You can argue that the fact that blacks commit crimes at 10x the rate of whites is evidence of racism, but that would open the door to a legitimate criticism of black culture as the source of the racism. And we know that blacks must never EVER be accused of complicity in their own failures or held accountable for their own shortcomings. All deficiencies in the black experience must be laid at the white man’s door.

So periodically you see these kinds of sophomoric screeds about white privilege and witness logical gymnastics that would put an Olympian to shame, all in order to deflect even the smallest blame from where it truly belongs.

Blacks MUST be kept “victims!”

This means that the incarceration rate for black people is over six times higher than that of white people...*

Howard??
Proof?

I didn't know ducks were allowed to write in College newspapers.

The bird seems to have skipped high school math...
To say nothing of logic.


* Hey moron, it can also prove that black people proportionally commit 6 times the number of serious felonies that white people do.

I sure hope nobody regards it as a moral imperative.

As ambiguous a statement as I have ever seen.

For the burdener? or the burdenee?

The need to treat black men as the white men’s burden. Like humanity could not ever progress past this point.

The only racism that is officially approved by government agencies is Affirmative Action (against white men).

This could also be renamed SES privilege. I always think of the comedy film Ted...where the go through a list of “white trash” names to guess the new love interests moniker. Let’s just say, a higher SES minority and a higher SES majority citizen would choose different names than someone of lower SES in any race or ethnicity.

More rationally, it is about black students averaging hundreds of SAT score points below those of whites and Asians, for the same degree. (And have been protected from low and failing grades through college.) How surprising is it that resume reviewers factor that in to their comparative assessment of qualifications?
