Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) spoke to supporters at the Netroots Nation organizing conference in Philadelphia last week where she discussed the “enormous amounts of white privilege” she has experienced. “A community has been left behind for generations because of the color of their skin,” Gillibrand stated to the small crowd of supporters. “Institutional racism is real.”
Gillibrand went on to discuss what she believed to be institutional racism against black mothers during child birth, claiming that they are less likely to live through a complicated childbirth than white women.
Speaking to Daily Mail afterwards, Gillibrand expounded on the remarks she made at the forum.
“There is a deference that is given to whiteness in society today. And, you see it all the time,” Gillibrand told Daily Mail.
Gillibrand also discussed one of her black staffers and said she watches “how she’s treated” when they travel together.
“I travel with a woman who’s black, I watch how she’s treated when we walk into a hotel room, into a hotel to check in. I watch how she’s treated in a restaurant. I watch how whether the person who’s taking her order listens to her order and gets it right,” Gillibrand said.
“I’ve sat with black Americans, and they’re literally not listened to,” Gillibrand added.
Asked by Daily Mail whether she had benefited from being a white woman, Gillibrand responded, “Absolutely.”
“I don’t think you can overstate the reality of institutional racism in society today,” Gillibrand stated. “I really don’t think you can overstate it. It is so prevalent. It is in healthcare, it is in education, it’s in the economy, it’s in the criminal justice system.”

Did Fauxcahontas benefit from her whiteness?
White liberals are the snake.
No, you’ve benefited because you were responsible, didn’t have 6 kids out of wedlock, and didn’t become a drug dealer, crack ho, or gang member. THAT’s what so-called “white privilege” really is.
She is insane.
What a piss poor excuse for a human being.
“Say it loud...
I’m white and I ain’t proud”
To find out which “race” gives privilege, ask parents of mixed little children what race (can only choose ONE still) they put on the child’s public school enrollments.
NO PARENT OF A MIXED RACE CHILD PUTS WHITE. Not a single one. Because we believe there will be more privileges given to another race.
It means she has NO ONE supporting her & she is delusional.
The only way I can atone for my whiteness is to give away my neighbors' money.
Cool. Give all your money to some one black or shut up you hypocrite.
But more so, what’s between your legs
God, what BS.
Look, when your act civilized, people treat you as such, they delight in your company and will accommodate you, via golden rule.
However, when you act like a boorish, uncouth SOB, regardless of your skin color, you are going to be treated as such.
And there is plenty of evidence to support how certain demographical “peculiarities and idiosyncrasies” have led to that defensive posture that Ms. Gillibrand is bemoaning.
Ah Ha - Netroots Nation in Philadelphia last week - helps explain the large demonstration against Trump’s planned immigration sweeps in downtown Philly last week - pretty impressive until you find out it was probably fueled primarily by a bunch of out-of-town crazies brought together by a hatred of Trump to begin with......
No you haven’t Kirsten. You are a goofy dumb beeyotch. That ain’t no benefit.
She should renounce her sex too. How many doors were opened to her because of makeup, hair, clothes? She should dress like a day laboring male and see what good skin color does you.
You can cut the racial pandering with a knife.
Has she benefited from her late conversion to Anti-Americanism?
And Obama benefitted because of his blackness, what’s your point?
