Save for a few loons and suck ups, I doubt anyone seriously believes that.


I thought that's the way I'm supposed to feel.


What funeralxempire said.

White privilege isn't a reason to feel ashamed or personally guilty. You didn't choose for it to exist or create it. It's something to be aware of when you're hearing people who might not benefit from it describe their experience.


It's just that I keep reading on a daily basis about how evil white people are.

This white-shaming crap only occurs amongst academics who always have their nose in books.

They don’t hang out with very many actual people.


I expect this from the usual Trump apologists but a little disappointed this came from you Kraftie?

White privilege is a recognised social psychological phenomenon with very real consequences for non-white minorities

Just because it's invisible to many white folk they make the mistake of assuming it doesn't exist

Well the whole American south gets to be the scapegoat for all the racism in the USA because of the whole slavery thing. But like I said, white-shaming ain't going to solve the issues of racism. If anything it makes racism worse.


The south gets special mention for state run institutionalised racism involving elected politicians and police involved in intimidation and assassination of civil rights protestors to scare black civilians from voting. It was not till the late 1960s when J Edgar Hoover had to send hundreds of FBI operatives and even involved the Mafia to break up the KKK which was larger than the boy scout movement in grass roots southern white christian communities.

Local black people are still scared to travel in much of the south even today as there's plenty of communities where they are still not welcome. At least that's not the case in the north.

>invited to University to talk about her book

>spends entire talk berating white people

"why are you burning my book, you racists? Don't you know I'm non-white?"


Bookburning is bad no matter who does it, but acting as though this is motivated by her skin-colour rather than the things she says is disingenuous.

Indeed. Racist author writes racist book, spews racism in campus talk, and then is shocked — shocked, I tell you! — when students protest her racism. :roll:

Why is this such a shock?? she respects her ancestry

Here in Australia we have black aboriginal people too who are proud to be aboriginal even if they look white (they actually call themselves "blackfellas")

Another hypocrisy, where’s the outrage when left burns books? Oh no it’s ok then. :roll:
Book burning is free select and righteous until non leftest do it then it’s horrible and evil.

Who ever said that? All books should be off limits for burning.

Right my saying multiple times that my smattering of Sioux ancestry didn't make me anything close to being an American Indian, would of course lead you to think I was calling myself a native.

Never seen any leftist here or in media speak out against it, always defending it. It’s their first amendment rights they say, it’s righteous.

“They deserved to be assaulted”

Etc etc. but talking to you is waste of time and pointless. I don’t forget how you treated me. You’ll never see anyone on the left as guilty of anything
