He is at best one of those three.

I'm a straight white man and I have unfair privileges in life as a result.

Doesn't mean I have no grievances, or that I can't suffer, or that I can't find common ground with others not in that category. But the privilege is there and needs to be admitted to before I and others like me can be truly effective activists for change and the greater good.

I've never consciously acted in such a way as to enforce my privilege, but it is there.

This is a thread to for SWM's of goodwill to acknowledge privilege and for others to indicate what we should change in our tones and actions to adjust for it.

Started in the name of creating left-of-center unity.


Look for many others to self-flagellate in a similar manner. Oy.

Well, white privilege ain't worth a damn to a DUmmie because they sure aren't going to use it......or any other privilege that might entail a little effort on their part.

In fact, their so-called "white privilege" works against them in many cases. Minorities working in social services offices often give other minorities more help in getting aid while making the crackers jump through hoops to get assistance.

If what that worthless dreckbomb has is 'privilege,' it's obviously not worth a shit and nobody should worry about it.

Ya know, I have never seen a list of unfair white privileges.
It is just a way to label innocent people as bigots just for being white.
I have never seen a list of micro aggressions either.

I think liberals just like having the power to label anything as bigotry.

That is your problem. You always complain non-stop. You see the world as full of injustices left and right. Typical of leftists. Always bitter and resentful. :mental:

H-5! Cogent. Laconic.

I'm oxygen-privileged! I get all I want because I'm breathing. Six decades of being oxygen-privileged! And still counting!! It's shameful and horrifying!!! :whatever: :yawn:

If there is a list I am sure "asking to see the list" is on it.

The label at the bottom of the VU meter should be, "BS Meter". Make that change and it's very good; bend the needle to represent slamming the peg, and it would be even better.

Those minor quibbles aside, ehhhh-cellent!
