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.
Thank you FRiend. Deeply missed not seeing you at the June shoot. Wish I could have come.
Is your nickname “Bubba?”
Thanks Laz!

We need to steal a page from the Alinsky playbook and use this to our advantage.
Liberals have made these self-identifying classes a joke.
So, we need to overwhelm the system.
When asked for your race....answer with the most absurd thing imaginable.....Asgardian-Vulcan
When asked for your sex.....answer with one pump chump.
When asked for your religion...answer with Jesus Christ of Future Day Saints
Etc.
Next year if I can get a heads up early enough.
Everybody missed you, too. Especially me.
Try for the 11th TCMS, and Bryan and I will meet you there if you can get to it.
They’re talking Wimberly for the next Shoot. The cottages there are really cool.
Tis article (from 1988) explores the art world of Santa Fe where an Indian (Native American) artist can sometimes demand higher prices and be assured of a particular market.
It is very interesting in light of the new Trans Racial phenomenon
Laz, I rarely post anymore, but you knocked this one out of the park, and it really needs to be circulated far and wide!
If “racial identity” becomes a thing, it completely undermines the spoils system the socialists have set up.
That is why they are absolutely freaking out over this otherwise minor incident.
Precisely my reason for writing this and coining this phrase.
There is also an implied thread in this article, that I do not directly state. I allow the reader to figure that out themselves: I will make the implied point white-font on white-background so that if anyone wants to see the 'spoiler', they can, by highlighting the hidden text.
Her actions show there is something worth stealing by stealing black privilege. Without stating it directly, it is a very important point. It does two things: It demonstrates there IS black privilege, and it demonstrates that it is valuable.
Thank you, kind sir. :)
Well, you are the author, so you can revise it if you want to. BTW, I forgot to ask you to please put me on your ping list.
Laz, Laz, Laz.
Declare the sex of your choice (lesbian in a man’s body), and you can use the facility of your choice by OSHA decree.
Hell, go for the women’s shower room at the local spa.
I knew you could. Rock on, bro, er, miss, er, ms.

Yes. I got a ton of replies, but my life is...I am going through stuff right now. Sorry for the non-response.
Yeah, but few are as notorious as he is in recent memory.
He sure fell off the ace of the earth fast, must have found a nice rock in liberal land to hide under.
I now have a new tagline.
