Like most PC concepts, white privilege has never been adequately defined. Quite deliberately so -- the idea is to have a concept so elastic and amorphous that it can be stretched to cover any given situation, distorted through multiple dimensions, and immediately changeable if necessary. White privilege is a tactic rather than an idea, and to ask for a specific definition is to ask for something that has never been and cannot be.

According to some assclown I heard call in to a talk show the other day, simply by being born white you are automatically imbued with WP even if you don't know it. Seems like the last time a "gathering" of white rioters smashed windows and burned cop cars and buildings, the cops just looked the other way because you just don't arrest and prosecute whitey. Oooops! When was that again? Post basketball national championship game? Last superbowl win? Last MLB world series? Last nascar final race for the season? After a gay black former reporter gunned down 2 former co-workers and an interviewee?

WP is the ephemeral boogieman. The last resort when shooting blanks with other ad hominem attacks such "racist". It's a sure sign of a total loser. Hurling the WP epithet is precisely raising the white flag of surrender. It deserves nothing more than a raised middle finger.

When you’ve got university professors spewing this stuff, you’re going to have people in a private sector repeating it.
Man there’s a lot of racism floating around these days.

White privilege is a fantasy manufactured to rationalize minority dysfunction.
To: rktman
Blacks have been around for millions of years. Have they always used white privilege as an excuse?

White privilege is just another way for libtards to play the victim card.Also, postmodernists insist that Western law, which grew out of Christianity and the Enlightenment, reflects white male bias. They attack the concepts or reason and objective truth, condemning them as components of white male domination. They prefer the more subjective ways of knowing supposedly favored by women and minorities, such as storytelling.They believe that Western law needs to eliminate religious roots an rationality by being more subjective and less objective in order to end oppression and establish social justice.

My grandfather was a coal miner, and died in 1928 at the age of thirty, leaving six children and a pregnant wife. My grandmother farmed the little ones out to relatives, kept the older ones, and found a job as a cook in a boarding house. Privileged?

Yup. He was obviously ‘given’ the job because he was white.

Kinda like Global climate change Exactly like climate change. Between the invented concept of "White Privilege" and the invented concept of Global climate change, liberals can squeeze in any concept they decide is a social justice emergency or just a political winner with their fringe voters.

“White Privilege” is totalitarian leftist racist stereotyping WRIT LARGE.
If I were in college today, I would be filing civil rights complaints against every college administrator and professor involved in the propagation of this disgusting outrage.
Talk about offensive. How dare they?
