Why White People Seek Black Privilege

With Milo Yiannopoulos’ shocking report that Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King is in fact white – according to Yiannopoulos, quoting blogger Vicki Page, “King is white and has been lying about his ethnicity for years” – taboo questions now arise about the nature of race in America.

King, of course, isn’t the first leading black activist with no black biological background: Rachel Dolezal, former head of the Spokane, Washington NAACP and adjunct professor of African-American studies at Eastern Washington, turned out to be a white woman.

However, King was a key figure in the same movement that now runs the Democratic Party, using the tools of racial victimhood and division to leverage power.

All of this demonstrates one undeniable fact: being black in America in 2015 is perceived as a status symbol and an advantage.

Victim status is treasured in America... today, white people attempt to pass for black — or appropriate black culture — to win popularity.

blackness is beneficial...

... For example, King allegedly received a scholarship to Morehouse College from Oprah Winfrey on the basis of his allegedly fake race... the fact that scholarships based on race are available from many foundations – and only to racial minorities – means that it is definitionally advantageous to be a member of a minority

That’s true in terms of admission to universities as well: standards are lower for blacks generally at top universities. A Princeton University study showed that blacks receive a “bonus” of 230 points on SAT scores versus their competitors; by contrast, Asians are penalized 50 points... Rachel Dolezal began as a white artist at Howard University but quickly found herself marginalized. Then she became black, and her art found a place at the United Nations, and she received an adjunct professorship at Eastern Washington University.

No, because playing the victim is a lot easier than accomplishing productive things in life. Accomplishment takes hard work - all victim-hood takes is cultivating a sense of guilt in liberals, which is about as much work as cultivating weeds in a vacant lot.

White privilege is when honky, commie lib 60s types borrow the race card to play against conservatives.

A basic principle. If you subsidize African-Americanism, you will get more of it.

I coined the phrase CRAYOLOREXIC for these type people.

An anorexic is someone who sees themselves as FAT even though they are skinny, so a crayolorexic sees themselves as a different color than what they actually are...........

It’s easier to get free stuff and have an entire racial grievance industry support you rather than work for it.

In a ‘white pond’ this guy’s NOT a stand out. Not in IQ, not in grades, not in looks, not in anything...

But in a black ‘pond’ he’s competitive... plus he’s rips off benefits reserved for blacks ...

Guy wants to be a big fish in a big pond... so he cheats. Pathetic.
