With illegal hispanics and homosexualists being given advancement ahead of the black community, no wonder they are p!ssed about their boy Obama.

Trayvon Martin and Making Whiteness Visible (The acknowledgement of "white privilege")

Being forced by (ahem) *laws* to accept someone of questionable character because of the color of their skin isn't a 'privilege', it's a burden.

Sadly, that’s probably the case.
You’d probably be in some trouble for “brandishing” even if you felt your life was being threatened.

Really, if the lefties want to reduce the number of self-defense shootings, they should change the law so that someone cannot be charged with a crime for deterring an attack by letting them know you WILL shoot them if they press their attack.

The same idiots that decry “white privelege” are also the same idiots that will attack their fellow blacks for “acting white” when they study in school, or find some other success. The call something a privelege and then demonize the success that comes with the privelege. Reminds me of the story of a bucket of crabs....

I’ll second that-the author is just pushing that time honored concept of liberal white guilt. If these people are still unhappy after everything they have been given over and above other Americans, then let them walk off that liberal plantation and into the real world-there isn’t any “privilege” for color or ethnicity other than what you make for yourself ...

” an unearned set of privileges.”

I’m sick of this. Why doesn’t the left just say that they want to eliminate Whitey, after taking all his money, of course.

Way beyond my “fill,” too.

But at least this serves a useful purpose; letting the imbeciles reveal themselves in such a public fashion makes them much easier to identify.

“White Privilege” means never getting to use your skin color as an excuse for laziness, sloth and failure.

Arrghhh! I am white and I am NOT GUILTY. I am not as PRIVILEGED as you think I am. I do not enjoy MINORITY PRIVILEGE. I take second place in line for JOBS or SCHOOLS. I can't have a white club or holiday about anything. I can't be proud to be white or you say I am a RACIST. Anytime another white person does something wrong, you look at ME.

So please, minorities, clean up your own houses and STFU.

Or maybe the privilege was earned... by Einstein, Edison, Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Yeats, Keats, Shakespeare, Jobs, Buzz Aldrin, Sally Ride, Churchill, Eisenhower, Balanchine, Beethoven, The Beatles, Babe Ruth — and by my father who spent three and a half years in a Japanese prison camp.

Does anyone actually subscribe to or read Time Magazine (more like a thin pamplet) anymore? I wouldn’t even bother linking to it or going to its site. I wouldn’t want to give their site even a single “hit” and I’d advise others to leave it alone also. Let it die the death it so richly deserves.

Yep.

I grew up in the deep South and, though my family wasn't at all racist (my mom was actually a head start teacher), the racists I knew in my community didn't actually hate Black people...they just didn't believe in integration. They certainly discriminated but they didn't hate.

What we have learned from Obama and Jeremiah Wright is that Black churches (of the Liberation Theology denomination) have indoctrinated many Blacks with a seething, white-hot hatred for Whites. It's a new kind of racism based on deep seated anger at anyone with White skin.

I don't know if or how such a thing can be overcome. It's like a disease.

It’s kinda like liberalism.

It’s only dangerous if it has the power to affect your life.

A strong application of state sovereignty and the 9th and 10th amendment would make use of the 2nd less likely.
