For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.
White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because “every family has challenges,” even as black and Latino families with similar “challenges” are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.
White privilege is when you can call yourself a “******’ redneck,” like Bristol Palin’s boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll “kick their ******' ass,” and talk about how you like to “shoot ****” for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.
White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action.
White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don’t all piss on themselves with laughter...

“privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement,” .............................. Hmmmmmmmmmm ? where was this guy in 2000 when Al Gore was running? (Ever look into Mr. Gore the drop out?) Oh yeah, he was probably ranting about the 20 yr old DUI Bush had in college.
I’m privileged, all right. I get to work to support myself, my family, and every deadbeat and illegal alien in America.
His article was merely denigrating Sarah Palin and exalting Obambi. He left out a very important privilege that is relevant to the election. The privilege of having 90% of your race vote for you.
(DR)Michael Eric Dyson is one of the most notorious race baiting a$$hats in America... please don’t take his comments seriously... thankyou < /rantoff>
Is that better or worse than spending 6 years in a 2 year college like I did? lol
Great comment.
The goals of Mrs. Obama and her husband are quite clear based on her thesis, her “public allies” group, and so many more statements and actions both her and her husband have said and done.
It is crystal clear to me what all the diversity, PC, MC, and social engineering plans and goals really are.
Make no mistake that the Obama’s and the hard left have plans that have nothing to do with the history or the values that made America.
Thanks for the heads up.
Americans, face-it, you sanctimonious freepin White power elites, you owe REPARATIONS$$$ to Barack’s people, so shut up and vote!
I have seen the light shining upon Barack, and it’s so real! You stubborn biggoted holdouts, YES, YOU CAN, Support Barack, & here’s a 100% TRUE Testimony*******************************
Millions of nonracist people simply adore Barack and have come to get in your face and ROCK your VOTE, until you get it and give it up.
I just sold my home, remains of the stock portfolio, and the precious possessions and donated the proceeds to the Obama campaign. (They refused to take any of the kids or the dogs though, and I’m still trying to figure that one out.) It is the most patriotic thing to do to change all that’s wrong in America. Give to the Baracks-Government, it feels sssooo good., just like Mr. Bidens said it would. YES WE CAN! And it will ease your burdens and give you peace of mind.
I am now 90% guilt-free of the fact that 150 years ago, the USA had slavery. I can proudly stand up with Barack and yell,” I am not an
EVIL WhiteDEVILRacist,
because I am voting for the “ONE” that we have all been waiting for!” We have finally Overcome Slavery in 2008, at last, and changed the bad, bad country of America. YES, WE CAN!
Due to Barack’s stae of nearEbony, he can promise a honky like me a job (and pay me if I don’t work), YES, We Can! However, I truly want a job so I can be a more patriotic White-Cracker and start paying higher taxes. This’ll help to pay off all the money that I owe for REPARATIONS since by family immigrated in the 1930s. Anyway, reparations will erase the remaining 10% of my guilt and make me a bonified ‘citizen of the global world’, just like Barack! YES, WE CAN!
Another reason to vote for the One: Barack will cure my bad syphllitic leg through his Universal Healthcare plan. He will make all my cousins and their cousins- cousins legal citizens so they can have free medicine and vote, too (they are entitled.). YES, WE CAN!
Barack has given me Hope, Change, and more Hope. And I Hope you feel the same way as I do about the Change to a handsome man of color. (He is even more handsome than our
~Great Mayor of the Chocolate City,~ Ray Nagen.
Plus, he was a community organizer for the presigious ACORN organization. Barack might have organized some of the people onto all the empty school busses instead of leaving them down here to drown. So there you have it, he’s more handsome than our Great Mayor, a better ACORN organizer, and therefore deserves to be President.) YES, HE CAN!
Whether you are born white(shamefully), or Indian, Asian, Latino, or anything non-Black, you should be embarassed to have been born a racist-American. So, you must stand at the next local Barack rally and wave a fist (men only) or jump up and down while wiping a teary-eyed face (women) while chanting:
Vote Black, Vote Barack!...Vote Black, Vote Barack!....
{Note: HeadScarf-Alert: The above does not apply to the blessed followers of Mohammed. Muslims, we welcome your financial support from here and abroad. But please stay away from our rallies and out of the media until our One ascends to Rule America. (Rewards will flow to you later)}
(p.s. if you come to our rallies, leave your American flag pin at home, citizens of the world have pledged not to offend anyone with symbols of Yankee Imperialism and American Hegemony.) ( Plus: Free admission with every 10 signed absentee ballots) YES WE CAN!..YES WE CAN! and YES,.... HE, THE ONE, WILL RULE YOU!

Louisiana Unites for the Faux-ONE
The left’s power of the right consists of this: Whenever any of them publishes inflammatory nonsense, we react like startled sheep and get defensive, wasting precious energy. So *what* if the author’s a drug-addled idiot or has a rainbow sticker on his car? His problems are self evident. Let him stew in his own rancid juices.
True: They never answer a question. They go off into their talking points of pure propaganda.
Not a single person working for Osama Obama ever strays from the prepared propaganda.
Sadly, too many fools do not know the truth. Pick up a high school history book of American history. It is nothing like we know it.
“Tim Wise is among the most prominent anti-racist writers”
I can’t believe that anyone would say that this person is not a bigot.
My parents were bigots as were theirs, I worked to overcome that. When I read something like this I wonder why I bothered. I looked not only at the article but at the comments and I can’t believe that so many were in full agreement with it.
Yah, “white privilege”..........as opposed to liberal
privilege advanced by the MSM?
Barak is 1/2 black, so he’s black? Why isn’t he white, since he is 1/2 white and was raised by whites?
He’s like Steve Martin in The Jerk. (Father to the jerk: I can tell you one thing, son, don’t trust whitey. The Jerk: Yes, don’t trust Whitey. Got it)
I may not be able to support McCain, but I simply refuse to believe a Conservative could vote for Obama. Fritz Hagels perhaps, but not a solid Conservative. No way.
Good luck with that guilt thing. I think you’re kidding anyway.
Take care.
“...Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don’t all piss on themselves with laughter...”
Hey quit picking on Joe Biden!
For the first time in my adult life, I am (really) ashamed to be a cracker. I will now vote for His Majesty The Racial Overlord at least three times on November the 5th.
Another white boy just masking his own racism by projecting onto others.
Somehow Bush's Yale transcripts were leaked to the New Yorker for a hit piece on him in late 1999, to provide fodder for the Bush-is-stupid theme that the liberals have been pushing ever since. That Gore's college grades were also undistinguished (some better, some worse than any of GWB's) or that Kerry's overall GPA was a tad lower than Bush's never seemed to interest the media.
We know almost nothing about Barack's college career apart from the little he has chosen to reveal about it. Then he went to law school--why haven't we heard anything about the brilliant articles he must have written for the law review, to get elected president of the law review?
