I Have Something to Say

If white privilege exists then why did Elizabeth Warren have to pretend to be a Native American in order to get ahead in life?

No, it's not a good point. We fucking stole their land out from under them, made them give up their language, their culture, their religion, and now you're trying to say that they're "privileged" because we give them chump change to help out with college? We award scholarships to Native Americans based on their heritage [i]because[/i] they're an [i]under[/i]-privileged group, and if we didn't do that they would fall even farther behind whites in terms of academics, power, prestige, wealth, employment, crime, negative racial stereotypes, etc. It's fucking ludicrous how obviously sheltered white middle class Republicans can say they have it so damn rough and then look at the most obviously oppressed groups and call them lazy, spoiled, or "privileged".

@JP1119 I hate how Indians were treated. It's heartbreaking! I'm just saying white privelege doesn't really exist anymore like minorities think it does. My generation has done nothing to Native Americans.
That last comment right there is why we’re in the mess we are. @Cloud7593
