Editor’s Note: We published this blog back in July, but we’re running it again today because Hillary Clinton of all people just spoke on behalf of hundreds of millions of white people who aren’t recognizing their privilege:
No Hillary. The only one who is privileged here is you. You and your boy Al Sharpton there, who has made millions of dollars off of faux racism (see Duke Lacrosse) while avoiding paying taxes. You are a rich white woman who went to private school and banged your way into the White House. Now you think you get to be President because you have a wardrobe of fluorescent colored muumuus. You are the definition of white privilege, but most of us don’t share in these privileges. Here’s the blog we wrote in July.
MTV continues to compete with TLC and CNN for worst channels in the history of television. The same channel that brought you the Jersey Shore is going to be bringing you a documentary about “white privilege” entitled, “White People.” Because there is nothing racist at all about calling a show “white people.” After all, every white person in America feels the same way about race because they’ve all grown up under the exact same circumstances and have experienced the exact same things. Here’s a trailer:
White privilege is defined as a “term for societal privileges that benefit white people in western countries beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political, or economic circumstances.” It’s a term that has come up frequently in race discussions in Worcester. But the problem is that it’s not real. So just to prove our point, here are the Top 11 Reasons That White Privilege Is Not A Real Thing.
11. Nathan Pickens still has a job because only white people are capable of being racist.
Nathan Pickens, Worcester’s most notorious racist, called an African immigrant a “house nigger” and repeatedly referred to him as a “coon,” because he had the audacity to support Michael Gaffney for Mayor. Mr. Pickens labeled Mr. Gaffney as a racist, despite having no evidence that he was a racist. When a white woman who was offended by this told him that he was going to report his Facebook posts to his employer, he referred to this as “white privilege” and claimed that he could not be racist because he was black. If white privilege were a real thing, then white people would have the privilege of being immune to allegations of racism.
10. Privilege comes from socioeconomic factors, not racial makeup.
The concept of white privilege assumes that all white people grow up under the same circumstances, in the same way it assumes that black people do as well. If you grow up with a white single mother in a housing project in Holyoke, you’re not going to have access to the same type of guidance and resources at home as a rich kid (white or black) from Longmeadow. Poor white students will never be able to qualify for minority scholarships, and thus have no privileges, while upper middle class black students have a plethora of opportunities that would not be available to them if they were white.
9. Saida Grundy still has a job at BU.
Saida Grundy is the Boston University professor who tweeted out TONS of racist things like this:
And then mocked a white rape victim on Facebook by using the hashtag, #whitegirltears.
The fact that she is still employed, while it’s undebatable that a white professor would’ve been fired for saying such things about people of color, is proof that there are no privileges in academia that come with being white. Rather it proves the opposite – there are many privileges that come with being a person of color such as Saida Grundy.
8. There is a great push nationwide to diversify industries that are “too white.” There is no such push to diversity industries where white people are underrepresented.
In Worcester the Department of Justice is here to investigate why teachers at North High School are so white. A common complaint has been that the faculty in the WPS, and lots of other urban school districts, isn’t diverse enough. We’ve even added a six figure, “Chief Diversity Officer” to the budget next year.
Several WPS students accused their teachers of being racist, with unproven anecdotes. Thus they called for more teachers of color, because white teachers cannot relate to them. Yet there are no complaints from white students that black teachers don’t “understand them.”
However, players in the NBA and NFL are predominantly black, and are very highly paid. At some positions (cornerback, running back) there are almost no white athletes. Yet there is no push to diversify these highly paid industries. Only industries where white people are “overrepresented” is there such a push.
7. Everything is in Spanish, and nothing is in Polish or Albanian.
You can’t do anything anymore without pressing 1 for English. Notices at school are sent home in English and Spanish. But nothing is sent home in Polish, Albanian, Russian, or Lithuanian. Thus immigrants from those predominantly white countries are forced to learn the language, while spanish speaking immigrants are given tools to assimilate. Many of these white immigrants have left jobs as doctors and other respected professions in their homelands, and work at McDonald’s in America. If white privilege were a real thing these immigrants would come to America and instantly find well paying jobs, and society would provide accommodations for them in their native language.
