Outrage at NC college as 'white, male, Christian able-bodied and straight' students are told...
Daily Mail ^ | Aug. 20, 2016 | Ariel Zilber

A North Carolina university became embroiled in controversy on Friday after a student group posted a 'privilege board' on campus which calls on white, male, able-bodied, Christian, or cisgender people to 'check their privilege.'

Students at Appalachian State University notice the board when they enter Plemmons Student Union, a major campus hub that has allowed the incendiary board to remain in place since last semester.

The board's existence, which was first reported last year by the web site Campus Reform, has conservatives outraged over what they perceive as the singling out of one religious group as well as the imposition of a political point of view on unsuspecting students.

The board first surfaced last year in a residence hall, but now it has been placed in a more prominent location with greater exposure to students.

They need to check their entitlement.

If 52% of my salary goes to taxes already, am I really “underprivileged”? Or am I over-privileged with my new-found “right” to pay taxes?

They should be proud of their privileges, earned by their people over the last 3000 years.

The next generation could be beaten with that board to atone for their privilege

Exactly. This is silly.

This needs to be mocked, it takes a person talented in rhetoric though, and too many conservatives whine like little girls or worse, freshman undergrad intellectuals.

Maybe if people who posted that BS would get up off their a$$ and work harder they might have “privilege” (success from the fruit of hard labor) too.
Us whiteys are not getting all those government “privileges” like affirmative action, free food, healthcare, housing, and education and are discriminated against if we try to apply for them by being denied by minority social workers all the time even if we’re earning the same as minorities. I can think of several of my friends and family members that have experienced reverse discrimination. The difference is we dont’t whine and cry about it and go looting businesses and turning over police cars.

In a childhood where every kid got a juice box, participation trophy and no one kept score, it was only the babies that screamed yelled that got attention. That generation has been loosed onto society. It explains why they have to keep screaming louder and louder and continually find a target to blame their misery on. Ponder this thought.

This ‘check your privilege’ stuff is the first step in a long trek that ends with them kneeling you beside a ditch and blowing your brains out. It’s been done since time in memoriam.....

When faced with someone with "attitude", wouldn't it be amusing to reply:

"Look, I know you're a privileged person. Special scholarships, special acceptance criteria, preferential hiring policies. I get that. You have privileges that I can only dream of. But in this particular instance, I'm not sure your race card is going to buy you anything. I think we're equal here. So cut the attitude, okay?"

Privilege? Really? I wonder what the school’s admissions quotas are for non-whites, females, non-Christians, the disabled and the sexually-diverse.

Whenever I hear the term “white privelege”’I think “white competence.” Which I’m sure would engage these obnoxious SJWs. So be it.

They need to add to the list “self important Clymers who make up lists like this.” The most arrogant of the bunch.
