White people are quick to cite personal hardships instead of acknowledging that they are privileged because of their skin color, according to a new study.

Stanford University's L. Taylor Phillips and Brian S. Lowery, writing in November's Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, split test subjects into two groups - with one given more evidence of white privilege in American culture.

I'm surprised this appears to have slipped under the radar...I'm guilty no matter what according to these "experts".

Do blacks reject black privilege?

That sentence doesn't even make sense.

As a remedy, the researchers suggest "privilege reduction efforts" focus on convincing or educating advantaged group members about privilege, and also on "reducing the feelings of self-threat this information induces."

Pol Pot would love these "researchers"

They sound like something straight out of The Killing Fields

The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racism”. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarity”. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.

Racist is an interesting word, after all who are the real racists? A person that loves their race, is proud of all it’s accomplishments, wants to live with their own kind and preserve their heritage? Or is a racist someone that is trying to destroy someone’s heritage through mass foreign immigration, diversity, multiculturalism and race mixing?

Greatness warrants privilege.

How dare they!

Actually, I have never cited personal hardships instead of acknowledging a privilege. I just dismiss the idea of white privilege as the deflection that it is. I'm not the source of someone else's problems.

What they are saying is that white people are in denial.

No matter what they think, they are privileged. They just won't acknowledge it.

White privilege is a commie lib myth being pimped by a bunch of rich white college kiddies who have bought into the communist progrmming performed on them by their Marxist professors. The best way to not fall prey to this myth is to cut back on the alcohol and receational drugs.

What freaking privilege? I started working at 14 and to date have never taken government money nor ever had anyone give me anything. Everything I have cake through sacrifice, education and working my butt off for the last 40+ years.

White privilege is a myth manufactured to rationalize minority dysfunction. The only conceivable white privilege is a work ethic.

According to the “researchers”, you’re in denial.

This is the crux of their claims...just because you were born WHITE, you have rec’d privileges. Your actual life experiences/history have no bearing according to their narrative.

I deny being in denial. Does that make me doubly guilty? I deny being guilty. But then, I’m in denial, so..

White Privilege is just the new code word for capitalism. To “reject” it you have to vote for socialism.

Most whites did not grow-up in the Kennedy Compound and hence do not see themselves as recipients of “privilege”.

Yes, collective guilt on one side and collective victimization on the other. No concept of individual choice involved.

Me and my children have been denied things because we are white. College slots are one.

“The Bell Curve” It's white superiority. Asians have higher IQ’s than Caucasians, so what about that. Asian privilege?
