You might want to do a little research on that. Sunburns are not a white privilege, we get them too.

I'm talking about the full white privilege, the red lobster/albino cookout special. To get the same experience you guys have to go into a reactor room for 15 minutes. I want Fukushima Protection that lasts.....how much ?

To this day I have to wonder where being white was such a privilege. Once I realized it was in the mind of those who coined the term it wasn't so hard to fathom. It is a misconceived notion. Rich white progressives have always tried to stir up trouble using these tactics.

Being alive and healthy is a privilege. Ask someone in poor health.
Well, see, here's the thing with white privilege. There are both black and white people all across every spectrum. The richest woman in the country and the president of the country are black and there are homeless destitute whites in the streets. Because of this, no matter what your circumstances are, there is always someone else who is better off than you are and someone else who is worse off than you are. So the white privilege claim can always be made and never be disproven. They can always say if only Oprah was white, she'd be even richer. They can always say no matter how hard you work, if you were black you'd have to work harder.

That's the point of the sale; there is no white privilege. Privilege comes from money and familial status, not race.

Makes you wonder if she was really chaste. If she was willing to sell it the chances are no.

And I don't benefit from affirmative action. That's black privilege.

I had a black friend that went to tanning booths to help with a skin condition.

I thought of that when Obama put a tax on tanning......I think he was just aiming the tax at whites.
