The ugly double standards of White Privilege

Which one of the bastards did it??

They already are. The Kool Aid Brigade will use the claim "RACISM!!!!!!!!!" when Barry O. gets smoked in November. Never mind their candidate slit hiw own throat. They can't possibly conceive McCain beating The Anointed One so they will claim Americans are racist. They are already laying the groundwork for that.

Two posts that look funny in a row:

Its Jim Crow and Volpone is very wrong about how Asians were treated in the 60s.

You're way off pal. Is that how you really think?

I wonder what KIRK has to say about this???


How bout anyone else?

Well this is sure true. Yep!!

The Coyote Ugly post seems to have drawn no attention.

First three were white privilege, after that it turned to just "republican privilege".

Maybe he doesn't think that way, but many folks do. I work with mainly blacks, and if Obama loses it will be very tense indeed.
It sure was during the last election, so with Obama running PLUS it will be the third time a President was "selected, not elected".
I'm keeping a low profile as much as possible.

Maybe things are different in the NYC area, but in a city in Georgia?
I expect very few level heads prevailing if Obama loses.

Guess you two have something in common.

Here's a little bit of white privilege. I bet he feels like he's OK here.

Hmmm. this is very interesting.

I suspect there will be some anger expressed by a few people regardless of the result, but the idea that there will be some mass breakdown of civil society? That's crazy.

Just the way it is around here. It's The South, with a deep dark (no pun intended) history and there is a lot of tension boiling just under the surface. But something like Obama losing will be added to the long "reasons to not trust whitey" list.

No comment on none of it, eh?! Fingers in ears. La la la la la la.

Head in the sand.

I'm glad I don't feel that way. And more glad I'm not around people like that.

I know a few black Republicans, but they are Jamaican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, African, etc. All the "American" blacks will be very pissed off.

I think Powacrazy summed it up pretty well. Some is about white privilege, all of it is about kid gloves for Republicans. Let's take race out of it for a minute, though. Consider a point re-stated:

Can anybody disagree that a double standard is playing?

Pissed enough to run screaming in the streets???

Let's hope not!

For sure it will be one more reason drug dealers and armed robbers will give for their excuses for why they "have" to turn to crime to survive.
Blacks can't get ahead in the white system, so it's not their fault.

You might not be aware that the "whites" that blacks bemoan are the same ones that many whites bemoan.

We had slavery in the 1960s!? Damn. I gotta reread my history books.

You hate my boss to, eh?!

And true.

White people seem to be scared.

No.

Fed up.

Fed up with what?

Victim mentalities.

No. But you did have segregation, voter suppression, laws against interracial marriage, and a whole slew of institutional racism designed to repress blacks (not to mention the occasional lynching or two). We're dealing with the legacy of a system our forbearers quite purposely built.

'Cause it's not like there are any white people with those.
