In the aftermath of the chaos that erupted in Philadelphia as Eagles fans tore through the streets celebrating their Super Bowl victory, many could not help but notice the difference in how the public and officials reacted to riots by fans compared to those prompted by civil unrest.

...WHAT ISN’T A SIGN OF WHITE PRIVILEGE?

What could be more dripping of “White Privilege” than being able to afford to attend a Super Bowl?

Looking on the bright side, what would have happened if they’d lost?

Being black today, Shapiro concludes, grants privileges ranging from landing coveted college scholarships to becoming activists who can build careers on racial grievances.

As a great man said over a hundred years ago:

There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. - Booker T. Washington

Well said. It is also necessary to criticize and mock established Black political and pastoral “leadership”. These peope have been bought off and are obedient lapdogs for the Left. Over the past fifty years they have acquiesced to horrible Union controlled public schools for their children, murdering abortion clinics in their communities, hostility to law enforcement which has encouraged crime and facilitated drug use, and programs that have resulted in the dissolution of families. Trump should criticize the cold hearted low life’s ever chance he gets.

The best thing that could have happened to filthadelphia some years ago is that mayor who okeyed the bombing of that apartment to get the criminal trespassers out should have authorized the use of nukes not dynamite.

Some times at work I have to pick up trash on one site or another, and every time I see a dime bag lying on the ground, I think of Black Privilege ...

The looters in New Orleans benefited from black privilege, a special exemption that allows some people to get away with crimes in order to secure votes for the ruling party.

Hate to say it but they have a point. All the punks you see behaving badly are pale faces. So far Ive heard nothing on arrests.

No, it’s just typical Philadelphia Eagles fans. That’s how they roll.

Nothing says winning like a mouthful of horses**t.

I agree with your sentiment. I did not see the entire game but I did see 6 or 7 commercials. Most were SJW messaging and/or featured minority (read that as ‘black’) actors.

My very liberal BIL calls it ‘NBN’ (Nothing But N***o) TV. So it would seem ...

Europeans are shocked when you tell them that blaks are only 12-14% of the US population. They think it’s 50-50%...................

So how many freeways were blocked? How many people were killed? What was the “ransom” the rioters were demanding?

Yeah, I thought so. As for the entire structures that were knocked down, well hell, Mel, how many guys can fit in a porta john safely?

Most importantly, did Jimmy Johns deliver?!

I live 10 miles outside Philly and take in all local news. These incidents were few and far between by some idiots looking for a reason to express their idiocy, but to suggest there were riots is idiocy on par. Happens in every city that wins. There are always idiots among you. Look around.

I watched ch29 in Philly from New England.
Thousands and thousands of exuberant fans of all races celebrating a great long sought win
and a few a$$holes acting stupid have the uninformed calling it a riot.
What a joke.

Loved those on Fox commenting on how it made no sense to “celebrate” with violence and destruction....willing to bet no other network had folks talking “bad” like that....

Please, the ghetto people simple used the win as an EXCUSE to tear up the city. Civilized people should react negatively to riots in general.

Because black people never riot? Is that their argument?
