Stolen Valor, as defined in the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 (H.R. 258), is the fraudulent claim of military award or decoration with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit from convincing someone that he or she did rightfully receive the award or decoration.
I wish to coin a phrase and concept: Stolen Privilege. This is the fraudulent claim of racial composition with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit from convincing someone that he or she was a particular race.
In the last year, we have heard incessantly about White Privilege. This is defined as having societal privileges or having advantages in America -- indeed, the entire Western world -- just for being white. So, let us consider the privileges associated with being colors other than white? There are advantages, financial and otherwise, to claiming Native American status. There are advantages, financial and otherwise, to claiming African American status.
One can cogently argue that these other-than-white Privileges are a requisite offset for decades of systemic oppression. I don't disagree. But still, privileges they are, and they are afforded on the basis of color.
One of these privileges is the tendency of NAACP groups to hire, as their Chapter President a man or woman of color. Rachel Dolezal was hired as the Spokane Chapter President of the NAACP, and she remained Chapter President for a very long time, with the understanding that she was black -- even though she was white all along.
Rachel Dolezal is guilty of Stolen Privilege.
Senator Elizabeth Warren has claimed Native American Ancestry several times, most recently in a book "A Fighting Chance", even though her claims have been debunked many times and by many groups.
Senator Elizabeth Warren is guilty of Stolen Privilege.
I would never advocate that ‘Stolen Privilege’ should ever be made into a prosecutable law -- we have far too many laws, and far too many of them border on criminalizing simple foolishness -- but I do advocate that Stolen Privilege should be a concept used to mock and shame those who abuse the truth in a quest for money or power.
I believe brevity is a key requirement to modern editorials -- most people simply won't read long ones. So I trim, and mercilessly slash, and trim, until I am left with something like what you see above.

Whites have obligations. Minorities have entitlements.
White people are entitled to our obligations.
Racial Dozeoff...
At least Adm. Boorda had the decency to commit suicide.
From what I’ve read.. black or white.. she a ho.
She will always have that going for her, as being a ho is
transcendent of race; it is a unique state of being.
She a ho, she proud.
She’s a freaking hero.
Single handedly she has gutted the Racial and Ethnic Spoils system we use in the US to dole out the gravy of jobs, school selection, contract preference etc etc.
If I can “identify” as a black or hispanic or native American based on how I “feel” the whole rotten structure comes crashing down.
Happy day!
Laz, every single time I see your ping-list graphic, it makes me laugh...not a bad thing these days!
Stolen Ho-dome?
Somebody - Riley, was it you? - nailed it yesterday: Stolen Pallor.
LOL. Lantos! What a creep.
Do not leave out good old Ward Chuchill. That POS started this whole thing in many ways.
She din’t had stole it, she be LIVE that, she BE a ho.
They almost nailed my concept, but mine is based on Stolen Valor.
I believe I am the very first person to come up with this meme. That makes me coolest.
Don’t try to Stolen Lazamataz me, bro.
Rachel Dolezal is guilty of Stolen Privilege.
We need to not let up on this issue - the reason the left is upset about her is that she is stealing the special set-asides set up for minorities.
They’d be just as angry at you for checking “black” on a loan application, knowing it would get you special interest rates and special consideration for the loan.
WARD, of course. Damn, wish I had talked to you before I wrote this!
