I learned from my Father to get an education, spend less than you earn, invest intelligently, teach your children the same....that is my white privilege that I received from my Father and passed to my children (I hope).

Sorry back to the topic, yes the Democrats have always been racist and get more votes today by being racist against whites and it makes it harder for lower income whites to get a break.

So, there obviously is an advantage to being born white in this country.

Total horse $hit. The average family, of whatever color, has no where near a $600,000 net worth, as most of them are paycheck to paycheck, and in debt up to their ears.

More liberal race baiting, with not an iota of credibility.

"ALL working-class people" don`t have the same protections under the law.


Some working-class people are more equal than others.


Blacks have special advantages under the law as do women.


White males have inferior rights relative to both blacks and women.


If you are born a privileged white-male daddy`s boy, that doesn`t matter.


If you are a white-male who grows-up in a trailer park, it matters.

The political establishment in the United States represents two groups.


The first is the donors class.

The rest are largely non-donors or small donors who receive unearned benefits and privileges from the state.


They are represented because they can be counted on to show-up at the polls to vote to keep the benefits coming.


Their votes are essentially purchased by office-holders with the tax dollars of the working-class and legal standing of white males.


Having taken what they need to stay in office from this minority group of working class white males without their consent and using these confiscated wages and rights to barter for the votes of non-whites, single females and the wealthy, there is no possibility of political reconciliation.


Instead, office-holders and their supporters have doubled-down on white-male demonization as a last desperate attempt to keep allegedly "privileged" working whites, and particularly white males, paying the bills for a system that continually works to politically disenfranchise them.


This is slavery-lite.

Even working the same profession, minorities make less income than whites.


"SAN FRANCISCO — Hispanics, Asians and blacks are not getting equal pay for equal work in the high-tech industry.

That's the finding of new research that shows Hispanics earn $16,353 a year less on average than their colleagues who are not Hispanic.

In the same high-skilled positions such as computer programmers and software developers, Asians make $8,146 less than whites and blacks $3,656 less than whites, according to the report from the American Institute for Economic Research."

Yes. More screwed than whites are blacks who are kept down like animals by liberals and SJW who make laws trying to "protect them" instead of helping them attain equality.
Liberal policies like affirmative action and the BLM movement only serve to hurt them in their quest to be on equal footing as others. Why pass laws and have policies that allows them to gain employment or benefits solely based on skin color? BLM is hurting their cause 1000-Fold since all they amount to is a bigoted, racist, petty hate organization dedicated to making sure blacks continue to be treated poorly.
But the left is so blind, they don't see this. They truly perpetuate bull **** like this PBS article recently published about how too many white teachers work with urban kids and how they should incorporate rap into the curriculum rather than giving the same type of instruction that kids in the suburbs get.
