A controversial 600-plus page manual used by the military to train its Equal Opportunity officers teaches that "healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian" men hold an unfair advantage over other races, and warns in great detail about a so-called "White Male Club."
"Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege," reads a statement in the manual created by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI).
The manual, which was obtained by Fox News, also instructs troops to "support the leadership of people of color. Do this consistently, but not uncritically," the manual states.
The Equal Opportunity Advisor Student Guide is the textbook used during a three month DEOMI course taught at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. Individuals who attend the training lead Equal Opportunity briefings on military installations around the nation.
The 637-page manual covers a wide range of issues from racism and religious diversity to cultural awareness, extremism and white privilege.
I obtained a copy of the manual from an Equal Opportunity officer who was disturbed by the course content and furious over the DEOMI's reliance on the Southern Poverty Law Center for information on "extremist" groups.
"I'm participating in teaching things that are not true," the instructor told me. He asked not to be identified because he feared reprisals.
"I should not be in a position to do that," he said. "It violates Constitutional principles, but it also violates my conscience. And I'm not going to do it – not going to do it."
DEOMI instructors were also responsible for briefings at bases around the country that falsely labeled evangelical Christians, Catholics and a number of high-profile Christian ministries as domestic hate groups.
I contacted the Pentagon as well as the DEOMI multiple times for comment on this story, but so far they have not responded to my requests.
DEOMI opened in 1971 in response to the civil rights movement. It's responsible for Equal Opportunity/Equal Employment Opportunity education and training for military active duty and reservists, according to its website.
The subject of white privilege emerged in a 20-page section titled, "Power and Privilege."
"Whites are the empowered group," the manual declares. "White males represent the haves as compared to the have-nots."
The military document advises personnel to "assume racism is everywhere, every day" and "notice code words for race." They are also instructed to "understand and learn from the history of whiteness and racism."
"Assume racism is everywhere, everyday," read a statement in a section titled, 'How to be a strong 'white ally.'"
"One of the privileges of being white is not having to see or deal with racism all the time," the manual states. "We have to learn to see the effect that racism has."
On page 181 of the manual, the military points out that status and wealth are typically passed from generation to generation and "represent classic examples of the unearned advantages of social privilege."
"As such, the unfair economic advantages and disadvantages created long ago by institutions for whites, males, Christians, etc. still affect socioeconomic privilege today," the manual states.
The guide also points out that whites are over-represented and blacks are underrepresented in positive news stories, that middle class blacks live in poorer neighborhoods than middle class whites and that even though there are more white criminals than any other race, the news coverage of black criminals is about equal to the news coverage of white criminals.
The military manual goes into great detail about a so-called "White Male Club."
"In spite of slave insurrections, civil war, the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, the women's suffrage movement leading to the 19th amendment, the civil rights movement, urban rebellions and the contemporary feminist movement, the club persists," the document states.
DEOMI states that "full access to the resources of the club still escape the vision of equitable distribution."
The military also implies that white Americans may be in denial about racism.
In a section titled, "Rationalizations for Retaining Privilege and Avoiding Responsibilities," the military lays out excuses white people use.
"Today some white people may use the tactic of denial when they say, 'It's a level playing field; this is a land of equal opportunity,'" the manual reads. "Some white people may be counterattacking today by saying political correctness rules the universities or they want special status."
DEOMI points out that if "white people are unable to maintain that the atrocities are all in the past, they may switch to tactics to make a current situation seem isolated."
They said some of the ways whites may claim to be victims include saying things like, "I have it just as bad as anyone else," "They're taking away our jobs," or "White people are under attack."
The military concludes the section by urging students to "understand and learn from the history of whiteness and racism" and "support the leadership of people of color."
I called former Congressman and Lt. Col. Allen West (ret.) to get his take on the manual. In a nutshell – he wants a congressional investigation.
"This is the Obama administration's outreach of social justice into the United States military," he told me. "Equal Opportunity in the Army that I grew up in did not have anything to do with white privilege."
