Actress and activist Jane Fonda is addressing white privilege in the wake of George Floyd's death and the ensuing protests.

Fonda appeared on CNN on Sunday to discuss her own white privilege and how it affects people of color in America. "Because we’re white, we have had privilege," Fonda, 82, said to host Don Lemon during her segment. "Even the poorest of us have had privilege.

I guess Fonda has not spent much time in places like Appalachia where if one looks at statistics societal dysfunction is on par with ghettos. Put you know such places are in Flyover Country so I am pretty sure Fonda never spent a moment there. Fonda is expressing an opinion that is held by the Left. Some white child with a single mom on welfare and meth is more "privileged" then Obama's daughters.

“”Because we’re white, we have had privilege,””

So says the spoiled brat named Jane Fonda.The witch had a privileged life from the day she was born and she wants to equate herself with a White Joe or Jane six pack.

What B.S.The only privilege the average white person has id to go too work,pay their taxes and waste time on jury duty.

Totally correct. Only difference is the population density and the scenery. Only businesses in both places are pay day loans, pawn shops, and liquor stores, with exception to the occasional taxidermist in Appalachia.

Old, rich, guilt-ridden entertainers are the worst enablers of all.

Anyone remember those post-Vietnam bumper stickers, “I’m Not Fonda Hanoi Jane”? Who’d have thunk that all these decades later this bitch would still be so annoying?

Living in the real world, you meet AA doctors, lawyers, business owners, entrepreneurs - just like the rest of society. Centuries of effort and decency by our ancestors has brought equal opportunity. Stop dragging up slavery - it's over!!!!!

If those celebrities with the “most privileges’”, could give some up to the communities needing it the most, that would be real nice.

To put it simply: Anyone who believes the words of a Lousy, Lying, Liberal, TRAITOR like “HANOI” Jane Fonda. I was in Viet Nam, was wounded. Upon my return, I was treated to the sick, perverted demented antics of Hanoi Jane and her cohorts. She is nothing but Human defecation that should be removed!!!

US capitalism means we have the wealthiest and most socially mobile looters in the world.
And Jane, in America, even the wealthiest, most privileged American women such as yourself can still be ignorant sluts.

I hope these kids grew up ashamed sharing the riches of
their white privilege with the likes of Jane Fonda.

Put your money where your mouth is, Barbarella.

Give 99.9999% of your money away to poor people, so you can be poor too.

You have much more white privilege than you deserve.

I'm white. I've worked my arce off since I was 12. I finally retired at age 72.

Jane....you came from privilege. The majority of us are patriots and religious and raised our families in that spirit.
