"One of the hallmarks of white privilege is the presumption of individuality given to each white person, so that their acts are never taken as indicative of a group."

Well,that explains why the thug shot an Asian and a Hispanic cop. White Privlege.

And of course, why Drudge today had a photo of white elite protesters being arrested by black cops.

Notice they only call him by his last name and ignore the “ Ismaaiyl Abdullah “ given by his mother and father.
Many reports of his “Southern” activities but he hasn’t been in Georgia in the past 2 years, reason being, he goes to jail when he hangs in Georgia.

I will notify the police as soon as I can find a stamp.

This is the same Angry Studies perfesser who had her her train ride into NYC ‘ruined’ by a white man who moved her bag so he could sit down on a crowded train.

Because ‘white privilege’, of course.

“The police want all the power, prestige and respect that come with being a police officer, but none of the responsibility. That responsibility entails keeping the peace, de-escalating conflict and valuing and protecting all lives. When the state gives you a gun and the right to use lethal force, you commit to being held to a higher standard. Our expectation as citizens is that the police will not callously execute members of the community with the same malicious disregard as this gunman did.”

There is a whole lot of stupid in that paragraph. I assume this wench is a professor in the Angry Studies Dept. Am i right?

Black America suffers from a self imposed racism — she ought to know that yes there ARE strong “bad Black identity” movements, that put anything currently white supremacist to shame.

That’s why the tension over whether these murders are the spearhead of a trend. We’ve been there, done that, seen it!

Or let her try to point out anything white that comes close to rap in attitude... point made.

Redneck rap would be about as oxymoronic as dry water.

The problem is, she’s partly right but not in the way she thinks she is. Libertarians could tell you a lot of horror stories.

Another point that she chooses to miss is that whites don’t celebrate our criminals as civil rights martyrs.

White privilege is a rehash of 60s Marxist crap.

While some point to the 1700s or 1800s, or DuBois’s White Supremacy, it’s Allen and then Dohrn who started using it. http://www.answers.com/topic/white-privilege

See:

I have another posting. I’ll have to find that article.

“White privilege, along with the critical race theory and post traumatic slave syndrome, are liberal false theories and ideologies designed to ignore the real reasons for failings in the inner city black community. Liberals and liberal academia cannot face, nor acknowledge, that the true reason for these failings lie in decades of Democrat liberal policies. They can’t acknowledge that government dependency, welfare, food stamps, and a host of other government programs that were supposed to help the black community, actually proved to have the opposite effect. They can’t acknowledge this because they were the architect of these policies.”

...many commentators began falsely equating the act of a deranged vigilante with the politics of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Falsely??? He is one of their success stories - someone who produced dead cops for them. Sharpton and Obama will dedicate shrine rooms to him.
