Stolen Valor, as defined in the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 (H.R. 258), is the fraudulent claim of military award or decoration with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit from convincing someone that he or she did rightfully receive the award or decoration.
I wish to coin a phrase and concept: Stolen Privilege. This is the fraudulent claim of racial composition with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit from convincing someone that he or she was a particular race.
In the last year, we have heard incessantly about White Privilege. This is defined as having societal privileges or having advantages in America -- indeed, the entire Western world -- just for being white. So, let us consider the privileges associated with being colors other than white? There are advantages, financial and otherwise, to claiming Native American status. There are advantages, financial and otherwise, to claiming African American status.
One can cogently argue that these other-than-white Privileges are a requisite offset for decades of systemic oppression. I don't disagree. But still, privileges they are, and they are afforded on the basis of color.
One of these privileges is the tendency of NAACP groups to hire, as their Chapter President a man or woman of color. Rachel Dolezal was hired as the Spokane Chapter President of the NAACP, and she remained Chapter President for a very long time, with the understanding that she was black -- even though she was white all along.
Rachel Dolezal is guilty of Stolen Privilege.
Senator Elizabeth Warren has claimed Native American Ancestry several times, most recently in a book "A Fighting Chance", even though her claims have been debunked many times and by many groups.
Senator Elizabeth Warren is guilty of Stolen Privilege.
I would never advocate that ‘Stolen Privilege’ should ever be made into a prosecutable law -- we have far too many laws, and far too many of them border on criminalizing simple foolishness -- but I do advocate that Stolen Privilege should be a concept used to mock and shame those who abuse the truth in a quest for money or power.
I tend to agree with you. I think a lot of good is going to come out of this. The last thing the left and the grievance community can tolerate is ridicule.
A new concept.
Stolen Privilege.
This is political judo. Use the left’s own concepts against them.

Yep, that’s it!
She has exposed, and therefore gutted, the Victimhood spoils system that divides us by setting different standards for people based on their “group” and relative degree of victimhood.
They REALLY hate the idea that the REAL privileges afforded to minorities/victims got exposed at the same time they’re doubling down on their accusations of “white privilege”.
Right on Man!
Dunno what this is about, but the thing that makes “white privilege” go is gladly shared by 99% of those who benefit...
And that’s called a sincere Judeo-Christian belief system.
Sometimes viewed as redneck.
But, rednecks can come in many colors.
What’s probably going to happen in response is a lot of wailing that Dolezal and maybe a handful of others have benefited, and so okay they will be more careful in future.
Well, except that doesn’t quite cover the troublesome case of “transsexual.”
And even with “gay marriage” then who is playing “wife” — hey I thought they were supposed to be compensatorily privileged too, so why should a fellow benefit?
Well said, fully agree.
They should also be shamed and mocked for their lack of integrity, of course with leftists that is all too often a badge of accomplishment.
My wife is looking at me with a very puzzled look on her face. Maybe it’s because I can’t stop laughing? Awesome, and just the right length too. Oops. There I go again... Right length... Sheez. I slay me sometimes. Whew!
The other day, Riley posted about Rachel Dolezal this quip: "Stolen Pallor"
What is "White Privilege" anyway?
Who considers it a "privilege" to get their ass out of bed every day, go to work for a living, have 50-60% of their earnings taken from them in some form of Federal, State, County, Property Tax, Income Tax, Sales Tax, Gasoline taxes and every other damn' type of tax one can think of?
Is it "white privilege" to have to live on less than 50% of what one earns, and find a way to feed a family, put a roof over their heads, pay for secondary/College educations (because WHITE PRIVILEGE denies FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID to WHITE KIDS) and with whatever pennies are left over, to save for retirement?
Retirement?! WHAT F'N RETIREMENT! Who can retire when the rat voting, government cheese eating welfare queens with their 7-10 welfare babies who's baby daddies are long gone just keep voting for the G** DAMN Democrats to take what little I have left for myself ...and all in the name of "fairness."
THAT "WHITE PRIVILEGE?!" F*** THAT!
What they’re pointing out as “privilege” is simply the observable natural results of adhering the the Judeo-Christian value system.
For that, she gets a WELL DONE ..now roll over and get some color on the other side, b*tch.
I just found out that Lie-a-Martin-Luther-King was in Baltimore during the big riots protesting.
Heard the clip on Savage’s show.
Unbelievable.
Really solid info.
I like this editorial.
Stolen Privilege, Handout Hijacker, Conning Collectivists, Trojan Mare, Snakeskin Socialist, etc., etc.
LOL! Well-said, Laz.
ROFLMAO! Thanks, ‘Angel
That graphic is simply stunning.
