The unintentionally-funny thing, is that what the cartoon drawer is really implying, is that the rest are genetically incapable of passing the test.

Author Toni Morrison says white Americans overwhelmingly supported President-elect Donald Trump due to fears that “their natural superiority is being lost.” “Unlike any nation in Europe, the United States holds whiteness as the unifying force,” Morrison writes in an essay for the New Yorker, entitled “Mourning for Whiteness.”
Morrison catalogues an apparent list of concerns held by white Trump voters: “There are ‘people of color’ everywhere, threatening to erase this long-understood definition of America. And what then? Another black President? A predominantly black Senate? Three black Supreme Court Justices? The threat is frightening.”
The Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author also explains the lengths white Americans have gone to “restore whiteness to its former status as a marker of national identity”:
Morrison blames the election of Trump on eager “white voters” who “embraced the shame and fear sowed” by the President-elect:
On Election Day, how eagerly so many white voters—both the poorly educated and the well educated—embraced the shame and fear sowed by Donald Trump. The candidate whose company has been sued by the Justice Department for not renting apartments to black people. The candidate who questioned whether Barack Obama was born in the United States, and who seemed to condone the beating of a Black Lives Matter protester at a campaign rally. The candidate who kept black workers off the floors of his casinos. The candidate who is beloved by David Duke.
Morrison’s is one of sixteen such post-election essays on “Trump’s America” appearing in the November 21 print edition of the New Yorker.

Every time I see the term “White Privilege” I translate it as “White Competence” and the articles seem to make a lot more sense.
I’ll bet there are a lot of black Americans who would like some of your celeb privilege. Racist America, BTW, has helped to make Oprah one of the richest people in the world. How’d that happen, Toni?
Let me say Toni is a teeny bit correct.
Normal white heterosexuals have been buried under assault, as special privileges from AA to pervert bathroom privileges have been accorded on an “anything-but-white” basis. She calls it “fear of loss of privilege”, while I call it “sick of persecution.”
It’s a matter of framing. And yes, I’m proud to have voted for Trump.
As a white guy, I get to go to work every morning since sixteen years of age, work everyday 8-12 hours a day with narely a sick day for forty some odd years, abide by the law, pay out the nose in taxes, levies, fees to local, county, state and federal entities to pay in part for others medical care, incarceration, education, housing, food assistance...is this white privilege?
Good grief! Liberals are sooooo freakin messed up in the head.
Toni Morrison ‘eagerly attacks’ Trump voters out of fear of a ‘Collapse of Black Privilege’.
I am thoroughly sick of diversity.
What made America great, and what will make it great again is meritocracy. Recruit and promote the best, regardless of race.
And so what, white people get to vote and if we are the majority and want others to stay in power that’s what elections are for. Nothing wrong with it.
You know what? I’m getting tired of this.
So my new position is they’re right—whatever...
Call me a racist. Fine. I’m a racist.
I’m white, after all.
I voted for Trump so white people can continue to rule and enslave people of color.
Oh yeah, slavery is illegal.
Who the hell decided that?
White people. Yah, Tony, you can thank me.
Racist b_ch.
Just more nonsensical word salad from her....
How intellectually confining to base every event in terms of race.
The unintentionally-funny thing, is that what the cartoon drawer is really implying, is that the rest are genetically incapable of passing the test.
The word "privilege" comes from Latin privus "individual" (see private (adj.)) + lex (genitive legis) "law", or "private law", a special set of rules which benefit the privileged party.
In the US, the privileged people, the ones who benefit from private rules (like affirmative action), are the minorities.
But make that point in a college classroom, and you will be expelled.
White voters decided the anti-white hate rhetoric coming from the democrat party was enough and dangerous to their families future safety. Gee, they decided not to commit suicide by democrat party.
Madame Medusa!
She actually wrote that Whites have “natural superiority.” Surprising.
I tried reading Beloved but didn't make it past page fifty.
From the looks of it she hasn’t missed many meals.
Clean up in cubicle 3, my head just exploded!