West said he is very concerned about the training guide.
"When the president talked about fundamentally transforming the United States of America, I believe he also had a dedicated agenda of going after the United States military," he said. "The priorities of this administration are totally whacked."
West said the DEOMI manual reminded him of a similar program inflicted on the military by President Clinton.
"They came down with a new training requirement called, 'Consideration of Others Training,'" he said. "The soldiers were supposed to sit around and go through vignettes and talk about their feelings."
I truly wish the Pentagon and the DEOMI would return my telephone calls. I'd like to know how teaching soldiers, airmen and sailors about white privilege and fomenting racial division helps them protect our nation from the enemy.

"'To the Previously Disadvantaged'
We are sorry that our ancestors were intelligent, advanced and daring enough to explore the wild oceans to discover new countries and develop them.
We are sorry that those who came before us took you out of the bush and taught you that there was more to life than beating drums, killing each other and chasing animals with sticks and stones.
We are sorry that they planned, funded and developed roads, towns, mines, factories, airports and harbours, all of which you now claim to be your long deprived inheritance giving you every right to change and rename these at your discretion.
We are sorry that our parents taught us the value of small but strong families, to not breed like rabbits and end up as underfed, diseased, illiterate shack dwellers living in poverty.
We are sorry that when the evil apartheid government provided you with schools, you decided they'd look better without windows or in piles of ashes.
We happily gave up those bad days of getting spanked in our all white Schools for doing something wrong, and much prefer these days of freedom where problems can be resolved with knives and guns.
We are sorry that it is hard to shake off the bitterness of the past when you keep on raping, torturing and killing our friends and family members, and then hide behind the fence of 'human rights' with smiles on your faces.
We are sorry that we do not trust the government... We have no reason to be so suspicious because none of these poor "hard working intellectuals" have ever been involved in any form of "corruption or irregularities".
We are sorry that we do not trust the police force and, even though they have openly admitted that they have lost the war against crime and criminals, we should not be negative and just ignore their corruption and carry on hoping for the best.
We are sorry that it is more important to you to have players of colour in our national teams than winning games and promoting patriotism. We know that sponsorship doesn't depend on a team's success.
We are sorry that our border posts have been flung open and now left you competing for jobs against illegal immigrants from our beautiful neighbouring countries. All of them countries that have grown into economic powerhouses after kicking out the 'settlers'.
We are sorry that we don't believe in witchcraft, beet root and garlic cures, urinating on street corners, virginity testing, slaughtering of bulls in our back yards, trading women for cattle and other barbaric practices. Maybe we just grew up differently.
We are sorry that your medical care, water supplies, roads, railways and electricity supplies are going down the toilet because skilled people who could have planned for and resolved these issues had to be thrown away because they were of the wrong ethnic background and now have to work in foreign countries where their skills are highly appreciated.
We are so sorry that we'd like this country to fulfil its potential so we can once again be proud South Africans.
The Previously Advantaged"
Heitän tähän potentiaalisesti rasistisen ja sovinistisen kysymyksen, että montakohan prosenttia isoista ja tuottavista firmoista on valkoisten miesten perustamia? Ja jatkokysymyksenä, mikä muita estää perustamasta firmoja ja tekemästä niistä isoja tai tuottavia? Vai estääkö enää mikään?
Ei liity suoraan valkoiseen taloon, mutta sieltä firmoistahan on pikatie valkoisen talon huippuvirkoihin.
Useimpien tilastojen mukaan Yhdysvalloissa parhaiten menestyvimpiä ryhmiä tuppaavat kyllä olemaan eurooppalaisperäisten valkoisten sijaan itäaasialaistaustaiset sekä juutalaiset. Tulemmeko kuulemaan näiden kahden edellämainitun ryhmän "epäreilusta etulyöntiasemasta"? Eipä tietenkään, sehän olisi rrrrrasismia ja natsismin kanssa flirttailua.
