Should I check my God-given rights at the same time?

I have the right to bear arms, but linerals think it should be a governemnt handed privilege until you retire and then you are back to being a serf awaiting your death panel date.

Anyone who uses the phrase “check your privilege” against another first needs to have their own privileges checked.

1) You are speaking freely. If you had earned that right you would not question it in others. As such, using an unearned right, you are a spoiled brat. Check your privilege and listen before you speak.

2) You are speaking to someone you think is privileged. If you truly believe this, then you should keep a humble and courteous tongue in your mouth, lest those you deem to be superior to you remind you of your inferiority.

3) Since you believe yourself to be inferior, the proof of this is not even speaking until you are spoken to.

Clearly, he is unrepentant, and this proves the need for reeducation camps established by FEMA, security by Homeland and reeducation provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

FWIW, Jewish students are 13% of Princeton. That’s by far the lowest in the Ivy League and the school has a goal of getting it back up to 20%.

No problem with that, until you realize Jews are only 2% of the population.

I doubt I have any disagreement with this student or his no doubt well-earned presence at Princeton.

I have a lot of problems with his ethnic/religious compatriots who have led the fight to have “white people” limited to no more than their percentage of the population (actually much less) at elite colleges, while allowing, indeed encouraging, Jews to exceed their percentage by 10x or 15x.

When asked the question, respond by saying you have no privilege to check. What you have you have by right.

At once..when I was pondering the same questions, I asked a learned elder, "What should I say to convince these people that I mean them no harm?" The reply; "If your love wasn't enough, will your words really matter?"

The poor fellow (author)...spent way too much time trying to get someone to understand, when they really do not want to understand and never will.

Engaging the willfully intolerant with all this "talk" is a waste of creative talent. Intellectual pretzel gymnastics and self mental torture would be more productive. You live..you learn.

The fact that the brilliant Jewish male author of this essay put it out over the Internet under the name "Anonymous" (not even using a pen name) probably reflects the stifling atmosphere of political correctness on the Princeton campus, which he is criticizing.

Wonder what kind of grade he'd get on this if he turned it in as part of his course work in say, an English writing or a sociology class.

Former Prof. Richard Falk, now of UN infamy for his anti-Israel stances, was a longtime law professor at Princeton, along with other far-leftists and communists (the other old Communist Party USA clique of law professors was at Rutgers, led by Arthur Kinoy, a veteran Stalinist who worked on the faux Rosenbergs appeal.

Falk’s poison is apparent in this “Privilege” assault on white students as his anti-American, marxist hatred legacy is deep and long.

I’m glad that a Jewish student has stood up to Princeton’s self-imposed “quota” and anti-white attacks. Like the writer, I’m from a Holocaust devastated family and know what both “quotas” are as well as “German privilege” policies.

We know when the anti-semitic, now also anti-white/Christian, mobs are inside the gates, this time in academia. Our “canary in the mine” antennae were up decades ago and now they are permanently up, be it at any California university, Brandeis, Princeton, CUNY, NYU, Wayne State, Florida State, Northwestern Un., Un. of Illinois, Chicago, or at DePaul.

The convergence of the white marxists, black extremists, Hispanic irredentists, and Arab/Moslem jihadists/sharia uber alles folks, is the penultimate poisoning force of the mind on any campus. The ultimate shame is that too many professors have joined in this “hate group”, including many self-hating Jewish profs who should have learned something in European History, if no place else.

The liberals of the 60’s have poisoned the well of education and many of them are on campus as teachers to make sure that new supplies of mental poison are added on a continuing basis.

If the alumni don’t fight back now, kiss the major universities good by.

My grandparents fled oppression of Jews in Eastern Europe, and were not victimized by the Holocaust. My grandfather insisted that my mother and my aunt go to college in the 1940’s. My father worked for 55 years, since he was fifteen, in a factory from 7AM to 5PM, and then worked evenings and weekends in his coin business. My mother went to work teaching school, and my father sold part of his coin collection so that my brother and I could go to college. I finished college and passed the CPA exam, and then started my own accounting office, working sometimes fifteen hours a day.

I’m privileged. I am very, very privileged.
