Are you getting a bit fed up with our current style of ad hominem argumentation, in which in any discussion implicating issues of identity politics — and with all the metastasizing identities out there to choose amongst, virtually every discussion somehow manages to stray into that much-contested domain these days — a person “of color” will inevitably play the “white privilege” or “white fragility” card to compensate for the fact that they have never been taught the delicate art of respectfully taking issue with the actual merits of a position with which they disagree? If so, you have a choice:

When I was in college I marched with Dr.Martin Luther King and I recall he was later quoted about the content of character rather than the color of a person’s skin.

I am much older now so my agreement with his statement now appears to mark me as outdated among young people. Sad.

The world today was created by whites, everything in it was thought of by whites, and the culture is white and they simply can’t stand it.

What have blacks/browns contributed to any of it? Nothing except crime, poverty, and corruption. Everywhere they have settled with any significant population turns into a shi*hole within a few years.

It’s a man’s world, no doubt about it, and I revel in my male privilege!

An excellent contrast.

The Alinsky types who invented “white privilege” are pushing the concept of “black entitlement.”

A lot of people forget that Charlton Heston also marched with MLK Jr.

Yup, white privilege. Calculus, relativity, quantum physics, medicine, drugs, philosophy, engineering, and on and on.

That sort of crap comes from folks who couldn’t even pass the first level course in those subjects.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of non-white folks who very successful in these areas. I work with and am privileged to know these people.

However one can rest assured that none of the types who use the term “white privilege” are in that group.

Those types go under “dumbasses”.

The world today was built by people who came before us. Whatever race we are, we didn't get here on our own, and what we make of what we've been given, whatever race we are, depends on what we do with it from here on out.

Dreamed up by a white cartoonist, probably. There's some irony for you.

It was hilarious when SNL had the Wakanda guy on Black Jeopardy and he answered the clues very idealistically, making everybody roll their eyes.

IF all the ‘White Privilege’ is reduced & all the “Black Entitlement” is increased...

Where is the tipping point where there will be no more people paying the taxes to support the “Black Entitlement”???

I am white—78—female—and I have held some jobs that no black could or would hold. I am beyond sick & tired of all their crying & complaining. Next one can TRY to come to MY DOOR with their complaints. Invaders are not very welcome in rural America.

Who’s entitling the black? Are the blacks doing it themselves or are the whites entitling them?

Yes to #40, I’m sick of it. You can guarantee every time you hear on TV, “We need to have a conversation about XYZ...” that it’s a SJW/BLM type essentially telling you to shut up and that you don’t have a right to your own opinion. They can shove their “dialog” and “conversation” fascist preaching techniques.
