Like the circular argument of being asked if you’re an alcoholic (or insert other vice/habit here) and responding in the negative and then being told “denial is a symptom, see, you really are”...

My observation on:

pretty much have to be Lilly-white to get regular writing gig at Salon.

Very few non-lilly-whites can write a decent sentence in English.

From someone who also has been subject to reverse-discrimination!

As has been said:

“Jackson and Sharpton are the Coke and Pepsi of ‘the race baiting industry’ and the author of this article is only the club soda, but eats at the same table. .....nothing written worth writing home about.

A friend of mine used to get SWEDISH PRIVILEGE years ago from a Swedish owned ice cream shop. When the soda jerk passed out ice cream to the kids he gave my friend a larger scoop because my friend looked Swedish. He wasn’t.

>> Who, other than atheists and other heathens, have a problem with St. Paul?

Homosexuals and homosexual symps. (Modern “culture” being what it is, that includes essentially all of the American and European left. Certainly the entire DemocRat party.)

They’d just as soon that certain whole chapters of Paul’s writings be torn out of their bibles. Romans 1, among others.

>> Protestants.

That’s self-absorbed papist nonsense.

I’m a Protestant... I love the writings of Paul and I have no problem with any of them.

“Both scenarios come up against the nettlesome fact that African-Americans stubbornly persist in being poor, living in disadvantaged circumstances, getting shot by the police for no particular reason and going to prison in large numbers.”

A liberal always SEES that government has been a failure, but never UNDERSTANDS that government has been a failure.

I think white craveness, and white gullibility are far worse problems. I wish to hell white Americans would collectively give the middle finger to this latest active measure of our miserable rat bastard left, but I won't hold my breath.

Yes, I myself benefit from white privilege all the time.

I was conscious of my privilege the other day, when I left the grocery store and passed a car all bassed out with the crap music blacks listen to, loud enough to make ears bleed, with a young black woman standing next to the car yelling “MF-er” every few words. They can act like that in polite society, yet I’m privileged.

Then there was the time a black woman’s kid slammed my car with the door of her pink spray-painted vehicle. Upon bringing it to her attention, her response was, “You ain’t nothing but a white b*tch.” How privileged I am that she felt so free to openly snarl her contempt for my race, and walk away from her responsibility.

Or, there were the times I’ve been harassed by black men...I guess they like my curly hair. Turning down the overtures would often garner belligerent responses such as, “What’s the matter? Don’t you like the black meat?”

The white store owners in Ferguson share my sense of privilege, I’m sure. The cops looked the other way while they lost everything they worked for to marauding ferals who got away with it because of skin color.

I’m sick of this crap. To black folks: you’re still angry about slavery? Too bad. I don’t give a damn.

And as for that gelded she-male author up there, he’s the most pathetic and laughable of all. He thinks he’s down with the brothas, he’s one of the “good” whites. Stick him in the middle of a Ferguson riot and see how much they’d appreciate him.

Here's how libs cook up "white privilege." They simply look at disparate outcomes and conclude (falsely) that whites cheated to get where they are. Like Jared Diamond and his unintentionally, hilarious book "Guns, Germs, And Steel" they conclude that whites had noting to do with their success in the world. It was all geography and luck.

That mysterious thing called "white privilege" allowed whites to succeed while non-whites who didn't have that "white privilege" were cheated out of their just desserts. The fact that whites on average do far better in school, on average do not get pregnant at a young age like non-whites, and stay out of trouble with the law far better than non-whites seems not to occur to the libs who cook up their goofy theories.
