Black racism is defined in their concept of white privilege.

Lets talk about black privilege in this country. The entire gimme free sh1t movement is about black privilege.

Worldwide compare - if you are “poor” in America you get more benefits than anywhere else, you have more ability to change your life positively than anywhere else - else why would the entire world want to come here - and you are in the top 16% of the world’s money makers.

I read Brooks’ article, and Brooks was practically on his knees writing it. Even groveling, knees on ground, stomach on ground, arms straight out over head is not enough for the New Totalitarians. What this says is that when ever this bunch gains undisputed power, dissent will be dealt with lead.

If whites supposedly have privileges, how did that come about?

They would answer, it’s because they have more money, more power more influence, and better expectations of success.

And how did that come about?

You keep asking those questions and you will get to the right answer (and where no one wants to go).

By the way, apparently asians have similar privileges as whites. How come?

A lot of intellectual controversies are just WWF antics for highbrows.

With Brooks, Coates, and Salon, you know it's just a circus.