6. Dylan Roof and people like him would get away with murder by using their white privilege cards.
Dylan Roof committed a heinous crime, surrendered, and was arrested. He will likely be executed. Dick Matt and David Sweat broke out of prison and had thousands of law enforcement agents look for them for 23 days before they were apprehended. If white privilege were a real thing then the cops would’ve said, “fuck it, they’re white” and let them sneak into Canada.
5. The majority of welfare recipients in America are white.
There are millions upon millions of white Americans living below the poverty line. Take a quick trip through Kentucky or West Virginia and watch what you see. Or if you don’t wanna travel that far, take a quick whirl through Ware or Charlemont or Colrain. You’ll be greeted by thousands of white people living in trailers, who qualify for every form of public assistance that poor people of color do. If white privilege were a real thing, these people would use it to move out of their trailer park, and into a comfortable home in suburbia.
4. If white privilege were real, then accused white rapists such as the Duke Lacrosse team, Paul Nungesser, and every frat brother in the UVA chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, would NEVER have been labeled as guilty before they were proven innocent.
When a black stripper accused several members of the Duke Lacrosse team of raping her in 2005, they were kicked out of school, their coach was fired, and their season ended. It turned out to all be a lie.
Paul Nungusser is a white immigrant from Germany who was accused of rape by his white former friend Emma Sulcowicz. A series of text messages between the two seems to show that the two friends slept together, and then he stopped answering her calls. Months later she accused him of rape and carried around a mattress for three years at Columbia, including at his graduation graduation, to symbolize her rape. The project, which was clearly designed as a way to bully a student who was not charged with anything, was encouraged by her art professor, as was the harassment and vilification of her “rapist” who was never tried in a court of law, and was cleared of any wrongdoing by the University. Since then she has gone on to make a pornographic video depicting her rape, that she calls “art.”
Phi Kappa Psi is a fraternity at the University of Virginia where Jackie Coakley claims she was gang raped by seven frat brothers. Rolling Stone reported the story as fact, but after several of her friends came forward to say that she was lying, and the TONS of inconsistencies in her story came to light, Rolling Stone took the story down.
In all three of these cases the general public believed that these white male students were guilty before they eventually proved their innocence. Because when you’re a white college dude in America, it’s assumed that you have rapey tendencies, and vilifying white male college students is a victimless crime. Who gives a shit if you ruin the life of a white male college student? He can just use his white privilege card to make it all disappear. LOL. If white privilege were a real thing, these students NEVER have been punished for crimes they didn’t commit in such a manner.
3. Almost every white person in this country is a descendent of a post-antebellum European immigrant.
White privilege assumes that ALL white folk enjoy the long term benefits of slavery and segregation. But the vast majority of white people in America are descendants of European immigrants who came here AFTER the Civil War. Nearly 1 in 3 Americans can trace their roots to Ellis Island, which did not open until the 1892. Most were greeted by “natives” who refused to hire them and discriminated against them based on their country of origin. If white privilege were a real thing, then every white person living in America would be directly benefiting from the slave owning history of their white ancestors.
2. Rachel Dolezal.
Rachel Dolezal is the former head of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, who pretended to be black in order to further herself professionally. As a result of her lies she gained access to jobs that would’ve been virtually unattainable if she were white. Thus she had reason to pretend to be black. A white woman would not have gotten a job teaching African-American history at Eastern Washington University. If white privilege were a real thing, then Rachel Dolezal NEVER would’ve abandoned her privileged race and pretended to a member of an “oppressed” race.
1. Never in the history of forms, has it ever been advantageous to check off the box for “white.”
Almost every time you took a standardized test or filled out a job application, you were forced to identify which race you identified with. Not once in the history of mankind has it ever been beneficial to check off the box for white. By checking the box for white, you are well aware that this can only hurt you. At best it will have no effect. But they are asking you that question for a reason. Because everyone is looking to diversify, and no one is looking to hire another white person. If white privilege were a real thing, white folks would LICKING THEIR CHOPS to fill that the “white” box.
