What are those priviliges? Where do I sign up for them? I don't get priority in job applications and promotions - I want them. I can be accused of racism on no basis whatever - I want the privilige of being able to accuse others of racism.
I want to see some of that "white privilege"

I did not make it to where I am today because of my skin color. I made it here because I had parents who gave a damn about where I was and what I was doing when I was young. I made it here because I applied myself in school. I made it here because I took initiative and blew off the losers who told me I was "selling out" (for whatever reason).

Thank you for saying what needed to be said.

And, FWIW, I've heard the same thing from more than a few minority (female, black) co-workers as well. They get peeved when someone insinuates that something other than hard work allowed them to achieve what they've achieved.

"But Southerners and social conservatives place more emphasis on their racial identity than other white Americans, while those with more education place less."

Their implication is that Southerners and social conservatives are somewhat less educated than liberals. They obviously hadn't met the liberal democrat who openly states whitey and any or all shades thereof owes him or her something just because they're a peculiar color.

Righto. Rather than promote "diversity," this kind of stuff promotes differences and silo-thinking.

This is such a good idea. I've come across so many supposedly caucasian folks, who act like such derelicts that don't have a clue regarding their own identity as a class of people. As a group, many have become intimidated by the mass hysteria of racial inequity created by NAACP and other equally destructive groups. Maybe this survey will cause some to stop and think about the harm being done...

I agree 100%. Hope its an eye opener for the, "Educated" who think everyone except them are a couple cards short of a full deck because of a lack of secondary education. I find the, "lesser educated" to have more on the ball than someone with many degrees. Degrees of stupidity? PHD=Piled Higher and Deeper...

If you're white, alright.

If you're brown, stick around.

If you're black, step back.

Words of wisdom from the last century.

I never knew what this term "white people" meant until I went to the beach in Ireland. You needed sunglasses ... for the skinglare.

Homer aint white!

I'd have hoped we'd overcome our prejudices against jaundice sufferers by now.

Oh well.

This is the old SNL skit called "cotton land"

The scientists are just trying to condition the FOOLS who believe the racial politics that ALL white people succeed because of skin color.

This is a bs effort to save quotas and convince the stupid that black people can't be racists.

I sugest those white people go down to south africa (unarmed) and try and talk peace. (hint: the native population will give them a flaming tire necklace)

Get a grant, then you'll have the money necessary to do a study. An excellent source of income. :)

We are a capitalistic society, we WANT people to succeed, it is in EVERYONE'S best interests to have as many people succeed as possible.

I really don't see how the left fails to realize this.

They DO realize this. But, they bought into the same picture that Hillary touts as the American plantation. The want to keep people dependent upon the government. It's a self-perpetuating reality, and they cycle continues from generation to generation.

Your scientific racial classification is either "Dalmatian," or "Appaloosa."

Government guidelines for final clasification will depend upon your weight and dietary preference. Until we know this, we won't know how to address you. It's going to be either:

"Whoa there," or "Down Boy."
