David Ruenzel knew, better than most, about the white privilege that killed him.
As a writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center, one of this favorite topics was rooting out racism. And how white racism is permanent. White racism is everywhere. And white racism explains everything.
This mantra of the Critical Race Theory and the Southern Poverty Law Center applied to all white people because, even if they were not personally cracking the whips, or breaking the skulls, white people benefitted from a racist system that did all that — and a lot more.
Ruenzel was writing about white privilege for the Southern Poverty Law Center as far back as 1997 — long before it became the rage at college campuses, newsrooms, churches, high schools and even grade schools.
By the time of his death, Ruenzel had accumulated many of the trappings of the white privilege he exposed: The job. The home. The intact family. And most importantly in his case, white privilege endowed Ruenzel with an expectation of safety in the Oakland neighborhood where last week two black people are suspected of killing him.

I kid folks that everyone should be a redneck. That doesn’t depend on what color you are.
Protecting yourself is one of the basics of life for almost all animals, insects, reptiles, etc....everyone ....except some stupid white liberals.
Yeah, the issue has been corrupted by the left in the black community into rejecting Western culture as “white”.
They, the left, do this on purpose.
He decided to live among the Orcs, assuming they would never hurt him because “he was on their side”. Of course, Orcs seldom read articles on the SPLC website because, well, they’re Orcs.
Google “Aldric White” and “dollar store”, and you may be able to believe that it might not be photo-shopped.
At least capitalism will apply to the headstone and the family will buy it. “Here lies David Ruenzel, heroic martyr of the struggle against white privilege.” Or something like that.
How about redneck privilege. Anybody can have it because it comes from attitude. Fear God, honor the king. And don’t forget your daily quotient of yeehaws.

When a particular race has an average IQ of 85 (mentally retarded or dull normal) is it even realistic to think there might be a solution to the problems that plague that race? It’s like wishing turtles could fly; no matter how much you’d like them to, the turtle just isn’t equipped for flight.
“Lost irony” huh.
Excellent article.
The difficulty is in a different direction, that of morals.
And even blacks like the race-baiter Je$$e Jack$on know it, hence his off-guard statement about being glad to see a white person when he’s being followed down the street.
Well done!
Actually everyone DOES need extraneous hand holding, but it isn’t from earth. It is from the Lord.
Some of the crabs in the bucket figure out how to escape and you see what happens to them.
And when a black apologist for black crime is killed by black criminals it is still somehow whitey’s fault.
I can’t picture this moron in the afterlife still going “seeee?”
Western culture is historically white, but that doesn’t make it either exclusive or a bad thing. It beats what passes for “civilisation” in any majority-black-run polity. Exhibit A, South Africa, which, even handed a fully-functioning society (built by whites on the lines of most western societies), could not maintain it.
reminds me of the dialogue in Dirty Harry (1971)
Harry Callahan: You from around here?
Gonzales: Yeah, but I went to school at San Jose State.
Harry Callahan: You play ball?
Gonzales: Uh, no, I boxed. Light heavyweight.
Harry Callahan: Just what I need, it’s a college boy.
Gonzales: You haven’t found one thing you like about me?
Harry Callahan: Well, it’s early yet. Get your degree?
Gonzales: Sociology.
Harry Callahan: Sociology? Oh, you’ll go far. That’s if you live.
The “downer” doctrine of the fall of mankind is the only one that explains where we are while also explaining how we can recover.
