We are all told it exists and drives the seen and unseen racial atrocities of the day. Yet, when white people ask why they should feel guilty over something that they cannot control, they are told that's not the purpose of the WP awareness exercise. So what's the end game? Every time someone says they admit it exists and then asks what they have to do about it, no one really gives a definitive answer as to what the solution is. Is step one to make it an accepted premise then have some bitter, seething college professor come up with the solution that he hands to the guilty white people to spread around the liberal blogosphere?
I was going to take you seriously. Then I read your last sentence.

You're not going to educate us on the purpose of the existence of the WP theory because some old man said something you found offensive?

Dude, just admit it. You have no real understanding of WP doctrine or what the end game is. Us white folk are the ones you need to educate so we can get rid of the problem, remember? Here's a good opportunity.

Well DuBois believed that an intellectual class of blacks would lead them out of subjugation, his views were at odds with another great black thinker of the time, GWC who was more of a white apologist and wanted a more gradual, cooperative move out of subjugation.

Not sure what your point is.

Awesome. I'm glad that he and the rest of the posters who agree have academic work to base this ridiculous statement. That doesn't change my point about futility.

I'm quite sure Zach would also then concede that based on success and awards given that Jews are far superior to whites and Christians. Amirite?

Well, what's the normal first step for someone in this day and age who's genuinely interested in learning about something (as opposed to recoiling in horror from it and defeating the concept at all costs?) I suspect, for most of our generation, it's checking Wikipedia. Let's start with the first sentence.
quote:

White privilege is a term for societal privileges that benefit white people beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people in the same social, political, or economic circumstances.
I bolded the last part because it's the part that seems to elude people who try to argue against white privilege by copy/pasting arguments against affirmative action and reenacting the Four Yorkshiremen sketch. The poorest, gayest, white cripple still has white privilege.

Yes, Jews and Asians have higher IQ's than whites.

Zach believes that and he uses the book the Bell Curve which is the only piece of literature in the last 20 year which states that. Zach ignores a whole body of research which has evidence that blacks do not have a lower IQ, but Zach doesn't want to read other pieces of literature which contradicts his favorite source, The Bell Curve. Zach uses the Bell Curve to justify his racism.

This is from the wiki article on polygyny in Islam

When Europeans first came into contact with the Muslim world in the nineteenth century, they declared the Islamic faith and the society it controlled backwards and uncivilized.[23]



So, no. Wiki is not for me

I'm white. I can claim white privilege.
I'm American and not Mexican. I can claim American privilege.
I didn't come from big money. Can't claim rich privilege.
I'm not Jewish. Can't claim Jewish privilege.
I'm male. I can claim male privilege.
I'm human and not an animal. I can claim human privilege.
I'm also not handicapped.
I'm not sickly.

What's that for my privilege score. 6 out of 8. Not bad and I can think of more. I guess I won't be whining. I'll leave that to the discontented.

Where did I say I found it offensive? Your reading skills are poor. As is your deductive reasoning.

Lastly, it isn't my job to educate you nor do I feel any pressure to do so. This whole entitlement white culture of having to be spoon fed info is sad. Get off your azz and do some reading. Once you have then I might be inclined to get into a discussion. As of now, it is like talking to a dog. I know you can hear me, and you look cute when you cock your head appearing to be listening, but I'm not going to waste time.

you're mis-stating the discussion

we don't want information spoon fed. we want actual operative definitions and examples instead of amorphous "shades of grey" that shift and destroy discussions

and then, you people do this. you hide behind perceived intellectual superiority because you refuse to use actual definitions

hell, liberals on this board don't even like being called liberal...they run away from the most basic definitions
