‘I wouldn’t change places with you’: 8th grader’s ‘white boy privilege’ poem goes viral
Global News ^ | July 12, 2016 | Emanuela Campanella

Posted on 07/12/2016 9:44:57 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Royce Mann, an eighth grader from Atlanta, Ga., took the Internet by surprise with his poem called, “white boy privilege” that he wrote and recited at his school’s poetry slam contest in May.

In the video recently posted by his mother on YouTube, 14-year-old Mann expresses his thoughts on race, gender and equality issues.

He began the poem by saying how grateful he was to have been born a white male and said that he loved his “white boy privilege.”

“Dear women, I’m sorry, dear black people, I’m sorry… Dear everyone who isn’t a middle or upper class white boy, I’m sorry,” he recited in his poem. “But I wouldn’t change places with you.”

He goes on to talk about the ways in which life is better for him than minorities and women before adding that things need to change.

Said the English to the Germans, said the Germans to the Irish, said the Irish to the Italians, said Everybody to the Jews.

And all the first settlers, the English, had to do was fight nature, Indians, Mexicans, fever, starvation and death.

Quit whing you little faggot bitch.

More white guilt disguised as a poem? Sheeesh!

And to hell with the parents and teachers who would teach a kid such nonsense.

Wait until he’s rejected from med school for being white or passed over for a job promotion to make room for a quota filler.

Write your damn poem then, kid.

Sure the whites in South Africa aren’t writing poems about white guilt these days. Too busy getting murdered.

This whole thing is phony. The kid is an actor and is reading someone else’s words......even if he didn’t tell that to his teacher.

He obviously has very stupid parents who deliberately taught him to be stupid like they are.

Wait until he finds out that few girls and eventually women want nothing to do with such an attitude. Even the liberal women I dated rarely found highly sensitive men attractive.

Indoctrinated and used as pawns is right. Beyond shameful.

Interesting story, but where's the useful news?

Our entire country has been run by functional 14-yr-olds for almost 8 years.
Why don't we just eliminate age requirements for elected office and make it official?

My personal opinion?
We would notice no difference.

Yeah. I remember how many eighth grade poems made the news before Obama.

I’m sure it appeals to his mentality, though.

well, the first settlers in the USA were Spaniards who set up Texan cities. Also, in 1540, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado explored from Arizona to central Kansas

The Dutch settled in New York city (New Amsterdam) well before the English. and there was New France well before the English settlers arrived in the 17th century.

The English never had to fight the Mexicans though...

Being taught to hate yourself because of your race isn’t privilege.

It’s not about racial privilege but racial ability.

It is extremely tragic that the black race on the AVERAGE has significantly lower IQ than whites or asians. As a result every individual of that race carries that burden to a certain extent. Even the ones that are smarter than the average white or asian, invariably have to prove themselves more so than an equally intelligent white. Just like a white or asian basketball player may have to go the extra mile demonstrating that he can play in the NBA.

It’s what it is, it’s reality, life isn’t fair. But there is no question that it causes great animosity and as we have seen throughout history as well as the present, often violence.

So what are the choices before us? Continue living together in misery and violence, or accept the reality that blacks and whites (and asians) cannot peacefully coexist together and agree on a friendly separation with each group having their own country and running their affairs as they please?
