Yeah, because my Irish grandparents, and my mother who spent part of her childhood living in a converted CHICKEN COOP, is some serious “white privilege”, isn’t it?

F U SJWs!

Name one non European cultured nation to which people are flocking to.

Singapore, to the extent that their immigration quotas permit. (Hey, what a concept!)

I say I don’t have white privilege, but my sister does. She named her white Mercedes SUV “White Privilege”.

For my entire adult working life, all I've experienced is affirmative action where white guys get passed over for other people.

All I've seen are Hollywood movies and TV programs that make white guys the bad guys.

All I've seen are network news organizations and Big Tech, all who push the message that being a white guy is not okay and who push the message that white guys are guilty and racist until proven otherwise.

If somebody asked me about white privileged, I'd tell them to go eff themselves.

It’s apparently Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness Privilege, with the emphasis on Liberty.

If you don’t buy into that, you ain’t got it...

Whole Foods. That’s your problem.

Whole Foods. That ‘s where asshat liberals shop.Totally avoid Whole Foods. They treat people with disabilities poorly.

I took my mother-in-law to Whole Foods in near Harvard Square. Liberals on steroids shop at Whole Foods. My M-i-l had a walker and these liberals were pushing her and knocking her over. I’ll never go into a Whole Foods again.

No. White privilege is all work.

What a horrible experience. I’m sorry you were put in that position. I feel instead that there is a black privilege of lower behavioral expectations. I say that with love to all my black friends and FReepers. A white couple could not get away with that kind of public anger, shaming, and outrage against a black man who mistakenly got in line in front of the white chick who was faced away from the line on her phone. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE.

I was in the ER one night with a sick kid, waiting with the hordes. The security guard came through the waiting room and told a woman she couldn’t use an outlet on the desk to charge her cell phone. Rather than saying “I’m sorry, Officer,” and removing her charger like we white people have to do, she was able to publicly scream at him using swear words and shaming him with her personal story and such. While she did still have to remove her charger, he just left her alone and no one said anything, just sat silently, while afterward she regaled her companion, in front of all these sick and injured people, in full colorful language, about how she was wronged. White people do not have the privilege of doing that in public.

I ask them if they believe in Natural Selection. Being Liberals they do. Then I tell them it’s no accident that the white man ended up on top of the food chain... it was nature that did that.

It’s really sad. 3/4 of my kids are nothing but white. I wanted a colorblind world. I thought that was what we were aiming for. Now I feel like my older kids already have a clue that it is not quite ok to be their skin color or have European ancestry. And that is wrong. Race is such a BS concept.

Really? What law establishes that? The law says we are all equal under the law. Must be your paranoia showing.

“I’m not white, idiot” - which happens to be true, though I do get mistaken for it - followed by using their own terms and vitriol about making racial assumptions and cultural appropriations, etc., against the person. Lots of fun to hand it back to them - and they’re not good at taking what they dish out, usually.

Thanks for your comments and story. These people at Whole Foods ruined my evening. I’m going to do a workout now and forget about it.
