Democrats say white people are 'privileged' and say it like it's a bad thing.
Well, if they'd open their eyes, they'd see that we are ALL privileged to be living in America, the greatest and freest nation ever divinely inspired and created on earth. We see very few people fleeing America or asking for asylum elsewhere. But we do see millions risking their lives trying to come here, even illegally.
But then they might complain that white people in general may be more privileged than others. Guess they haven't noticed that most white people are middle class working people, many now former democrats. And there are also millions of poor and 'underprivileged' white people as well. Whites are not all privileged country clubbers.
I've also noticed that there are a lot of very successful blacks, Hispanics and other 'people of color' who are just as well off and therefore 'privileged' as any other American, regardless of skin color.
Hmmm... I've also noticed a lot of the democrats pushing the notion that all whites are 'privileged' just happen to be (God bless them) well educated lawyers and professional people and a heck of a lot of them are privileged enough to be walking in the halls of congress or elsewhere in the government (or powerful non-profits) where their privilege, influence and power (if corrupted by their anger and obviously biased views against equality for all) might be detrimental to the constitutional rights of others.
I doubt it's just coincidence that people who strive to become educated, strive to be good citizens, strive to remain independent and gainfully employed, get married and stay married, purchase a home and, as man & wife (two parents as God intended), raise their children and instill within them the same Judeo-Christian patriotic American values that made them successful whether black, white or whatever.
In America, we are all privileged and constitutionally guaranteed to share an equal right (granted by God) to the pursuit of happiness, ie, to be just as independent (free), happy and successful as our brains, talents, wit, grit, determination, drive and desire can take us (God willing).
Our equal and inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are granted to each of us by our Creator. But notice the right to the pursuit of happiness requires action on our part. In other words, happiness, success, privilege, home, faith, education, work, family, children, even good health (to the extent we can personally influence it by living right) are all gifts that we must be more than willing to just accept as 'free,' ie, they're not necessarily all free gifts. They come with certain responsibilities and obligations. You must strive for and earn the happiness category of gifts you pursue. Happiness is not guaranteed.
Not only that, but even if you achieve certain levels of happiness items, they can easily be lost. For example, in a weak moment like today when Senator Booker said he would like to punch the president, you can damage or even lose your privilege. Incivility can cost you your happiness, your privilege, even your freedom.
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be"~~Abraham Lincoln
By the way, I also noticed that the accusation that all white people are privileged which took root when a black man was president has recently evolved into the charge that all white people are racists.
White privilege has nothing to do about skin color. It is all about character, attitude and belief in Christianity.
Amen! It’s a whole attitude change! Instead of feeling blessed and thankful to live here, they are angry and resentful that the government isn’t providing all.
privilege....
My great great grandfather (for whom I was named-—real name) enlisted as a teenager to fight in the Civil War. His father had arrived from Scotland. He was soon in the first of a number of the biggest battles but lived through them. He is buried here in Michigan and thus can’t give his views on Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib or other matters.
No person of color thanked such veterans for ending slavery.
As soon as those white Congressmen an Senators give up their positions, I might listen to them; no, I won’t.
I think we may just be alright after all, with the way the Left is behaving.
There is a tremendous backlash coming.
By election day the only thing the dems will be running on is their Trump hate and counting ‘ALL’ the votes.
I suggest you submit this to the American Thinker.
Jim,
I knew you were a powerhouse patriot, but lately you’re unbridled leadership out here has been truly inspirational!
Thanks brother.
Hell send this to Trump!!!
By the election the Dems will be saying that white people are irredeemably evil and that a solution needs to be found to the problem of whites oppressing everyone else. A final solution.
Privileged = hard working and responsible
The only people I see that are privelege dare the lifetime politicians who pass all the laws that they don’t have to abide by, and who use their lifetime positions to enrich themselves. And they come in all colors.
I just realized something after reading your post about an ad about a white male raping a black female. Obviously, white males have no weapon against kind of racial slander, which is why liberals do it. The liberals are incredibly angry and afraid as Americans come together aided by conservatives for the purpose of strengthening our civil society, that their biggest weapon, racial division, is being eliminated. So they have to try to go to the extremes in sowing racial strife.
Everyone in America has a privileged life. That’s why so many want to get in.
The Lesbian idiot, Rapinoe, this weekend stated that she didn’t figure that her protests would be an issue because she is white and not a “threat.” Obviously ‘white privilege” is a MYTH, because LOTS of people had an issue with her stupidity!
And she is a threat, because as a role model to many young athletes, they are now under the impression that you can run down and give the middle finger to your own company, town, state or country and not have to worry about any real repercussions!
It is stupidity like hers that occurs when weak-minded dolts believe the Liberal Left rhetoric! Or they attack ICE detention centers with Molotov cocktails because they actually believe that America is running “concentration camps!”
Another example of this Liberal minded lunacy are other professionals who talk bad about their current team or city or teammates and then they don’t understand why no other team, city or professional wants to work with them!! DUH!
Excellent idea....Dear Lady
We made it to the moon thanks to white men who didn’t have to smoke outside.
Hiya, dearest Clyde5445!
Oprah, a Black, is privileged thanks to a huge White audience and support of White people. This “white privilege” stuff is a joke and would only be true if there were no minorities who succeeded by their own initiative, and there are plenty.
When can we return to the fact that 70% + of America is white? We settled we built it that’s not privilege that is majority rule.
Remember also that white privilege also comes with white obligation and white civility.
This can be obviously displayed by our prison population or any story that starts with “Youths” and no names or pictures.
Lets except the fact that some people are bred to capitalism and others to tribe. Accept the differences and use them to excel.
A wolf is not a dog a dog is not a wolf yet we expect all versions of humans to have the same goals and morals.
