Here's some good news for all you black folks complaining about racism in America.
You don't know how good you have it.
At least that's the message I heard during one of the strangest conversations I've ever had about race. I was talking about the concept of white privilege -- the belief that being white comes with unearned advantages and everyday perks that its recipients are often unaware of. I asked a white retiree if he believed in the existence of white privilege. He said no, but there was another type of privilege he wanted to talk about:
"Black privilege."
Confused by his answer, I asked him to give me an example of a perk that I enjoyed as a black man that he couldn't. His answer: "Black History Month."
"In America you can't even talk about whiteness," said Drew Domalick, who lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "If you try to embrace being white, you are portrayed as being a racist. If we had a White History Month, that would be viewed as a racist holiday."
Domalick isn't the only one who believes in black privilege. The term is being deployed in conservative circles as a rhetorical counterattack to the growing use of the term "white privilege." It's part of a larger transformation: White is becoming the new black....

And , it’s time to talk about White history month!!
I have no interest in ‘black privilege’, ‘white privilege’, or any other racist nonsense. I will judge people by the content of their character - period. If some bigoted snowflake doesn’t like that, I will ignore their whining and go on with life.
Why do 17% of overpaid Federal jobs go to blacks when they only make up 13% of the population?
“The first shall become last and the last shall become first”
And the Congressional White Caucus in Congress.
Men’s History Month too?
OHHH Excellent suggestion. How about MEN’S HEALTH MONTH?
On TV ads for home security systems, the would-be burglar CANNOT be black. Only white people break in and steal stuff.
On TV ads, the clueless shopper who cannot manage simple tasks will ALWAYS be white. The knowledgeable sales rep who can make everything OK will frequently be a helpful black fellow.
Black men can date either black women or white women. Who would dare to question the man's taste? But a white man must only date white women. To be seen with a black woman is to invite trouble. It can be done, but it's risky. so it tends to have limited visibility.
The list is actually pretty endless.
I want the NAAWP!!
I read it all. I won’t feel guilt about anything race related ever. It was in God’s hands to place me where I am today. I will not feel bad about what the Almighty has done.
If anyone e wants to talk about priviledge or poor me syndrome, I urge them to pick up a shovel, chain saw, book, whatever, and get their behinds to work!
White LIVES MATTER?
It’s white chagrin and black opportunistics.
The left will continuously use white-black disparities as a blunt weapon against the right, and we’ll forever be embarrassed at the actions of a very few and resentful for having for to be so.
“There are two races of men in this world but only these two: the race of the decent man and the race of the indecent man.” —Viktor Frankl
Working white heterosexuals are now the only group it is socially permissable to mock and insult. In fact, it’s even encouraged.
A friend I work with was asked how he feels when people don’t treat bim right because of his color.
I interrupted and informed them the premise was stupid, as this fellow is from Ghana:
You are implying a condition one has supposedly lived with all their lives.
This fellow is from Africa and happy to live in a land of boundless opportunities.
Black people live in American and have a chip on their shoulder...
Affirmative action is one of many, did he forget about that?
