"Progressives
like to claim that the economic disparity between blacks and whites are due to
white privilege. Ignoring the fact that Asian immigrants generally do quite
well in this country, what can be done to lessen the disparity? Well, it's not
like white privilege is any big secret. Anyone can reach out and take some.
Here's how you do it: Go to school and study your ass off. Graduate from high
school. Obey the law. Avoid recreational drugs and alcohol. Get a job. Consider
no job, if it is honest work, to be beneath you. Work your ass off. Go to
church. Avoid pre-marital sex and all-night partying. Do not have a child
unless you're married and are able to support one. Live beneath your means.
Save money for emergencies. Do not hang out with criminals, slackers, or
losers. This is white privilege in a nutshell. And what's great about white
privilege is, get this, you don't have to be white to get it. These rules will
work for anyone, regardless of race or religion or country of origin. All you
have to do is follow them and good things will come your way. Usually. The
problem is that, due to the unevenness of life, the benefits of white privilege
are not evenly distributed, so it's better if you live in a community where
everyone practices these rules. In this way, you will maximize your chances of benefiting from white privilege. But you're not done yet. You also must teach
these rules to your children, and teach them to teach the rules to their own
children. Because the benefits of white privilege accrue like compound interest
over generations. And it only takes one generation, maybe two, to break this
golden chain and then you're back to square one, back to the misery,
starvation, ignorance, and squalor that have been endemic to human societies
since time immemorial. White privilege is the only path that has ever lead to
prosperity for the many, rather than just for the few. So what this world needs
is not less white privilege, but more." – The Morning Rant
