Hillary: White Privilege Like ‘Swimming In the Ocean’
Breitbart ^ | 1/11/2016

Posted on 01/12/2016 4:34:00 PM PST by Altura Ct.

Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton argued that she is privileged, and “it is hard, when you’re swimming in the ocean to know exactly what’s happening around you” when asked about white privilege at Iowa Brown and Black Forum broadcast on Fusion on Monday.

Hillary, in response to a question on what “white privilege” means to her, and whether she has benefited from it, said “it is hard, when you’re swimming in the ocean to know exactly what’s happening around you, so much as it is when you’re standing on the shore, perhaps watching.”

Hillary added that she went to good schools, and had a “strong, supportive families,” and “never really knew what was or wasn’t part of the privilege. I just knew that I was a lucky person.”

She further stated that she realized she was privileged when she was around 11-years-old, and she volunteered to babysit the children of migrant workers.

Finally something I can agree with Hillary on.

She should be in the ocean.

Swimming in the Ocean ain’t exactly safe. Likely to get eaten by a shark.

Hmmm...

Perhaps she is correct then.

Hillary probably stole a few dishes while she was there.

“White privilege” is reverse liberal psychology. It’s designed to make blacks/other minorities feel worthy and have an inflated self-esteem at whites who are groveling begging for forgiveness. In reality, it gives white leftists more power.

So having good parents is a privilege now? Good schools have to do with standards, that’s how Catholic and Parochial schools do more with less. Public schools waste money that should be spent on classrooms. Teachers would be paid more if administration wasn’t sucking all the money out of the classrooms but the unions won’t tell them that.

Gee Hill, it’s not hard swimming in the ocean
if you’re a frigging SHARK.

I will joyously watch with glee as she is torn
apart by her fellow predators, once the blood,
her blood is in the water.

More like swimming in a pool with a few candy bar shaped objects bobbing towards you.

Because I’m sure there were lots of migrant workers living
in her neighborhood in Chicago.

They could have been working in one the vast almond and raisin farms of Oak Park.

When you’re in the ocean, it’s better to be able to swim than not.

But people must learn to swim, and if they refuse, they drown.
