Professor: You Still Have "White Privilege" Even if you "Survived a Nazi Concentration Camp"
Pundit Press ^ | 3/16/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/16/2015 9:34:49 AM PDT by rightistight

Professor of multicutural education at Westfield State University Robin DiAngelo has a message for white people living in the United States: it doesn't matter what hardships you've had to face, you still have white privilege.

In an interview published today, Professor DiAngelo talked about "white fragility," or how white people dismiss racial issues like "white privilege."

According to the interviewer, Sam Adler-Bell, a story about a Jewish person's struggle against Nazi tyranny "followed a familiar script" for Dr. DiAngelo: a white person is offended when someone says they still are privileged, even though they've faced hardships in their lives.

"It’s a frustrating dynamic that I encounter a lot. I don’t have a lot of patience for it," DiAngelo said.

...She then continues, "And white fragility also comes from a deep sense of entitlement. Think about it like this: from the time I opened my eyes, I have been told that as a white person, I am superior to people of color..."

"The arrogance of white people faced with questions of race is unbelievable," Dr. DiAngelo concludes.

No, they know that would leave them in the Stone Age; they simply want lives of leisure in perpetuity provided by whites. When they do get their wish (and whites completely leave an area), look at the result. None want to live in a “North Haiti”; they need people to maintain the modern conveniences they enjoy.

So, if you are white and you won’t admit you are a racist because of it (white priviledge — being born that way), you are weak with white fragility.

So?

That is how the PC crowd continue to win. They come up with crazy theories and allegations, push them on the public, and fight to the death to make them a part of the culture.

They know most won’t fight back but will cower in fear of being labeled.

The root problem of liberalism its belief in an external locus of control for individuals. An individual fails not because of the individual’s values or lack of responsibility but because of society being at fault.

Thus the liberals establish institutions that guarantee a culture of learned victimhood (learned helplessness) which essentially cripples both the development of an individual and the society as a whole.

It’s not “white” privilege, innocent Asians - and even no few black Africans - have it too. It is an affliction which affects anyone who was never given the option of slacking off from schoolwork.

This professor exhibits arrogance to the point of myopia, and a very dangerous myopia at that.

To be sure! The Egalitarian/Collectivist Left, from the Jacobins, Marxists, Bolsheviks, Nazis & more militant Social Democrats, on; has exhibited a frenetic, fantasy driven fanaticism, that is clearly myopic.

Note, these people believe that the end justifies the means; that they are the "future"; that changing the social environment, changes the people in that social environment, and that therefore they are not governed by the realities of normal forms of human interaction.

To such activists, social uniformity is the basic purpose of Government. (See, for further discussion, Compulsion For Uniformity.)

“Think about it like this: from the time I opened my eyes, I have been told that as a white person, I am superior to people of color...”

A classic case of projection.

I have an adopted Asian daughter that has a learning disability. Our school had some tutoring sessions after school that if you were willing to sign up and commit for the entire school year, you could join. I signed the paper and sent it in with her. She was turned away because it was “full” and “minorities and lower income students got preference”. I went to the school (after I decided I didn't want her in this group anyway) and said why is extra help based on this criteria and our town is less then 1% Asian so she is definitely a minority”. The answer I got was that Asians weren't considered minorities for educational purposes. In other words only blacks with no money can have learning issues. That to me is racist. And the thing is most of the kids are only considered low income here because they count one parents income when not married and don't count benefits. I am not trying to sound racist but it's the truth. This whack job professor doesn't seem to realize that Jews in Europe were traditionally kept from being land owners and so went into things like banking, owning businesses and later entertainment because they were turned away from other things. They prospered in these fields due to work ethic. How does that make them privileged?

What is “White Privilege”? It means you get to work, bend over backwards to support your family and help your neighbors (fellow humans), get shiited on and when you defend yourself from ferals (white or blacks), you get hauled before the courts. Simple explanation.

Its always been easy to spot the hardcore racists among us - they're the ones irrationally painting those of other enthnicities in a negative sense with a broad brush.

This 'white privilege bullish*t is a textbook example.

Albeit wrapped in some faux intellectual window dressing, its still racism of the smelliest variety.

Does this “white privilege” extend to such professors having automatic credibility in whatever they blather about in their classes, or should they be known as white liars?

That work ethic is based on religious values that the left despises.

Funny isn’t it, all my life my parents and mentors
told me I lived in America and was as good as any
one else, and all this time I’ve been better.

They might not realize what they really want, but the language they use literally means destroy whitey.

Yeah, but liberal policy and feminism shot it all to hell for the urban blacks. The rot is spreading, though.

"White privilege" didn't protect Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian from being savagely tortured and then murdered after being carjacked by a gang of black thugs.

Enforcing absolute, mind controlled, racist self-hatred to empower collectivist political efforts to destroy the Constitution.

She brings the concept of moral whore to to a transcendental level of evil.

What a fantastically ugly and totally insane person!

And that, my FRiend, is the larger point. One far wiser than I said “Whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.”

Decades of broken homes, broken fatherless families, and unbridled sexual encounters leading to multiple fatherless children with multiple women. This is what has been sown.

It is now harvest time.
