Thoughts Regarding 'White Privilge'

It's a load of crap. [I never was one to beat around the bush.]

It's yet another trick the left is playing on minorities. Look, even if you they could convince white people of this new myth, does that improve the station of minorities?

We ALL have the privilege of life. What we do with it is all about the individual. You can choose to apply yourself in school, you can choose to take part in extra curricular activities, you can choose to listen to your parents, follow the rules of the house, find a job that interests you, be the best the employer has ever had, get promoted, marry and THEN have children, work hard to keep the family intact and succeed.

THOSE things result in happiness and success. Don't do those things and life will be more difficult for you - what ever your skin color might be.

I might as well bring up that the left has had major involvement in tripping up the steps to success for minorities - for decades.

Minority families are far more likely to be fatherless for example. I know marriage itself is considered more disposable than ever, but those that get caught in the web of government assistance are forced to get rid of Dad and nothing short of a miracle ever gets them out from under the governments rules that won't let 'em out.

Taking whites down a notch won't do a thing to improve your own life. It's an old trick played by losers everywhere and it never works. Losers remain losers.

So, succeed the old fashioned way, that has worked time and time again for thousands of years - work hard, play it straight, be honorable and gather your own privilege as you go.

Good luck!

Well spoken Bud. A bit provocative but it needed to be said. I like how you achieved the right tone in getting the point across. Working hard instead of wasting time complaining and feeling sorry for myself while doing nothing has paid off for me. Moved out of CA back to TX with no money, no nada and in just four years worked my ass off, bought a nice condo in a nice safe neighborhood, nice car I paid off in only six years, building wealth through maxing out my 401(k) and saving more for retirement. I can say that if a person does nothing, they can expect nothing. But when they do things to help themselves life starts getting better. I'm Hispanic and I very much approve of this message.
