NEW HAVEN THE recent reunion show for the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live re-aired a portion of Eddie Murphys 1984 classic White Like Me skit, in which he disguised himself to appear Caucasian and quickly learned that when white people are alone, they give things to each other for free.

White privilege: that which gives non-whites someone else to blame for their own shortcomings or failures.
“I am so tired of all this BS.”
Indeed..... I suffer from CRFS (Chronic Racial Fatigue Syndrom).
True story.
I went to college as an adult in my early 40’s. I met a woman in her 40’s also who was a nursing student. We became friends and she asked me to stand up for her at her wedding, which I did.
One day during a discussion...don’t recall what the discussion was about now, but I do remember telling her that I really didn’t give a flip about her dang color. She was half white and half black. She was simply my friend and that’s what was important to me. She commented back “I wish you did care’’ (about her color).
Well, her son had conceived two children with a gal, and my friend refused to acknowledge those children as her grand children because the gal and her son were not married, AND because she wasn’t impressed with her son. He was not her favorite child.
Eventually the couple broke up and she began to date my son, and they married. My friend died of cancer. So, I inherited her grandchildren as my own grandchildren..and THAT is what “I” like to call ‘white privilege’. They think I am their grandmother! And that’s alright with me cuz I love those kids to pieces!
*******
White privilege...I sure could use some of that :\
Or is that whatcha call it when white men die to free black slaves?
Maybe more black people are scammers and criminals.. and people aren’t as accepting of them because of that... Statistics back me up on this one....
So does this mean we overlook crimes by every other race to balance out this “privelege” thing? Don’t shake our heads when they call each other names that are slurs if said by a white person?
Keep on dividing, NYT... You may not like the end result.
Correction: white LIBERAL priviledge.
You know, the kind of privilege that white liberal racists enjoy, that calls anyone racist or homophobic for warning blacks about abortion and homosexual impotency.
Did he also discover that Blacks kill each other for sneakers?
As an NYCPD cop in the 1960s and 70s I can tell you that is 180 degrees wrong. I would arrest Blacks for crimes and they would walk out the next day. Whites, however, were held to a “higher” standard. White almost always got a tougher sentence and were convicted more frequently.
