| 'The Pilgrims were illegal aliens' [VIDEOS] |
| 2013-02-15 |
| Confidential, expensive USDA sensitivity training Footage of the United States Department of Agriculture's compulsory "Cultural Sensitivity Training" program reveals USDA employees being instructed to refer to the Pilgrims as "illegal aliens" and minorities as "emerging majorities" -- at "a huge expense" to taxpayers. The video clips were made public Thursday evening by the conservative government accountability group Judicial Watch, which obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made on May 18, 2012. The clips star Samuel Betances -- a diversity instructor with Souder, Betances and Associates -- who says in the video that he got his diversity training start under former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. In the clips, Betances instructed USDA employees on the proper thinking about diversity and minorities -- or, as he called them, "emerging majorities." Between requiring the employees to repeat that "every federal agency has discriminated against African-Americans, Hispanics, Native American Indians and other groups," and a long account of his personal history, Betances encouraged the employees to take note because the presentation is "a huge expense." "If you take a look at all of you here and you think about your salaries and your benefits and what you have left undone -- plus my fee -- plus the expense of the team that's putting the video together, this is a huge expense," he says in his video. |

| #7 If the Pilgrims were indeed illegal aliens it really points out the need for stronger border inforcement. What a backwards argument. |

| #6 So the USDA position is that letting in 'illegal aliens' means the locals will lose their land, culture, and country in the end. Sounds more like a dire warning than a denunciation to me. |

| #5 What superficial, knowlege-free nonsense! But it's most.y conservatives who read history these days, liberals having gone in for what it pleases them to call 'social studies'... and 'news'. |

| #3 The brave work of Samuel Betances is a generational stop-gap measure. His work must continue until total control of the government public education system is achieved and they become effective transmission belts for group-think, victimization, socialism, and communism. Our next session will permit you to stand up, move around a bit, and become interactive. By a show of hands, how many here are familiar with the Umkhosi Womhlanga dance ? |
