ETFO 'white privilege' workshop dangerous

If they say that I’m privileged to be born white, who am I, a mere YT, to disagree?

If getting a part-time job at 15, sticking it out through all of high school and passing, getting a Bachelor degree, spending 40 years working in and with the military, then retiring on money I put away and earned is privileged, then I am most certainly privileged.

I guess the unprivileged are those who opt to join gangs, drop out of school, rob and assault others, then expect (and get) free stuff that others pay for. Poor thugs - my heart goes out to them. Notice how there are so many laws that not only allow them into the workforce, but sometimes insist they be hired,; yet there are so many of them unemployed anyway? They make the choice over and over again and they think we're supposed to commiserate on how tough they have it.

Okay, so blacks were right. Racism hasn't died.

As if we didn't know this already. For blacks, it mostly has. For whites, boy it's just getting started..., yes I know, but it's going to get a lot worse folks.

She's kinda cute, without the writing on her face.

Nice hair.

Nice eyes, too.

She'd get jumped quick if she walked through the neighborhood I once lived in at the wrong time of night.

And the cops don't show.

(As if you could call them without your cell-phone or purse.)

But it's funny how nobody seems to hear, or care, or come, when you're being raped behind a bush on a bed of crack baggies and dirty heroin needles. And you know what, "white bitch," as my neighbors used to say?

That's Not Fair.

Minorities who conform to the most historically successful culture have the same success.

It IS a cultural privilege, but that culture is based on what works best in this world because it is based on a Law given by the Creator of this world.

Back in the late 80’s-mid 90’s, I assisted a former NFL player in his forming of an 8A Construction Company.
He was the CEO and I was ‘everything else’ at the start.
We got work and went and subbed it out. He eventually got a few crews going and I remained as his #2, earning a better than ‘decent’ wage and he ‘reaped the profits’ (No problem with me there..his money started Co etc)
He was Black, with a Mother and Father still living, had 7 siblings (6b 1s I think) ALL heavy into athletes all College grads (athletics) he went to a major college in OK, played a few years in NFL, hurt himself and ended up in his ‘home area’ and into the Construction Business.
I, on the other hand, came from a ‘broken family’, quit HS as a Senior, did 8 years in USN, and worked in the ‘trenches’ (granted middle to upper Mgt when I got involved with him).

Every time the ‘white privilege’ subject came up I would point out our ‘lifes journey’ and ask why his children were considered disadvantaged while mine were considered privileged, obviously by nothing more than the color of skin, not status etc etc etc.

That usually ended the conversation (I would more than likely walk away AFTER my reminding him my ‘life choice’ was my life choice and he did work for and earn his, I was referring (for the most part) to the generation that had been bred in 1965 or so by one LBJ.)
