If he believes in white privilege, then he needs to drop out of the race so a non white gets a shot.

I was about to say he can’t have it both ways, but I’ll bet he’s had it a lot of ways.

Poor Kamala Harris. With all this White Mae Privilege going on, she’ll never get a fair shake in the Press.

What I see here is that everyone is NOT equal. And we cannot make them equal with politics. You have a form of privilege if you are born in the United States. You have a form of privilege if you are attractive, athletic, not overweight, have wealthy parents, have parents, live where the school system is good, learned to be compassionate, learned to be honest, learned how to learn, and so on.

Being born in a group with a lot of these characteristics to start with is certainly an advantage, but that is a fact of life, not something we should spend a lot of time worrying over. And we certainly should not spend a lot of our time trying to find other privileges to “match” the privilege that white people are asserted to have. There are plenty of white people who don’t work hard, don’t try to learn what they need to know to succeed, and plenty of non-whites who will take over their “privilege” in a heartbeat. That is life.

he has to “check himself” because it is sometimes difficult to see the ways in which he has benefited from his “whiteness or maleness.”

This is the universal refrain of the virtue-signaling sh!tlib.

I found only one source that says 1.75 meters (5’ 8”). Not sure if this is true. He looks shorter that that.

So he wants to be a queen and a male at one-and-the-same time?

Isn’t that homophobic?

Buttgig will go as low as it takes. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he isn’t paying the “homophobic” hecklers at his rallies. What better way to get a ton of sympathetic press than to turn himself into a “victim”?

He looks like he is a "Hollywood" 5'8", which means about 5'5", and he's lying about his height.

I've noticed that at least some famous short guys try to get away with claiming to be 2 or 3 inches taller than they are.

I heard recently that transvestites hate being called “trannies”. So, naturally, that’s what I call them. And, when it comes to which pronoun they prefer, I talk to them as little as I can and try to avoid calling them anything at all. That’s what they get for attempting mind control on me. If I must speak about them, I use the pronoun they were born with. That includes mentally substituting inverted pronouns any time I read some article about them in which the author feels the need to pander to them. I think it is important to do this to avoid falling into their trap. They want us desensitized. We’ve got to fight that.

As for gay, homos only co opted that word because they wish they were and desperately want us to all think that they are. Ditto with the sunny symbol of the rainbow.

I also heard that hermaphrodites don’t like the word hermaphrodite. They want to be called inter sexed. Not that I have a problem with the phrase inter sexed. By definition, I suppose that is as correct as any, but why am I banned from using the word hermaphrodite? I continue to use that word out of principal. I mean no offense to hermaphrodites, because they were born with a birth defect, but no minority of people gets to control such a non offensive term like that. If we give that kind of power to any faction of our population, we have lost the most basic of freedoms. I am not giving mine up.
