I'm trying to think of something that is worse than a self-loathing [fill-in-the-blank] but I really got nuthin'.
So that phrase now is connected to race and to white privilege????
Lost me right there....lol...
This left wing idiot should immediately surrender his job to a person of color or he is a racist.
I feel poorer for having read this article ...
This kind of white privilege is a willful blindness, along with a passionate embrace of exactly the kind of aggrievement and victimhood that white people often claim to resent in others.
Andrew O’Hehir is so dysfunctionally banal, that he is nothing more than a pseudo-sophisticate platitude monger.
Lets look atthis new animal from the race baiting jungle.
He needs to get in a room with five or six races and live with them all, use a common toilet, eat out of common dishes and do common chores in an isolated social unit for a year or two. Then he would realize that race means nothing really. We are all human beings. That includes white people.
I am proud of America and its culture, it was pretty much created by a motely crew racially, but the leaders who wrote our constitution were white, and so was there culture. I am proud of that. And if I make more money than the next man, its because I work damn hard for it, not because I am privileged.
Andrew O’Hehir is a liberal fascist, seeking to make Caucasian Americans feel guilty beause of their race.(OK all you white folks , lower your pants to below your asses and speak Ebonic!) That makes him a race baiter, like “Reverend” Jesse Jackson,”Reverend” Al Sharpton, “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright and others. Pay O’Hehir scant attention except to boot him in his white arse ocassionally as he deserves.The black ones can bend over for it to, they are cut from the same cloth as O’Hehir.
Equality is a communist myth, we all should be treated the same or elese we are “privileged”? Buahahahahahaha.! Human kindness among human beings is not a myth. O’Hehir seems to know little of it.
I don’t see white privilege. I do see black failure, and that failure of culture is rooted in a 70% illegitimacy rate and the habit of blaming bad results on others instead of themselves.
If a cop told me to get out of the road and I replied, “Fuck you, pig!”, my white privilege would put my white butt in jail. Blacks who believe otherwise have “black blindness”, and it is black blindness that damages their community, not white privilege.
There are certain things that you need to do in America to be successful that have nothing to do with race. Certain groups refuse to do them and blame their low circumstances on racism and “white privilege”. There are benefits to following the accepted rules of a culture and disadvantages to ignoring or violating them. Certain groups need to learn that.
The only privilege that I know of is an ethic of self-control and hard work. With a large dose of appreciation and gratitude.
LOL! I’m sorry, but the author is a complete putz.
I guess we’re just supposed to believe him when he says white privilege exists. It may be invisible to you and I, but it exists! Blacks commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime and receive far more welfare benefits than their numbers would otherwise indicate. The author completely discounts those facts.
Has this moron ever consider the possibility “white privilege” is invisible, undetectable, etc., because it does not, in fact, exist?
Guy’s too dumb to realize he’s a racist.
No matter how many times this argument is made, it is still ludicrous.
The ideology that assumes it is white privilege is something hatched out of the ivory towers of leftist university professors. The reason it gains such favor is that it shifts the focus away from the cultural context. It is a game where one demonizes one culture to elevate ones own culture. We see it in the Middle East where the Muslim culture demonizes the Western Israeli culture. It is the Top Dog against the Underdog. It a Cain vs Able. Telling it in any other way is turning a blind eye to history.
Well, Cap’n A, It would seem that you’re obsessed with the Great White. Thar she blows!
What they are calling “white privilege” is simply the confidence of being an adult and not needing to get approval or social acceptance. It’s got nothing to do with race, but adulthood. That so many people honestly believe that they need someone else’s “acceptance” in order to be themselves is simply a case of arrested development. It is appropriate in children and adolescents who are not mature enough to make life-changing decisions without guidance from their parents.
The whole idea is to make all adults insecure in their decision-making process to pretty much reduce us to serfs and peasants who must supplicate to our “betters” rather than make our own decisions.

Of course, that is what cultural marxism is all about. Serfdom. Don’t buy iit.
I would argue that the insistence on the existence of the Great White Whale Privilege is what makes inner-city black life so cheap. *Those* deaths of black men are, tragically, highly explicable.
Who knows? Maybe Taylor's ancestors were slaveholders.
...but I'm not above twisting The Word in order to advance my agenda.
BUT, if a white person were to suggest that there are inherent differences between a black person and a white person, then he would be derided.