"Eräs valkoisten etuoikeuksista on se että he eivät ymmärrä mistä rasismissa on kysymys, eivätkä siis kykene sitä havaitsemaan."
:roll: Nyt keulii ja kovaa. Käytännössä tämä tarkoittaisi sitä että mikä hyvänsä ja kaikki hyvänsä on tai voi olla rasismia, ja jos valkoinen ei sitä ymmärrä, niin ei se mitään, se johtuu valkoisuudesta. Usko kun sanotaan.
Rasismiselittelyssä on sekin haitta, että jos ongelmien taustalla olisikin jokin muu syy tai syitä, niin ne jätetään huomiotta, ja korjaamatta, koska syyllinen on jo löytynyt: valkoisten rasismi.
Näitä manuaaleja pullahtelee esiin vähän väliä, sillä jenkit ovat nähtävästi päättäneet vajota tähän paskaan ensimmäisinä ja syvemmälle kuin muut.

Tällä linjalla olisi sitten tarkoitus voittaa sotia. Naurattaisi aivan helvetisti jos olisin omilla ansioillani edennyt musta/latino. Armeija on paikka, jossa upseerin on voitettava miestensä (ja naistensa ja intersukupuolistensa) kunnioitus, vähintään 'hate his guts' -tasolla, jotta yksikkö toimii kunnolla. Se ei ole normaalistikaan mikään maailman helpoin tehtävä, ja jos on epäilyksiä, että kapteeni on kiintiöneekeri, siitähän se riemu vasta repeääkin. Positiivinen erityiskohtelu jollain julkisen sektorin työpaikalla ehkä heikentää toiminnan tasoa ja huonontaa ilmapiiriä, mutta sen kanssa voi vielä elää. Armeijassa tämä kuitenkin tarkoittaa sitä, että kun toiminta alkaa, sotilaita kuolee ja vammautuu.
Sitten pelaan natsikortin, koska näissä jutuissa se kuuluu tehdä jossain vaiheessa.
Saksa vuonna 1944: "Me emme voi hävitä tätä sotaa. Meidän armeijamme koostuu yli-ihmisistä!"
USA vuonna 2024: "Me emme voi hävitä tätä sotaa. Meidän armeijamme on monimuotoinen ja suvaitsevainen!"

Kaikesta, minkä Israelin valtion ja kansan tuhoamista vaativat palestiinalaiset aiheuttavat itselleen. Kritiikittä menee myös läpi ajatus siitä, että juutalaiset tekevät muutoin vääjäämättömän maailmanvallankumouksen mahdottomaksi ohjaamalla maailmantaloutta. Juutalainen raha ja valta Yhdysvalloissa on heidän mielestään jotain aivan muuta kuin monikulttuurista rikkautta.
Euroopan natsistigma on ainoa syy jonka ansiosta he eivät mesoa asiasta enempää. Juutalaisia tunnutaan pidettävän vähintäänkin potentiaalisina vihollisina; samaa ei voi sanoa eurooppalaisen nykyvasemmiston näkemyksistä muslimien suhteen.

Myös juutalaiset vasemmistolaiset syyttävät Israelin valtiota monesta asiasta mitä he ovat tehneet palestiinalaisille, jotka asuivat alueella ennen kuin siionistit suorittivat etniset puhdistuksensa.
Juutalainen raha ja valta ei ole vasemmistolaisille mitenkään erilaista kuin muu raha ja valta. En ole koskaan kuullut vasemmistolaisen kritisoivan juutalaista finanssivaltaa jotenkin pahempana kuin muiden 'kapitalistien' ja 'sortajien' finanssivaltaa. Milloin vasemmistoliitto, viherät tai SDP ovat tehneet tätä? Tai joku muu merkittävä eurooppalainen vasemmistolainen puolue?
