North Korea Proves Your White Male Privilege Is Not Universal

On the Revocation of White Privilege in North Korea

“That’s what the hell he gets. Good for him!” My mother had uttered those words in her typical matter-of-fact tone one morning as she watched the news. “He” was Michael Fay, an 18-year-old from Ohio who had confessed to vandalizing cars in Singapore, and was subsequently sentence to six lashes from a rattan cane. I was in sixth grade and all I could imagine was how horrible the pain would be. My mother was unmoved at the thought, remarking, “He earned that.”

I thought about my mother’s words a few days ago while watching video of 21-year-old Otto Warmbier, another man from Ohio who last week was convicted of subversion for stealing a propaganda banner in North Korea, and sentenced to 15 years hard labor. Just as in Fay’s case, I was shocked by the severity of the punishment. I’ve tried to imagine spending a decade and a half performing what the North Korean state deems hard labor and I can’t. But I’m not 11 anymore, and now, my mother’s callous reaction to Micahel Fay’s sentence is my reaction to another young white man who went to an Asian country and violated their laws, and learned that the shield his cis white male identity provides here in America is not teflon abroad.

High octane hate is the fuel of progressivism.

The hatred for white males shines through.

Another person who couldn’t get one in HS because the prettier girls were preferred.

The state of mind that would produce such a hateful article is hard to imagine. Does she understand that in North Korea, a profoundly racist society, she would have even less privilege than Warmbier? Everything she imagines about the United States is the reality over there.

Asian’s do not blacks especially American blacks. But in typical communist fashion North Korea would use racial strife to push communism. Blacks in the media are too dumb to get in the end whites in western culture are their best bet for freedom and economic success. Most other places like North Korea would deal with a problem like in South Side of Chicago in a special way. BLM wouldn’t be tolerated either.

These leftists are the vilest racist scum imaginable and they mean us all harm.

A dummy who probably beat a more qualified white student out of a place at a college in order for her to get her affirmative action degree in some ‘arts and humanity’ or ‘African culture’ degree.

I know...no matter what the clowns talk about its something bad against we whiteys, no matter the subject...

white men in America get to study in school then go to work....

I'm sure most white men would like a free ride thru life like these black "athletes" plus their inner city do-nutins...

But there is one fewer white man in the world tonight, so that’s a win, right La Sha?

2 years in prison, a savage beating, a coma and a death sentence—for tearing down a poster from a Marxist Dictator's Totalitarian Regime. That's apparently the "Progressive" concept of Justice—of "Law and Order".

I sincerely hope the People are taking a good look at where the serious, bona fide, murderous hate in America really comes from—the psychotic Left...

Black athletes typically work pretty hard to reach the place where they get the big paychecks.

But I have seen lots of affirmative action where black people get special privilege.

Michael Fay created a HUUUUGE uproar and vandalizing those cars was NOT the first time he’d done it.

He was the absolute EPITOME of priveleged, problem ex-pat adolescent.

The FAMOUS intervention against Michael Fay’s (more or less) SPANKING by the Prez of the US Bill Clinton made us look UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.

That story was allllll over Asia for maybe ONE MONTH.

Never has America looked so ridiculous over something sooooo small.

His case is TOTALLY different from the Nork victim guy, Otto, who simply swiped —in secret, HE thought— a silly poster as a momento.

NOTHING ALIKE AT ALL BETWEEN THESE TWO CASES.

Black athletes—and White ones—don't get a free ride. They work very hard to make a good living...

La Sha applaudes the death of an innocent young man because he was white. A progressive America will be unlivable.
