My name is Wayne Allyn Root. I'm an SOB (son of a butcher). I understand this "white privilege" controversy like no one person on Earth.
I've never had it. I've never even had a whiff of it. That's why I have no "white guilt." I have nothing to be guilty about. But I have met plenty of privileged white kids. You know what you call them? Liberal Democrats. More on that in a minute.
First, my background. My Jewish ancestors were far more likely to be slaves than to have one. My ancestors were persecuted, abused, robbed, enslaved and murdered by government -- just like Black Americans.
My Jewish grandparents got to America in the early 1900s -- long after slavery. They settled in New York City, not the South. If they ever met anyone from the Ku Klux Klan, it was only because they were being persecuted by white extremists -- just like Black Americans.
My father fought in World War II and faced sure death at Okinawa. Was that "white privilege"? He spent the rest of his life as a blue-collar butcher. He woke at 3 a.m. every day to drive to the meat market in the dark and freezing cold and buy the wholesale meat he'd sell at his shop. My father struggled his entire life as a working-class man and died with an estate of nothing (other than his home).
He worried every hour of every day how he'd pay his bills. No one gave him anything in his life -- let alone because he was white.
So, where was his "white privilege"? Can liberals please explain where all that hidden privilege was? Because my dad's story is the story of most middle-class white Americans. We are the "silent majority" that supports President Donald Trump. We've never caught a whiff of "white privilege."
My personal story is all about Black and white. I attended a rough urban high school on the Bronx borderline that was 90% Black. I was one of the few white kids out of 4,000 students. I was tortured 24/7 for being "the minority." I was beaten a hundred times. I was chased home from school, terrified, fearing for my life. My lunch money was stolen so often I stopped going to lunch. I knew better than to ever go to the school bathroom. That's where kids were terrorized and robbed. I was almost murdered by a thug with a machete. Is that what you call "white privilege"?
But, eventually, I learned to fight, knocked out a few bullies, became an athlete and won my classmates' respect. I graduated valedictorian and was accepted to my dream school, Columbia University.
That's where I first learned about "white privilege." As a matter of fact, almost every one of my classmates at Columbia University had it. They were almost all lucky-sperm-club, spoiled-brat, filthy-rich kids with rich, powerful fathers who opened every door for them, greased every wheel. They had everything handed to them on a silver platter, with no effort necessary.
Now that's white privilege.
Oh, and where did all these little spoiled brats with "white privilege" wind up? Today, my Ivy League classmates are mostly powerful politicians, lawyers and media figures.
So, "white privilege" is real. But it is only enjoyed by 1 percent of 1 percent of 1 percent of the country. And trust me, virtually every one of them is a liberal Democrat. Every classmate I ever met who was born rich was a liberal Democrat who hated Ronald Reagan, hated white people (even though they were all white), hated capitalism and hated America.
Today, they all hate President Trump.
So, yes, there is "white privilege." But it isn't me. Don't try to hang that guilt trip on me. I have no white guilt. This son of a butcher has earned every ounce of my success. That applies to 99 percent of the 63 million Trump voters. No one ever gave us anything. We don't owe anyone anything. "White privilege" exists. But we've never experienced it.
So, it's a free country. Everyone has free speech. March and protest for Black Lives Matter to your heart's content. Just do it peacefully. And understand that the tiny percentage of Americans who actually have "white privilege" are spoiled-brat, Ivy League-educated white liberals.
Whenever you meet a liberal lawyer, powerful Democratic politician or member of the media, there's your "white privilege." They're the ones you should be angry with. They're the ones you should be protesting.
So much for "white privilege."
Thank you. Excellent!
Screaming white privilege at people who have no privilege is using Sun Tsu’s age old technique of making one’s enemy choose not to fight.
You must ignore the ‘name calling’ and continue to fight everywhere you can. Those calling you ‘privileged’ because of your skin color are using it as a tool to keep you oppressed. Those calling you ‘racist’ are actually the most racist people on the planet and are using that name calling to keep you oppressed.

“Whenever you meet a liberal lawyer, powerful Democratic politician or member of the media, there’s your “white privilege.” They’re the ones you should be angry with.”
The author’s last line is the bottom line. Whatever the libs accuse us of is actually what they are guilty of themselves. Everything is backwards or upside down as well.
For example the new normal is trannying into a different sex. There is nothing normal at all about it. For example The Affordable Care Act. It’s not affordable and it’s not about care.
The author made some good points I can identify with. I have nothing to feel guilty over by being white as I was never privileged.
This ought to be printed up and left at campuses all over the country...
That’s a great article. And I believe most of us identify with W.A.R. White privilege ... pffft!!!
My niece is married to a black guy who’s a good husband, father, and provider. (We converted him to Trump. Yay!!) His family is dreadful and treats my niece like crap because she’s white, and even tell her that’s the reason. Sometimes she buys into their nonsense — maybe like Stockholm Syndrome or something.
One day we were talking and she told me, “I believe there IS white privilege”, and I went off on her like nobody’s business. She absolutely knows that we were raised in borderline poverty and worked our asses off to achieve the lifestyles we have now.
It’s amazing how “they” can just spew garbage and lies, and that intelligent people believe them!!
And they’re the ones who have you out protesting against white privilege, screaming “black lives matter”. It must suck to be a puppet.

So the black guy or girl driving up along side my Hyundai in a BMW, Mercedes or Porche is not privileged but I am. I will never buy into any of this bull sh## ever.
Many Jews from Eastern Europe at that time were fleeing the Russian pogroms.
The movie Fiddler on the Roof depicts these times at around 1905. In the end, their homes are burned out by the Russians, and they are forced to leave their village forever.

By the way I saw the video of that white girl screaming at the officer in the pic above. Would like to see a baton come across that mouth
Bttt.

This is my sentiment. I owe no one anything.
These two viciously angry white broads will suffer with no boyfriends the rest of their lives.
They willingly participated in making their own revenge porn, making sure that their outer ugliness reflects their inner ugliness.
That kind of ugliness is the product of white privilege.
“White privilege” is a racist term.
I think this chick practices these poses in front of a mirror.
I,their son,have no reason to be proud...or ashamed...to be white.And I am not.
Great Article,
Doesn’t go far enough.
I hope Bill Cunningham will talk about this article tonight with him. Wayne Allen Root is great...
leftists love of money (power/control and social engineering) is the root of all evil
