Confederate Flag Prom Photo With Gun-Toting High Schoolers Backfires

[VOL 425]

there's seriously no point. i'm thinking because there's too much guilt attached to the notion of white privilege for the older white men who post here. completely unnecessary guilt btw, unless some of them are closet klan members. they can't grasp that simply by having white skin, they've had the advantage. not by anything they've done or haven't done, simply by having white skin.

I have never had any guilt about the color of my skin.

I never realized the power of being a White American until I went to Philippines, I am treated like a Greek God there.

Woman and small children bow at my feet, I am treated like a King, all due to the color of my skin

I love it............

No. She means that the "older white men who post here" believe that 'white privilege' means white people feeling guilty for being white. If that is what you think, then you (and they) continue to miss the point.

BTW - have you ever noticed how many times you refer to yourself in a single post? Six times in the above post alone. Interesting.

Purposely so, I would add.

More than likely. Never understood this desire among some posters to appear deliberately narcissistic. First Justashooter, then Gary and now this guy.

You've received some already.

Are you followed when you are shopping?

Are you arrested after a big purchase?

Are you shot when you are asked for your license?

Do people assume you are paying with EBT when you go grocery shopping?

These are just a view things you have received due to your WP membership card. *Note, this privilege may not be passed on to people of color.

Robbed after a day of shopping

Shot while looking for your car keys

Followed down the street before a polar bear hunt .

Love the WP

White privilege is about recognising inequality in the present resulting from oppression in the past.

It has nothing to do with personal prejudice.

I don't know if I qualify as older but I embraced my WP last night. Free beer and wine at the Andaz downtown last night between 5 and 8. I had a friend in town staying there and he asked me to meet him in the lobby bar. The waitress asked if I was staying in the hotel and knowing full well she wouldn't question me I said 'yes'.

Got my white privilege swerve on...yep.

i say old because the only reason i can think of as to why wp is such a hard concept for some members to grasp. i assume it's hard headedness, which i've always assume comes with age. the whole 'damn kids get off my lawn'. white privelege is passive. it's not a card you can pull out and use or put away or save for later. same as being black isn't a 'race card' that you can pull.

There needs to be more special privilege cards printed up.

We need an Asian privilege card.

A professional athlete privilege card.

A native American privilege card.

still don't get it. not surprised.

It's not even a case of trying to get it at this point.

There appears to be a strong desire to be purposefully and deliberately ignorant by not engaging in any way with the idea that a concept such as white privilege could be anything more than a bumper sticker slogan. Presumably one perpetrated by guilt-ridden bleeding-heart liberals.

They sell weed?

[decocker 7,198]

They sell weed?

i doubt it. one of them has been straight edge for like twenty years.

I might appear that way, but it might also be there are limitations involved. Never underestimate the power of blissfulness..

Purposely so, I would add.
