The writer, as an Asian, what is the privilege he enjoys in America?
Is he hunted why by white hispanics like Zimmerman?
Is he routinely stopped and frisked?
Is he watched diligently inside department stores for the threat of shoplifting?
Do people lock their car door when he walks across the street?
Do bartenders ask him for proof of age when he has gray hair?
And why do none of these things happen to our Asian writer, because he is not white, yet enjoys white privilege?
Yep. We’ve reached the part of this where it’s starts to get really easy to not care.
The unearned privilege of being railroaded by the media when defending yourself. The unearned privilege of having other less qualified people get the job you are trying for because they are not your skin color. The unearned privilege of being beaten to death in your retirement years because you are not black. And other such wonderful things...
I'd give them one "Get off my lawn!", and consider that more than generous.
Using the Left’s logic, what would anyone named Liu know about being white?
more like the reveal of the quest for black supremacy
the three fold strategy to silence and control white people.
1. yell racism at every white person you disagree with
2. use threats of violence
3 A. make a huge deal over it anytime a white guy is alleged to have committed a crime against a black person.
3 B. completely ignore the more commonplace black person committing a crime against a white person.
Contrarywise, blackness is assuming the mantle of dysfunction over the obvious success of the American norm.
I am decidely NOT Trayvon Martin. I am a white man. To the degree I think about it at all, I am proud of being a white man. My so-called “white privilege” includes the privilege of getting up every day and going to work and doing my job so I can get paid. It also includes the “privilege” of paying for hordes of ghetto spawn that DON’T work and DON’T get paid but who spend their days preying on me, my family, my friends, and my race.
My ancestors were given the “privilege” of farming a section of hardscrabble prairie in South Dakota. They did. Raised a family there. Taught their children and their children’s children old-fashioned values of thrift and hard work. My “privileged” father worked dawn to dusk in a slaughterhouse while my Silver Spoon mother luxuriated in a job as a bookkeeper and sold women’s shoes part time. Whenever the yacht was in drydock, she’d cook and clean for four sons and her husband.
I worked my way through high school, tech school, and college. Now, with what little the government lets me keep of my own money, I’m trying to put two daughters through college.
So thanks for the “privilege,” but frankly, I’ll pass.
1. Doesn’t it suck that racist white people, any time they see a black person walking the streets late at night, automatically fear that person because they think black people are more likely to be thugs? Obvious manifestation of white privilege.
2. Doesn’t it suck that sexist women, any time they see a man walking the streets late at night, automatically fear that person because they think men are more likely to be rapists? Obvious manifestation of female privilege.

A latino man posing as a white man has the idiots convinced the rest of the morons yet?
What the complainers about the verdict really mean when they complain that the Zimmerman verdict was "unjust" is that any white resisting any physical assault by a black should be punished to the full extent of the law. I will not be a slave to a black impulse! I'm hoping others feel the same.
I’m wondering when the anti-white pogroms are supposed to start?
This is par for their historic "mission." Because they have writers who manage a decent cadence, and cover a wide variety of subjects of public interest, they continue to draw readers. But they remain what they have been.

I am not priviledged for anything.
I work hard for everything I have and nobody ever gave me a damn thing, because I didn’t ask.
I didn’t set around and draw a goverment check ever a day in my life.
I earned it by the holes in my boots.
If someone doesn’t like that I am white they can shove it up their a$$. I don’t owe nobody a damn thing!
NOTHING!
Who the hell actually thinks like this? If someone wants to strike it rich, start making designer strait jackets. Many, many of them.

There are poor whites and lower middle white and middle whites and upper class whites. There are poor blacks and lower middle blacks and middle blacks and upper class blacks.
There are, however, more blacks in the poor category. Hussein and Holder can fix this and are on that path. When massive numbers of whites outnumber blacks in the poor category, then we will begin to approach fairness. Unfortunately, those massive numbers of whites who were once working and paying taxes, are not paying anymore.
Well, the rich must pay more to keep up with food stamps for the now many millions of poor whites and still the poor blacks. Soon, the rich won’t be rich anymore because no one has a job so can’t buy the products of the rich. Eventually, the rich are also poor. Now, we are really becoming FAIR. The only privileged class left is the blacks in government positions. NOW WE ARE FAIR.
Oh, I left out the homosexuals. They all died with AIDS or the new lung disease they get.
Until Hussein and Holder are blasted out of their positions, the above is not too difficult to believe.
So I actually responded online at the Time website and posted this, which got seven “likes” before it was buried in the 2,400 + other comments.
“The scariest thing about this writer’s outlook is how closely it matches the antisemetic Jew-hating from the previous century. A group of people with privilege are manipulating society and pushing everyone else around, controlling the money and power. Of course I’m saying that the end game here is genocide - we’re just at the inflammatory mob stage of this kind of thinking. The emotionalism and sheer insanity of the racists - and I include the writer in this category - is frightening to witness. Eventually someone will make the argument that the best way to deal with “privilege” is the wholesale theft from “whites” and just killing them because they are naturally “racist.” God help us.”
Someone commented back and wrote:
“This is exactly right. This is about dehumanization.”
The left has been formulating mass murder ever since the Committee for Public Safety scoured the streets of Paris to murder priests, nuns, and those who disagreed with them. They’ve told us their next target - after all, it’ll be easy to spot them just by looking. The thing that’s hard to believe are the numbers of white leftists who promote this kind of thinking, but, then again, Lenin didn’t emerge with the concept of “useful idiots” out of thin air.
Every racial group that has come to the United States has started at the bottom. They live in black neighborhoods when they get here because they can’t afford better. They go to crappy schools and somehow get educated. Then they work hard, start businesses, play fair and in a short time they join the American mainstream.
The reason blacks are still at the bottom has NOTHING to do with the endless ‘help’ they’ve been given. It is NOT the fault of white people, or of Asians, or Hispanics.
