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.
"Its a frustrating dynamic that I encounter a lot. I dont 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....
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”.
Upon graduation, her students move on to careers in the restaurant industry, where they ask daily, “do you want fries with that?”
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.
“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.
This dope needs to immediately resign her position so that a black person can have it. What a hypocrite!!!
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.
