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.

Reminds me of the movie, "Grizzly Man."
Which begs the question, is an IQ of 85 sufficient to even understand morality. Can they even comprehend right and wrong?
The predominate skin color of adherents to a culture is incidental and not causal.
Like everyone is saying, Western culture doesn’t exclude people based on skin color,
it’s those of the skin color/tribe that are rejected the Western value system.
LOL....redneck privelege.
Yes, that’s a factor also. And that’s blacks in America. The general IQ for African blacks is lower.
IN 20/20 hindsight, once a large population had been sinned against by slavery, they did need help, but it was not so much worldly things as it was gospel. Democrats who could no longer enslave them, walled them off socially instead (hence Jim Crow and much 2nd Amendment infringement). Wrong, bad move. It would have been panned unmercifully by any of the bible writers, let alone God.
Yes, they can. Even the USSC requires 70 to excuse from some punishments.
Do not idolize your mind; it looks very much like you may be doing that.
American blacks are not, by a long shot, the only race or ethnicity in history to suffer enslavement, but they are the only ones who have been riding on its historical existence, for decades, as an excuse for not meeting the bar others are expected to meet.
Most Downs kids have a stronger sense of morality than a lot of geniuses that believe their intellect justifies them breaking a few rules in order to advance a greater good.
They were sinned against as a people; however the sinners are the same people they are psychologically enslaved to today. That is not a recipe for a cure.
Yes. The minority who make it out, might undermine the excuses and whining of the majority who don’t and/or can’t, and they can’t have that.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
When one understands that God wants certain things, it is not hard to trace out good reasons why for most of them.
Let’s talk about the issue of young blacks having a real problem with self control. Its like an inner animalistic-type sway takes them over in sudden bursts and they lose all self-control and do such violent crimes. Very few black leaders address this issue of accountability. Without proper training and rearing in self discipline these kids are indeed ‘feral’ products of their dysfunctional family and communities. The loud mouthed blind ‘leaders’ never address this except to stir up unrelated and inaccurate racial strife garbage.
You mind restating that?
The Jewish people have been even more sinned against, and for longer, but that hasn’t kept them from being a very successful people, in general. Of course, the Ashkenazi Jews have some of the highest IQs in the world, as a group. That makes a difference.
What is unclear about it?
The reason is that their culture forbade them to ignore God.
Please do not overestimate the role of high intelligence. It is a tool, and it may be better that it be less than that it be put to evil uses.
Alright, got it on the 5th reading.
God’s commands are for our own good.
Not to mention, the dysgenic reproduction occurring in the black community. And, as Chicago cops pointed out, the very real potential for inbreeding amongst the lowest common denominator, what with multiple and often unknown baby daddies.
