Breitbart ^ | March 20, 2017 | Tom Ciccotta

Scholar Claire Lockard argues in a new work that white people who acknowledge their privilege are less likely to engage in actual anti-racism efforts. In her work, “Unhappy Confessions: The Temptation of Admitting to White Privilege,” recent Emory graduate and Elon University scholar Claire Lockard argues that acknowledgments of white privilege or racism are “pleasurable to enact but ultimately reinforce white people’s feelings of goodness and allow them to avoid addressing this racism.” In the abstract for her work, Lockard explains how an admission of white privilege could lead to a complacency that leads individuals away from anti-racist activism.

I am a White person and although I have no real opinion about my own skin color, I certainly acknowledge the superiority of my Culture.

I do not acknowledge the phony, bullsh** concept of privilege and I do not engage in “anti-racism efforts.”

What does that make me?

Let's start calling it, 'hard work' priviledge.

They're making up some 'snappy' term hoping that you will give up more of what you've earned.

People who are not racist do not talk on and on about racism. Only racists do that.

What a silly game of self imposed ‘guilt’. No matter what you do, it will never be enough from the professional victim’s perspective.

A know-nothing college grad in a sham major with a sham 'mission.'

She can go to hell.

“What does that make me?”

A misogynist white man who is guilty about having a big penis and needs to talk about it to every woman he meets.

Well, at least that’s what I do anyway...

Well, that’s it, then. She obviously knows everything.

Sure. Bow down in submission. Beg forgiveness (you won’t get it).

This is just to prepare us to become a minority and for the left to take our assets and give them to those who they claim we oppressed.

Wow, I’m glad he/she/it warned me of the pitfalls of acknowledging my “white privilege”. [long break to stop laughing and get up off the floor] I was just about to “acknowledge” it, but now I’ll know not to do that!

The young gun enthusiast in the photo misspelled a word. He forgot to include the “d” in black powder. Such is the sad state of education.

I have two in my family.

Actual PHDs still in their 20s!
But the indoctrination is permanent

They will be the first to go when any disaster hits.

Just another elitist thug pushing a fascist, racist agenda.
It is just a small step for Claire Lockard to be setting up concentration camps and killing people who she dislikes.
She and her ilk are getting ready to resort to mass violence.
“Scholar” ?? My azz.
