    I understand. That's the best you can do.

    Acknowledging that your position that education does not affect income is completely ridiculous.

    And I understand the best that white privilege can do is call names when it has no defense of its wickedness.:thumbsup:

    Acknowledging that you think education stops white privilege when those statistics you're so fond of show otherwise is what is completely ridiculous.

    I'm not acknowledging that there is any such thing as "white privilege".

    But the education/income thing... :laugh: Too precious for words.


    I'm going to stop now. I'm laughing to hard to type.:laugh:

    Accepting white privilege as supposition is prejudice itself. If someone wishes to claim this phenomenon exists, the burden is on him to prove it; it is not on those who would have to prove a negative.

    This proof is never forthcoming.


    The only argument offered is that whites are more prosperous and healthier socially than are blacks, which proves white privilege as much as blacks’ numerical dominance in the NBA proves black privilege. After all, Hindus (exclusively non-white) are the highest-earning religious group in the U.S., and Jews are number two, yet no one today takes this as proof of Hindu or Jewish privilege. In fact, in a radio debate some years ago I challenged a different guest–who cited whites’ higher incomes as proof of privilege–to be true to his rationale and speak of Jewish privilege (which he wouldn’t dare do). His response?

    Jewish people can’t be privileged because we know they’ve suffered discrimination.

    Of course, this is circular reasoning. Higher incomes were proof of his ideology–except when his ideology said that higher incomes weren’t.

    But that’s the left-reason Left for you. They don’t need facts or logic.

    When you have been brainwashed into believing that your plight in the world is someone else fault that is hard to recover from. It is as much a sickness or disease as alcohol or drugs. Its addicting factor is very strong.

    Fallacy of So-Called “White Privilege” that Allegedly Buoys Up Whites


    It’s the newest claim from the left to further their agenda and like many things claimed by leftists, it’s simply not true. However, that doesn’t matter because they know that once they start beating their drums repetitively, people will come to believe what those drums say. It’s because today especially, too many people lack critical thinking skills.

    White privilege is actually the latest insult directed towards (mainly) white males. Though it is seen as something new, the claim really been around for many decades. It came to the surface mainly due to a man named Derrick Bell. “Derrick Albert Bell, Jr. (November 6, 1930 – October 5, 2011)[2] was the first tenured African-American Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and is largely credited as one of the originators of critical race theory (CRT).”

    “White Privilege” is part of the Critical Race Theory (CRT) matrix, the idea that white people – whether they know it or not – are privileged people in society, especially American society. Critical Race Theory has many flaws but is still used by people who are looking for any excuse to push white people to the back of the line, or out of the line altogether.

    Sure you did. That's why you're talking about it right now.

    It doesn't even come close to white folks trying to deny the existence of white privilege.

    What are those numbers for Jews and non-Jews, and is "Jewish privilege" a myth?

    Nice suggestion. 46% of Jewish household have annual incomes over $100,000, as compared to 18% of the general population [http://www.quora.com/Do-Jews-in-the-United-States-have-higher-income-than-non-Jews]. If income disparity indicates privileged v. nonprivileged, as you indicate, Jews are the most privileged of Americans. Where are your condemnations of that? Too non-PC to state?

    When demographics are done, they are considered white. So we're in the same place.

    And most of the Jews in the US are counted as white.

    They're so "privileged" that several million of them were snuffed out not so long ago.

    Is that what the "white privilege" mantra is really all about? An excuse for killing whites?

    That was Europe. This is about racism and racial prejudice in the United States. So what happened to the Jews in Europe has nothing to do with racism and racial prejudice in the US.

    Well as we can see by recent events, the white privileged don't need an excuse other than "I feared for my life" or "he reached into his ____" to kill.

    You mean "Jewish privilege" is a subgroup of "white privilege?" If so, you think like Farrakan.

    Of course it does.

    In your twisted little mind, nothing has to be true or make sense.
