There is no end to the vacuity of white liberal fakery.
Charlotte Hays (the same person who blogs here?), writing in the Opinion Journal, tells of a new project financed by the Ford Foundation called “Difficult Dialogues.”
“The program, which was announced earlier this month, actually pays colleges to hold “conversations” on such subjects as race, sexual identification and religion. The talk does not come cheap. Twenty-seven institutions of higher learning have been awarded $100,000 each, and 16 others are receiving smaller grants of $10,000,” she writes.
According to the Ford Foundation (try not to laugh):
Difficult Dialogues was created in response to reports of growing intolerance and efforts to curb academic freedom at colleges and universities. The goal is to help institutions address this challenge through academic and campus programs that enrich learning, encourage new scholarship and engage students and faculty in constructive dialogue about contentious political, religious, racial and cultural issues.
One would be hard-pressed to think of anything more idiotic than giving money to colleges for “dialogues” on how racist America is. That’s what the classroom is for, isn’t it?
Difficult Dialogues is part of a broader, $12 million effort by the Ford Foundation to understand and combat anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and other forms of bigotry in the United States and Europe. It builds on the foundation’s history of supporting efforts by colleges and universities to foster more inclusive campus environments and to engage effectively with the growing racial, religious and ethnic diversity of their student bodies.
Red Alert! Red Alert!
Whenever you see words like Islamophobia, bigotry, and diversity, it means you’re about to get an earful of belligerent, anti-America, anti-conservative, anti-Christian, and anti-white ranting. I’m sorry to tell you this, but if you believe “Difficult Dialogues” is about anything else, you need to have your IQ checked.
Such programs are designed for white liberal elitists hiding out in mostly-white gated communities so they can sit around yapping with darkies (Too provocative. Welcome to 2006!) “African-Americans” and other hyphenated folks all day about “life and stuff.” Hilariously devoid of substance, such “dialogues” do nothing more than placate guilty whites so they can go home feeling good about themselves and their “tolerance” for anything other than the intellectual diversity of their own culture. Which happens to be the greatest in the world, by the way.
Bored hypocritical dilettantes. 
Update: “Courageous Conversations about Race”: Oh, brother! You know, these people don’t really want to have an honest conversation about race. I guarantee you that! (Thanks, Hube!)
