I apologize for bringing politics to an event. This is America — it still is. So I apologize to your white privilege.”

I am really getting tired of this term because I don’t know what it means.

I’ve never experienced this privilege.

I have worked for everything I have. When I screwed up I got punished.

I grew up in a lower middle-class neighborhood with mixed races.

I walked to school with black and Mexican kids. My high school had kids of just about every race and some mixed race.

The only kids with privilege in that school I ever saw were the athletes. They could get away with just about anything and race didn’t matter. For anyone else it was do the work and you’ll get by.

Even if a person of a minority race is suffering discrimination they do themselves and their race no favor in griping about it. The greatest revenge is success. Work hard to improve yourself and overcome the obstacles in your path. Then look back with justifiable pride.

Jews have been discriminated against pretty much everywhere and yet they are some of the most successful people in this country. Why? Because there are intelligent hard working people.

Jewish mothers are famous for two things. The first is laying guilt trips on their kids. The second is making their kids work hard at their studies so they can be successful and get good jobs.

I have said for years that what black kids need is Jewish mothers.

It means that all of the teeth of the first person who says it too you are yours for the taking.

Ultimately it's what you as a person have to offer to the world. Be it looks, money, intelligence, athleticism -- you have to have something with which to present yourself. While there is a white advantage, comparatively speaking, race or skin color doesn't mean a hill of beans if you are mediocre or thoroughly lacking in any meaningful talents.
