A display in a University of Minnesota residence hall provides an 11-point “checklist” to help students identify their “white privilege.”
The “White Privilege Checklist,” found hanging in Mark G. Yudof Hall and photographed by a current student, features 11 statements that ostensibly apply exclusively to white people.

It summarizes 1492-1875 during the first week.
“I still consider myself a social progressive but I am quite frankly appalled by the double standard applied to free speech as of late,” he asserted.
A social conservative is a social progressive who has been mugged.
Black boards are gone. Replaced by white boards.
Books printed on white paper.
School takes place during the day. Not at night when it is black.
It means that our modern world, all things great - be they and or good- have been brought about or created by, European Men.
Take up the White man’s burden —
Send forth the best ye breed —
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives’ need;
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild —
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Man’s burden —
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times mad plain.
To seek another’s profit,
And work another’s gain.
Take up the White Man’s burden —
The savage wars of peace —
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch Sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Man’s burden —
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper —
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living,
And mark them with your dead!
Take up the White man’s burden —
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard —
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light: —
“Why brought ye us from bondage,
“Our loved Egyptian night?”
Take up the White Man’s burden —
Ye dare not stoop to less —
Nor call too loud on freedom
To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your Gods and you.
Take up the White Man’s burden —
Have done with childish days —
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!
- Rudyard Kipling
If a KKK member is wearing a white robe and hood, is it what he is wearing or who he is that makes him a racist?
go to any place where there is a high percentage of blacks, and you’ll find that gas stations require payment before pumping gas, and the cashier is behind bullet proof glass.
“. . . white schoolchildren experience privilege through exposure to “curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.”
I’ve been trying to think if ever in 20+ years of school anyone said that someone was White. I remember plenty of people described as Black.
Black Privilege
1- I can get admitted to colleges or hired for jobs ahead of much more qualified candidates based solely on the color of my skin.
2- I can say or do racist things and never be called a racist.
3- I can have a crappy attitude, show up late, disrespect customers and keep my job when others would be fired.
4- The color my skin means that no matter what I do, there will always be a lare group of people who will come to my defense.
5- Whenever I fail or if something doesn’t go my way I can always blame racism so its not my fault.
6- Whenever someone says something I don’t want to hear or disagree with, I can always shut them up by calling them racists.
7- Even though I have nothing but hatred for white people they still pay for all my needs.

All of the items on the board are from a 2-page list entitled, “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh. You can google it. One of my college students was assigned to write an essay on it. This is part of the indoctrination and brainwashing that is taking place on college campuses.
Stereotyping, which is often the result of behavior by various people groups, can sometimes be problematic to individuals. But people outside that group are often NOT the ones who caused the stereotype to occur.
Whites are often stereotyped, by minorities, as all being racist. That is a huge stigma that we have to deal with, but the minorities never seem to think of that. Also, American minorities have the HUGE privilege of never being thought of as being racist, even though they often are. The minorities never seem willing to acknowledge that as being a HUGE privilege that they have.
Is “It’s doing awesome, thanks for asking” on the checklist?
Very good list. And one that will NEVER be acknowledged by any Lib or college prof.
The phrase "reverse racism" presupposes that racism only goes in one direction. I submit that the phrase itself is inherently racist.
“Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial responsibility,” the next bullet point says”

At age 30, dressed like the artist I am, I went to the main office of a prominent bank, where I had an account, to deposit a $5k cashiers check. I was funneled from a teller to the assistant to a VP and the condescension was palpable. Obviously, they could not believe I had come by that check honestly.
On the way to the VP’s office, we passed a painting by Helen Frankenthaler. I stopped to look at it and just breathed her name, as she is/was one of my idols. The sneering assistant, who was younger than I was, said: “How would someone like you know that?” I just answered, “I’m an artist.”
Was I discriminated against? Was it my floppy black hat? Was it that I looked younger than I was? It had nothing to do with skin color, that I know for a fact.
Anyway, they accepted my check, after a phone call, began treating me with respect and the next day I wrote a check to another bank for the entire contents of the account and closed it. Permanently. Never dealt with them again.
You have it licked : )
Magna Carta, Age of Reason, Industrial Revolution, renaissance, Christianity, ALL The major Inventions, White privilege all of the Scientists in the 1700s, heh he
The one stereotype I see everywhere is that many blacks view whites as infinitely superior to them intellectually. Much of this nonsense flows from their inferiority complexes, which are crushing.
I live between Newark and Jersey City in NJ, and receive flyers from various restaurants that will deliver in neighboring towns but only north Newark (predominantly Hispanic). Cabs don’t want to go into the Deep Ghetto because too many have the fare simply hop out and run into a welfare hive/housing project.
Remember when actor Danny Glover couldn’t hail a cab in NYC? That story died a quick death when it became clear that many cabbies refusing to pick him up WERE BLACK. Even if they recognized him, they probably figured he wouldn’t tip them anyway.../s
To sum it up: Nobody is allowed to have any expectations of me at all, and they will be prosecuted if they do. Just hand me diplomas, certificates, degrees...and money.
