Professor: You Still Have "White Privilege" Even if you "Survived a Nazi Concentration Camp"
Pundit Press ^ | 3/16/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/16/2015 9:34:49 AM PDT by rightistight

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.

What is “White Privilege”?

I am trying to figure that out myself, because if it exists then the many white trash trailer parks I drive by everyday shouldn’t exist...

It is a Liberal paradox wrapped in a conundrum dressed up in the flowerly language of implied intelligence....

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.

Leftists like to claim that, because they claim that you can't be racist if you have no power. My counter is that a guy with a weapon on some dark street has more power over your fate at that moment than the entire rest of society.

Tell this young white girl about blacks not being racist because they have no power.

Let’s make a deal. I will give up my “White privilege” in exchange for the combined net worth of oprah, Al and Jesse.

“The term WHITE PRIVILEGE is a racist term intended to belittle and marginalize the Caucasian race.”

It is actually designed to shut down any attempts by whites to dismantle the socialist framework which provides for every need of non-whites. The TEA (”Taxed Enough Already”) Party was tarred with the “racist” label by those who believe taxpayers (mainly white) should continue to provide for every material need of blacks; Obama’s lackeys claim “communist” is the new “N word” because any who oppose communism, in the twisted minds of hateful blacks, seeks to deprive blacks of basic necessities. Reparations are obviously already here, and phrases like “white privilege” are designed to permanently enshrine them as the law of the land without question or opposition.

The “black leadership’s” embrace of communism should signal to all that permanent dependence is a fact of life, and blacks seeking to break that mold will be marginalized/destroyed by said “leadership”.

White Privilege: The nonsensical assertion by certain people of color, that being Caucasian naturally makes someone superior, and that no other factor comes close to alleviating that advantage. An opinion formerly held by the KKK and NAZIs, this opinion is now predominately held by American black activists and white academics.

Not sure what it is, but if I've got it, it's not putting any stacks of money in my freezer.

Allegations of “White Privelege” are hate speech.

[ “White privilege” claims are the new anti-semitism.

Interesting. Thanks. ]

Don’t forget that a good chunk of anti-semitism is built upon sucess envy.

So you have a group of people called Jews who were outcasts in places like medevial europe, in order to survive they pushed their children to succeed generationa after generation until this “drive to survive” eventually became a cultural “drive to exceed in intellectual pursuits”. Because of this, many members of their culture ended up with jobs and businesses that were highly skilled, such as medicine, banking, and other high intellect jobs.

This then caused the other cultures around them to start whining like a bunch of little envy green liberal commies that any woes that they experianced were because of “the jews”, when in fact it was their own damn fault for not pushing their own kids harder to succeed.

The lesson to this whole hiostory lesson...

“White Culture” ie. “Western Culture” in general is NEXT and CURRENT TARGET on the list of culutral envy, then the Asian Work Ethic Culture (if not already), then any other group that DARE to push their children to succeed.

You see to the “IG-noble Savages” out there, sucess must be punished because their primitive communistic mind cannot grasp the concept of “when you punish success, you punish civilisation”!!!!!!

Communism is an Atavism and a DIRECT descendant of Primitvisdtic Envy!!!

Thall Shall not Covet should have been Commmandment Numero UNO!

F’ him.

I am so tired of these clowns being surprised when I don’t bow down to their position. I had relatives who walked much of the way from Vermont to Virginia to fight to free their ancestors.

Losing a limb and living through the horrors of three years of war was the price my family paid for their freedom (more or less.)

So, my bill is paid in full. Now, can I have the price of his limb back. I think the Union gave him something like $18 a month.

THIS COMMENT FOUND ON RATE MY TEACHER FROM 2009: POOR This teacher does make you feel awkward for being white. She wont allow us to question what she teaches. Our assignments dont ask for your oppinion, in fact she specifically says she doesn't wanna know what you think. She just wants regurgitation of the reading. Its interesting.. but not with this teacher

“It must suck to be a member of the most under-achieving ethnic group of all time.”

The worst part is that it is thrown in their faces by allegedly well-meaning liberals, who admonish the rest of us to have no expectations of blacks at all (to do so would be “old school”). Instead, they are to be given college seats, degrees, jobs, and promotions without regard to merit (the token-in-chief being a case in point: awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for nothing at all - except being part black). Obama’s handlers were supposedly furious at the time, because of what it said about race in general and Obama in particular.

My gut reaction to phoney, full of sh!t Whites like this one is "methinks she protests too much". In a way they can be compared to the Westboro Baptist Church, with their schtick over how we're going to hell because of our tolerance of homosexuality. Considering their intense hatred of gays, they sure obsess about them a lot don't they? As if they have a few skeletons in their own closets. According to reliable sources including members of his own family, Fred Phelps himself may have been a closet homosexual. I sense a similar attitude with those who cry "white privilege". Instead of facing up to their own personal bigotries, they need to project their sh!t on others. Guilt? A lack of character? Some holier-than-thou superiority complex? An incessant need to ingratiate themselves with "protected classes" to soothe their fragile egos? Once again, show me a progressive and I'll show you a real racist.

Take the white privileged race, remove them from our history, and what kind of a country would this one have become? (No TV,s, no washing machines, no electricity, probably no plumbing, no advanced medicine, just happy go lucky tribes?) But then again, there wouldn’t be a centralized government, hmmmmm?

Do you follow my reasoning?

What is the root of antisemitism? I assert that it’s envy. Due to their culture and traditions, Jews prosper. Outsiders see this prosperity, and, especially if they’re of a group that’s floundering, attribute it to something nefarious that the Jews are doing, and thereby can justify their hatred and envy.

Now, parallel that with the claim of “white privilege”.

Wow. Her parents must have been really hard-core racists.

My white parents taught me that no one is automatically superior to anyone else, and that any level of "superiority" (read: success) that might achieve would be based on how hard I was willing to work, and how I treated others.
