    In the last couple of decades, the Left has really pushed the concept of "white privilege", "whiteness studies" college courses, and other assorted postmodernist excrement. Let's examine the concept of "white privilege".

    Whites are alleged to unfairly benefit on several fronts. First, whites are the majority in all Western countries (for now). How this translates into malfeasance is beyond me (by the same reasoning, Mongoloid Japanese have "privilege" over the Ainu simple for outnumbering them, indigenous Romanians have "privilege" over Gypsies simply for outnumbering them, and so on-none of which involves ANY wrongdoing on the part of the numerical majority). Second, whites have a higher standard of living than various other races in these Western countries, and whites in Western countries enjoy a higher level of technology and better health care than non-whites in non-Western countries. Whites created this wealth with hard work and creativity, and this wealth has been passed down the generations (is this supposed to be immoral or something), and white scientists have made the discoveries and developed the technology that white people benefit from today (what is so horrible about whites having advanced technology due to discoveries made by the scientists among them?). Third, whites are said to be privileged with not facing as much adversity from the police, business owners, etc. as, say, blacks are. This is due to the rate of black violence being much higher than the rate of white violence, which is not the fault of white people.

    To summarize, Leftists have no leg to stand on here, any more than I would have if I wanted to make the case that some super-wealthy family was screwing me over by, well, having more money than I have. These various facets of white privilege are rooted in things that whites have done for themselves. Just as I am not entitled to your parents' estate when they die, non-whites are not entitled to the wealth and good fortune of whites just because they say so. History has led to the Rockefeller family having more than I have, and it has also led to whites and their civilization being better off than all other branches of humanity.

    Can a cogent argument be made that whites are not entitled to any particular aspect of the status quo that happens to be beneficial to them?

    Laughing, it hurts so much. The reason they're in such a terrible shape is simple. They're economies are depdent on the world economies, and they don't have as strong home economies. Simple as that.

    I think it is because they cannot compete against us in the market place, so they have to tell themselves it's the system's fault in order to feel better. They don't want to admit that they just can't keep up. Now, obviously there are some very smart individual blacks, but as a group, they can't compete with other races.

    Explain how any of that was obtained through immoral actions.

    The way that I see it, the status quo was obtained through the white development of superior technology, and there is absolutely nothing immoral about that.

    It would have been nice if you gave an argument against it.

    Colonialism of the late 1800's, scientific racism, humilating the indengious people.

    Against Tim Wise? Do I really need to? The guy is a complete nut. Jews shouldn't be commenting on White issues anyway.

    As for whatever was posted, I didn't read it. I have Cigar on ignore. I don't acknowledge obvious trolls. I just saw Truthist's post with a quote saying "by Tim Wise."

    I'm a fair guy. Post a rebuttal from a fair and unbalanced source and I'll take it seriously. Tim Wise is anything but fair and unbalanced. Maybe you should research him a bit more to understand why anyone with a brain wouldn't take that wacko seriously.

    Jews are not Caucasian and they would be insulted at being considered as such.

    Ashkenazi Jews are the original germans, todays germans are a mix of scandanavians and Turks.

    I noticed that you're a rookie here, but that lack of eperience on these forums should in no way be reason enough to embarrass yourself to the point where you'll need to do overtime in restoring your credibility here. Jews are now and have been Caucasians for centuries is something you may hear on late night comedy TV. You dude, need to wake the f up.

    They were behind prior to first contact. Contact with whites was a net gain for them, and any liberal who denies that suffers from either mental retardation or a form of spinelessness whereby they lack the courage to admit the truth.

    I am saying that colonialism was a net benefit, which is as obvious a statement as "Humans have bilateral symmetry."

    I am amused how the long list of positive things that whites brought to sub-Saharan Africa gets ignored in order to advance a racist political agenda.

    So name them instead of saying them.
