Nobody said anything about white privilege. What are you going on about? The specific wording of privilege pertains to wealth and to the alleged victim status. Wording that was used in two different contexts by George Will.
U jelly?
The specific wording is about whites checking their privilege, I can point you to multiple threads on this board that back me up. I haven't been through them, but I would not be surprised to find out that you are participating in them, and arguing against the very thing you are now trying to claim isn't a problem.
The problem you have with George Will is that he is right. I know that offends you, and upsets your victim status, but that is your fucking problem, not mine.
George Will: Colleges become the victims of progressivism - The Washington PostColleges and universities are being educated by Washington and are finding the experience excruciating. They are learning that when they say campus victimizations are ubiquitous (micro-aggressions, often not discernible to the untutored eye, are everywhere), and that when they make victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges, victims proliferate. And academias progressivism has rendered it intellectually defenseless now that progressivisms achievement, the regulatory state, has decided it is academias turn to be broken to governments saddle.
Consider the supposed campus epidemic of rape, a.k.a. sexual assault. Herewith, a Philadelphia magazine report about Swarthmore College, where in 2013 a student was in her room with a guy with whom shed been hooking up for three months:
Theyd now decided mutually, she thought just to be friends. When he ended up falling asleep on her bed, she changed into pajamas and climbed in next to him. Soon, he was putting his arm around her and taking off her clothes. I basically said, No, I dont want to have sex with you. And then he said, OK, thats fine and stopped. . . . And then he started again a few minutes later, taking off my panties, taking off his boxers. I just kind of laid there and didnt do anything I had already said no. I was just tired and wanted to go to bed. I let him finish. I pulled my panties back on and went to sleep.
Six weeks later, the woman reported that she had been raped. Now the Obama administration is riding to the rescue of sexual assault victims. It vows to excavate equities from the ambiguities of the hookup culture, this cocktail of hormones, alcohol and the faux sophistication of todays prolonged adolescence of especially privileged young adults.
You wanna try that shit again?
The problem you have with George Will is that he is right. I know that offends you, and upsets your victim status, but that is your fucking problem, not mine.
Want to try and explain why he is wrong so I can shove your incredible ignorance down your throat, or do you just want to point to the facts he is slamming you idiots with and cry because you can't deal with the truth?
