Throughout academia, corporate world, and government, leaders are pushing the notion that American society advantages whites and disadvantages blacks. The notion of white privilege, though, is mistaken, thereby rendering worthless much of the teaching and underlying research.
In 1989, Wellesley College’s Peggy McIntosh published her influential article, “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.” This article tied in with a group she founded, Seeking Educational Equity & Diversity (SEED). Since 1986, SEED has trained 2,200 teachers and professors in more than 40 countries. As a result, her work has influenced and will continue to influence millions of students.
The notion of white privilege intersects with other areas of teaching and research, including Critical Race Theory, white fragility, and whiteness studies. For example, Westfield State University’s Robin DiAngelo’s book, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism (2018) focuses on white people’s defensiveness when their whiteness or racial worldview is mentioned. It was a bestseller for more than a year. It along with other books form a new canon of literature focusing on racism, white defensiveness, and white privilege. Other books include Ibram X. Kendi’s How to Be an Antiracist (2019) (24 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list), Carol Anderson’s White Rage (2016) (won the 2016 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism), and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me (2015) (twice topped the bestseller list and was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize).

its white women that is driving all this race garbage.....thats who got obama elected..they are gonna be the death of this nation, im tellin ya.
The only privilege around today is leftist privilege as Democrats collude with MSM on risky schemes to fundamentally change America into a third world country. But they aren’t alone in running blue areas into the ground. I watched a video on ****hole cities run by leftists around the globe, and you can check it out in crawler link top of page at Whatfinger News. The answer to this problem is to stop letting communists steal elections. Between the communist card and the black card and the gay card and all of the other cards they play, left wingers have stacked the deck.
Left wing white women, sure. Not all of them.
Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing the ‘black Superman’ movie for DC. Ugh.
The only ‘fragility’ around is brown fragility, specifically left wing brown fragility.
Certainly there are a substantial number of white women(leftist) pushing this crap but there are plenty of blacks who also push this.
I guess there is some white privilege, I mean the Clintons have Arkancide but all the Obamas have is the stinkeye.
You can debate whether we would have gotten here, anyway, but you can't deny they were right.
Intelligence and civility mean nothing.
Ideas like this are just another whacky sub category of leftist church of woke.
White privilege isn’t a myth- its a reality. It’s code for work ethic and moral standards that lazy people do not understand and want to demonize.
‘Not all of them.’
however, taken as a collective whole, there is no group of voters that are more subject to self guilt and social hand wringing than white women; the blanket statement holds true...
As Bill O’Reilly says, it is “father privilege” - and he’s right. Look at how almost every other non-white group that enters the US quickly leaves Americans blacks behind, and look at the common thread - even many African and Caribbean blacks move ahead due to “father privilege”. On the flip side, look at how (on average) people of ANY color fare in a “matriarchal” arrangement...
George Wallace would be surprised to see black leaders desperately trying to entice whites to return to black areas (simply to pay the bills).
I actually know several women from Jamaica and Nigeria who have moved to my area to work in the public schools. They have all told me they forbid their daughters from dating “American blacks” or from socializing with them. And before you ask, all 5 of these women are married and their husbands came with them and have all found jobs in the area as well.
“White Privilege” is a creation of the Black Entitlement industry. Over the past 50 years, they’ve demanded, and received, preferences in hiring and in school admissions, as well as financial subsidies of nearly every aspect of their lives. They’ve squandered every advantage that’s been handed to them, all at the expense of whites. If they’re looking for the cause of racism, they need only look at themselves, and their constant demands for more.... of everything.

It’s also weasel code for
” hey whitey ! Go to the back of the Fed hiring line !! “
My white privilege included married, stable parents, hard work, living within your means, no drugs and marriage for over 59 years.