So there you have it. Obviously every single thing we just wrote it logical and backed up by facts. Nevertheless, it will take about 8-10 seconds before poopsmooching hippies come out of the woodworks and say this is racist. Because that’s what you do when you don’t have a legitimate point of view. You make up words like white privilege and call everyone else who is smarter than you racist.

Lmao. This is trash. So much of this is SUCHHHH a far stretch. There has not been nearly enough fact checking in this article, nor has there been adequate research. Lazy AF. Pitiful work. I honestly expected to find a satire piece when I clicked on the link off of google. I didn’t read through the comments but I trust that at least one decent person corrected your shit. Perhaps you should just stick to amazon reviews or something much less important. This is above your level.
Please do humanity a favor and kill yourself you fucking retarded bimbo. You obviously have nothing useful to contribute to society if you believe in the blatantly racist myth that is called “white privilege”. Hope you slit your throat with the edges of your race card you pathetic cunt.
Anyone else notice most of the comments against this article are Bimbos or jobless cucks?
This post is so fucking stupid and lazy and doesn’t use any real logic.
Neither does the concept of white privilege, but yet here you are whining like the beta male you are just because not everyone falls for this SJW brainwashing.
Why doesn’t anyone ever consider that maybe the cause of some people’s “oppression” is maladaptive behaviors and choices passed down from their parents? I happen to be a certain brown-skinned minority and can tell you they do a LOT of stupid things to keep themselves poor. They refuse to do well in school, they choose to be ghetto in everything they do. They don’t read. They self-segregate. They have no consideration for neighbors and play awful music with dirty lyrics at top volume, when people are trying to get their babies to sleep. Then when they don’t earn a good income, or get kicked out of places, or get dirty looks for their behavior, they cry racism. When you call them out on their behaviors and the cause of their problems, they claim that it sstill racist because they are expected to “assimilate”. They don’t accept that their behavior is bad, and that being uneducated and rude is their own fault. It’s all choice and maladaptive behaviors. Also, even when they are wealthy they cry about being oppressed. I have a large family that came from one wealthy coffee plantation owner in Puerto Rico…and let me tell you these jerks are the snobbiest people I know. They are super racist too. White privilege is 100% a myth and anyone who believes it’s a thing is delusional. You would thing that being a visibly brown Hispanic trying to explain this to a White woke liberal would be proof enough of this, but it’s not. They are stubborn and will not listen to reasons
Perfectly wriiten.. I love how you aren’t afraid to point out the true facts .. Im white but definitely dont have any ” white privileges” black pepple in america are the most rascist people i have ever come across they constantly bash ” the whiteys ” far more often than alot of people think .. Honestly this cpuntry is more set up to help ” people of color ” than any white person.
I feel like you don’t understand what people mean when they talk about white privilege.
I’m white. I grew up incredibly poor in a deprived neighbourhood with a single, alcoholic mother trying to bring me up. So, it would be easy for me to scoff and say white privilege isn’t a thing. But the issue is I would be disregarding so very much in making that assessment. Simple example: growing up in that deprived area, there were lots of black people in a very similar situation to me. But I could walk down the street, past some cops, and feel fairly sure they wouldn’t look as me with suspicion and potentially stop and search me. If I was black, I wouldn’t have that surety. That’s an example of the privilege.
There’s nothing to understand because white privilege isn’t a real phenomenon unless you see everything by race only, and there’s a term for people that think like that…
Ok I couldn’t even read the whole comment. You are so unbelievable. Let me think. Who didn’t have to sit in the back of the bust? Who wasn’t sent to join for years for minor things like loitering? Who weren’t hanged from trees for sitting at a diner? And who yea, who didn’t have shackles around their feel for hundreds of years? And who didn’t do anything about racism for hundreds of years? Oh yea, white people. So don’t go around bad mouthing black people like that when you have a LONG history of many many things.
Of course you didn’t read, instead you cherry picked atrocities that you mindlessly blame white people for and wrote this dumbass comment. Please kill yourself you fucking pathetic waste of semen.
being immune to being fired because of racism was never considered a white privilege.
The government giving blacks more scholarship opportunities has nothing to do with the social disadvantages that a black person has compared to a white person of the same class. Black people still end up less successful and less likely to graduate than whites of the same economic background.
