And once the “minorities” catch up to the white levels or surpasses them I bet that word (privilege) evaporates into thin air. I wonder if you stripped all races down to the same financial level and sepated them into 3 different equal cities what the end result would be in 5 years. To carry that experiment even farther I wonder what would happen if you took and displaced an affluent sector and put them into poverty ridden sector and vice versa, all finances remaining the same what the outcome would be within 5 years. Its a valid question since the left constantly whines about “white privilege”.

When presented with evidence that white people are more likely to receive scholarships than people of color, one white student says, “Okay, now I feel like the victim here … I feel like you guys are attacking me now.”

Well, there are roughly six times as many white people as Black people. I guess that means that, all else being equal, white people should get six times as many scholarships...

But, not so fast.

Where are the scholarship awarding entities which award scholarships only to white people, like the blacks have. Where is the White People College Fund? Does the NAAWP give scholarships or grants?

Someone isn't presenting things fairly, and using their bias to blame whites. Enough.

I’m thinking that the Soviet Union already tried that. They absorbed many nations and cultures and moved Russians into each country and it all flopped.

White privilege in many cases is just the better reputation white people have based on their previous behavior.

That’s for real and is for sale right now. Plus, unlike the Tesla, it has a 3 cylinder turbocharged engine as well as electric motors, so you won’t get stranded when the batteries give out. It’s called the BMW i8.

What liberals are quite unable to understand is that all the unfortunate minorities are where they are due to their own efforts. In short, white people are not responsible for minority failure. Minorities have proven they are quite capable of failing without any help from Evil Whitey.

Once again some poorly educated lib fails to understand human nature. It's interesting, many of the comments I read were very critical of this person's uh "logic." And this is a very liberal magazine Maybe people are waking up.

I’m still waiting for my life on easy street. I work my butt off 60-70 hours a week at my own business, get nothing but bills from the government, and clowns like this broad (snicker) telling me what a horrible person I am for simply having low melanin content and testicles.

WELL FINE. Give me my privilege. I’ll take all I can get.

Liberals are indefatigable in their belief in Evil Whitey, the big, bad, white boogeyman who is responsible for all black failure.

Nothing, no facts, no evidence, no absence of Evil Whitey close to many blacks causes white liberals to give up their cherished belief that Evil Whitey holds all blacks down fifty years after the passage of '65 Civil Rights Bill.

Visiting a number of extreme right-wing websites (Takis' Mag) you will discover many of its members convinced that Jews are not white. I guess then anybody from a Mediterranean country is not white. That would also leave out Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, certain Slavs (like me), and some other ethnicities.

Some of these people don't even consider Poles, Czechs, and other eastern Europeans as white. Which is why I personally don't like to get caught up in ridiculous arguments about who is white and who is not. I guess I'm "white," but what do I know?

My wife, who grew up in England, recently discovered she has a black ancestor going back maybe five hundred years. If you look at my wife, you would not say she was anything but white. But again, what do I know? I'm just some untermensch.(snicker)

Better a sea urchin than a street urchin.

Keep repeating to yourself: "There is no such thing as white privilege."

If your last name is Bush or Kennedy, yes, you come from White Privilege.
