” The only conceivable white privilege is a work ethic.”

Multi-generational achievement is not "privilege." Calling it such, in a variety of Leftist "newspeak," is not an argument for anything. It is pathetic that anyone would accord this respectability.

Of course, anyone experienced in the propaganda techniques of the Left will recognize the long-standing pattern of arguing not from the context of reality; but by the tactic of oft repeated assertions, reinforced by mislabeling anyone who challenges the assertions. This has been the tactic applied to achieve all of the great "breakthroughs" of the Left since at least the beginning of the 20th Century.

Robert Bork wrote in “Slouching Towards Gamorrah” that feminism is behind much of this nonsense. Women who hate God and their God-Given role cannot destroy God, so they go after the closest thing, white Consevative males. Sweden is where we are headed

White privilege = white responsibility.

Substitute “unicorns” for “White Privilege” and you’ll get a very good framework for just how illusory the premise of this whole scam is. Whether it’s real or not is not the issue. Whether they can force you to behave as if it is, is the issue.

I think of my ‘white privilege’ each and EVERY time (multiple times DAILY) that my boss kicks s*&t in my face... JUST because she CAN!

I am SOOOOO privileged!!!

White Priviledge is especially troubling in the NBA, NFL, and entertainment industries. We need to do something NOW!

Why shouldn't there be white privilege? For cripes sake, it was white men who built everything and continue to build everything.

Nearly every coding language was "built" by white men. Two exceptions Ruby (Japanese) and php (Jewish).

I am so tired of seeing white men beat down.

Whites' claims of hardship might also serve to legitimize the racial advantages they enjoy, and thereby justify a system that benefits their group,"

Everyone benefits generally in the context of the free and rational capitalist economic system established by whites. Compared to other systems,in the realm of consumption, there is an increased supply of goods, and lower prices, and in the realm of labor there is a larger demand for labor which leads to an increased average real wage rate and standard of living for the average worker, and higher supply of labor and level of employment, for all. It is libtardism that is destroying this arrangement and hurting minorities.

The best defense is a good offense. “White privilege” is the latest way to try to mask “minority” dysfunction and attempt to continue their true privileges in hiring, promotion, and admissions.

Right, the only demographic whose mortality rates are increasing is privileged.

Usage of the term "White Privilege" is a dog-whistle hate attack against whites.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Interesting how you worded that.

The left really really wants a race riot if not a race war.

I'm beyond tired of hearing the "white privilege" crap. If that's all you've got, you're holding a rubber sword.

LOL.

After 400 years, by 1918 every part of the Earth's surface was controlled by Europeans or the descendants of European settlers with the following exceptions:

Turkey, China, Japan, Ethiopia, Thailand and Antarctica.

It does give one a bit of a superiority complex.

[amnestynone]

we are privileged! It is called a few thousand years of social and cultural evolution where in skills, attitudes and values conducive towards building a modern society are attained. Being a victim at best is only a way to empower a another group, bu, a victim is never empowered by a victims consciousness and mindset. This is done to patronize and clientize others and turn them against the rest of us for political gain. That does not help the “oppressed” and it sure as hell does not help us.

I'm not sure what you mean. Here is the quote from the article that the other Freeper was questioning:

White people are quick to cite personal hardships instead of acknowledging that they are privileged because of their skin color.

The most reasonable interpretation of the quote from the article is that the author(s) believe that white privilege is a fact. White people who cite personal hardships simply don't acknowledge they are privileged. These white people are in denial.

Do you have a alternate interpretation?

"Pol Pot would love these "researchers" They sound like something straight out of The Killing Fields."

The "Killing Fields"....well, that comes in phase two.

What a load of garbanzo beans.
