Anything I ever do, accomplish, or achieve is because I am white and / or privileged...or at least so I've been told.

Ben Haggerty. Mixing rhymes of white guilt along w/ faggotry. This is popular in USA, no?

This is only true if you are Macklemore

White poverty < all other poverty

What we are told these days by the clueless denizens of American myth is nothing more than antebellum. It's way past time for most of us to move on while we hurry and wait for the stupid and unwise to catch up riding the thread worn whitewalls they road in on.HFNY said:Anything I ever do, accomplish, or achieve is because I am white and / or privileged...or at least so I've been told.

You're really fucking stupid if you think Macklemore's music is a product of white guilt.unfrozencaveman said:Ben Haggerty. Mixing rhymes of white guilt along w/ faggotry. This is popular in USA, no?

There's probably something to it in rare cases, but 99% of the time the people whining about it ignore things like hard work, creativity, iniative etc. and focus on making everyone who fails a victim.
I'm way more worried about income inequality and a lack of upward mobility. -
BINGO and with our Big Government Spending, ZIRP, and QE I-IV, it has juiced stocks, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and other real assets while working stiffs with few real assets see their purchasing power erode:

As for White Privilege, I say it's loser talk and becomes a self-defeating prophecy for those who throw it around because it diminishes what a person who happens to be white achieves while it excuses away failure (or middling results) of those who happen to have more pigment in their skin.
And is there anything such as "Asian-American Privilege" since they are wealthier, more educated, and less likely to be incarcerated than whites, blacks, or latinos? If not, how come? Is it because that doesn't fit the narrative of those who engage in loser talk and are sub-consciously racing to the bottom?Fire_Marshall_Bill said:There's probably something to it in rare cases, but 99% of the time the people whining about it ignore things like hard work, creativity, iniative etc. and focus on making everyone who fails a victim.
