s entirely possible he/she/it could explain it this way-

    If a woman who is white, privileged, republican, 1%’er, pro-life, etc, it would not be intrinsically bad for that woman to be raped by a poor and oppressed back guy who votes democrat and has an obama-biden bumper sticker and is on welfare.

    After all, RIGHTS depend on how you vote and how you think.

    Rights are not intrinsically rights, just like nothing is intrinsically bad.

    In the warped mind of a liberal, that is.

    ……unless you’re the victim of the rape.

    I implore all women to purchase a firearm and learn how to use it. The time is swiftly approaching when you’ll need it to protect yourselves and your children.

    Not letting a white person with stellar grades into college is ok if a person of color with mediocre grades wants that spot. If someone raped Ann Coulter, that would be ok because she’s white,privileged & holds views in opposition to theirs.
