I wonder if they’ll have Black Privilege wrist bands for Oprah, Herman Cain, LeBron James, and many other highly successful Blacks who overcame the Democrats’ welfare-created subservient society and rose to high levels of success, doing so through hard work, perseverence, and gumption. Oh, maybe I’m wrong. The Libs thinks there’s no opportunities for minorities. Tell it to Dave “Famous Dave” Anderson, a Native American who created a highly successful chain of Famous Dave’s Barbecue Ribs restaurants.

put a note on your mirror or computer screen as a reminder to think about privilege

Like a prayer reminder?

Lord, thank you for the hard work and perseverance of my Christian ancestors who, through their faith in You, forged a great nation from a wilderness and spread freedom and prosperity to more peoples of every race and creed than any nation before them. Thank you, Lord, for the privilege of being the heir to their faith, ethics and morality. Help us to reclaim the thing which made our people great: hard work, standing firm against evil and most of all devotion to You. Amen.

I wonder if that's what the good folks in Wisconsin meant?

Well, the only way “white privilege” affected me is that when I was born into poverty, and steeped in the culture of entitlement and class envy, I was not also constantly told that I was poor because of racism.

I wonder how much that additional indoctrination affects the overall poverty culture that all poor people are subjected to. Does it make poor non-whites less likely to break out of poverty than poor whites? Or is the overall poverty culture a strong enough disincentive to succeed that adding the racism component does not significantly change the chance of breaking out?

Next month they can slip on a second wrist band which is Black to denote that everything they do in school will still result in whites being denied Equal Opportunity for Employment due to racial set asides and racial preferences. The following month they can add a third wrist band that is Rainbow colored to denote that Gender Preferences further negate Equality. Finally, the forth month they can add a pair of handcuffs which are silver and made of nickel to denote their voluntary consent to be enslaved by Political Correctness.

Yes I have Caucasian Privilege. I have the privilege to work every day for 35 plus years to provide welfare to generations of welfare receivers while facing increasing taxation and the potential that MY MONEY (social security) will not be there for me to someday retire...... Thanks for the Privilege!

Have a few of kids publicly call them “white pride” wristbands instead, and it will send the educrats who thought of this scurrying back to their holes for a new idea.

It’s been evident in the army for a long time. When NCO’s are sent to school to be “EO” reps they are given a class called “The White American Experience” which begins with a statement that whites have been a privileged class in America.

Commanders are required to submit “demographic” reports of the make up of ranks by race. We are forced to observe “race pride” events while there is never a mention of the white race.

Equal Opportunity in the military isn’t equal.

to ask themselves: “What am I doing to undo my privilege?”

I worked over 40 years paying taxes to support a bunch of minorities sitting on their butts. I aint' doing one thing to undo my whiteness. Eff'em.

Wearing one of those bands is basically saying “I’m ashamed of my race and of myself for being a member. I confess that simply by being alive I bare responsibility for most of the evil in the world. Please forgive me.”

I do so hope the students sabotage this, which is what would have happened when lesser stunts were tried years ago.

Such wrist bands would not be inspected on a daily basis, so counterfeit ones with different messages would blend in.

Imagine for example if instead of saying “white privilege”, some of the wristbands said “white power”?
