Hello, it’s not privilege.

It is a European heritage that dictates a certain set of behaviors that others have come to expect from those with light skin. Folks expect that those with light skin are raised Christian and will reflect Christian values. And the majority do. Folks expect those with light skin are raised with a Western Civ viewpoint. And most of them are.

This does not constitute “privilege”. Most people with white skin have have generations of Christians and Western Civ critical thoughts behind them. Intact families. (Prior to the 60’s when the generational curse of divorce took hold.) There is just no way that those with light skin are going to reflect Oriental values, or any other values you could name. They are going to reflect Christian, western values. Nothing wrong with that. No reason it should be otherwise.

This is “The Onion” or something like it, right? Right?

For the time being, the majority of the country is white, so surprise, white people probably have an effect on the culture. Hardly "privelege" or "racism".

If I went to China, there'd probably be some disadvantages for me because of "Chinese privelege". And I'd be at an extra disadvantage if I moved there, refused to work, expected them to pay my medical care, provide my housing, refused to learn anything about their language or culture, or disrespected it. Not to mention if I had a brood of kids who grew up to commit crimes and terrorized the citizens.

Whites get the privilege of getting passed over for promotion and hiring because blacks who score lower get affirmative action.

Whites get the privilege of being called racist if they came up with an idea similar to this about blacks.

Whites get the privilege of having to serve time for not paying tax's while blacks like Charlie Rangel get a pass.

Whites get the privilege of having to put up with a-wipes who come up with this kind of crap.

Whites get the privilege of watching white politicians with their noses up black butts for their votes. Whites are getting damned tried of having the race card thrown in their face 24/7.

These annual conferences are also known as the “I Hate White People Conference”.

If you want to see how sincere the white professors are about giving up “white privilege”, ask them to give up their chairmenships, their tenure and large chunks of their pay to non-white teachers. And pigs will fly over Alabama.

the advantages white Americans enjoy simply because of their skin color.

White people enjoy advantages in the USA because their ancestors actually created, founded and built the USA. Other groups enjoy whatever advantages are to be enjoyed in nations (if any) their ancestors actually created, founded and built.

As usual the lying left boldly propagandizes in the face of reality. It's called the white man's burden. We've been slaves to the savage and uncivilized throughout all of history.

Warren Blumenfeld, assistant professor of multicultural education at Iowa State University, teaches in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Ninety-five percent of his students are going into the teaching profession.

Ya think? Many of these kids are street smart: "Hey! We can get paid for spending an entire career intoning 'White Male Christians bad, Jews evil, Asians sell-outs.'" They are specifically told that the Race Card is the ticket to never having to work a day in your life!

Asian-Americans probably suffer more than whites because of the racial preference system for blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians.

Bill Bradley tried to make "white skin privilege" an issue in his Presidential campaign in 2000 but didn't get very far with it--among Democrat primary voters.

If they wanted to be truthful (they don’t) they’d call it Acting White Privilege. If you act a certain way in society you get ahead and if act contrary to what is accepted you don’t. Its that simple. If a black kid studies hard, speaks proper English, and has decent manners, all things that will get you ahead in America, he is socially scorned by his fellow blacks as “acting white” and often times physically punished for it. The so-called privileges white people have nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with how we act.

it’s race hate by democrats.

my father was a tenant farmer; we had no running water or indoor toilets until i was 10. we worked 15 hour days, except when my brother and i went to a one room school, also without plumbing.

i went into the military to get the g.i. bill, and i worked in college.

meanwhile, black friends who grew up in cities complained about their lack of “advantages”; but when i questioned them they had indoor plumbing and they didn’t work.

now at the university, they had grants and loans and were constantly being indoctrinated by the university about their “discrimination”. they said all of us whites were “privileged”.

If white privilege exists then both black and brown privilege exist. I have seen the latter, if they exist. I have suffered discrimination, that is, if I am capable of feeling. I haven’t been able to enjoy my white privilege as much as perhaps I should have. No it just wasn’t there for me. Life is hard.

This is Marxist race baiting—to create racists. All racial groups for the last thousands of years prefered their own and gave advantage to their own ethnic group...it was for survival....ethnocentrism is natural—it was NECESSARY if you were going to survive. Marxist want to destroy America from within—so they are destroying the unity. Through Feminism, Black Power, La Rasa, Homosexual Rights—all groups to destroy the traditional values and Christian values which say every single person has dignity and worth.

It was Christianity which freed the slaves and condemned the practice—as well as pederasty and polygamy which was widely practiced. This gave equality to women and gave added value to children.

White European’s cultures promoted freedom and debate of ideas like no other societies in the history of the world...the freest and most creative societies on earth—music, art, architecture, literature, everything.

..They adopted the best ideas of every culture—Foods from many lands, spices and porcelain from China—spices from India—horns from Africa—the Roman legal ideas of a Republic and Just Law (Cicero) and Ethics of Aristotle. The Common Law from England, the Scott’s Thomas Reid school of Common Sense. It goes on and on.

America is the most accepting of all peoples....the only nation which gives minorities any power whatsoever.....it is the Rule of Law—Just Law which (when it works) gives equal justice to all.

So—this whole things is wrongheaded....it needs to be a council on how to be successful—the qualities of Honor, Duty, Wisdom, and Virtues and how Machiavelli, although the MO of the current administration, should never be the MO of a moral people. Morality is the necessary element in a free society.

All men are created equal under the law....each person should reach their full potential—our country is the only one that allows that to happen to any extent. All people need to bow to God and thank him for being in this—the most perfect of all countries to ever exist in the history of man.

These Marxists who organize these hate groups need to be called by their evil name—Marxists. And they are truly racists.

It could be more than 95%—why would any student not hoping to get into the teaching profession take a course from a “Department of Curriculum and Instruction”?

Ask the many whites, beaten and lying on the streets outside of the Wisconsin State Fair, how they felt about “white privilege”.

And I defy anyone -- black, white, yellow, or red -- who sees either a lawyer Of Color or a surgeon Of Color who doesn't ask "am I getting an Affirmative Action person who passed without knowing the material?"

AA burdens its recipients and People Of Color for life with a stain and a stigma.