A poor white person has white privilege, and a rich black person has economic privilege. different things.
Helping people of color succeed in areas where whites more easily succeed is not racist, but the only way to do that is to choose to avoid white-owned businesses .
White supremacy is a phenomenon found chiefly in white male populations. anti-nazi groups and social justice groups would be wasting their time looking into non-white populations for white supremacists.
there are no social disadvantages that white people have when getting into sports. however there are many social disadvantages that people of color have when getting into most jobs. Some groups of people tend to have more ideal musculature and biology for physical activity. Note however that the position requiring the most brains in football, the quarterback, are mostly white. it’s because people of color are socially disadvantaged when it comes to pursuing education.
in the US, Spanish speakers enjoy more privilege than those who speak another non-english language. the reason why there are signs in spanish is because there are so many spanish speakers. privilege comes with numbers. if you are in a very small group of people because of the combination of race, gender, income, disability, and language, then you won’t get a lot of help. the help i’m talking about is not something that anyone gives you, it’s just there. it’s signs in your language, it’s sink faucets at the right height, it’s red and green signals that cetain colorblind people can’t differentiate. its the number of people you can talk to who won’t treat you like you are very different and who might even consider you to be their friend. it’s the number of rich people you know personally. its the lack of relatives shot dead in a gunfight due to gang activity.
Getting out of murder is not a listed white privilege.
On average, a Black person is more likely to be on welfare than a white person. Asian Americans have social advantage over Black americans because society relabeled them in the 1960s as model citizens in order to justify stereotyping of Black people as lazy and violent, and also because of an influx of well-educated Asian people since the 1960s
not being subjected to the court of public opinion when it comes to rape is not one of the listed white privileges. However, not having to be worried about being raped or being blamed for being raped is a male privilege (outside of prison).
White immigrants’ descendants more easily assimilated into American society than immigrants of color, simply because they can blend in. Discrimination happens when people notice a physical difference in other people from themselves.
Rachel Dozelal claimed that she suffered violent discrimination because she was black. this was all a lie. Her white privilege protected her from the violence that black people face growing up. She took advantage of those scholarships when they are meant to elevate Black people out of a word of discrimination she never knew.
Whites as a whole group don’t need any help because society already advantageous for them. Poor whites need help, disabled whites need help, but whites do not need help based on skin color alone. Other races do, because their skin color causes them to face more obstacles
At least you live up to your name with your tl;dr race baiting nonsense. Unicorns are more believable than white privilege, which is nothing more than a theory meant for low temperature IQs like yourself.
don’t listen to Charlie, this was well written and true. this article is so dumb
You actually read all of that and got butthurt by my comment? Damn you’re pathetic!
An African.
get stuffed the lot of you, butthurt white people trying desperately to run away from the problems that have been caused in this world. everyone needs to own their identity, you cant possibly think being called a racist is worse than experiencing racism ??!! grow tf up and take responsibility for your position in this fucked up society so that eventually these “special privileges”, whichever group they benefit, can dissolve and everyone can be treated equally.
Get a job, loser
I love how this blog is sponsored by a BBQ Restaurant, Liquor Companies, and Powertools
this is some of the dumbest shit ive ever read
LMAO it’s even dumber to believe in this blatantly racist concept called white privilege. People don’t think and instead absorb the “white people bad” narrative, as if they’re the ones that did the lynching and whipping (no, those people died centuries years ago and have been long denounced). There’s no such thing as white privilege unless you’re a blatant fucking racist piece of garbage that insists that everything has to be about race. Turn off your media and start thinking for a change.
I think some of these so called White Privileges are simply black disadvantages that many members of the black community have brought on their selves. The reason why people don’t trust large groups of young blacks is because obviously too many of these types of people are responsible for committing violent crimes. Now if the majority of the black community would come out and denounce these thugs instead of apologizingredients for them and then blaming whites for them being oppressed then maybe these disadvantages wouldn’t be as bad. But ofcourse that will never happen and young blacks will remain the least trustworthy in the eyes of whites and all other races for that matter.
“Apologizing for them”. (Auto correct error)
This contains no relative information, it’s not even worth reading past the first sencetnce. It’s funny how a supposed writer posted this and afterwards he probably nods his head with satisfaction.
