Sorry for the rant/vent but I have had it. I am so sick of people talking about White Privilege. What exactly is White Privilege you may ask, well let me tell you my opinion of it. White Privilege is having a WORK ETHIC; a moral compass; and a desire to keep what one has worked for.
WHITE PRIVILEDGE IS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOUR SORRY! does Africa have a black privilege guilt trip put on them by their own kind? If you don’t like it here LEAVE!
Without us, you wouldn’t have welfare, healthfare, blingfare, phonefare, Nikefare, and sit around and feel sorry for yourselves and b*tchfare.
Not happy? Go avail yourselves of the many opportunities to make something useful of your lives like so many millions of others do and become a productive citizen.
One of the added benefits of being accused of White Privilege is that you get to be labeled a racist as well.
I grew up in the 70’s being opened minded and trusting. Since then, with the way moral ethics and personal responsibility in this country have declined, I have become cynical and bitter as my rights have been eroded.
White privilege is the result of racial exceptionalism, of inequality that is the natural result of not being uneducated and lazy and corrupt. White privilege grows from the root of self reliance and hard work in a Christian environment.
After watch the people spouting the “white privilege” nonsense I have some to a conclusion.
When white people apologize for their “white privilege” what they are saying is “I’m better than you and I know it and you know it.” It’s a smugness that oozes contempt for people not their color. Saying you are ashamed of your whiteness doesn’t diminish your whiteness, it amplifies it by pointing it out to people that might not even be paying attention to color. It is a backhanded way of saying I’m great and you are scum.
Those that don’t apologize for their whiteness are just people trying to live their lives and don’t care much about color.
White privilege is nothing more than American privilege. It is open to all who will get an education get and get a job.
It’s just that simple.
...Now it is not good for the Christian’s health to hustle the Aryan brown,
For the Christian riles, and the Aryan smiles and he weareth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear: “A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.”
- ‘The Naulahka’, by Rudyard Kipling
Fully agree.
You may quote me:
When I was a kid white was a color. In physics class I learned that white was actually a blend of all visible colors and that black was the absence of color. As a seasoned adult I’m told that white is an adjective applied to some humans and that it means hateful, prejudiced and deceitful. It means that a person exploits others and delights in keeping them down. It refers to slaveowners and colonialists. It designates those individuals who mowed down the native inhabitants and stole their land. I’m none of those things and I resent the implication.
White Privilege is Marxist egalitarianism.
Like all Marxist ideology, it doesn't sell very well to an informed literate society.
It designed to guilt white people into thinking they are somehow inherently better because of the color of their skin and heritage instead of their ethics, work habits skills, morals.
If you can convince certain people are better and everyone should be equal, "or as a social philosophy advocating the removal of economic inequalities among people, economic egalitarianism, or the decentralization of power. "
Basically shuts up or silence people to accept any social justice horse manure
White privilege means always having to say you’re sorry.
My wife is oriental, there is white privileged. But in most cases it is easily overu come. There is also minority woe, which means easy surrender or reverse prejudice and discrimination. Also there is prejudice and discrimination coming at us all. Discretion education is needed discretion is not always bad. Sensitivity training is needed. Also if you display yourself as a societal rebel expect to be treated as one. Your haircut, etiquette, manners, clothes, speech and posture say a lot. If you start a conversation by offending a person don’t expect them to greet you with open arms.
At 16 I had the privilege of working for a one armed boiler maker.
And what about Asian privilege? They’re doing even better than whites.
It’s not about privilege but ability and character.
Interestingly enough black Nigerian immigrants supposedly do rather well.
Take that away and it's back on the road to feral savagery.
Every one of my extended family were patriotic, successful and warm, decent people. Not one family member was a drug user or ever in prison. White privilege is growing up with good, civilized role models.
