This "privileged" white guy has been up since 4:45 AM to get a start on the work day. Do this six days a week and am on call on the 7th.

What black spokes fools seem to be admitting is that blacks want privil’edge’ without having to qualify for it or compete for it or earn it, just be given it. That hasn’t worked out too well with affirmative action. I mean, look at the piece of floating excrement in the White Hut! He’s a post turtle in full don’tchaknow.

Dear Leonard - Please tell all the blacks in prison for killing, maiming, stealing, raping, etc. that the only reason they are in the slammer is because of white privilege, not their heinous crimes. Meanwhile, I’ll clean my shotgun.

Leonard Pitts Jr. (”Lenny” to his friends) misses one critical fact. A fact which makes all the difference in the world as to how these two events played out.

Kalamazoo is not Cleveland.

He and all others that spout this crap can shove white privilege.

Funny how race doesn’t exist except when it does. Whites need to stand up to this BS

"White privilege" is THE issue among liberals these days. Us normal people don't realize just how big it is in liberal bastions like schools and college campuses.

It's like "The Lord of the Flies" madness. Some white liberals are even making it their whole lives, it's taken over their brains like an alien possession.

And it's all made up! Not only is there is no white privilege, but white people are the only people in our society against whom you can discriminate with the full blessing of the law.

Blacks get all kinds of preferential privileges on account of their skin color.

Funny how the black racist Leonard Pitts doesn’t mention them.

But black privilege is kosher while alleged white privilege is treif.

White privilege seems to be traits found in white culture that have a positive response. A cop is more likely to be killed or assaulted by non-whites so cops are more apprehensive.

How many cops are nervous around 25 year old Asian men in business suits?

How many times have white criminals gotten away because they were nice to the officer? Mike Brown died because he didn’t have the sense to not assault an officer. Had he been walking on the sidewalk, Wilson wouldn’t even have seen him!

White people worked for that “privilege” and the only thing keeping blacks from it is blacks.

It has been my privilege to have my WW2 Hero Grandfather murdered in a convenience store robbery by an 18 year old black kid.

It has been my privilege to have my Father’s best friend shot 3 times at work by his black employee.

It has been my privilege to have been robbed at gunpoint by three black guys on the street in Atlanta.

It has been my privilege to have my car/house broken into only to have four black teens caught with my property.

It will be my privilege to find my own justice if one single more thing happens to my loved ones.

That said, anyone looking to define white privilege would be well advised to ponder the 40 minutes police spent sorting things out with the white man and the two seconds it took them to shoot the black boy

Police deal with suicide-by-cop nuts all the time. The boy clearly was not in that situation but the adult in Pitt's example may have been, that is probably why they spent 40 minutes "negotiating". The action on the boy in the park sounds excessively short. Was there any attempt to ask the boy to drop the "gun"? How did he respond?

The Travis County DA (who's continued employment has become the basis for an indictment against Gov. Rick Perry) "negotiated" with police for 60 minutes at a roadside stop regarding DWI (they did not even begin to administer the test for 30 minutes and gave her 30 minutes of chances to comply with the testing officer's requests).

I don't hear libs up in arms over law enforcement privilege or the persecution of Rick Perry.

“Privilege”?

Really?

It’s been a REAL ‘privilege’ killing myself to work and take all the crap I routinely have done over all these decades in this place JUST to earn enough to get by.... so my income can be looted to provide a leisurely existence for people who hate me, who will NEVER take responsibility for themselves and who will NEVER assimilate!

I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ‘privileged’!

Whites make their own “privilege”, if that word must be used. White males willingly have taken risks to their lives, and not infrequently have lost them, to further our pool of knowledge and contribute to a better future for all. What leftist blacks choose to ignore is that any “privilege” whites seem to have had, wasn’t dropped into their laps from on high, it was paid for by whites, most often white males, in sweat, blood, and tears. There weren’t any “entitlement” programs for the vast majority of whites, in either the approach to, or the zenith of, western civilisation.

"White Privilege" is the reasonable expectation, based on long experience, that the odds are in favor that the white person you hire, contract with, or lead will do what you expect them to do and not steal, cheat or commit violence.

Obviously, there are exceptions and those who violate that trust are punished.

Others have developed their own reputations and the only solution is to hold themselves to the same standards if they expect to be treated the same.

One million dollars tax-free, a first-class ticket to any other country that’ll accept you and you turn-in your passport and renounce your U.S. citizenship the minute you hit the ground. Deal?

So what you're saying is, "white privilege" is directly proportionate with one's ability to lace up work boots and read a work schedule? WHO KNEW!?!?! /sarc

Oh please Leo...cry us a river!

I notice that chip on your shoulder getting heavier by the day. Must be such a burden to carry all that envy and hate inside you?

“Except, of course, that privilege is not a direct function of income or education. “

Got that far in the article .... but going back for more later for more examples of very poorly thought out arguments.

Marginalize, criticize, demonize, criminalize.

This guy who you call privileged would love to be placed first in the line for college admissions, federal jobs, government contracting and private jobs. Due to his “White Privilege” he’s forced to get at the end of the line, after unqualified but privileged individuals.
And to add insult, he’s branded a racist if he won’t bow down in abject submission and grovel for forgiveness for being White.
