I'm trying to think of something that is worse than a self-loathing [fill-in-the-blank] but I really got nuthin'.
Let’s deal with the myth of white privilege: there is no such thing.
There. That was easy.
The article and this whole white privilege crapolla ignores the basic facts of life. My “privilege” comes from having been raised in an intact family by a mother who taught me self discipline and concern for others and a father who gave me a strong work ethic and encouraged rational thinking. Other than that, I was raised in a rough town with work in a mine waiting for me to get out of school.
In those days, a black with the same family experience as mine could not expect to go farther than a black neighborhood middle class. However, it seems many did just that. Today, a black from an intact family, having been taught well at home can go wherever his/her abilities take them. Condi Rice and Allen West are two of many examples. I think that is black privilege.
The Ferguson protesters have to first heal themselves. There is no other shortcut unless, of course, you want to be a gang banger or rap star.
One of the greatest threats to this nation is white fools, such as the author of this nonsensical article.
I am absolutely delighted that I’m white because both of my parents were white and they were really nice people.
I have mixed race grand children who are delighted that they are mixed race because their parent are delightful people too.
I am sooooo sick of race talk. There is so much of it it’s becoming like background noise that you don’t really hear.

I have been drained of any vestige of white guilt. The OJ Trial was probably the last straw.
Another LIbtard barforama.
No, are you serious Mr. O’Hehir? Because you don't even know what Grace is (in the Biblical sense) one cannot work their way to a “state of Grace” and the idea of
‘white privilege’ is both insulting, silly and wrong.
Wasn't there a survey or study that showed all job gains since 2000 went to immigrants, legal AND illegal, thereby depressing wages?? White liberals believe they gain favor with radicalized blacks by claiming white privilege exists. The problem is radicalized blacks don't respect them.
I sincerely doubt that there is any De Jure discrimination going on in the US today and if you asked the Civil Rights marchers of the 1960s about this achievement, I'm sure they'd be amazed and overjoyed! However, as is normal in the pattern of human societies, further goals appear when the old ones are accomplished. De Facto discrimination is a far slippier beast, ranging from explicit behavior and treatment to perception and feelings at the other end of the scale. We now have multiple government agencies, local to Federal, who have the ability to determine AND PUNISH behavior that they determine to fall in this area.
Yet, the goal, that never ending goal of complete equality of feelings, the complete absence of ever feeling offended, has not yet been reached. Now guilt (and reparations?) must be levied against the color of ones skin. Being white is to be considered as taking part in a formless miasma of too much privilege and must be guarded against by (what?) The problem with this attack is that there is no solution other than to get a terminal sun-tan? It is a feeling by others that no individual can assuage ... so my response is "STUFF IT!"
Who ya gonna git to pay da free chit? Y’all stupit! Tazez is fa white chumps. No whit chumps no free chit!!!
And you totally ignore or even encourage cultural destruction. The eradication of the West through massive immigration legal or otherwise. You can jump down that rabbit hole all you want but I ain't going with you.
Just more ivory tower thinking nonsense. Liberals are responsible for so much damage they have done to this country, they just need to be ridiculed, then shunned.

Beneath the fog of words is this poisonous thesis: it is moral to use force to take things away from white people.
I want to be the boot stomping on a liberal face forever. Thank you, Orwell, for that inspiration.
Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murders.
Incidentally, regarding your photo of the cute blonde with agitprop scrawled all over her face -- the 'privilege' there is that she's a young, attractive woman, not that she's white.
(Upon starting to sag, show wrinkles, or put on significant weight, all of the doors that open magically for this woman, tend to stop doing so. And then she will actually be *surprised*. White men of her age have to compete with others for all of their position: UNLESS they are leftist trust-fund babies and the like; in which case such privilege is only their due for having attended the *proper* left-wing university.)
Cheers!
After a few graphs I quit reading. How much guilt-ridden metrosexual wimp does it take to make the point? Just jump off a building or hang yourself already. Hand out $100 bills in the ‘hood. Whatever.
Stopped reading here: “white privilege does not mean that white people dont get to express our views on controversial racial topics, or that we have to defer to whatever a person of color may say. It does mean, however, that we have a responsibility to be alert to advantages we may possess..”
Advantages like working hard, caring for our families and protecting our communities from the gimmedat thugs? How awful of us.
Incidentally, wimp, when your pet black pampers decide to start beating, raping and killing white folk, you will be among the first white idiots to suffer. BTW, don’t expect an armed squad to come and rescue your worthless butt. Your role now will be to act as a canary in the liberal coal mine who will alert us to lock ‘n load, set up barriers and take control of the high ground.
Bye-bye, wimp.
