There is a logical fallacy I call the Fallacy of the Vague Assertion, in which a premise is posited that is so broad or ill-defined that it is impossible to determine its validity.
Plants are big.
That’s a plant.
Therefore, that is big.
The vague assertion here is “big.” But “plants” is also so broad as to be meaningless.
This is especially true with the ridiculous notion of “white privilege.” Not only can’t anyone define what the so-called privilege is, they can’t even settle on a consistent definition of “white.”
The accusation is every bit as bigoted as the statement “All blacks have rhythm.”
I've traveled pretty extensively in Africa and have interacted pretty closely with many native Africans.What strikes me about almost all of them is that,if allowed to come to the US,they'd out work,out sacrifice,out plan,out achieve many (if not most) of the black people who've been here for generations as well as a good percentage of the white people here.
Nothing counts with leftists but their worldview. The moment they realize they have to think, their usual response is, “Oh, I don’t want to talk about it”.
Good post Jim Robinson!
“White Privilege” really is nothing more than an acronym for taking responsibility for ones self. Therefor I’m proud to have “white privilege”.
Taking responsibility is an alien concept for leftists. Blaming others and playing the victim is their forte all the way.
Getting an education, working hard, being responsible, following laws, being honest, being a responsible citizen, being loyal, being friendly, being accountable, being a good parent...all are American values. It is an issue of values. Follow these (and other) basic civil values and you’ll mostly have great outcomes. There ids no “privilege. Life’s outcomes mostly result from what you choose to put into it. I call BS on this “privilege” notion. The bums who spout about privilege mainly live with the outcomes based on their decisions...losers all.
"...And, of course, there are many successful blacks and Hispanics and ethnic minorities who also enjoy these same "white privileges..." Yes, you are right, as I am one of those. Would you believe my nephew once told me that I'm guilty of 'white privilege'? Yet, he couldn't define what white privilege was.
Excellent!
“White privilege”
I confess, I have White Privilege oozing from everywhere, However, I earned it by working my Ass off for 35 years and created a successful business by working 60-80 hours a Week. When all you little snowflake weenies decide you want to become a Man, you let me know.
Great Post Jim

Attend confirmation classes and learn your religion.
Obey the Ten Commandments.
Be home on time.
Boys do not hit girls.

You're not leaving the house wearing that.
Obey all driving laws and get a job to pay for your insurance.
Graduate from high school.

Being married is teamwork.
Keep your finances simple and clean.
Work hard and respect your spouse and/or your boss, even if he/she is a jerk.
House, feed, clothe and love your child.
Being a parent involves sacrifice.
Discipline your child fairly; do not spoil, do not abuse.
Read to your child.
Pray with your spouse and your child.
Don’t ignore your spouse or your personal grooming because you’re now married or a parent.
Stay married.
Settle fights with your spouse before going to sleep at night.
Use credit only for a mortgage, a car payment, or emergencies.
If life throws you a lemon, make lemonade.
Repair, reuse, make do. Be grateful for what you've got.
Save money for old age.
Don't try to run your grown kids' lives.
Take care of your elders.
Teach your children that privilege must be earned.
So true.
