[wideawake]

That is doubleplusgood duckspeak.

[Williams]

Down with all leftist racists!

[Jim Robinson]

Why don’t they just try a little harder to succeed?

[2ndDivisionVet]

I have an idea...

[JoeFromSidney]

Why don’t they just try a little harder to succeed?

But telling people anyone can make it if they work hard is RAAAAACISSSST!

[bray]

Wouldn’t Steal Whitey’s Money be more accurate?

Pray America is waking

[aces]

How about replace wite advantage, with whites work..jeeeez

[Farmer Dean]

Maybe they don’t have the tools(IQ and attitude) to succeed.

[hadaclueonce]

I guess they want to stir the poop pile.

It never works out well.

[AppyPappy]

It’s good to be white

[tnlibertarian]

Perhaps we should replace ‘privilege’ and ‘advantage’ with ‘achievement’.

[grania]

I can’t get beyond the title. What “white advantage” has there been throughout decades of affirmative action?

[Responsibility2nd]

It is.

White privilege - White advantage.

Call it what you will. White people rock!

[Uversabound]

racially loaded

Lock and load.

End of conversation.

I am white, or somewhat so, before I get out into the sun. I am 72 years old. I started working for money to buy things while I was still in grade school. I earned the money that paid for my college education. And, I have been working ever since, or at least until I retired 3 years ago. I have done hard physical labor and have put in horrendous hours for my pay.

While I am grateful to have had to opportunity to work and earn a living, I don't consider it to be 'white privilege or white advantage'. I consider it getting up in the morning, going to work or finding another job and doing it every day.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

How about “IQ advantage,” since the average IQ of Eric Holder’s people is 85.

[MrB]

It’s actually

Judeo-Christian, Western Cultural advantage.

IE, when you abide by the values of our culture, based on Christian values, you prosper,

reject those values, you flounder and fail.

We should meet claims of “White Privilege” and “White Advantage” with charges of Leftist Racism, which it is.

We should force the renaming of “political correctness” with the more accurate phrase “Leftist GroupThink.”

Were I a college student these days, I would be organizing student protests against ANY course or professor that taught or spoke of “white privilege,” demanding that such courses be shut down and the offending professors be fired.

I would be filing civil rights claims against the colleges that allow such courses to be taught.

“White Privilege” is a stereotypical inflammatory judgment that presumes to know what people are thinking or experiencing based purely on racist stereotypes.

I don’t understand why conservative students aren’t having a field day taking this on.

I would do everything in my power to make it very ... umm ... “politically incorrect” for anyone to make stereotypical statements about white people, and to spotlight the hypocrisy of those who engage in such disgusting, hostile rehtoric or behavior.

Does anyone think for one second that if any one “minority” was suddenly 75%+ of the population they would not exert some form of majority favoritism?