Anybody stupid enough to believe in the racist Jew lie of “white privilege” has already proved that they can’t think for themselves in the fear of being called “racist”. Pfft, who cares?
As a “non-white” I actually agree with this. Hence why Im in this page, I randomly decided to type out my though on Google, and this website popped out. I do not believe that White Privilege exists, now that does not mean I am a “white-lover”. It just means that I can be rational to all topics, and I will always voice the truth where it belongs. The only semi-disagreement I have was the example with The Spanish Lamguage. I understand the analogy of it but it shows a one-sided inaccuracy that I cannot let it slip away.
For one a lot of Americans regardless of racial origin are ignorant to know that for one Spanish is a European language from a White country —Spain, is white, In fact the first white people to colonize the Americas were the whites from Spain, hence why Florida was Spanish approx 300 years before becoming Anglo (English/American).
Now it is somewhat understandable why Americans have a hard time knowing that Real Spanish people are white because being neighboring Mexico and having many non-white Mexicans living in their country makes them assume that all Spanish-Speakers are non-whites.
Lastly, while I do agree that English should be taught and spoken by everyone, another fact that Americans have a hard time grasping is that basically Canada and the USA are the only fully “English speaking countries” in all of the americas. Everything south to The USA is Spanish. Many Legal and Illegal immigrants happen to be Spanish-speakers plus I must remind you that a huge percentage of Tourists visitings the USA happen to be Spanish-speakers. When the millionaires and billionaires of Latin America decide to travel for vacation many love to travel and do business in the USA. So of course the government, businesses’ and others will cater to Spanish-speakers as opposed to other languages that are simply not popular and commonly spoken in the Americas. Lets not forget that over 50% of what today is the USA before during the early 1800s and before were also Spanish, so America has deep and strong roots to a Hispanic heritage and due to this even more reasons to choose Spanish over other languages that frankly have no more history in these lands. I am not telling you to accept and learn Spanish, while this might irk some , at the end of the day it does not change the historical facts and the reality Im presenting to you. Just dont let yourself be fooled by ignorance especially if you are an American who does littleto no travelling outside the USA. The same language issues here are happening elsewhere. Go to tourist hot spots that British, Canadians and Americans love going to in Latin America, do you think they are being spoken to in Spanish? They are heavily catered in English— All non English or non Spanish speakers have it harder, but why English? Because the majority of visitors and profit comes from English-speakers! Another example, have you ever been to that beautiful cosmopolitan-colonial town in central Mexico, San Miguel de Allende? Half of the people living there are Canadians and Americans. You do not see them assimilating to Mexican culture. They receive health care and eveything else in their language; English. And you never heard Mexicans making any fuss about it or raising ignorant accussations that “The Immigrants are stealing the jobs”.
We can always leave ignorance behind us. You can always have your opinions but do not ignore and manipulate the facts.
So you’ve never even heard of Brazil?!
A Dominican girl from my race and ethnic relations class seemed to be interest in letting the class understand the struggles she had witnessed being a Hartford, CT resident. Toward the end of the semester,however, she raised her hand to declare that the subject matter, more than anything else, seemed to degrade minorities rather than uplift them.
So you’ve never even heard of Brazil?!
The old racist ex-Black Panthers creep Clarence Mason Weaver even says White privilege is bs. He laughs and says it’s weak Blacks crying up to their superior White masters to “take better care of their animals.”
I don’t see anyone calling for unity, peace, or stepping up to denounce these murderous, hateful people who are killing cops. No Black group is interested in peace, only in getting more given to Blacks, especially their own selves. They don’t care about ANYONE or ANYTHING but themselves. They constantly alienate everyone else and segregate themselves with Black racism, playing “victims of racism” the whole time.
I feel sorry for every non-Black who is truly the victim here because of these animals, and for the even greater number of Black people who are victims of their own race and it’s so-called “activists.” These terrorists are nothing but murdereous, racist, animals, without intelligence or decency.
Some communities continue to insist that working hard is selling out. Well the victim card has been over played and the push back has started. Trump is just the first of many. Can’t believe I am defending Trump.
