I am wondering where I can cash in on my white privilege. This particular Truth and Action writer is a very pale skinned woman and the privilege this whiteness has afforded me has been sunburn and freckles. That is about it. But apparently, former President Tim Wolfe of the University of Missouri is infected with white privilege and the many perks that go along with it and because of it he had to resign.
What exactly does this phrase mean? And more interestingly, why does it get applied to only the whites that are hated versus the whites that help push the dogma?
According to Jennifer Holladay’s bestseller, White Anti-Racist Activism: A Personal Roadmap, white privilege is
White skin privilege is not something that white people necessarily do, create or enjoy on purpose. Unlike the more overt individual and institutional manifestations of racism described above, white skin privilege is a transparent preference for whiteness that saturates our society. White skin privilege serves several functions. First, it provides white people with “perks” that we do not earn and that people of color do not enjoy. Second, it creates real advantages for us. White people are immune to a lot of challenges. Finally, white privilege shapes the world in which we live — the way that we navigate and interact with one another and with the world.
White privilege is a “transparent preference for whiteness…” well, my skin color verges on transparent, so perhaps I fit the bill.

Yes I do….
I was responding to the subject of the article which was “White Privilege.” If you read World History, the Egyptians, who were Black, not white like the liberal hollywood stereotype implies, were the first recognized Empire to use slaves, most of whom were black. In America, there were more White people who were ‘slaves’ than any other race until blacks began to be imported-BY SOUTHERN WHITE DEMOCRATS.
Slavery has been an institution throughout history and it is an ongoing business in Africa today although most people are not aware of it.
I believed my family and friends missed out on that white privilege when it was being handed out… where can we find our portion of our royal treatment?
Where did the term ‘racism’ actually originate? Documents indicate that the communist jew Leon Trotsky is the original source of such terms in his three volume book, History Of The Russian Revolution. Trotsky hated jews even though he was from a wealthy family. Whether this is actually true would require a lot more time to study than I am prepared to invest but you can read an article about it yourself at (http://infotextmanuscripts.org/man_who_invented_racism_3.html)
Personally, I just don’t knowingly employ democrats and that serves to cushion me from all the hatred the democrat party espouses.
I have no white guilt. I’m proud that I was blessed to be born the white man that I am.
Would someone please tell me what white privilege is. I keep hearing about this and I’d like to know how I could get some !!
I am also extremely blessed by God! What can I do about that? Help me please!
Whoever is starting this nonsense needs to stop.
Very thankful for it.
No.
