I wanted to know what white men thought about their privilege. So I asked (barf alert)

Because we can all use a little humor in our day. I don't know what's worse - the story or the libtard reader comments. Bonus points if you actually read to the end without vomiting

The body can not stand such a virulent cancer much longer, or it will kill us.

Some really strong chemotherapy is needed.

[gogulls]

black privilege is thinking it’s cool to get in the grills of white guys w/no expectation of consequence

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Another affirmative action zero.

I hesitated when I stood in line for a flight across the country, and a white man stepped in front of me. He was with another white man. “Excuse me,” I said. “I am in this line.” He stepped behind me but not before saying to his flight mate, “You never know who they’re letting into first class these days.”

10-to-1 that never happened.

These people make up stories of "racism" because racism is almost never found -- that is: almost never found outside the black community, where it s rampant.

Meet the people running your country.

If I was a liberal in 2019,
I’d be laughing and $h!tt!ng on everyone too.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I didn’t make it through the excerpt.
These people get paid for this garbage?

[Secret Agent Man]

Cwii must come, otherwise this idiotic socialist pc sh1t will destroy regular sane people.

[Paladin2]

Totally a Marxist Studies meme/trope.

[robowombat]

10-to-1 that never happened.

I agree, this is a fake story. There is nothing novel about a black person flying First Class.

[originalbuckeye]

Yep. Video, or it didn’t happen.

Libs continue to spew unrelenting CO₂?

"Perhaps this is why one day in New Haven, staring into the semicircle of oak trees in my backyard, I wondered what it would mean to ask random white men how they understood their privilege. "

How can she, a member of the elite intelligentsia, not be able to walk a few blocks over and show us how to "fix" New Haven?

[JBW1949]

This story is a definite admission of bias, bigotry and racism on the author’s part....

[newzjunkey]

I watched a youtube video of the Top song on Billboard from 2000-2009. It's an endless exercised in hip-hop and what passes for R&B in the 21st century. What's Black is what's cool. They refuse to acknowledge their impact on the culture and that impact is power.

I prefer to work with black women than white women. True story.

“You never know who they’re letting into first class these days.”

Of course it never happened. Anyone who flies first class knows exactly who gets let in...people who pay the fare (or who had enough frequent flyer miles to upgrade).

[Leaning Right]

> 10-to-1 that never happened. <

You are being way too generous. 1000-to-1 that it never happened. This is 2019, not 1889.

As a side note, it must be really easy being a racist black writer these days. You could make up any old thing, and then become a national celebrity because of it:

There I was, in a McDonalds. I had just picked up my hamburger order when a white man took it from me. “Hamburgers are for white people only,” he said with a sneer.

Trying to sell excuses for underachievement and failure.

Claudia, go have a look at the live streamers on twitch. You’ll see plenty of female privilege as the young women game streamers almost always get many more viewers than a comparable male streamer. I wonder why that could be?
