President Jane Close Conoley of California State University has a message for you: if you are “light skinned,” are are likely the owner of “significant, unearned privilege” and, despite the fact that you might not look down upon other races, you are still likely a racist.
In an opinion piece called “Privilege at The Beach,” which is reference to Long Beach in California, where the college is located, Conoley had a few choice words for whites. Conoley herself is white.
“I’d like to do some thinking and talking about how to ensure The Beach is a zone of kindness and respect,” she begins her article. “A place where privilege is unaffected by skin color, national origin, who we love, religion, or disability, veteran, or social status.”
Conoley then explains that, if you’re white, you’re likely the owner of privilege. “Light skin color and high-income levels may attract significant unearned privilege,” she writes. “This privilege can manifest itself in numerous ways that afford automatic trust, deference, and security.”
And for those who are not white, they are subject to racism, intentional or not, from their white-skinned brethren. “Those who are less affluent with darker skin or from other cultures,” Conoley details, “can be targets of micro to macro aggressions, distrust, and low expectations for behavior.”

Mulatto? Isn’t that a politically incorrect word?
Cal State Long Beach is the same academic pustule that employs Ron Kerenga, the convicted felon and black racist that made up Kwanzaa.
These idiots need to learn when to shut up, go sit in the corner and color. In the last few years many whites have started to develop unsettling feelings towards non whites. I think the nation was really making progress even here in the deep South. Then along comes Obama and blows the whole thing up.
Hilary-grade shrinkage all around!
I have such privilege from my “light-skin color” that I spent my 20s and 30s working 60 to 80 hours a week just to pay bills.
some privilege. She really needs to get out into the real world on occasion. she has stayed within the confines of academia for far too long.
Smells like racism.
Drink the Kool-Aid, don’t smoke it.
Well now. My white dad was born in a wooden shack in the hills of Kentucky. He left us when I was around 9 years old. Hardly ever paid any child support. Died still owing his kids thousands in child support. So where is that privilege this idiot racist speaks of ?
Dunno. Is there another term?
Anti-white bigotry is now rampant and acceptable.
“Another deranged academic.”
What is scary, is that this is not your run of the mill leftist Prof, this is the President.
How does El Presidente (of the college) expect me to react when I try to politely interact (naturally, since I am of the deemed “priviledged” class/race) with members of the “non-priviledged” race/class and get a big load of “attitiude” for my troubles?
Was my being polite to them a provocation?
Is avoiding areas where I am likely to be a target of non-priviledged macroaggression (otherwise known as assaultive criminal behavior) racism because my expectation of being assaulted there actually is the catalyst provoking them into assaulting priviledged and non-priviledged people?
(I think we saw some of this thinking in articles on how delaying the announcement of the Michael Brown grand jury decision until nightfall actually provoked the rioting in Ferguson. (Along with the security measures taken by the governor.))
Under this conception of priviledge, is there ever a time when the non-priviledged are actually responsible for their actions and words?
It's a Cal State school, so most of these students are, in fact, impostors: not only don't they belong in college, they're too stupid to even know how stupid they are. Consequently they believe their general lack of success, and that of their forebears is attributable to imagined injustices of various kinds, and stoking those illusory resentments makes this little Quisling useful until she reaches 62½, at which point she can comfortably retire, participate in panel discussions about how important it is to create a more minority-relevant [read: even stupider than it is now] curriculum, maybe even write a book that no one -- even she -- will ever read.
In the meantime the rest of us must suffer both the fools who actually believe this crap, and the criminal intellectual carpetbaggers who don't, but spout it anyway. Not everyone can be an AFSCME drone shuffling useless papers around, and the prisons and welfare rolls are already full.
Can’t say hardly anything without violating ever present political correctness. Guess it beats the N word.
Jane Close Conoley, funny as the comment this idiot made
