Professor of multicutural education at Westfield State University Robin DiAngelo has a message for white people living in the United States: it doesn't matter what hardships you've had to face, you still have white privilege.
In an interview published today, Professor DiAngelo talked about "white fragility," or how white people dismiss racial issues like "white privilege."
According to the interviewer, Sam Adler-Bell, a story about a Jewish person's struggle against Nazi tyranny "followed a familiar script" for Dr. DiAngelo: a white person is offended when someone says they still are privileged, even though they've faced hardships in their lives.
"It’s a frustrating dynamic that I encounter a lot. I don’t have a lot of patience for it," DiAngelo said.
...She then continues, "And white fragility also comes from a deep sense of entitlement. Think about it like this: from the time I opened my eyes, I have been told that as a white person, I am superior to people of color..."
"The arrogance of white people faced with questions of race is unbelievable," Dr. DiAngelo concludes.

Time to get out the blackface makeup. Cover your privilege.
but I don't mind because there is a great sense of accomplishment when one works hard....too bad so many of the inner city communities don't understand that....
with hard work comes pride and self esteem.....pride and self esteem don't just come from nothing...
Maybe especially if you’re Jewish, you have “white privilege”, due to what it REALLY means -
those who follow the Judeo-Christian value system tend to succeed,
while those who reject it tend to fail in life.
This is seen by those who fail as some sort of “privilege” or some other injustice.
It’s what led to the concentration camps in the first place. The Jews succeed due to their traditional value system, and this is easy to point out as them somehow taking advantage of those who are not succeeding.
“White privilege” claims are the new anti-semitism.
“White Privilege” is a mother and father who are married to one another, and a family that gives a d@mn.
Embrace your “White Privilege” with all your heart!
In other words, “No matter how poor you are, no matter how much you suffer, I am going to become enraged if you don’t agree 100% with me that you are privileged.”
This professor exhibits arrogance to the point of myopia, and a very dangerous myopia at that.
“...She then continues, “And white fragility also comes from a deep sense of entitlement. Think about it like this: from the time I opened my eyes, I have been told that as a white person, I am superior to people of color...”
“The arrogance of white people faced with questions of race is unbelievable,” Dr. DiAngelo concludes.”
Wow. Just wow. Because Ms. DiAngelo is a racist doesn’t give her the right to call the rest of us racists. Frankly, in 54 years growing up in both mixed neighborhoods as well as all white neighborhoods, no one has ever spoke about racial superiority.
To the contrary, that’s all liberals spoke about.
If the words 'White privilege' come out of your fly-infested pie hole, you are a confirmed, hideous, heinous racist who deserves nothing but pain.
I should engrave my Louisville Slugger with the words “Stupid Stick” and reserve its use for “multiculturalist” morons.
You still have “black privilege” even if you are half white and your black half came here to go to school for free and then went back to Africa after he knocked up your white mother.
Just ask Our Glorious Leader.
Racist idiot.
What about “Asian privilege”?
Why do a higher percentage of Asians get into MIT than whites?
Maybe it isn’t about skin color, maybe it is about cultural values. “White privilege” is coming from a culture that doesn’t have crap values.
My kids are starting to confront this sort of thing in school.
I choose to outflank the “educators” by telling my kids it’s just a marketing tactic (employing guilt) used by people to get them to think or behave a certain way.
No different than how McDonalds’ commercials are used to get them to buy hamburgers and chicken nuggets.
I can’t understate how effective that route is as a starting point to getting ahead of this nonsense.
There was a “Rev White” on Hannity the other day,
clinging to the claim that it’s not possible for black people to be racist.
Until that myth is dispelled, we have nothing to discuss as far as “race issues”.
So it is not 'society' (whatever that means) that has been communicating that message, rather it is her own family, ever since her birth? No wonder she's so screwed up.
Robin DiAngelo, let me get this straight - you have basically admitted that your family is full of virulent racists, and from that you have decided that all people with a light skin color are also virulent racists?
Why are you parroting the foolish "white privilege" mantra, which after all is simply a reformulation and reiteration by leftist idiots of the racist "white man's burden" trope?
Perhaps Robin DiAngelo does not understand that other racists like her (for example, Nazis and Nazi sympathizers) do not even consider Jews to be 'white persons'...
What is “White Privilege”?
What the heck is this person talking about?
Hilarious comments after the interview - guilty white people collapsing like paper angels and beating their chests ‘cause of their white privilege.
This country is so sunk.
