There is no such thing as "White Privilege." That is some crap people fed you to control your mind & get votes. Obama would not be President if we had "White Privilege" in this country. 96% of blacks voted democrat even when a black person was not on the ticket 2 more percent did not make Obama president, it was white people. We have a Congressional Black Caucus made up of leaders who got there without the help of the "Affirmative Action" law. There is no "White Privilege" in this county except in your mind & it was planted there by politics. That mind control keeps you down when you actually have more rights than any white man in this country. You have been conditioned to vote for those who are planting those thoughts & keeping you down.
This country has an "Affirmative Action" law guaranteeing "Black Privilege." Bottom line is white males such as I, born since 1960 have experienced nothing but "Black Privilege." There is no such thing as the mythical "White Privilege" when whites & blacks compete for Jobs, Home Loans, Schools, Student Loans Business Contracts, or Business Grants & Loans, only "Black Privilege" guaranteed by law. The politicians you vote for have put "Chains On Your Brain" to keep you from trying & succeeding. They don't believe in school vouchers & no child left behind. Democrats still believe in creating black communities with bad schools to continue the programming of the black mind. Why else would they force gifted black students to stay in a failing school instead of letting them have vouchers to excellent schools that don't teach race & privilege? Some degree of "Class Privilege" may exist but not "White Privilege."
In this country you get what you earn! You have been taught to whine like a child instead of work like a man. It is time for you to grow up, break those Chains Off Of Your Brain & act like a man!!!
Aren't you whining like a child?
I am not whining about Obama being president. I am talking to a racist who believes white men such as I caused problems between blacks. The fact is the Affirmative Action law does literally discriminate against white men & that can't be denied. I have experienced the evil quota boss & took action in my own hands & moved on. I don't sit around blaming others for my lot in life. I went on and made my own despite the law.
Affirmative Action does not discriminate against white men, and yes, it can be denied.
Is Affirmative Action Still Needed?
Derrick A. Bell Jr., Lecture: California's Proposition 209: A Temporary Diversion On the Road to Racial Disaster, 30 Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review, 1447 (1997)
This author explores the motives for establishing and terminating remedies for racial injustice. He contends that history clearly illustrates society's willingness to sacrifice the rights of people of color for the advancement of economic or political interests. (27) An additional charge is that society will only remedy racial wrongs when the remedy furthers these same interests.
Great emphasis surrounding affirmative action discussion is placed in the term "merit." However, you hardly ever hear this term outside of affirmative action arguments because merit has little to do with "making it." (28) "In short, the phony pennant of merit serves as the false banner or color-blindness, used as justification for opposition to affirmative action."(29) The author poses the question that if a genuine concern exists regarding college admissions based upon merit, why is there no discussion regarding termination of "legacy admits." Also, while the general implication is that merit refers to standardized test scores, these determinants are more accurate reflections of the socio-economic status of the parents.(30)
Mr. Bell's theory is that Plessy v. Ferguson is the prime example of a policy that "sacrificed the rights of black people in order to gain the support of whites for business-oriented economic policies that harmed a great many whites." (31) While Brown v. Board of Education seemed to represent an end to the "separate but equal" fiction, it was only instituted because the U.S. was attempting to gain credibility with mostly non-white third-world nations and the U.S. discovered that Jim Crow policies did not make for attractive sales brochures.(32) The Brown directive was not implemented until the 1960s with the enactment with additional civil rights laws. The author asserts that once whites discovered that corrective action was "more than condemning the use of fire hoses and police dogs" on innocent children, but entailed foregoing "white only" privileges, willingness subsided and fear of jobs and well-being emerged. (33) Proposition 209, which is an aggressive effort to eliminate all affirmative action programs in California is similarly representative of this same concern. Proposition 209, according to Mr. Bell, is simply a diversion. The real threat to white economic security is "growing reliance on automation, deportation of jobs to third-world countries, and the importation of cheap foreign labor.(34) However, the current strength of the affirmative action opposition, painted in black face (black conservatives leading the charge) once again sacrifices the legitimate rights of people of color to appease whites.
Mr. Bell's essay was perhaps the most militant perspective on the affirmative action debate. His militant tone, however, does not undermine the merit of his observations. His point surrounding the word "merit" is one well taken. His theme is logical and compelling and his ideas will probably pick up steam as this debate wages on.
