Y’all squandered your white privileges.
In this Marxist administration, people like you don’t exist.
Great story! Inspiring and refreshing! Thanks
In short, your parents raised you right and never told you that you were a victim.
When I told my grandmother years ago as a teenager that I wished to be rich, she said “This is America, what’s stopping you?”.
Multiply times 100,000’s for the nation.
Asian immigrants often embrace the American Dream. They come here unable to speak the language and unfamiliar with our culture, but they work very hard. Their children become educated and financially successful.
“White Privilege” is another lie being promoted by the left in order to excuse their lack of success and to make them feel better about their miserable lives.
Too bad they have to find comfort through pulling others down. America needs to start celebrating achievers again. We have spent way too much time protecting, promoting and excusing losers, and the dysfunctional.
My ‘White Privilege’ consists of ‘no one to blame but myself’...
February 2002
At a Senate Budget Committee hearing last week, Sen. Robert Byrd, who was named after a bridge in West Virginia, viciously attacked Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill for having made a success of himself. Claiming to speak for worthless layabouts, Byrd snippily informed O’Neill: “They’re not CEOs of multibillion-dollar corporations. ... In time of need, they come to us, the people come to us.”
“I haven’t walked in any corporate boardrooms. I haven’t had to turn any millions of dollars into trust accounts. I wish I had those millions of dollars.”
An astonished O’Neill responded to the harangue: “I started my life in a house without water or electricity. So I don’t cede to you the high moral ground of not knowing what life is like in a ditch.” And then the hearing spun totally out of control as Senator Byrd redoubled his own sob story: “Well, Mr. Secretary, I lived in a house without electricity, too, no running water, no telephone, a little wooden outhouse.”
You’re right. this story is the majority. The liberal media focus on a very small percentage.
Very Very few people in this country have race issues, black or white.
In the majority of the country... away from Jesse and Al... most Americans of all colors live and work together... wave at each other on the porch... smile and nod ‘hello’ in the grocery store.
Its the very small percentage that Jesse and Al scream about. They have to keep racism alive to keep their cashcow alive. And the liberal media lap it up and broadcast it like its a nationwide epidemic. Good for ratings, dontchaknow.
I had the similar “white privilege” advantages, but I did have parents (note the plural form of the word parent.)
“White privilege” is the observation by those who refuse to follow Western/Judeo-Christian ethics and fail
of the propensity of those who do follow those ethics to prosper.
What’s interesting to me .. all these people crying “white privilege” .. have no clue they live on “The Privileged Planet”.
Anybody who watches that DVD can come away with an awe-inspiring picture of just how “privileged” all humans are to live on this planet, EARTH.
So, in that context, ALL HUMANS ON THE EARTH - ARE PRIVILEGED.
White Privilege is a pejorative designed to perpetuate the cycle of racism for a new generation.
It is the creation of black caucaphobic leftists and their self-hating white enablers, and I will have none of it.
These days, I answer every accusation of racism by totalitarian leftist by accusing them of indulging in caucaphobia.
I hope that word catches on. It’s long overdue.
Lol. Aren’t we lucky?
Read the book, it’s even better...
There’s another dvd coming out - Privileged Species.
Sounds good.
caucaphobia?
How do you pronounce that?
And wouldn’t that lead to some.... confusion?
As a parent...the real key I think is making sure my kids know that only hard work and perseverance overcomes. Allowing yourself to think your a victim of....xy or z only leads to victimhood. My oldest daughter was complaint of affirmative action. I explained that, even though the policy is wrong and leads to dubious results, her job is to persevere go to college, get a job or start a business...or stay home and raise a family. There is no time to be a victim.
Don’t like the policy? Work to change it.
True words. Unfortunately, the great unwashed believe that which the gubmint and drive by media tell them. Big mistake. Shame on anyone who believe the experts.
