WHITE PRIVILEGE???

Privilege, prerogative refer to a special advantage or right possessed by an individual or group. A privilege is a right or advantage gained by birth, social position, effort, or concession. It can have either legal or personal sanction: the privilege of paying half fare; the privilege of calling whenever one wishes.

I am qualified to write about this with absolute authority having lived for almost 85 years in the USA as a white Christian male. As a white teenager, my two friends and I were arrested and jailed overnight for driving through a small Oklahoma town at 2:00 am because we were in a bright colored car. The police said they had a report of a car matching the description that was involved in some type of disturbance. We were just coming home from hanging out at the lake swimming. We were released the next morning without charges. They just wanted us off the street. So much for white privilege.

A few years later, while driving my own car, my friend and I were going home after hanging out at a drive-in restaurant in downtown Tulsa. We lived on the west side of the river, and we were taking a shortcut through a very affluent neighborhood. The police pulled us over and said we matched the description of a couple of guys involved in a burglary. It was a bald-faced lie, they knew we were from the wrong side of town and wanted to harass us by threatening us with arrest and towing my car. I talked my way out of it, but the officers parting words were go back on your side of town and don’t come back. So much for white privilege.

Can’t remember catching a break because I was a white boy, I had to work all through high school to afford an old beater car. Working as a burger flipper in those days would get you about .65 an hour. Great money, it bought gas and a Saturday night at the drive-in movies. I bought used tires for my car, and found cleaver ways to steal beer. Yeah, so much for that white privilege thing.

I can tell you; we had real fear of law enforcement. They watched us close, if we messed up bad enough we were arrested, or at least received a traffic ticket and had to appear in court. Nobody cut us a break because we were white kids. What a joke. It was serious shit to steal; threshold amount for felony theft (grand larceny) was $20.00. Anything below that was classified as petty theft. We pretty much walked the line. My mother was tough as a boot, she told me if I found myself in Jail, I could figure out how to get out, because she didn’t have any criminals in her family, and wasn’t going to have any criminals in her family. I got the message.

WHITE PRIVILEGE IN SCHOOL??

You have to be joking!

WHITE PRIVILEGE IN THE WORKPLACE?

I officially entered the workforce for real in 1959. I would say that white privilege in the workplace was a real thing. However, when I think about it, it was a little more complicated than just privilege. Public schools had just been de-segregated, and blacks were not yet being integrated into the workforce. There were blacks working in the shop where I worked in janitorial positions. I worked in a Boilermakers Union shop, and the Tulsa local Boilermaker’s Union was 100% white in those days, as were most unions. All white folks in labor unions shouldn’t be a surprise; they were Democrat controlled.

A few years later when I moved to California, I switched to the Ironworkers Union, don’t remember any black union Ironworkers during those years. So, due to my chosen line of work, I can’t say I witnessed any white privilege. I do remember working with a black Ironworker in the seventies, we were both foremen. He worked in the shop next to mine, and we became good friends. Solid guy, hard worker. If you were a member of the Union and knew your craft, you were treated just like everyone else, regardless. Not a fan of Unions, but that is a definite advantage.

I have to insert a funny story at this point. Later in the nineties, I owned a steel shop in Washington state. My passion outside of work was British sportscars. I owned a Triumph TR7. I wore a jacket at work with a Union Jack on the left breast. One day a black weldor applied for a job and I hired him. After I hired him, he expressed his surprise that someone with a Confederate flag on their jacket would give him a job. He had no idea what a British flag looked like.

As a business owner and shop manager of several other steel shops, I didn’t care what color applicants were, I gave them a test related to their skills, if they passed I hired ’em. If they turned out to be duds, I fired ’em. No drama.

BLACK PRIVILEGE, IT’S REAL BABY

One of the largest driving forces behind the destructive culture of black Americans are white Americans with “white guilt”. What is it?

An indicator of limited reasoning capabilities.

The basic concept is guilt felt by white people for the historic mistreatment of non-white people from white people.

“I’m white. He’s white. He’s bad. Therefore I’m bad. I’m so sorry, please forgive me.”

This is foolish for multiple reasons: ]

• Other people did it. Feeling guilty for other people’s actions does not make sense.
• Other people were bad. There is no race of people that is pure. It is not just people that were white who did bad. If white guilt is a thing, then so should black guilt, oriental guilt, and so on.
• There were good white people. If white guilt is legitimate, then so should white pride. Why is one racist and the other acceptable?
• White people also mistreated each-other. France, Germany, England, all were at war with each other. England and Ireland had conflicts. Heck, Irish people and other Irish people, not too long ago. Are they victims or oppressors?

White guilt is something no one should go through. Sayed Hajaj answering the question “what is white guilt”.

So, you get it, it’s moronic whites repenting for racial sins they did not commit. No matter what race you are, you are not responsible for every bad thing your particular race did in the past. You are an individual person, only responsible for your own wrong doings. By the way, whites didn’t invent slavery although some participated in it.

So, why would a reasonably intelligent person feel this way? Because they were brainwashed by the American educational system. These are the same people that decry colonialism and constantly apologize to Native Americans for the Europeans stealing their land, which, by the way their ancestors stole hundreds of years before.

So instead of emphasizing education, nuclear families, and religion, the geniuses in our “fix everything mindset government” created endless “equal opportunity laws”, and “affirmative action”. Which by the way almost completely destroyed education, nuclear families, and religion in black families. However, it did the one thing the Democrats knew it would, it created a permanent voting bloc, and put the blacks back on the Democrat plantation.

The Democrats under Biden were well aware of how well that plan worked, so they wrapped up the same old crap and put a brand-new label on it called DEI. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Luckily, most people saw it for what it was, same bullshit, different packaging. Knowing it was going to be a bit of a hard sell, they invented two new phrases to flank it, “disinformation” and “misinformation”, and twisted the arms of the social media giants to go along with it.

The bottom line here folks is that the government has created a special class of people that are moved to the head of the line when they least deserve it, given lenient sentences for all sorts of crimes, including murder. Coddled, and patted on their asses so they don’t make a fuss, even while they are looting a high-end department store. Everyone turns their heads while they are shop lifting drug stores out of business. I’m going to wrap this us by showing you a Matt Walsh video that brings it all together.

Stay alert people, don’t fall for the same old B.S. in glossy new packaging. Remember, politicians never change and can never, ever be trusted.
