On the topic of privileged white kids, Sherman Alexei (for those of you familiar with highschool literature) wrote a book on how shitty his life was growing up as a native american kid. Anyways, he spoke at my school here in Park City, Utah which is a rather affluent town. He had all the white kids stand up, and had them say "I'm a over-privileged white shithead". Needless to say, I enjoyed it because he was spot fucking on. But some parents got so fucking butthurt, apparently he has to come back and apologize to the school. I hope he just goes on a rant and verbally abuses the shit out of all of them.

That's probably because all the people around him were getting paid by the government to sit around and huff gasoline on a reservation.

Not to mention crippling drug use and alcoholism. But yeah, school wasn't too stoked either. They 100% regretted bringing him in, lol. I enjoyed his spiel. He's actually a really funny dude.

i mean, thats not very fair to them to be generalizing and villainizing them just because they're white... its also not fair to think just because a kid is white, he is an "over privileged white shithead." given that park city is a fairly affluent town, what makes the white kids any more "over-privileged" than the minorities that are able to live in park city and send their kids to the same school? they get a pass for being affluent because of past injustices?

This is absurd. There are people of the white race who are also poor and not privileged. Pointing fingers is merely an excuse, and stating these, 'deplorable' acts is a way of belittling others as many of the actions in those statements do. Fuck Buzzfeed and fuck blame. I myself would like to see change and more strides towards equality, but that just didn't do it for me. That simply incriminated white people, rather than make them feel more up to creating interracial change.

Yeah I'm aware of that. It's depicting the German Reich as an uncivilized brute and asking people to think of the enemy as less than human. And the picture on the right is a clear, point-for-point reference to the picture on the left, equating the black man to the uncivilized, less-than-human ape, as in monkey, and the pretty white lady as Lady Liberty, the helpless damsel in distress at the hands of the scary black man.

I know this site has no great love for Kanye West, but the line "They see a black man with a white woman at the top floor, they gon' come to kill King Kong" seems appropriate.

Yeah if you want to break it down that way you can. On the other hand LeBron didn't see anything wrong with it.

Privilege has nothing to do with how rich or poor you are individually

The hypocrisy of #7 is great. Complaining about being a sole representative for your entire race, yet grouping all white people into one sole stereotype. Haha.

It's called the shape issue, I don't think they're going to get Lebron to make himself look as small an unassuming as possible.

You know what, my fault for getting involved in a race debate on NS.

Oh before I go, I should say: I'd be wary of standing up for the correctness/egalitarianism of the fashion industry, they're responsible for this:

and before you respond to that last one with "minorities are minorities, after all," New York City is 44.7% white, 26.8% black, and 27% latino.

Bye.

Can't we all just agree that buzzfeed is a terrible website that makes awful articles that literally anyone could write?

Fuck these people, they fail to see that what they are saying, is too extremely racist. They say they are against racism, but their bias is clear and they only add to the problem. Race isn't an issue if you don't make it one, and this asshole made it an issue. Fucking ignorant shit.

Seriously. "White privilege" is just emphasizing the differences between white and non-whites. How the fuck is that supposed to help anything?

maybe its just a coincidence, but i have found that the people who cry racism are typically the most racist.

Racism will always be there if youre constantly looking for it around every corner.
