And the guy from the ACLU wants to shoot Trump voters. This is always the logical progression of Fascism. Those who oppose you don’t deserve rights and respect and so you can use violence to force them to do what you want. Liberalism has been trending this way for years but it really accelerated under “bring a gun; get in their faces” Obama.

PEG is a good example of allowing ideology to triumph over reality. Their understanding of basic human nature is completely submerged in their miasma of wishful thinking and political correctness.

What they should be teaching instead is that whites SHOULD have privilege, and that blacks need to learn how to act white, if that were possible

More committees? Yeah that’s the ticket. How about bring back the “board” of education and recognize God’s purpose and word.

Whites in our society are invested with a tremendous advantage, and it's long past time to own up to it.

Here is white privilege in a nutshell: My brothers, sisters and I all had one father. He lived in our house and was faithful to my mother until the day she died.

Blacks need to acquire that privilege, too.

This is Minnesota Public School teachers. You have to hit them much harder than this to knock some sense into them.

White Privilege is the new “Global Warming”, something that everything can be blamed on.

Exactly what tangible benefit did we get from desegregation? I’d really like to know.

Every time I’ve asked that question, all I get is opinions, feelings, and called a “racist” just for asking the question. Everyone always spouts off about the great achievements of the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King, but, really what benefit has the country as a whole, gotten?

Well, when it was not found that the perpetrators of this violence had not consumed any Twinkies, I guess white privilege was the next excuse.

You nailed it. However, note that the terms change when confronted with reality. Global Warming has now become Climate Change. Here in the flyover Midwest, we call it "Seasons." LOL!

“What they should be teaching instead is that whites SHOULD have privilege, and that blacks need to learn how to act white, if that were possible”

I disagree. It is not about acting white, it is about what works. All races have used a simple formula to get out of poverty and succeed in life.

The Brookings Institution, a liberal think tank, found that 98% of poor people who follow a simple formula were able to move out of poverty.

Finish your education
Get a job
Get married
Buy a house
Have children

If you do those things in that order, 98% of poor people move up the economic ladder.

It’s what works!

May I change/expand your wording? Rather than “own up to it,” I would say it is time for others to “accept it,” along with we who take good behavior for granted.
Also, I believe that it is not an “acquired privilege,” it is an earned privilege. Indeed, blacks need to earn the privilege too.
You and I had exactly the same experience growing up. Stable home environments produce “privileged” sons and daughters.

If every school kid was given a laptop and a provider account and told to go home and have fun on the Internet, they’d probably test out higher than their brick and mortar colleagues. School is an unutterable bore and teaches damned little that can be applied directly to the issues of everyday life. What school curriculum teaches how to buy a house, how to open a bank account, how to get a job, how to choose a career, how to raise a child, how to contact their govt. representatives, how to buy insurance, what issues are faced in growing old, how to comparison shop, and a host of homemaking skills that we leave up to social osmosis.

I have a better idea. Let the unruly disruptive brats who do not want to be there, leave school and get a job, join the military, or get started on their go-to-prison plan, or whatever it is they want to do. I think we should develop a basic competency examination for these so-called students, and if they pass that examination, they get a certificate of competency, and are allowed to leave school if they wish. What is the point of forcing these ungrateful dunces to stay in school and waste everybody’s time and money?

More and more America’s rules are being set by the most ignorant members of the population. You can guarantee any social policy established by liberals will end in disaster.

"White Privilege is the new “Global Warming”, something that everything can be blamed on."

Yup.

It will be used to explain Black incompetence and failure anywhere in the world.

Wait till the UN has a go with this idea.(arm yourself now)
