RAMOS: But many people expected you probably to do more on race relations, dealing with white privilege. Do you get angry with this?

POTUS: Well, you know, I —

RAMOS: Is it your responsibility?

POTUS: I think that if you look at the history of race in America, it’s usually not a single moment when suddenly everything gets solved. It’s a process...

Deporting Jorge would be a nice start.

White privilege -— a RESULT earned by hard work, education, obeying the law, being a good citizen of America, and helping others.

The blacks and browns should try it some time.

The idiotic concept of “White Privilege” seems to be gaining acceptance and is on its way to being commonly accepted. Very few seem willing to contest it.

I think flunking white college students too distraught about dead jumbo thugs to take exams would go a long way toward correcting their “white privilege”.

White Privilege certainly has become the latest buzzword, hasn’t it?

All part of the Year Six plan :)

These people should all shut up and go away. If whites have any “privilege,” it’s been EARNED.

“Mr. Obama, many children were disappointed that you did not discuss the very real issue of Santa raising the minimum wage he pays his elves.”

I mean, as long as we are asking him to address fantasies.

What about Liberal Privilege? You the elites who think it is their right to tell Minorities, Woman and others how to vote, what to own, where to send their kids to school and what is outrage?

Obama has to deal with his white privilege half. How’s he gonna do that? His daughters have way more privilege than whites. They have white blood in them. How’s he gonna deal with that?

I would really like to know what the F is white privilege. Is it the fact that I was bumped from a college admission because a black guy with a lower GPA and SAT score had to get in ahead of me, or is it when I was laid off because they couldn't lay off the black woman who had 1/10th the sales I had?

Which soul sucking, life killing, career ending bull crap constitutes my white privilege.

They cannot deal with the self denial and hard work needed to obtain priveleges, so they burn whitey's stuff and act foolishly in the streets.

I think it means "kill whitey".

Whitey is not amused.

The blacks and browns who try it get called race traitors and inauthentic.

In a country where whites are the majority of the population, and Asian immigrants often are more prosperous than whites despite no benefit from "white privilege," a mixed-race son of a non-citizen is supposed to use his office to wage war on the majority of the population?

Of course that is what Obama is doing, but Ramos is stupid to think that he can openly avow that he is doing it.

I think the correct response to "check your privilege" is: "Check your value proposition."

What's a value proposition? It's what you offer to other people in exchange for the stuff you need from them -- like food, shelter, iPhones, cars and every single other thing that people who work for a living provide you."

Instead of having to justify why I have whatever it is that I have, I think it's a great splash of cold water to throw at the accuser:

"Check your value proposition." -- What value are you giving to the world in exchange for the stuff you expect to be provided with?

If you don't have a value proposition, or you are indigent, and living off the charity of others, at least have the decency to be humble.

I'd love it if people started taking this approach to self-serving accusations of "white privilege."

Why doesn’t El Jorge ask the question of why Mexican’s have to flee Mexico for a decent living? Including himself!
