A Missouri state senator who has made controversial comments on social media following the shooting death in Ferguson of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man who was killed by a white police officer, is facing renewed criticism over her recent remark apparently about “white privilege.”

State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal apparently said on Twitter: "LET ME BE CLEAR. When you exercise your #WhitePrivilege, don't think I'm not going to remember. I will use it for the future. Uncomfortable?"

The tweet by Chappelle-Nadal, a Democrat, drew sharp responses on Twitter, including suggestions that she was making racist comments that could hurt her political career.

“THE VOTERS 'WE THE PEOPLE' will remember you when it comes to voting for you. You just burnt your future," one person tweeted in response.

Chappelle-Nadal did not respond Sunday to requests for comment.

She has made other controversial comments since Brown was killed last August during an encounter with Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson.

She reportedly called the protests St. Louis’ “race war.”

Take her at her words. Grow up blacks hate or resent us. The proper response to the hatred/resentment is so what?

An American woman using a double-barrelled surname is an instant tipoff to self-regard and a naive belief that use of both names represents ‘equality’ in a marriage etc.

It’s a popular affectation among intellectually challenged academic types and career female politicians (possibly redundant).

Perfect choice for the Demagogic Party's VP nominee.

I think we need to make the phrase “Black Entitlement” as well-known as “White Privilege.”

My white privilege allows me to go to work 60 hours a week so I can pay taxes to pay the salaries and welfare of unemployable racists who complain about my white privilege. Who gets the better deal?

“White Privilege”: working hard, having a father in the family, getting an education, not having babies at age 13, not listening to race pimps, not rioting and looting at the drop of a hat - you know - all that ‘actin’ white’ crap.