Jesus effing Christ, STOP THE MADNESS! Grab a hold of yourselves, work hard, get an education, aspire to do something with your life besides sitting on your fat ass collecting government handouts while bitching about white privilege and the 1%. Stop fucking whining, and open your eyes because opportunities in this country exist for everyone. I’d love to see one of these pansy ass politicians show some damn stones and stand up to these assholes, rather than cowering and pandering to them because they fear negative media. Our country is circling the drain and Hillary is the flush valve. Oh, and what started as a kind of cool channel playing music videos has devolved into the most mind numbing gutter trolling thing on cable. I feel stupider with it just on.
Agreed. And MTV has undeniably gone from ground-breaking music video pioneer, to 100% pure propaganda tool. It really is sickening in it’s arrogance, ignorance, and full-blown stupidity.
Idk, Ive worked in landscape, for a township, and for public and private golf courses and I can 1000% guarantee you that you’re full of shit on that last point. You’re honestly huffing glue if that’s what you truly believe. You simply have ZERO perspective on what people mean by it. When you hear one of your past employers claim that there will never be a black person working for them you realize fairly quickly that institutionalized racism is a living breathing thing. White privilege is a bit exaggerated, but I can personally tell you that employers discriminate the shit out of who they hire. I love your blogs but this is a dumb take, you lack all perspective that would let you see how exactly people are discriminated when it comes to getting ahead in life. “If white privilege was real then blah blah blah wouldn’t be employed right now.” I’m a friggin landscaper for christ’s sake, and could pick out every single fallacy and persuasive language you used to sell your point. Get better skippa.
These morons come from unwed, uneducated, black teenagers.
Maybe just maybe if the parents were to teach the children how to be productive members of society then they would have a chance…………JMO
Dont forget the University of Albany bitches who started a fight on a bus, got laughed at, then called cops and reported that they had been assaulted by a bus full of white people screaming racial slurs.
Keep it up Hillary! I hope BLM keeps pushing this White Priv shit because it just gives Trump a few more votes everytime they block traffic, block trains, baseball games, riots on highways for 16 yr old gang members w tats on their necks who go on facebook and post pics of themselves thuggin it up.
Keep this shit up and Trump is a fucking lock!
It is advantageous to choose white over asian when applying to medical schools
How come Asians just achieve and never complain about white privilege. They just outperform. How come African immigrants find tremendous success in their new country and look down on their American brethren who constantly play the race card and whine about nonexistent privilege.
Just because Bill & Hillary were the first section 8 Presidential couple having always lived in free government housing does not me all white people had it easy by any means. Stuff like this is why Trump has a legitimate shot at winning even though we wish it were not true.
“When I am told about my heritage, I am told about coming to America and working as a house cleaner, and being fishermen and sending most of the money earned back to the old country”
“I know my parents lived through the depression…a time when being poor actually meant being poor”
“I know that my husbands father came to America at 16 and 2 years later was drafted into a war and fought against his own country”
“I know that my children although they worked harder and had better grades did not get into the college of their choice because another student that barely passed high school and was more “diverse” actually got in instead”
“I know my husband was passed over for 2 job promotions because they “had” to give it to 2 less qualified people…a woman and a black man”
“Every time I watch a TV show or news show I have to listen to “white people” do this and “white people” do that and how racist and stupid and evil we are”
“I know that I grew up in a city where I was robbed , jumped and forced to move because of the color of my skin” and that was 35 years ago
“I know that in the future Hollywood will be giving out awards to actors based solely on the color of their skin”
“I know that history is history and none of us can do anything about what happened 200 years ago let alone 400 years ago…EVERY country was founded in a time where people were not “enlightened” and that is why it is so stupid to make any group of people to feel guilty ”
“I know there is a double standard …black people are victims and white people are all racists and that seems to be O.k”
“I know that black people are just as racist as white people…so why do we have to keep talking about the color of someones skin”
White Privilege is bullsh%$t and it is just an excuse to keep blaming others and not addressing the “real” problems of the black community…..if and when people , black or white try to do this they are immediately called racist or an uncle tom….so the cycle never ends. Get over it ….NONE of US are guilty of being born a certain color
Amen. And being Black is not a skill or an achievement. TRUE equality means Black lives don’t matter any more than anyone else’s lives, and if Blacks are TRULY, TRULY concerned about Black lives, and not just looking for more free money from the rest of America, then they need to focus on their own Black people who are actually killing 99% of Black people murdered, not to mention STAGGERING Black abortion rates.
