"White Privilege" a Myth
Canada Free Press ^ | 07/09/17 | Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

Posted on 07/09/2017 10:58:50 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

"White privilege" is a spurious construct invented by progressive academics who love to divide and categorize people into groups I was pondering the other day, how I came to be the lottery winner of “white privilege.” God made me in the image of a good Christian, compassionate and loving to my fellow human beings, and gave me certain tools for success that he gave everybody else, regardless of skin color.

I felt privileged that my parents worked hard and put a roof over our heads and food on the table. It was not the best in the world, but we survived. Nobody gave us welfare and, had we demanded something we did not earn and were not entitled to, we would have been told swiftly, “no work, no food.”

How can we be privileged if Obama and Warren and the left have so aptly stated that "we did not build it"?

Majority privilege is an even greater scourge. Every other election should go to what most people don’t want. It’s only fair.

I think white privileged is a handle some of the blacks use to justify whatever action they wish to take against the whites at that particular moment whether it be verbal or physical.

In academic circles, “White privilege” is known as the “Bell Curve.”

Spare me the guilt trip, won’t work here.

If BLM, NBPP, and LaRaza are the best thing that blacks and latinos can come up with, their socialist-democrat enablers are striking out.

I have no sympathy for minorities who think that siding with hardcore socialists will get them anywhere, except for a nasty, brutal, and short lifespan.

These minorities either need to accept and adopt western culture, or abandon it and leave to lands more suitable to their tribal-fuedal-warlord lifestyles.

And no, I will not apologize to anyone for holding that opinion.

If you have a problem with that, you need to run to the nearest democrat and sign up with the antifa cry-bully crowd.

“White privilege” just means that there is a white male breathing somewhere.

They know that normal people don’t feel guilt over things they didn’t do. There is no “White” alive today who had slaves. (There are a lot of m*slims who HAVE slaves.)
Few people feel guilt over something their parents did. There must be one or two “Whites” who feel guilt over something that “Whites” did 200 years ago.
I’m none of those. I have no guilt over this.
This constant crap over “White Privilege” is an attempt to spread the guilt, so that all “Whites” feel it. Didn’t work for me.
And I didn’t give anyone permission to include me in the category “White,” a category that I reject, and anyone who tries to, go to hell.

It’s about merit and abilities, not privilege.

Expecting for people to be treated equally without regard to the color of their skin is now racist.

It’s not “white privilege”, it’s “Puritan work ethic”.
Behavior begets consequences, good or bad.

My guess is had you been ‘peiveleged’ to be born black in Mississippi in the 1930s you might have a different take

White Privlege is simply an excuse by lazy failures at life who have to blame anyone except themselves for their own failures.

It’s like “mansplaining”, a Leftist retort designed to “put you in your place” sitting down and shutting up.

Feminazis said that their goal was to “take away his power”.

It wasn’t about equality, it was about payback and getting “even” for past sins (not even sins of the father, “original sin” of being born white male).

Black Snivelege is unfortunately very real. Too many of today’s black yutes love to whine about the “institutional racism” that hasn’t existed since their grandparents time, encouraged by white leftists of course.

encouraged by white leftists of course.....I believe it is the pattern of the globalists. Queers wanted government out of their bedrooms. Now they sue because we won’t bake a cake. Muslims want to only be free from repression in their ‘homelands’, now they want Sharia law. Blacks wanted Equal Rights (which they have had) but now they want reparations. This goes on and on and finally the whites say ‘I only want to be left alone with my government as founded.’ Democrats (commies) say “You are out of the mainstream”.

Happily but also fearsomely nobody but the Lord God can send to hell.

Do you want the USA back? Desire the Lord God back first.

You are presupposing a Christian worldview that obliterates group obligations in favor of Christ’s voluntary obligation. One of the better points I have seen is that a lot of what America is today rode on the backs of black slaves.

We can’t escape it any more than a Hatfield or McCoy could escape being thus. The only cure is for both groups to accept the Lord God as Savior then sue for peace on that basis.
