Until black culture changes, nothing will change.

cultural appropriation

You mean like when black men play basketball, a sport that was invented by a white physical education instructor for white players at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, MA back in 1891?

From Wikipedia: On December 21, 1891, James Naismith published rules for a new game using five basic ideas and thirteen rules.[3] That day, he asked his class to play a match in the Armory Street court: 9 versus 9, using a soccer ball and two peach baskets. Frank Mahan, one of his students, wasn’t so happy. He just said: "Harrumph. Another new game".[4] However, Naismith was the inventor of the new game. Someone proposed to call it "Naismith Game", but he suggested "We have a ball and a basket: why don’t we call it basketball?"[5] The eighteen players were John G. Thompson, Eugene S. Libby, Edwin P. Ruggles, William R. Chase, T. Duncan Patton, Frank Mahan, Finlay G. MacDonald, William H. Davis and Lyman Archibald, who defeated George Weller, Wilbert Carey, Ernest Hildner, Raymond Kaighn, Genzabaro Ishikawa, Benjamin S. French, Franklin Barnes, George Day and Henry Gelan 1–0.[6] The goal was scored by Chase.[7] There were other differences between Naismith’s first idea and the game played today. The peach baskets were closed, and balls had to be retrieved manually, until a small hole was put in the bottom of the peach basket to poke the ball out using a stick. Only in 1906 were metal hoops, nets and backboards introduced. Moreover, earlier the soccer ball was replaced by a Spalding ball, similar to the one used today.[8][9]

In other words she will be tens of thousands in debt and unemployed.

Not "Social" & Not "Just"

What one society considers "just," another considers tyranny. People who use the term--most of whom are compulsion driven Leftists--should be queried as to just what they mean, and why that appeals to them. Anyone who apologizes for past achievements should also be queried as to exactly why!

Almost every time a white police officer kills a black for whatever reason the alleged civil rights folks have a demonstration for no justice no peace. When a white police officer, like the one in Ft. Worth, is killed by a black perp do the same alleged civil rights folks go into the black communities and plead with folks to speak out against such violence? No, all you her from them is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

No, she’ll become a “professor” at some worthless “university”, or get a phoney baloney government job.

Any private sector company who hires someone like her deserves the racist and legal hell she will put them through.

“White privilege is a phrase that can be heard in many conversations surrounding social justice issues across the country”

It’s the only time i hear the phrase.
Not sure i ever heard until very recent years (internet)?

White Privilege is real in that it describes a more prosperous population.It comes from a positive attitude toward education and from the concept of working for a living in order to make one’s life better and make life better for one’s progeny. Those concepts seem restricted to European derived peoples and to Asians, that is East Asians and those Indic Asians who migrate to America. White Privilege describes attitudes and hard work. Many White people believe, due to the indoctrination received in our entire school system, that it is unfair and wrong that hard work should make such a difference. People who don’t work shouldn’t thereby lose their fair share of society’s goods. Many simply do not understand the connection between work and reward. Wealth exists independent of work. It is just some bank of things and money that should be shared out equally. Working and getting more from that unchanging stash of Wealth is unfair and should not be allowed.

Black culture cannot change so long as government pays for it.
