White Privilege

Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that

judge you or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even
as black and Latino families with similar "challenges" are regularly
typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.

KIds, in the Marquis of Queensbury rules of political etiquette are
out of bounds. *Yah know, just don't go there.


Unless you're Bush running against McCain in SC in 2000.....

But what did your comment have anything to do with what White
said??

* * * White privilege is when you can call yourself a "****in'
redneck," like Bristol Palin's boyfriend does, and talk about how if
anyone messes with you, you'll "kick their ****in' ass," and talk
about how you like to "shoot ****" for fun, and still be viewed as a
responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather
than a thug.

And firing a weapon when you live in a wilderness area is bad why?
Get a life and get your liberal nose outside of New York City.

You don't mind engaging in a bit of stereotyping yourself, eh? It's
ok, as long as its the right kind of stereotyping I guess. PersonalIy
I don't live in NYC and have no reason to do so, and Wasila is just
about as "rural" as my burg.

But you are right, it's a dumb reference, but it works because most
people on either side of the fence won't bother to find out that
neither comment had anything to do with hunting or killing.


* * * White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges
in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed
out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a
community college), and no one questions your intelligence or
commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this
would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only
got in in the first place because of affirmative action.

Hmm, I had 256 semester hours from 14 different schools when I got my
bachelors. *Where or how you got your degree is not really important
in the real world, what you do with your life and your smarts
afterward are what counts.


Wellll, you're a damn liberal compared to me, then, what with a
degree and all. But what did your comment have to do with White's
point? Sounds to me like you are agreeing with him.

Damn NYC liberals.