Please explain the term "PREVIOUSLY DISADVANTAGED" - Kindly make special reference to following:
1. Who "disadvantaged" the black people of the interior Southern Africa before the (supposed) 'belligerent' white settlers moved inland in the mid-19th century? What the settlers found was not hugely advanced infrastructures ¬ deep mines, hospitals, vast libraries of written knowledge, imposing institutions of learning, etc.
No, as little as 170 years ago, they found masses of black people (indigenous to the Southern tip of Africa) living on the fringes of the Stone Age. Primitive beings dressed in skins, wielding sticks, living in primitive dwellings, dragging - and carrying their meagre possessions around, since they had not been introduced to the benefits of the wheel yet!
2. Ethiopia - a country that was NEVER colonised is today one of the most desolate places on the planet! Who "disadvantaged" the people of Ethiopia?
3. Compare Zimbabwe and Germany with each other and please explain the differences. In 1945 Germany was, for all intents and purposes, flattened to the ground and torn in half. Fifteen years later, West Germany was described as an "Economic Wonder."
Around the same time as the end of apartheid, Germany was re-unified. It yanked the now-unified Germany back four centuries in time.
Yet, in about fifteen years (for the second time within a few decades) it built another 'economic wonder.' Today it is fast becoming a global leader in almost every field!
On the flip side – Zimbabwe's people were handed one of the wealthiest countries in the WORLD (for example: a currency that was stronger than the US Dollar!)
What is the situation today? Competing with Ethiopia as the most desolate hellhole on the planet? Please explain...
I can carry on for days -- but let that be enough for now.
Just one more request: please, pretty please, kindly respect the intellect of our audience and refrain from cheap (ANC-like) red herrings, for example calling people racists.
Just answer the questions above directly and with tangible substance.
In parting, I would suggest the following: The term "Previously Disadvantaged' is as much a fantasy as is the delusional lunacy that threatens voters with the revenge of the ancestors.
The same delusional insanity that claims the words "KILL THE BOER" really only means, "Come over to my homestead / compound / bunker / mansion / palace for tea and cookies."
You cannot take something from somebody WHO NEVER HAD IT in the first place!
In fact, what is it that white people, specifically white men, are supposed to "give back" to black people?
Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE explain to me what it is that white men took from blacks?
LAND? Blacks NEVER owned any land. Any form of formal ownership is a Western concept. The black tribes of the mid-19th century haphazardly SETTLED in an ad hoc manner - effectively governed by tribal savagery - in other words, the most savage ruled the land (a bit like Hillbrow today).
They simply ran away until they could not run any more - not having ANY grasp of the concept of a horizon or for that matter any measure of finite land mass – for example, the boundaries - that is the fundamental concept of ownership.
MINERALS? More hallucinations aside – for example, ancient gold mines – a little bit like the Zimbabwe Ruins (the Pyramids, etc) - next to the magnificent structure, the indigenous people built stone-age dwellings out of dirt and sticks (at best emulating the birds).
Minerals beneficiation is an entirely Imperialist /Western concept - in fact, in many ways it saw some of the most tangible advances, by WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN MEN - just peruse some of the academic papers at Wits' Engineering Library.
WEALTH? Money, capital and the pivotal mechanisms of the wealth that allows you to breathe, eat, have children, live a rather healthy productive and fulfilling life, but also allowed the cognitive development that leads you to make your daft comments here - it is ALL of Western origins.
In fact, the key advancements in modern finance and economics were made by the DUTCH.
Why do you think New York's financial centre is called 'Wall Street'? It was initially called 'Waal Straat' when the settlement was under Dutch control - Yes, my dear, the Dutch took their cognitive substance there as well.
The same Dutch that were the most direct descendants of the people who landed at the Cape in 1652.
In fact, the modern 'WEALTH system' was originated by the Dutch and it funded the explorations around the tip of Africa.
Perhaps we robbed the 'disadvantaged' blacks of their private jets, 5-star hotels, their Breitling watches, their Italian designer suits, or their German luxury limousines, their Blue Light Brigades or perhaps their space shuttles?
Mmmm... I just hate the implicit assumption that whites stole from blacks.
