White privilege ‘shapes the world,’ says dorm display
Campus Reform ^ | April 17, 2017 | Anthony Gockowski

Posted on 04/17/2017 8:11:20 AM PDT by C19fan

Another “white privilege” board discovered at Indiana University declares that privilege “shapes the world in which we live.”

According to a photo of the board obtained by Campus Reform, white privilege is not necessarily defined as something that white people “do, create, or enjoy on purpose,” but rather as a “transparent preference for whiteness that saturates our society.”

“White Privilege” is so 2013. Now it’s “Nuclear Family Privilege”.

Someone needs to add two words at the top of the sign:

THANK GOD

This kind of white privileged crap is why their basketball program never recovered after Knight. They just had to have an unqualified minority then replace that minority with a corrupt minority. Even as mediocre as Crean was, at least he didn’t leave the program on probation and with one walk-on which was what was left of the program post-social experiments.

Western clothes = White

European languages = White

Modern Sanitation = White

Modern Medicine = White

Anything with a microchip in it = white

Modern communication devices = white

Modern transportation = White

Modern weapons = White

If they truly believe their talk they should walk the walk and refuse to use any of the above.

No. It doesn’t shape the world we live in. White privilege only shapes the parts of it that are civilized and prosperous.

Would somebody please tell me where I can get me some of that ‘White Privilege’?............

It's at WhiteMart, aisle three, next to the free bank loans, cheap BMWs, and Chablis.

Gee, Wally—What do you think would happen to Indiana University if all of the White students left?

I don’t think it would be around very long; so maybe they should stop pissing off White people.

It is the catch-all term for things like agriculture, civilization, and the wheel. If you are eating a sandwich while driving in a car and have a reasonable expectation that the other driver will stop at the red light while you have the green, then you have got some of that “White Privilege”.

You know, I am classified as white with Western and Eastern European ancestors, but I have never felt privileged. I had to work my way through college and pay for it with my own money.

I was rejected from a state job that I applied for because I wasn't a minority and/or a woman.

I have been fired from several jobs because the bosses wanted a friend in my place.

What did I do? Sucked it up and continued on.

Now I am retired and in pretty good shape. What more could I ask for?

I’m starting to think that being upset about this stupidity is getting us nowhere.

Time to embrace it. The new response:

Yeah, so what? It must suck to be you.

White accomplishment shapes the world.

What is very ironic about these ultra-leftist comments is that in a few decades, they've come around from simply wanting "equality" (however defined) to emphasizing supposed white advantages, and making whites a distinct, and special, racial group.

These leftists are merely a short step or two away from a kind of white power / segregationist position.

I prefer to write on white paper, rather than on black. Napkins are usually white. There is a white background in this text box. Clouds are white. The light from the Sun is defined as white. Those are examples of whiteness.

OH, that’s not what they mean! White is not a color, or the sum of all visible colors! White is an evil attribute of some people. It is the visible sign of guilt. You see, guilt is passed down through the genes. Many years ago some people held slaves, and some people were opposed to slavery. No matter. The guilt of the slaveholders expanded to all light-skinned people! Amazing how that happened. Not only did the guilt pass down to the descendants of the slaveholders, but it jumped over to the descendants of those who opposed it, as well as the sons and daughters of those who came over on a boat after slavery was abolished, innocent of guilt for slavery, when lo and behold they are given a guilt slip at Ellis Island, to be held all their lives and passed down to their grandkids who oppose slavery.

So STFU about White Privilege!

Where are all the white students at this university to sue someone for racism and hate speech?
