According to Professor Cody Pogue, the riots occurring in Baltimore are, in part, due to white privilege. Pogue teaches at Houston Community College and San Jacinto College.
Today Pogue wrote an article titled, “The Baltimore riots within the context of White Privilege.”
His article begins, “I do not approve of the riots in Baltimore. At the same time, I do not understand what else we expect them to do. Numerous studies have proven that, in America today, white people are more privileged than black people.”
Pogue then writes about “white privilege,” saying that, “White people nearly always get the benefit of the doubt, but black people rarely ever do. White people are considered hard working until they prove themselves to be lazy, but black people are considered lazy until they prove to be hard working.”
He continues on about white privilege for several more paragraphs. He concludes this sentiment, writing, “In America, we subject an entire race of people to this unfair treatment” and then “we send white police officers into their communities who often expect them to be criminals in the first place. Then those white police officers mistreat them and often wrongfully kill them. Then we expect them to smile and take it.”
...“Don’t get me wrong,” Pogue pleads, “I am not making excuses for people who commit crimes… But instead of directing all of our anger to these desperate people who feel that they have no other choice, why don’t we direct our anger toward a system that has made them this desperate? Why don’t we direct our energy to bringing about change? Why don’t we end the system of privilege that advantages white people over black people every day?”

Professor Cody Pogue, properly pronounced Professor Cody Pig, needs to be taken out and horse whipped.
Ummm, ‘cause what he calls white privilege is really the result of human experience.
Send him to Baltimore somhe can explain that to the rioters
By the time we’re done it will be,
BUSH’s FAULT!
Cops in Baltimore be Bruthas. Including da chief.
Next excuse.
In general, they have earned it.
...but black people rarely ever do.
In general, they have earned it.
Why not? According to some, everything else that happens is.
More privileged in this day and age? Are you kidding me?
We pay taxes. We work an extra 2 - 3 hours a day just so others can receive benefits we will never have access to. Its a well known fact that if one applies himself, takes responsibily for his own actions and his future, andworks hard the chances of them becoming successful increases greatly.
...more Black cops than White.
I’m privileged to own a gross of COSTCO TP and I’m not giving it up. Come and Take It!
White Privilege is the new Global Warming, the bogeyman that everything can be blamed on.
Bullshit!!!
Doing what used to be known as “right”... like getting an education, not doing drugs, not having babies out of wedlock and getting and keeping a job... ALL is now dismissed as “white privilege”. So we get Baltimore.
Getting away with rioting in Baltimore is the result of Black Privilege.
White Privilege is the newest incarnation of antisemitism.
Accusations of White Privilege and antisemitism are driven by the same thing - envy.
“outsiders” envy the prosperity of “whites” or “Jews” or whatever group is thriving,
though they will refuse to adopt the value system that is the cause of that prosperity,
preferring to bring down the force of the State to
eliminate that prosperity.
Bullshit (on both counts). I'm therefore reasonably sure anything else he says is also a lie.
+1, Like, Bump, and all that rot.
