The myth is used as a mechanism to transfer rights, opportunities, power, and money from the allegedly privileged group to allegedly unprivileged groups.
I wish I had a dollar for all the times in my working life when people would see me on the street and offer me a really good job, just because I was white. College and a technical degree was really unnecessary due to my white privilege. It was all I ever needed to succeed in life. I could be half drunk and bedraggled, and folks were still trying to get me to take these good jobs! Didn’t need a resume!
The issue is a class privilege. If you have money you can do things
The left has decided there’s no such thing as a poor white person or rich black person
Oprah and Obama had and have white people that are servants. Yet the thet left would content the white servant has privilege over the black boss... it is absurd. In a way its degrading both to Black and White
It like saying a female boss can never sexually harass a male employee
You sure work hard, driving up the click count at Canada Free Press.
How much do you make per unique visit anyway?
Just curious.
Progressives have been waging war against the vestiges of our founding legacy Protestant culture via the clever proxy of race. If you take a sample of the rhetoric and do a cluster analysis, where do groups cluster?
The clusters are always various victim groups and their counter-party is always some form of “white”. The most vicious and hated counter-party is that of “white male”, and the more “angry” the better.
But to what end? I think to drive anything and anyone related to Christianity out of academia, the public square and public discourse.
Once you realize the game, you can stop being played by it.
white privilege is another libtard form of inequality of opportunity. It is an excuse for parasite losers to gain the unearned, the undeserved, and something for nothing
It’s not “white privilege”.
It’s “Puritan work ethic”.
White privilege - the flip side of black self-destructiveness.....
Spread by racist progressives — sorry for the redundancy.
“My own personal experience as a white guy who came from a dirt-poor family is just one example.”
I grew up in what I considered a pretty solid middle-class home. Decades later, I watched the movie “Winter’s Bone”; the main character lived in something depicted as near-poverty conditions. I mentally ticked off the various criteria constituting & defining her poverty ... then realized I’d lived in practically the same conditions, just without the compact by-choice squalor: wood heat, large garden, garage-sale toys, no A/C, etc.
Long story short: we were anything but “poor” even though we lived (most excellently) everything the “poor” denigrate as “poor”; eventually life culminated in my wife & I earning 5 degrees at significant schools for a grand total of under $150k (cash up front).
Color doesn’t matter.
Behavior does.
When anyone mentions white privilege to me I tell them to go look at the Wall in DC. That’s where I left mine.
