I would rather sit through a two hour root canal than this two hour movie.

Why should I care about the “plight” of black students at an Ivy League school?

White privilege is just another name for the economic, technical and natural institutional leadership that comes from 2-3000 years of social and cultural evolution. This is where habits, values, abilities and knowledge conducive to building a modern advanced culture are gained and pressed on succeeding generations. It takes that many years to go from aboriginal ism or post-aboriginalism to what we have today when you are on your own. Those who were brought into our society by any means were given a chance to gain the same in a much shorter time.

This white privilege crap is at best an attempt to advance people by making victims out of people, and that does not work. At worst(most likely) It is an attempt to clientize and patronize the supposedly aggrieved parties. This just empowers very upper class urban cosmopolitan libs and assorted socialists and communists.

Yes ... we have “privilege”. To quote PJ O’Rourke, “Every hippy-dippy thing that’s thought up — from heroin addiction to special vegan lunch lines in the local high school cafeteria — I get to pay for.”

I’m really starting to see why so many people are moving overseas.

>>But the most important moment in the film is when Samantha White, defines racism: “Black people can’t be racist, she says. “Prejudiced, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a systemic advantage based on race. Black people can’t be racists since we don’t stand to benefit from such a system.”<<

It is sad blacks perpetuate such racist beliefs and are never called out on them.

Dear black people:

1. get an education.

2. get a good job.

3. have children in an intact family , and get married before you have kids.

4. stop listening to Sharpton and Jackson, aka the Cheech and Chong of race relations.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

A fictional account of racism doesn’t count as proof of racism.

It has already been done:

"We don't have to bother with these formalities, now do we, Mr. White?"
