I hear hopelessness
I hear oppression
I hear pain
I hear internalized oppression
I hear despair
I hear anger
I hear poverty
You hear these things? Fine. So do I. And we (White America) SEE them as well. But Julia, do you hear and see WHY these things are evident? Do you see that Obama, Holder, Sharpton, the media and popular culture has lead you down the garden path to hopelessness, oppression, pain, internalized oppression, despair, anger and poverty?
Do you see the black culture is the reason why you hear these things? With illegitimacy, ignorance and racial hatred as your core values? With liberal democrats keeping you enslaved with welfare and entitlements that are paid for by White America?
If I am indeed "perpetuating white privilege and white supremacy"; then it is because no other culture has or ever will create the standard by which we all have flourished and benefitted. Julia, get back with me when black thuggery and a hip-hop pants on the ground mentality begins to work. Then we in White America will start to take you seriously.
Tell that to Planned Parenthood.
I hear someone with a chip on their shoulder.
Julia Smulia..
Foster hatred and contempt,, reap the whirlwind.
I will start caring when you stop voting for your democrat masters.

Respect is something you earn, sweetie. It’s not an anointing.
I was going to give my 2 cents but you summed it up quite nicely.
Then ask yourself why Baltimore is in flames?
Uhhhhhhh....no.

This Julia Blont? A Princeton College graduate? My pity is bottomless...
If you see a post and look down to the source and see Solon it’s automatically going to be racist progressive BS. Every single time.
Well said
Well, we all have our crosses to bear. Perhaps someone could come up with some point system to measure oppression. I advise the young author of this piece to find something else to do - the racial grievance industry is fully staffed and does not pay well.
Julia,
“Black people” from India and other types of “Asian” people certainly don’t look or act like white people. Most cannot claim English as their first language. And yet they thrive here in the U.S.
Time to leave us “privileged” alone and start looking in the mirror.
“I feel, therefore I steal”. Doesn’t seem like an ingredient for a civilized society.
school you work at? Great job, Princeton!
Nailed it!!
Julia, you are taking anecdotal evidence and drawing false conclusions that do not have any evidence or data to back it. If one black guy rushes a cop in his car in Missouri and dies, it has absolutely no relation to how cops treat black people. It has 100% to do with how cops treat guys who rush cops and ignore police orders. We don't know all that happened in Baltimore, but the guy was a menace to others and to himself and probably did something that led to an unfortunate situation. Had he not been arrested 18 times and acted like a fool, he'd probably be alive.
You don’t respect a rabid dog. You shoot it.
