AMEN!
Jim,
Your best post ever. Thanks.
Amen!
A privilege is something you earn. You learn this as a child — liking getting to play outside because your indoor chores are done. Or going to the lake on the weekend because your homework and projects are up to date. Or getting to drive Dad’s car because you got good grades.
Losing them works similarly.
Complete and utter claptrap from these folks.
I completely agree with you. This is exactly what I am teaching my children. I am a first generation Asian LEGAL immigrant, and I enjoy all the privilege that is supposedly exclusive to whites. Personal Responsibility, Hard work and respect for the law (all part of the Judaeo Christian values) makes you privileged, to enjoy the American dream.
They wore out the race card from over-use. Hence, they created privilege to try and shut up those who adhere to the values you listed. So far, only the weak-minded buy into this - a friend of mine who I have known for decades and who has steadily become more liberal tried to pull privilege on me the other day and is no longer someone I care to associate with. Let them spew their nonsense in their bubble chamber.
On another thread, there is a discussion about the "appropriateness" of "patriotic" services in churches. The following is my post to that site, and it relates to the things you have said here, so I will repeat it below:
As we have begun, of late, to react to the movement in the late 1800's then self-identifying as a "liberal" movement (though not of the classical liberal interpretation), which has become the driving force in American politics under its new and preferred moniker, "Progressive," we have been compelled to recognize it for what it always has been, a deliberate and contrived effort to undermine and overthrow the great principles underlying the philosophy of America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution.Such a "Liberal/Progressive" undertaking was initiated and has been led by many in the so-called "academic" community from the start, as can be documented easily for any whose interest and concern for preservation of the Constitution and its protections for religious liberty motivates them.
Removing any vestiges of religion from the "public square," or any vestiges of so-called "political speech" from religious spaces seems to have been a pet cause for radical "progressives." Why?
Are such ideological cultists so threatened by ideas conveyed by Judeo/Christian communities that they would exclude them from participation in our Republic's matters of state?
This thread aims at another facet of the discussion. For more perspective on the topic of this thread, readers might wish to review Professor Ellis Sandoz's Volumes on Political Sermons of the American Founding Era . . . ." - here.
Query: if sermons from the pulpit are dangerous to the Constitution, and if they are to be excluded from appropriate political debate, then why were these Sermons which pre- and post-date the Constitution, as published by Professor Sandoz, not criticized by the Founders themselves and/or subsequent Supreme Court decisions?
Just asking.

Great post! My favorite response to "White Privilege" is to point out the Asian exception. If whites are oppressing all other races to advance their interests, then how is it that a race that was actually oppressed both by the common man and by the force of law was able to rise to the same level of success as the white devil in a mere generation?
As a white male I admit I have “privilege” ... not because I am white, or because I am male, but utterly and entirely because I had TWO PARENTS, A FATHER AND A MOTHER, who supported me and cared for me and disciplined me when needed. That, in and of itself, makes me more “privileged” than 75% of blacks born in this country.

I have trained many black persons also inflicted by white privilege. They pursue self responsibility in working hard for home and life ownership, while laughing at the Democrat con job of misery disguised as progress.
White privilege is part of the overall “People Privilege” denouncing leftist dependency and pursuing success of ownership in life. Because only exceptional nations like America have that privilege of liberty.
Free Republic is Support Group for People Privilege!
So, what about Non-White Privilege, which is earned (?) by being unproductive, stupid, lazy, breaking the law and hating one’s country? Eh? Now THAT is real privilege! Whitey doesn’t have any - he gets to work, invent, create, obey the law, and is certified as privileged. For that, he is accused of racism and college professors call for killing Whitey after taking all his money.
You knocked it out of the park!
It’s not white privilege, it’s a spirit of independence and it’s available to everybody.
White Privilege is nothing else but good old fashioned American Privilege.
Get an education. Get married. Stay married.
It’s really as simple as that. Follow this tried and true formula and you will achieve the American Dream.
Yet, the racists, bigots and haters here in the US refuse to buy into this and so they label this as white privilege. Despite the fact that many - if not most - blacks and minorities follow this example and share in this privilege.
white privilege is an excuse libtard losers use to gain the unearned, undeserved, and something for nothing
Perfectly stated.
I posted on Facebook.
Thanks for reminding us what a great privilege it is to be an American.
Excellent post !
