Black Privilege By Robin of Berkeley

One of my friends voluntarily attended an event recently, one that I wouldn't go to for a million bucks (well, maybe a million bucks). It was called Erasing White Privilege.

But in Obama's America, there's little human decency to be found. The rules have changed, and they consist of the new three Rs: rage, revenge, and reparations.

That is true. There is a very ugly feel out there right now. This creature in the WH has done more to divide people and set them against each other than I ever would have thought possible.

But that's the Marxist MO.

Glad to see Robin back. I like her columns and she nailed this one.

[Library Lady]

I don’t know Robin of Berkeley, but I’m sure I would like her.

Denying Black Failure would be a better description of this sort of event. When 70% of black kids are born out-of-wedlock, no amount of government programs can make up for that self-imposed disadvantage.

Stories like this harden the resolve of many non-blacks to vote for any candidate who will help abort as many black children as possible; that is how white America is dealing white “black privilege”. Their place “at the table” has been given to Hispanics, who are displacing them in every segment of our society.

No, “our” third mistake was LBJ’s “Great Society”.

I did enjoy the article but it is one of those that are hard to end.

We crackers all know that it will not end so benignly by just "walking away from the table."

No, as F. A. Hayek told us in "The Road to Serfdom", we are on the inexorable path to tyranny, a race-based fascism reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Exactly. In essence they demand failure and mediocrity at all levels of society so they might appear competent. Its the liberal way. Look at Africa for the results.

Fred Reed says it better.

My sister, now passed on, and I were very familiar with the experiences that Robin of Berkley has had in her early years. We encountered these situations and conduct more in or youth in Ohio and that was fifty (50) years ago.

My experience was, and has been, that I was very seldom confronted by one or two persons, but rather, only when more than that number were in groups (mobs). Nothing has actually changed in time other than they are now being embolden through actions this administration, law enforcement and MSM by giving them cover and immunity from prosecution.

This will get very ugly before it gets better!

[SMARTY]

Yup.

Another thing that minorities in America need to comprehend is that this is, first and foremost, a Capitalist society.

MEANING: Whatever color you are, you will be accepted and compensated if you can do the job as well or (preferably) better than the next guy!!

Don't believe it? Next time you go to a hospital, look around. At work, look around? In the Engineering, Chemistry, Mathematics department, etc., of ANY university... look around. Capitalist America rewards and promotes anyone and everyone who can achieve, excel and demonstrate ability. It's what we are about!

If SOME minorities in America refuse to recognize THAT, then their charge of ‘racism’ in America is moot. Period!

If (in spite of all this) SOME minorities in America STILL feel left behind, I say: ‘Where the he(& have you been and what were you doing for the past 30+ years while affirmative action policies assured that opportunites were handed out like popcorn to ALL minorities in this country??'

Robin of Berkeley is a former liberal. A self-described recovering liberal. If you want to get to know her, robinofberkeley.com

Personally, I have never had a moment of white guilt in my life. Now this is a significant statement given that I am Jewish and from New York. I feel guilty about pretty much everything!

That reminds me of a book I found once at (of course) a Jewish person's house, called "How to be a Jewish Mother." One of the tips in the book was for the aspiring Jewish mother to buy her son two shirts for his birthday. The first time he wears one, she is to put a hurt look on her face and say, "What? You didn't like the other one?"

Collective guilt is a notion that is so laser-focused on race, it is actually racist.

The whole foundation of collective guilt is racism. Why on earth should I feel guilty because my ancestors over a hundred years ago owned slaves? Did I somehow influence them to own slaves? Did I have any control over the situation? No. So I have no reason to feel guilty.

[Old Badger]

They pi$$ed away their opportunities, big time! My guess is that close to a trillion dollars has been spent trying to bring them up to speed to no avail.

Instead, they preach to not be like whitey and hate whitey. Does that have a familiar ring to it? What do the Palestinians preach to their children? Hate the Jews! And to where has this indoctrination led? Wholesale attempts to slaughter Jews and this is exactly what's going to happen if that mindset of the US minorities isn't changed.

I do have hope though when you see men of character such as Allen West come forth and take leadership positions. :O)

[Molon Labbie]

Any vestige of so called “white guilt” was driven out of me a long time ago...

The POEC (Perpetually Offended Entitlement Class) would do well that white guilt is fast being replaced with “other” less forgiving emotions..

[Girlene]

From the article, ..........."My friend, whom I'll call Andrea, sat in a room with other whites on one side, and people of color on the other. Then the whites sheepishly confessed any real or imagined offenses perpetuated against a person of color.

After the whites tried to atone for their guilt, the people of color got involved: yelling at them, preaching, and discharging much rage. ".....................

OH MY GOODNESS and LOLOLOL.....who thinks up (or participates in) crap like this? LOSERS!

It was called "Erasing White Privilege"? It should be called "Erasing Your Dignity". This is simply Sadomasochism.

[Herbster]

Good article on the white guilt party. I couldn’t imagine sitting in that room without forfeiting my last digesting meal.
