How is this a "poetry" slam? This is a monologue, not poetry.

I think this "poem" is what we like to call "humble-bragging," "moral preening" or "virtue-signaling."

Wow, to think at age 14 this kid has such life experience....

Write us a poem when you’ve gone through school, procured a job, paid your taxes, raised a family....

>>Dear everyone who isn’t a middle or upper class white boy, I’m sorry. I have started life on the top of the ladder while you were born on the first rung.

At least he’s more honest than blacks when they start with this crap. A poor white boy starts out with no “privilege” and has to earn everything because there are no special handouts for him.

But the black son of a black doctor and black lawyer is somehow “oppressed” and deserved special perks.

a virtue signaling haiku:

Told what to believe
Will he kill white parents?
That's where we're headed

I believe "virtue-signaling" is the terminology invented/used by the Left today. HEY! Walk into a Camden, NJ hood at night and preach it, son!

Wonder if Skippy texted that apology while out on his tablet while noshing on Kobe beef minute steak aboard his "slave-master" dad's schooner?

The Stockholm Syndrome indoctrination and "privilege" meme is taking deep root. Within 10 years an entire generation of "Rachel Corries" and Swedish/German "Rape-Me!" clones will be offering themselves as "penance" for the past "sins" from 200 years ago.

I guess plenty of guys are CUCKS, but THIS one..?

He’s King Emperor CUCK.

The Cuck to end ALL Cucks.

THIS is what today substitutes for ambition.

“May your chains rest lightly upon you, and may we someday forget that we called you our countrymen..”

Wow, this guy IS THAT..!

Move to Canada!

The white male is at the bottom of the PC hiring list up here!

If you’re a disabled, French Canadian lesbian, or a middle eastern immigrant, you’re in like ugly on an ape.

When I was Born, my Family lived in a two Room basement Apartment in Brooklyn.

We had no Heat, a Cast Iron Boiler to heat Water, Rats the size of Cats in the Hallway and my Mother suffered from Pleurisy because of the dampness.

My Father did get $3 off the Rent to put the Building Trash out in the back Alley on Trash Day. He probably got the Job because he was White and a WWII Veteran. It was either Affirmative Action because he's Italian or he was the only person who would do it. If that was the top ring of the Ladder, it must have been a Step Stool.

How cute. A 14-year-old twinkie without a clue.

When the sub-human muslims are sawing off his head with a dull, rusty knife; or the sub-human BLM thugs are beating and kicking him to death in the street; maybe then he can stop feeling guilty about his white privilege.

The reality is that since 1968 in the USA, women, minorities, and immigrants have had every academic, economic, and employment opportunity available in the country. The preferences and advantages for white males has been exactly zero, zilch, nada, nothing. Therefore, no white privilege.

When I was his age, my Father gave me some sage advice that I’ve followed all my Life.

He said, “nobody owes you a living, so shut up and get back to work”.

It served me well for almost 50 Years.

white privilege, if it exists, is never actually described. it’s just assumed as fact and they move on from there.

but what exactly is this ‘privilege’ they speak of? i’m a white male that grew up outside of boston. if anyone had ‘it’, that would be me.

but when i graduated high school, no one gave me college tuition. no one handed me a $250k/yr job. so where is this ‘privilege’???

the ‘privilege’ would be found upon looking at me.

one glance and you know i’m not a criminal and i don’t do drugs. upon further investigation you’d find out i had worked hard for my degrees and the experience they have brought. if you asked, you’d find i worked 2-3 jobs while going to school to pay for those degrees... i’m not a dead beat expecting others to cover my bill.

is this ‘privilege’ white only? hardly. hell, it doesn’t apply to many whites.

but anyone CAN obtain it.... thru hard work and by leading a clean life.

WHY do people wonder about Columbines and Sandy Hook..?

Why do they do that..?

What if you were told that...

1. The Earth’s oceans were boiling
2. Your grandparents committed genocide
3. America was stolen land
4. America’s early labor force was also stolen
5. White Americans were smallpox blanket distributors
6. You are a potential rapist
7. When you chewed a danish into the shape of a gun, the reason was cuz you were planning a mass-shooting
8. When you asked for brownies that was racial prejudice

WHY are people astonished when the effects of all this plays out in the form of this boy, criticizing himself, like a Khmer Rouge-directed indoctrination session..?

The making of a self hating white.

He confuses privilege with ability.

One very big reason why blacks and whites cannot peacefully coexist.

Better for each to go their separate way and have separate countries.

Since the clip was posted, viewers have been taking to social media to praise the wise, open-minded youngster.

Then you go down to the comments section and see this as the top comment:

Funny how he couldn't list one, just one, example of white privilege that he's received. The only thing he's received is class privilege, which has to do with his parents' bank account and not his skin color.

2nd comment:

Checkmark next to his name: indoctrination fully successful. He's ready for college.

Teenagers, go take over the world while you still know everything.

Adults don’t listen to children.
