What “White Privilege” really means

Guest Post by Donald Sensing

What does “White Privilege” really mean?

It is the Left’s attempt to divert attention from the fact that they, and no one else, have virtually raped minority Americans, in education and economics, without relent for at least 50 years.

And every time someone uses W.P. toward me that is exactly how I respond.

Example, one of many, from How The Liberal Welfare State Destroyed Black America:

The results of welfare policies discouraging marriage and family were dramatic, as out-of-wedlock birthrates skyrocketed among all demographic groups in the U.S., but most notably African Americans. In the mid-1960s, the out-of-wedlock birth rate was scarcely 3% for whites, 7.7% for Americans overall, and 24.5% among blacks. By 1976, those figures had risen to nearly 10% for whites, 24.7% for Americans as a whole, and 50.3% for blacks specifically. And today, the numbers stand at 29% for whites, 41% for the nation overall, and 73% for blacks. In other words, the entire country is moving rapidly in the wrong direction, but blacks in particular have reached a point of veritable catastrophe.

The devastating societal consequences of family breakdown cannot be overstated. Father-absent families—black and white alike—generally occupy the bottom rung of America’s economic ladder.

Given the ultra-racist history of the Democrat party, it is simply impossible for me to believe that no one in the party understood this would happen. This was done on purpose and by design. Black Americans were solidly Republican before LBJ’s administration; the 1964 civil rights act passed by a Democrat Congress had in fact first been introduced into Congress by Republicans in the 1950s, when Democrats then voted it down decisively.

Why the change in 1964. LBJ’s comment before the legislation was voted tells you all you need to know:

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.”

Even the Huffington Post can face real history, now and then: “The Democratic Party’s Two-Facedness of Race Relations.”

“White privilege” means white middle class workers are expected to support all the non working minorities and other freeloaders and shut up about the unfairness of it.

Most blacks are to stupid to see cause and effect . Besides it’s much easier blaming someone else for your problems.

W.P. is PC for White Oppression; just more Communist Double Speak (in is out, up is down, Evil is Good…). Vote Trump or get a lot more White Privilege crammed down your throat by Harpy’s Boot.

“White privilege” exists because black people enable it; didn’t Malcolm X demand that black people only do business, support and patronize black establishments? How well did that work out?

What, black people didn’t build WalMart, Intel or Apple? Why not, was it all institutionalized racism? Were there NO black entrepreneurs, black shopkeepers, black manufacturers? Oh, yeah, Jheri-Curl, Motown Records, several food companies, there were a few. But why no black chemical companies, black auto companies, black nuclear utilities, black semiconductor companies?

Oh right, these things are not valued in the black community. Building a major corporation requires bribing the proper politicians, securing undervalued resources to exploit, buying open land somewhere cheap to build a facility, dealing with endless rules and regulations and solid, long-term effort over decades. That last one is the hardest, and why so few people (of any color) manage to build something big and new from scratch; overcoming the built-in power of political donations, connections, pre-existing “friendships” that preclude new competition and so forth is HARD. Can’t take time off for hard-partying weekends, hangovers, “just don’t feel like its” and bone-tired fatigue: you can’t make it if you’re not every-day all-day committed. Then add the proclivity for riots and “burn this mother down” which tends to happen in BLACK neighborhoods: build for a decade and lose it all overnight in a riot?

“White privilege” is an attempted guilt trip, to be laid on those who didn’t earn it by those who did.

“White Privilege” is born of jealousy, and stems from inferior intellect. I posted this earlier on another post, it’s relevant here as well:

I don’t see the point in accepting that I have privilege. It is a poisioned chalice. If I was to do this I would be expected to then spend rest of my life giving it away to those deemed less fortunate than me.

It is true that some are born into a more comfortable life than others, but not remembering reincarnation or understanding reincarnation leads many to suspect that others are responsible for their circumstances in this life, especially circumstances that seem to conspire against them.

People who deride the reality of reincarnation are ignorant and uninformed. Edgar Cayce probably provides the greater modern insight into reincarnation. Reincarnation is mentioned in the bible 3 times, 70% of the worlds population believes in some form of reincarnation, and many studies have been reported seeming to confirm the idea of reincarnation. But…people choose to reject it because it is easier to blame another than to blame oneself for ones circumstances in life.

Very few have come into this life without having chosen it. We are all on a spiritual quest and a life of opulence might be the very life that hinders our spiritual development. There is a reason that life is so diverse in experiences. It is because ones man’s meat is another man’s poison, spiritually, so to speak. We choose what we need before we are born and after we are born we continue choosing.

We are born into this world to do battle, not with our neighbor but with ourselves. I have met the enemy and he is truly I. Many have been born into dire circumstances and have raise their lives to reflect a standard that is as a beacon to mankind. How is this possible? Through choice.

As a person of color, I’m kinda pink, I have my problems and failures in life like everyone else as no one escapes meeting themselves. Some of my most insignificant problems have led to my greatest understanding when viewed later in life.

You were given life and chose the circumstance in which to be born, make the most of it and like the Parable of the Talents leave this life as to one who increased his measure.

jamesthewanderer says, “White privilege” is an attempted guilt trip…” laid on whites. White Privilege is a label used by the progressive liberal establishment to categorize non existent behavior further segmenting society, and isolating social groups. A divisive tactic that serves their agenda. Divide and conquer comes to mind.

These crackers held us in bondage and slavery so we want compensation was the mantra a few years ago. But it wasn’t true. Most everyone neither held or owned slaves and no blacks were slaves or sold into slavery. That idea didn’t fly even tho it led to ‘affirmative action’ , reverse discrimination, in this country. The idea was, that a wrong compounded would some how be right. It failed because the premise upon it was based was faulty.

White Privilege is just a notch up from affirmative action. These crackers have ‘white privilege’ so we need affirmative action to remedy this discrimination. The premise is still just as faulty.

God help us and save us from these Progressive Liberals who would cast us upon the Procrustean Bed of fairness.
