We need to recognize our privilege and practice humility...


Translation: vote Democratic, pay your taxes and STFU.

My ancestors had more sense. They fought for the South.

The privilege I suffer from is that we built this country and it is fine the way it was. FU Hillary and other libs.

I'm the kind of guy that takes this $hit on. A few months back while I was in Atlanta, I had dinner with a good friend that I worked with for several years.

When the waiter brought the check, I said "I'm going to exert my white privilege and pick up the tab." The waiter hesitated, then my friend laughed out loud.

You can imagine the fun we had with Rachel Jauntel's characterization of "Kreepy Azz Kracka"...lol.

In Logic, the "white privilege" accusation is what's known as the "Fallacy of Unfalsifiability." Once the charge is leveled, if you deny it, the accuser can simply state that your denial is evidence that you don't recognize you have it, and therefore are guilty. Obviously, if you respond by admitting you have it, you are admitting your guilt. Deny: guilty. Admit: guilty. No way you can win.

So the response is not to respond at all, or to level an equally unfalsifiable charge against the accuser. "You, sir, are a bigot. The very fact that you would charge me with a privilege associated with my skin color makes you guilty. And the only way you can justify it is by assuming that your skin color gives you privileges I don't have, which is itself proof of the charge."

Better yet, accuse them of something utterly ludicrous. "You only say that because you are a space alien. And space aliens don't understand that they're space aliens so they always deny it."

Your charge is no more absurd than theirs.

My, but Hillary has a grovelly voice. Small wonder she chokes on her words.

As a teenager, Hillary found her purpose: “helping” Chicago’s poorest, most pathetic blacks live their lives by imposing her version of white values. “White privilege” is real and its name is condescension. Sorry Bill and Huma — feeling superior to others, including you, is what makes Hillary purr.

“Admittedly, the first few moments are difficult to stomach...as it begins to sound like a promotion for - what Professor Fiamenco later identifies as “3rd wave feminism” construct.”

These elocutions are interesting to me; but only in the fact that I view them as clear roadmaps and battle plans that are being implemented by the minions of our supreme enemy, Satan. My bedrock Book of All Knowledge has prepared me for all of this but it doesn’t make it any less appalling at the power of our arch enemy to influence and lead astray those who aren’t grounded in truth.

How artfully this has been done by supposed great minds! And how amazing that it was foretold in an ancient book thousands of years old.

Here’s the ‘privilege’... We’re not criminals.

“Among men, blacks (28.5%) are about twice as likely as Hispanics (16.0%) and 6 times more likely than whites (4.4%) to be admitted to prison during their life.”

What about that Clinton Foundation that’s supposed to be rebuilding and helping Haiti?

If you’d exerted black privilege you wouldn’t have left a tip.

Who started this “white privilege” nonsense ?

I never heard the term until the past year or so.

#blacklivesmatter. It was around a little before that, but I only have heard it in the last 3 years or so.

Pasty, ugly white liberals, predominantly lawyers and academics harboring immense personal guilt.

I had the privilege of growing up in a two parent, married before children, household. My parents valued education, hard work, living within your means, church and charity. All my working life I have faced affirmative action, quotas, and entitlements, by statutes and policies.

Within the various ethnic groups (black, Hispanic, etc.) there are those more and less privileged. Within those groups there are the elite and the underclass. Within those groups the elite can be ugly to their underclass, uglier than typical Americans are to each other.

White American elites can be ugly to the white underclass.

To me, “white privilege” is one of numerous privileges one group has or is allege to have over another.
