I keep hearing a lot about white privilege. It's slowly replacing the ridiculous playing of the race card whenever someone disagrees with a liberal politician, who happens to be black, or when someone mentions the high crime rates in certain places.
In other words, you cannot escape guilt. Through no fault of your own, you were born white and that means you are the part of the problem unless you immediately adopt liberal views regarding race. It's mostly about agreeing to let politicians take as much of your money as they want and shutting the hell up.
Of course, the liberal author points out that blacks are killed a lot. She doesn't even mention that 93% of the time, they are killed by other minorities. That would blow too many holes in the theory that minorities have targets on them and whites have their fingers on the triggers. She points out that black-sounding names on resumes don't get as much attention. That is an argument to increase affirmative action. In other words, no equality. The left wants to tilt the playing field instead of having the players treated equally.
When it comes to employers, they want and need the best people. They will hire the best qualified people because it's crazy not to do that. Sad truth is that there are more whites finishing school than minorities. The answer isn't to artificially elevate people, but to insist that they elevate themselves. That is true equality. Of course, it would mean looking at the problem and being willing to face some hard truths. Namely that liberal policies, which caused a breakdown of black families, is at the root of the problem. Poverty is likely when unmarried women have children. The more children, the bigger the welfare check. The children are growing up in a household with no role model to show them how to succeed.
Poverty affects all races, but because the left targets blacks with their programs, it affects more minorities. By harping for years that Republicans are racist because they expect people to practice more personable responsibility and that the left will simply take care of people from cradle to grave, many have adopted the myth that this makes the left more benevolent. Since many children know nothing other than a life of dependency, it seems normal to them and anyone wanting them to make changes are just mean.
As more people talk about the root cause of poverty and the importance of families, the left has now moved to talk of white privilege in order to continue their rhetoric and convince minorities that they are born unfortunate. So, by being born a certain color, you are either automatically entitled or automatically required to pay. That pretty much covers all the liberal policies.
With the race card worn out from misuse, they had to switch tactics. With it getting harder to convince people that they should pay more in taxes to subsidize millions more each year, they have declared guilt and intend to make us pay. It reminds me of the money and property forfeiture laws that were originally intended for drug dealers and now used against everyone. You need not be charged or proven guilty in order to have things confiscated from you. With white privilege, there is assumed guilt and even if you can prove you are innocent, it doesn't matter because fighting the government is usually a no-win situation.
From the link regarding the liberal's comments:
No amount of social engineering, wealth redistribution, or government manipulation will prevent tragedies from occurring; on the contrary, the greatest tragedies in human history were created by the government itself. What the government can do is stop reinforcing this bias through its policies, and stop exacerbating the problem by fostering anger and mutual animosity.
Simply put: White privilege is a phrase used to elicit an emotional response from people who look for emotions, and is not relevant to every particular case. It is prejudicial on its face, and used to discredit the opinions of an entire group of people, whether or not the points they raise are valid.