“I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.”
“When I am told about our national heritage or about “civilization,” I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.”
“If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven’t been singled out because of my race.”
“I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.”
If you read through the rest of the list, you can see how white people and people of color experience the world in two very different ways. BUT LISTEN: This is not said to make white people feel guilty about their privilege. It’s not your fault you were born with white skin and experience these privileges. BUT, whether you realize it or not, you DO benefit from it, and it IS your fault if you don’t maintain awareness of that fact.
Gwyn,
Thank you for the laugh. I really needed it!
This is the most grossly inaccurate and misguided thing I’ve ver seen. Don’t share this, even if you are doing so in disbelief, this language should not be circulated even further.
In what way?

That is an awesome name for an afternoon classic rock DJ
This is Alan Hillrock comin at cha with anotHer hourlong block consisting entirely of Inna Gadda da Vida. We’ll see you tomorrow.
This was really poorly written. All of the points are of the format “If white privilege existed, then some stupid thing that no one has ever associated with white privilege would occur. It doesn’t, so white privilege doesn’t exist.”
Really? Dylan Roof would use his privilege card to get out of murder? White people would be immune to being unfairly accused of rape or racism? Has ANYONE ever suggested part of white privilege is that nothing bad ever happens to white people?
Lazy writing, fellows. Lazy writing.
I agree with you on some of it, but they definitely have a point on economic issues and affirmative action as well as the speech censorship. And “that’s MY truth”
Dylan Roof? You are really stupid if you think he’s benefitting from being white. So many dindus cant seem to put down the kool-aid.
I’m honestly shocked that in the couple of hours this post has been up, it hasn’t been inundated with comments from Old Balls, Jeff, and the brainless, slack-jawed SJW foot soldiers of the Circlejerk. And, of course, fake accounts using every racial epithet in the book to try and paint TB and his fans as a bunch of evil racists.
I had thought that mattress story was fishy. I just find it unbelievable and criminal how certain alleged crimes just fuel media BS.
Ah yes the friendly network of Viacom. how they have always looked out for the interests of young adults!
White privilege is a term created by the media to get buffoons like you to further divide we as a people. MTV!!! Is making a documentary about this. Stop letting mainstream media make you view the world from their perspective. You’re all pointing you’re fingers at each other. A bunch of babies. Maybe you could write an article about how freakin blinded this entire country is from real issues. This is really sometimes the woooooorst shit I’ve ever read.
…. And yet, you keep coming back….. Go figure. If I read an article, and thought to myself, this article sucks! I’d probably veer away from reading another article produced by that person. That would be the logical thing to do. However, if I were an Internet troll looking for attention in the comment section, I’d go and repeatedly complain about how bad the blog was. Have you gotten your quota of attention for today? Good. You are late for therapy. Run along little troll.
12. The concept of “white privilege” only exists to justify needless “white guilt.”
13. Affirmative Action involves more than just “forms.”
14. Forming a group called the “National Association for the Advancement of White People” would get you called the “New Klan.”
15. The NFL doesn’t have a rule mandating that teams interview a white guy before hiring a head coach.
Says the make believe black guy.

Where do these morons come from?
It’s much easier to blame others for your problems instead of looking in the mirror and blaming yourself. This applies to all races. I have friend and relatives who have done this after getting themselves into trouble. Almost every story I’ve been told about a drunk driving arrest has the person saying they only had a few beers and the cop pulled them over for something they shouldn’t have been pulled over for, instead of just saying they fucked up and now have to pay the penalty.
Same applies to people who complain about white privilege. Much easier to blame “society” instead of blaming yourself for underachieving. Many thought that after President Obama was elected, things would magically become wonderful for them without any effort of their own. This white privilege claim has become louder and more frequent since they don’t want to look in the mirror and admit they need to put forth no effort to advance their situation.
