Officially a waste of time(the article). Planet black must be an angry little place.. No offense black people, just a smear against a worn out line repeated in the article.

WHICH "whites"? Most white Hispanics, Arabs, Iranians and Italians kinda look alike; the word is "most", not all.

My name is Whitey, I'm white and I have everything. That Secret Magic Formula for Everything works like a charm.

I'm still looking for the people who leaked the formula to the American Asians, Nigerians and Muslims. Next thing you know, some moron will leak it to American Hispanics.

I would leak it to the poor whites in Appalachia but I don't have contacts there. Someone really should let them in on it because they are the whitest of the whites, after all.

It was leaked to Obama by either his mother or his grandparents, but so far he has remained true and hasn't shared it with his brothers and sisters. Whew!

I honestly think your families income has more to do with future success, i don't understand what skin color has to do with it.

I never forget a black radio talk host in St. Louis named Edward 'Onion' Horton. He related the time he was driving by a skid row type area and his grand-daughter spied a drunken, decrepit, bedraggled white man on the sidewalk? "Don't he know he's runnin' the world," queried grand-daughter.

This is all paraphrase but it is pretty close to what Onion Horton related.

My white Grandfather grew up dirt poor. However instead of feeling sorry for himself, he actually did something to make his circumstances better. He joined the Navy, went to college on the GI Bill, followed by medical school and eventually became a successful doctor. He didn't have a rich daddy or family connections paving his way. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps and put in the time and effort to create the life he wanted. I know it's a foreign concept for the Victim Crowd, but here's a news flash: Life doesn't owe you sh*t. Deal with it.

I have never ever thought in terms of color in my life. But after these ridiculous protests and all this white privilege garbage, it truly is making me hold some resentment to the black community.

The one thing in all this I haven't heard is taking personal responsibility.

It was more than a little amusing the see O'Reilly freely admit that the privilege he enjoyed growing up white has influenced who he is today, then proceed to angrily rant that past treatment doesn't mean white people enjoy privilege today. He was essentially disagreeing with himself.

Uh; not just anglo whites getting pissed. Even those Black dudes and ladies who HAVE stepped up and taken care of business have no use the "poor me" Black hood rat tude.

I'm def "white" and things ain't going real well in 2014 but; it's NOT on "society" to feed me and house me unless I'm willing to "put in the pot" like at least volunteering If I wound up on disability.
