Marc Lamont Hill, the charismatic professor-type guy and pundit-type guy when it comes to race issues asked a question to conservative media guy, Christopher Rufo
“What do you like about being white?”
It’s a hard question to answer if you’re not obsessed with skin color or have not been marinating in race theory education for years.
Obviously the question is an entrée into a discussion in which the parameters have already been decided by Hill.
Hill wants him to play along so badly it’s sad. Hill even went first when he talked about things he liked about being black. He gave Rufo permission to play the race game and he kept the pressure on, though unsuccessfully.
At the end of the day, though, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone in real life talk about their whiteness. Long conversations about skin color are recreations for academics or activists while most everyone else is consumed with the daily grind of life.

My answer would be: “I’m a half-breed. What is YOUR answer to your question, sir?
I like knowing that I do not hate myself for being white as some black apparently hate themselves for their skin color. Seems stupid, but I guess the Bell Curve was accurate.
“What do you like about being white?”
We invented the modern society! We invented democracy! We invented flight, telecommunications, TV’s, refrigeration, air conditioning, cars, all major league sports dominated by blacks (yes you are welcome!) Whats not to like?
The superiority of it.
It’s what God gave me. I don’t question Gods reasons.
I will do that. I am white. I am male. I am American. I am Christian. I am superior. So are a hell of a lot other people.
Well, there you go again. Trying to be judged by the content of your character.
Nothing other than I was born with it. Never gave it much thought. Can’t change it anyway.
The question really should be what do you like about your culture. Cultures are defined by customs adopted by the inhabitants over generations within definitive borders. White is not a culture. Germans in Germany, Italians in Italy will immediately start defining the characteristics and customs unique to their culture and country. White is not one of those characteristics And, yes, Americans are a culture and I can describe what I like about my American culture which has nothing to do with the color of my skin. Unfortunately, there is a wide swatch of people here that cannot divorce themselves from their skin color in defining who they are.They are largely called Democrats
I like not having liberals assume that I am inferior and need govt assistance.
I like it when I go into a bank the trumpets sound overhead and cash flutters down like confetti. Also when I get a letter from the IRS that says hey, you don’t need to pay any taxes this year because you’re white. Happens all the time.
LOL. I'm female, 5' 3", brown-haired and brown-eyed. I never once asked Him why. It would be stupid, right? And these yahoos want people to justify what they look like.
Best part about being white is whenever I go in to get something and take it to the counter when there are just other white people in the store, the cashier throws up his/her hands and says “Just get out of here, take your item and go. Before a black person comes into the store in which case, I’m going to have to ask you to actually pay for it.”
been white my whole life. what would i compare it too.
i like being an American with god given rights
I think it’s great being part of the only race that has been able to dominate the world.
Next step - the observable universe!
I also thank God every night that I’m not a woman.
Is that you Mr. White?
