Good. It is refreshing to see people actually admit racism. The next step is therapy. Try volunteering in the black community. Entrepreneurship is something the black community needs.
Does it really even matter?
Funny how people who are openly sometimes act as if admitting their bigotry should make them respected or something...
No, white privilege is not economic. White privilege can result in economic privilege. They are not synonymous. OJ Simpson's white privilege didn't help him get off.. did it?
I didn't say white privilege was economic. I said that the video you provided as evidence said it was.

No, you need to read a little more carefully.
See above. Read more carefully yourself before you tell others

Yea, trying to unjam your front door is poor behavior...
If Gates is white... does the police even get called?
Obama backs away from any racial comments.. because the opposing party's constituency is angry white racists. It is bad politics from his part.
No, he doesn't. He didn't back away from his racist "typical white person" comment nor from his "bitter clingers" comment nor from his Trayvon Martin comments nor from his comments about racism and Katrina.
Backing away from racial comments when your opposing party's constituency is angry white racists is absurd. You're not even making sense. If you can expose racism in your opponents then you win, not lose. Come on.
And by the way, with your "angry white racist" comment, welcome to being a bigot yourself.

Yes, it does.
No, they don't. Like I said... if Gates is white, does the police get called?
Maybe or maybe not. But does that alter the fact that when they arrived the police acted appropriately? No, it doesn't. What you're doing is speculating. What I pointed out is fact. The facts of your link do not demonstrate any white privilege.

Blacks' burden is both societal and economical. They are not mutually exclusive. Barack Obama and Henry Louis Gates don't have white privilege, but have economic privilege. They are still subject to social biases due to skin color.
That's fine, but again that isn't what your initial video was about. I watched it. Bill O'Reilly and John Stewart discussed the disadvantages black people have in achieving success due to coming from ghettos. I never said white privilege didn't exist. I just said your video doesn't support your assertion that white privilege has nothing to do with economics.

Race was involved in the situation not from the police officer. The neighbor suspected a break in because they saw two black guys jamming a door. The police officer responded to what was described.
You're making a race based assumption without any factual provable knowledge. In other words, you are being a bigot.

....so you can't cite any of your grievances with the 50 examples? Got it.
I didn't cite any grievances. That was someone else. Once again, please follow your own advice to read more carefully.
True, many blacks are successful but white liberals deny it. So that is less than 13% of the American population with the woe-is-me mentality. Hardly worth all these discussions about something that just about every other ethnic group has figured out. Education, working and learning how to manage money are the big ones, which is exactly what sets the successful apart from the others in this group.
