1. I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.
Here on the west coast I can too and I don't have to be white...just an "undocumented worker".
2. I can avoid spending time with people whom I was trained to mistrust and who have learned to mistrust my kind or me.
Wish I could say the same...I'm surrounded by moonbats.
3. If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area which I can afford and in which I would want to live.
4. I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me.
I don't have a clue what this has to do with race as I've lived in neighborhoods with people of different races and never thought anything about it. In your case, however, it would only last until you opened your mouth and started in with the latest drooling moonbat rant.
5. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.
Well then I guess we know you aren't Brad Pitt.
6. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.
And this means what? Since television and to a lesser extent newspapers cater to the widest audience, wouldn't those ratios reflect the population at large?
7. When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
Sooo...we've been lied to about the race of the founding fathers? The Mayflower and other early settlers (which is when my own lily white ancestors came)? Were there a preponderance of black pioneers in the Donner Party who died first so we never heard about them?
8. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.
Oh I don't think you have to worry about public schools not being PC. Before I took my son out to homeschool he'd already made a Pueblo village out of Jello boxes and sugar cubes, celebrated the life of Martin Luther King, and had a celebration for Cinco de Mayo. Granted, because of where we live he did know about the Oregon Trail and Lewis & Clark (especially those Native Americans who helped them along the way). He did NOT, however, know about the Boston Tea Party, Jamestown, or Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, or John Adams. Thomas Jefferson & George Washington were grudgingly acknowledged since white, middle class NEA members got the day off for a Federal holiday.
9. If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege.
Any liberal publication would print this. They're as full of white guilt and bullsh*t as you are.
10. I can be pretty sure of having my voice heard in a group in which I am the only member of my race.
11. I can be casual about whether or not to listen to another person's voice in a group in which s/he is the only member of his/her race.
Okay, I have to admit...this one has thrown me. Does this mean you do stupid things like travel to places like Compton, CA or Harlem and scream about how sorry you are you're white? And let me guess...they all come up, pat you on the back and say "thank you, brother!" But, if someone from another race comes into your neighborhood you'll ignore him?
12. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the staple foods which fit with my cultural traditions, into a hairdresser's shop and find someone who can cut my hair.
Does this idiot live someplace that doesn't have a Jazz/Blues section? Even us hicks that shop at Walmart can generally find something by Miles Davis and I've yet to go into any grocery store that doesn't have tortillas, refried beans, okra, collards, pork rinds, or whatever else it is you think isn't represented.
13. Whether I use checks, credit cards or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial reliability.
Yeah, those damned racist card scanning machines! I've seen it a million times! Some poor Mexican or African American scans their credit card or check and lights start flashing, security comes running, someone calls 911...oh wait.
14. I can arrange to protect my children most of the time from people who might not like them.
Me too! I wanted to protect them from white, liberal guilt so I homeschooled.
15. I do not have to educate my children to be aware of systemic racism for their own daily physical protection.
I hear ya! My kids didn't grow up Sunni in a Shia neighborhood, or Jewish anywhere in France. Of course, one of my sons did play soccer on a Mexican team in a Mexican league. He was the only white guy but most of the violence came from the defenders on the other teams...does that count?
16. I can be pretty sure that my children's teachers and employers will tolerate them if they fit school and workplace norms; my chief worries about them do not concern others' attitudes toward their race.
Yeah, boy, you have to worry about that...the NEA being so concerned with racial quotas and all that. If you're an ethnic minority you can certainly count on having extra attention drawn to you.
17. I can talk with my mouth full and not have people put this down to my color.
Is there some ethnic thing about talking with your mouth full that I don't know about because this one has me confused.
18. I can swear, or dress in second hand clothes, or not answer letters, without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the poverty or the illiteracy of my race.
No they'll just think you're a rude slob.
19. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.
The NFL invited you to speak at one of their meetings? How'd you rate? Bet I could show up at the same meeting in a little black dress and they wouldn't question my race either.
20. I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race......
Yeah, no white liberal can accuse YOU of being clean and articulate!
