White privilege diminishes our humanity: 10 Commitments for meaningful change

[abiG]

I honestly thought this "White Privileged" stuff was a joke, but apparently this is being taken seriously.

Note: the author, who happens to be the President of an American University warns us (LOL) that:
These actions will not end white privilege but will make us aware of it in our lives, and in the long run give us the more just and humane world we seek.

For more background:
College President Wants All Whites to Acknowledge Their ‘Privilege’
Head of the private Seattle University says people must 'make compensation or reparation in practical ways'

And:
...In an incredibly divisive and ludicrous opinion piece titled, “White Privilege Diminishes Our Humanity: 10 Commitments for Meaningful Change,” Seattle University president Stephen V. Sundborg urged not only white students attending the school, but all white people in the country, to acknowledge their “privilege.”

In order to make this argument, Sundborg, who is a Jesuit Priest, uses the typical unsubstantiated talking points we hear all the time from the Left...

By being arrogant enough to claim that you're privileged... Implies that you are better than other people. Which is why minorities don't even use the term.

Only white losers who were told to feel bad and guilty about something they have no control over use the term privileged. Could you stick your fucking nose in the air any higher?

What's up with the footprints? They don't look like that.

One common response among the more asinine rejoinders to my column is that I am arguing for “men’s rights” or some such. I’m not. First of all, I don’t believe in men’s rights, because I don’t believe in group rights. I believe in things such as natural rights, human rights, American rights, or, simply, individual rights. I understand that this can get tricky when whole groups or classes of people are denied rights wholesale. This is why, for example, it was perfectly proper for suffragettes and early feminists to talk about “women’s rights.” But while the bigotry that is associated with the denial of group rights is offensive, the bigotry itself isn’t the crime or injustice, the denial of individual rights is.

A little later on...

We live in an age where any rule, custom, or norm that benefits the people we hate is wrong or irrelevant and any rule, custom, or norm that benefits the people we support is vital to the health of our democracy.

It is a social engineering strategy to apply collective guilt techniques on target demographics, and is part of an ideological subversion program that is international in scope.

It's always someone in their collegiate bubble that says shit like this... You ever notice that?

Often times yes because it is pushed in the school system (especially in the humanities departments and political activism wings). There is a certain type of radical left wing ideology that gets promoted that focuses on identity politics and agitates along racial lines.

Nevermind the fact that 72 percent of the time when a black cop shoots a suspect.. The suspect is black.. much bias, such racism.

How did this madness infect a Jesuit institution of higher learning!?

A cleansing ritual or some sacrament needs to be performed for the entire university grounds.

Yeah, sounds like 80 percent of Hillary Clintons campaign.

Asians are on a global scale more successful. If whites are privileged, so are Asians. They're so smart they get turned down from Universities due to muh diversity even though their test scores would make any other race a shoe-in.

The regressive lefties especially whites love to play feel good by treating other races like victims. It's funny.

 

[mixcontactsport]

look guys, I'm not a left or a right. I believe they're both the same. I don't hate anybody. I was born in America, but I feel like a foreigner here. I'm a minority, even though some would say otherwise. Privilege exist everywhere, it's all around the World even in America. We all have privileges, everyone on this planet have privilege, but like everything else there are levels to it. Privilege essentially just means preference, so yes, there are beautiful people privilege, religion, height, class, nationality, and also race privilege.

It's always a "fellow white person."

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Who the fuck wants to give up "home court advantage???"

Also, hard no to every point on that list and the last suggestion of making friends with black people just because they are black is insulting to black people and would creep them the fuck out.

Like when George Costanza tried to make friends with random black dudes on the street

Also, people like Dr. Touré F. Reed already have smashed the notion of black centric inequality policies for universal policies. This guy takes a Coates approach to appease the social Justice crowd who seem to focus on black people plight while natives who arguably have it the worst are left saying "what about us"

Saying whites are privileged is no different than saying blacks are criminals, Muslims are terrorists, or going off on a rant about the Jews. It's blatant racism and pretty shocking to see how accepted it's become. Don't be surprised when these sickos come knocking on your door to "expropriate your land."

Holy unrealized irony.

No, saying that you are privileged does not imply that you are better than people. Saying that you're entitled to that privilege, or that it does not exist and what comes with it is deserved and natural: that bears the presumption that you're better than other people. Do I think that you consider yourself better than nonwhite people on the basis of your skin? No, that would be a pretty steep presumption. I just think that you're intellectually lazy and that you perceive the term/concept to be a slight against you, so you recoil reflexively.

And, yes, minorities use the term and acknowledge the reality that it describes. Meanwhile, obfuscating and ignorance-languishing threads like this are pretty much only made by the dumbest of white folks (or the very dumbest of nonwhite folks) to bitch about how the well-educated university types just aren't woke to the natural meaning of racial hierarchy like you brainiacs.

FWIW, I would prefer different phrasing at this point, since the color itself is downstream from the concept (it could just as easily be black privilege in a world that civilized differently) and the term "white privilege" just ends of distracting from the actual topic with dumbass conversations like this one. But I don't have the power to change that.

 

[Pessimystic]

Fuck all that.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

Whites are a global minority. Don't fall for the bullshit.

How dumb.

White people itt so happy to feel discriminated against. Fight against the racist concept of white privilege!

Sometimes it almost seems like a conspiracy so that white people can become a protected class too. I’m exaggerating of course but consider this:

I’ve been a supervisor of federal and state law enforcement agencies, and every office, Division or Department I’ve worked in has had at least that one horrible worker who blamed every reprimand or negative interaction on racism or sexism. It’s never because they are lazy and have a terrible personality, it’s because they’re black/Latino/female! The last three years I’ve had two white males who’ve pulled this shit now. ”Waaah! I’m being discriminated against because I’m white!” Pretty fucking cunning, you guys.

I’ve never known a successful whiner, work hard and you’ll succeed no matter what anyone thinks of you being black/white/Asian/Latino/Gay. Personally I don’t think there should be any protected classes but here we are.
