There is always two sides to every coin and many today only
want to believe what they can see from their side instead of
researching to find the truth. I have read through many articles to hear people
slamming whites for the color of their skin, this is racism due to ignorance of
their own past. Has our country done many horrible thing to many different
races in the US; yes, including the white race. Do two wrongs make a right? No,
and neither does discriminating against people today to make up for people's treachery from
the past. Some see “White Privilege” just as others see “Black or
Minority Privilege”, both can be discrimination and is usually political
rhetoric to try and keep Americans separated, make a side, which ever it is,
feel better or condone a side not accept responsibility for their actions.
The KKK and Arian Nation are two violently racist groups in
America just like the New Black Panthers, and La Raza. They are on all sides of
all races but when identifying hate groups, you must look at the truth and not
a bias opinion based on your own hatred. One group who says they have identify 917
racist groups in America which may be true, but then names the US Border
Patrol, Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC), 16 music labels (none of who
published the record Kill a Cop), and the American Free Press. They mentioned
others like Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, Jewish Defense League, and
even the National Prayer Network but never mention CAIR (who the FBI says funds
terrorism), the New Black Panthers, or La Raza because it doesn’t fit into
their agenda. Hate is hate no matter the color of your skin or gender and all
races has racist groups within their midst. Do we have the same between the
genders?
I’m not going to spend long on “Female Privilege” because
with many feminist groups, they not only discriminate against males but other
females who don’t support ALL their views. If you look back at the National
Organization of Women (NOW), who state they are here to defend ALL women, they
are lying. When Michelle Obama was personally attacked for her school lunch
program, NOW was all up in arms, rightfully so, to defend her but NOW remained
silent when Sarah Palin and her 14 year old daughter was savagely attacked by
many of the same people. I couldn’t find one group who says they are for women
rights who doesn’t discriminate against other women based on either their race,
religion, or political view. If you are for women you need to be for ALL
women’s rights, but now, back to the question. Does women have “Female
Privilege?” A friend went to apply for a business loan but put his wife as the
business owner, I asked why. He stated because she was a minority women she
would get it where he wouldn’t because he’s a white male. He explained the way
the rules are written, a women has a better chance to get in the government
contract system and if she was a minority women the chances was even better. I
was dumbfounded, I thought the government was to be fair and equal to all. I
guess I was wrong, “Female Privilege” does exist.
In some ways there is “White Privilege” but you won’t like
how I see it. I grew up poor sometimes not knowing if I would have a meal or even a
roof over my head. I did have the privilege of having my butt tore up when I was
doing something wrong; this doesn’t happen today. I did have the privilege of
growing up in a broken home (mom died) where my dad and our community still
made sure all four of us kids followed the law and behaved correctly; this
doesn’t happen today. I had the privilege of working in the fields from age six
so we would have something to eat. I had the privilege of not receiving a scholarship
to help the poor get better educated which I scored the highest out of everyone
because Affirmative Action said it had to go to a minority, my American Indian heritage
didn’t count, that was a separate program. I had the privilege of walking into
a government assistance building and being told, “This isn’t the government
assistance building for white people.” I had the privilege of trying to offer my
skills to help people in the inner city of Detroit (I work in Detroit) just to
be turned down three times because my skin is the wrong color. I thought they
wanted to help the people. I was privileged to be harassed by the cops but it
was because I was doing what I shouldn’t have been; I’ll admit it but most
today have no integrity and will play the race card, women card, or the poor
card instead of accepting responsibility for their actions. So I guess in many
ways I have experienced “White Privilege.”
Today in many inner cities, I don’t see parents and
communities setting up kids for success, instead they set them up for failure. In
the inner cities many parents encourage their children to break the law, to rob
someone, to sell drugs, and to look like a thug, then when they are arrested
for their actions, or worse killed, these same parents want to blame the police
or a person defending their property. Example, 17-year-old Trevon
Johnson was shot and killed while robbing a house. His cousin, Nautika
Harris stated, “You have to understand, you have to look at it from a child's
point of view that was raised in the hood. How he gonna get his money to have
clothes to go to school?" There is a thing called a job, but in many inner
cities communities, robbing others for money is accepted and even promoted,
then when they are killed, neither their family or community accept blame for
allowing this to become the norm. In these same communities it has become the
norm to just kill someone if you feel they disrespected you, the same people
are up in arms about the killings but will never help the police solve the
crime or find the killer(s). If you’re not going to help, I don’t want to hear your
complaining when it is your brother, sister, child, or cousin who is the next
victim. To top it off, many in the inner cities and across this nation have
been taught that they are entitled to government assistance handouts, it is
owed to them and they don’t need to work. I think you need to get a job, work
on an education, get out of the ghetto, and make something better for your life
Now let’s talk about “Minority Privilege.” Have you ever
heard of BET (Black Educational TV) or Ebony Magazine? A man tried to start a
WET (White Educational TV) and Ivory Magazine and was branded a racist which I
could agree with, but wouldn’t using the same context make BET and Ebony
Magazine racist? Yes it would, so either both are racist or both are not. The
2016 Oscars were boycotted with hashtag #OscarsSoWhite after Jada Pinkett Smith
called for a boycott. My question is, Hattie McDaniel became the first black
person to win an Academy Award for best supporting actress in 1939, so who was the
first white person to win a BET award? No one, so if you are discriminating against
anyone because of their race, isn’t that being racist?
If a white person like
idiot George Zimmerman kills his attacker and every news outlet carries it for
years, why aren’t they covering all the “Polar Bearing” going on
inside minority neighborhoods? This is “Minority Privilege.” Why are collages
allowed to discriminate on grounds of race? If you are a minority you get moved
higher on the acceptance rating even if you scored lower in all subject
matters. This is “Minority Privilege.” If you as a minority uses racially
charged words like the N-word, nothing is wrong with it but its racist for
anyone else to use it. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the N-word no matter who is
saying it but that person, no matter their race should receive the same backlash
but don’t. This is “Minority Privilege.” I can go on but you get the point. We
need to stop the dividing of our country and get rid of all the "Race Baiters." This divide is from politicians purposely using entitlements to enslave the minority and poor. They purposely hand out entitlements to buy the vote of those receiving
them, this is what is known as “Economic Slavery” which is tyranny.
Entitlements to the receivers are like drugs and they always need a new fix or more so they keep voting for the ones who are giving them out which are the same ones taking away your rights and holding you down. Think about it.
