The exaggeration of white privilege has become a cornerstone of progressivism. It’s also one of the ways Democrats risk losing the 2020 presidential race, as it leads inexorably to the devaluation of voters needed to clinch the Electoral College.
The problem with a race-based, victim-washed vision of 2019 America is that being white is not enough, and never has been. I was a diplomat for 24 years, about as privileged a job on paper as you can get. But inside the State Department, being white was only a start. The real criteria was “pale, male, and Yale.” Being white (the pale part) was great, but only if you were also a man; women were stuck in less desirable jobs (girls are nurses; boys are doctors). No surprise, then, that the State Department has been sued over the years by its women and black diplomats.
But white and male got you only to the door. The “good” jobs required the right background, preferably via an Ivy. A sort of proud graduate of The Ohio State University, my privilege only went so far. I couldn’t fake it. They knew each other. Their fathers knew each other. They had money—well, parents with money. We Big Ten alums never got our class action together and so muddled mostly at the middle levels.

Democrats are persecuting whites as the “new Jews”. We know they have whites and wish whites the worst.
I think Democrats are going to be shocked at the number of minority voters who don’t care for their (NEW) form of racism, “get Whitey.”
I think Democrats are looking longer term, past this particular election, in drumming up racial and ethnic resentments.
They see the American population changing, with whites overall becoming a minority of the population in the next 20-30 years, AND, drumming up fears of racism and discrimination to get minority group members to always vote Democrat.
I think they are looking to create a permanent Democrat majority, in Congress and the presidency, if only that can lock down the votes of members of minority groups, and votes from “oppressed” people such as homosexuals and Muslims.
“I think Democrats are going to be shocked at the number of minority voters who don’t care for their (NEW) form of racism, “get Whitey.””
If they’ll go after someone else, based upon their skin color, or beliefs, or whatever, they will come after you at some point. That’s just a fact.
black people didn’t like it when the Dems put on masks and came after them, so why should white people like it now?
"Nothing excuses the at times dangerous behavior of Donald Trump and some of his supporters."
Could peter van buren provide actual evidence of his idiotic claim?
He forgot to add Gay to the resume of pale, male and Yale.
My biggest pet peeve trends are white progressives who pretend to be enlightened but are in fact covering up their ACTUAL racism by bashing on Trump supporters...
and the new “Christian Left.”
The Democrat plan is white genocide as a means of cementing electoral supremacy.
Quite a few of them don’t hide it at all.

Yes they are and Bush League Republicans like Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio want to help them achieve it with amnesty for illegal aliens.
The SocDems don’t need ANY white votes in 2020. All they need is SocialDemocrat control of the vote counting process in the major cities in each state. They almost blatantly showed us how it works in selected cities in the last two elections and proved that there is no penalty and no opposition. They failed in Florida because of incompetence. They will roll out the process to all the Democrat Cities in 2020. I hope DJT has a plan to thwart this that he’s not talking about.
“pale, male, and Yale.”
I like that!
During the Trump roundup this should be done.Check the precinct list of registered voters where these people resided. If they’re on that list, Federal crime, charge them and those that enabled them to vote knowing they were illegals. If ebough noise is made it should discourage illegals still here from voting. Besides determining how they got a drivers license show how much it’s costing taxpayers of that state. Also point out increased premiums on drivers insurance rates. As well as demonstrate how ,local ,state and federal taxes are increased by divertting edicational, medical, food and housing allocations to meet illegal’s needs at citizen expence.
Democrats hate white people and any white person who is a democrat is a self-hating person who wants the rest of us to suffer in the same way they themselves suffer.

This is why the State Department sucks...
Kids born on third who think they hit a triple... Bet 'mommy and daddy' used their pull to get these losers into Yale in the first place... God save us from white liberal elites with more money than brains...
[Her answer, praised by CNN as “powerful,” was a wandering narrative about how, while white privilege didn’t spare the questioner unemployment, the loss of her house, her son to opioids, and her soul itself at the hands of rapacious inequality, the black folk in Youngstown had it worse—’cause the supremacist cops would bust a black kid for weed while a white kid would walk away. It was the perfect answer for a progressive media hit. It was the worst possible answer if a candidate actually wanted to win some of those Ohio votes. Gillibrand stumbled on to say she that she understood families in the community were suffering, “but that’s not what this conversation is about.”]
Thinly veiled leftist at State.
