There's no escape ......

To continually say we must make amends for past actions is simply not logical.
On the contrary, it's very logical. Back in Indiana I saw the schools that I attended, and I saw the schools my black brothers and sisters attended and in no way were they separate but equal. To step on people for hundreds of years and then not want to give them a hand up is not logical.

JB, spot on. VWs (other than Beetles) are second, Prii are third.
Range Roverers in Olde Blighty are dicks, too.

I find it odd how white people of privladge assume every other white family enjoyed similar upbringings
Discrimination as a means to fix discrimination is just stupid
Not to mention the supporters of affirmative action would never make such silly generalizations about other groups of people as they do with white men

true- they will have to deal with racist nonsense from people like you.
Tell me- why do you hate a white baby born in 2017?
Do you feel that baby is oppressing you?

The silly assumption white people are born with some secret privladge is a racist assumption in itself.
I seriously doubt anyone who grew up poor would promote discriminating against white people and asians because of the color of skin they were born into
If that really is your background- then you should understand that poverty- not race- is what holds people back
And your accusations that anyone who wants to end such race based policies is a "whiner" - is nothing more than a childish insult. An accusation worthy of a bully
Something an educated man should be above

Glad you're finally seeing the light! Wow, it's taken a long time!
I'm carrying grad-school student loan debt that my black GF never even had to consider, her being, well, you know, black, and, you know, a woman.
I have dollar-for-non-dollar comparative evidence in the form of grants and scholarships she trivially got being a black woman that were not available to me as a white male. So, yeah, I'd call my debt a genuine burden.
But you knew that, which is why you're finally getting a clue.

Hartouni, JE and I must be a trio of smartdang Armenians, eh.
We all got in (at least six times) to UC's.
Discrimination be damned.
On the other hand, Castaneda got a teaching position even though he wasn't all that Asian.
Go figger (if you can).
And everybody knows Eldridge wasn't a Native American. Anybodyu take his class?

The really funny irony here is that the Democrats on this site that believe in "white privilege" are hearkening back to the era when Democrats were the racists! LOL
It's just white guilt stemming from their racist roots. But that era is long-past, and it's time to talk about present reality rather than four and five decades ago. "White privilege" went the way of Democratic racism; deny Democratic racism today, and you have to deny the white privilege that went along with it.

new poll by Quinnipiac University,
*“American voters say 54 – 26 percent that they are embarrassed rather than proud to have Trump as president. Voters say 57 – 40 percent he is abusing the powers of his office and say 60 – 36 percent that he believes he is above the law.”
in addition: new tracking poll shows the President's approval at a new low of 34%

For generations, American society raised a fist to minorities, then through Affirmative Action it lent a helping hand. As Affirmative Action is phased out, the hand must now provide free tissues for traumatized white people like Mad Bolter and c wilmot.

I grew up in Indiana. Thanks to FDR and the New Deal we had electricity, but no running water. Luckily, we did have a pot to piss in at night so we didn't have to go out to the little house to pee in the winter. Our eggs and meat came out of our backyard, so did a lot of our vegetables. Later on, comparing notes with the black guys from the south that I worked with in San Pedro it seems we all had the same story. Except I didn't have to work so hard to get where I was, where they had to be twice as good to get half as far.
I was fortunate enough to go to a school that taught me how to spell "privilege." So, I had that going for me.
