Whiteness ain’t a privilege; it’s a gift from God.


I agree.

Why do other races consider themselves inferior? I feel sad for them if they feel that way but I am not feeling any guilt for being white.

The only solutiin is to isolate whites and keep them away from poisoning all the minorities. Something is needed to make sure they are seperate but equal. But not as equal as blacks.

White privilege is taught by whites full of self hate. Its just another attempt to destroy America and western civilization.

Then, it is time to band together and make sure the little guy gets the best education possible.

Blacks have been given priority for 30+ years but they just haven’t advanced it much. It’s no one’s fault but their own. They should not be given any advantages any longer.

I hate the term “reverse racism”. Racism is racism.

"Reverse racism" it itself racist. It associates racism with whites in particular, implying that whites as a group are inferior to other races in practicing racial tolerance.

How to stop these fascist leftist social-engineers?

We can't really be honest about it, or we would get banned.

Talk about insanely jealous and covetous.

When my white ancestors arrived in Canada they were refugees in a camp near Montreal for several years...

then when the American Revolution ended they were given a hoe and some seeds to start life over...

their white privilege was lost back in the cabins they had built and the land they had cleared from the wilderness back in Pennsylvania....

But they started again...built a cabin, cleared the land...

and managed to build the first grist mill and saw mill in Ontario...parts of which are still standing..(now called Peter Secord’s Mill, in St David’s)

Gee how on Earth did those poor little snowflakes manage to accomplish so much after other big bad white men stole their stuff and drove them out of the US ???

The teacher’s name sounds like he /she is from India. The teacher is not from a family with 200 plus years in Canada. These liberal socialists are into justifying more and more foreigners from countries that neither we nor Canada allowed to immigrate to our countries years ago. I look around Nashville and slowly the Caucasians are becoming the minority. I have never seen so many white girls with black babies. I look back at the wars of this nation and it has been us the white folks who have done the dying in every war at a percentage higher then the so called minorities. In Vietnam the left tried their propaganda about how only poor whites and mostly blacks did the fighting and dying. The truth is that whitey again did more of the dying then his percentage of the population. AA came to the Army in 70, and; I recall by 1973 the black Captain who went to college the same years I did with only one tour in RVN got orders to ROTC from our advanced course class. I had to go to Korea as two one year tours was normal for Infantry CPT’s. I do not recall a single black Infantry officer RIF in late 1972 or in 1975. Perhaps some were. I can state minorities have better odds at getting into nearly every elite college in America with even less then A’s and a 1500 plus SAT score. Something is very wrong with the socialists throwing Christianity out of schools and not only allowing Muslim prayer, but; also teaching that evil prayer to kids. We must take our country back. These liberal activist judges are infecting our nation and the teachers unions are brainwashing kids.

I have to go to the Russian store to find the food I grew up with as a kid whose dad was in a Japanese concentration camp in China when he was a kid. I have some of the same hangups that many second generation kids of parents who were in concentration camps have. This is my white privilege.

White privilege is having an IQ over 85.

The white privilege thing is, of course, the natural outcome of a superior intellect and an inborn incentive to achieve. We have to ask, where would Africa or Africans be without western influence? We know the answer and they know the answer. Black Lies Matter, really are lies. Cassius Clay once honestly stated, “I’m sure glad my granddaddy got on that boat.”

he had easy access to Jamaican food but no access to Scots food

Same here. I can get Jamaican meat pies and pigeon peas in the freezer cases at Walmart. No haggis, though ... not even formed, breaded haggis-bits.

I don't think the fact that every store has potatoes reflects Irish (or Incan) "privilege." It's just that potatoes are cheap, travel well, and last a long time.

I find black privilege vexing. Why are there no Popeye’s chicken in my area? I love it but have to go far to get it.
