What white privilege looks like - samurai sword-style...

Hey, take it up with the author of the article you linked to, because it reads, "Jenny Lundt, a sophomore at Colgate, wrote about how she was able to regularly carry a sword around school without attracting police attention".

So why is there only one picture of her with the sword, and it's not taken in the quad? Lol, libs will believe anything.

So when she said she was "running around the quad", and people were laughing at the silly white girl, your assertion is that she is lying?
You need photographic proof of her deeds on the quad? Really?

I have seen a lot weirder shit on the quad than a white girl with a sword, so I have no reason to assume she is lying.

Indeed.
Virtually all human beings are subject to prejudice, bias, and profiling. Does not matter if one is liberal or conservative. The important thing is to recognize it, to acknowledge privilege is a real thing, and try to work at self-improvement.

I basically can count on one hand the number of white conservatives who recognize institutional racism, sexism, and white privilege exist in this country.

Yes, she's lying. If she wanted to illustrate "white privilege" why wouldn't she get a picture of that?

No you haven't, because it doesn't exist. You may have seen prejudice, or bigotry, but not white privilege.

Right. Because you've walked in my shoes and know what I've seen, what I've experienced. Like I said, no point in trying to convince of you anything. Too blind to see.

Particularly white conservative males, who all have victim cards stapled to their own foreheads.

18 years ago. Suburb of St. Louis, MO. Two work buddies, working moms who didn't make much money, both drove old beaters to work. One buddy was white, the other black. They both had a 15-mile commute, from opposite directions. One lost her muffler on a gravel country road with a big divot in it; the other lost hers to a pothole on her suburban street. Neither had the money to get the mufflers fixed right away. Within a week both were pulled over by the local cops by the place of employment. One was just told by the young man to get that fixed because the law says you got to have a muffler. The other got a $35 ticket for not having a muffler.

Guess which one got the ticket?

It wasn't me.

Awesome post. It's good to see that young people get it. Quite different than some of the old conturd fucks here who think white privilege is a myth, and there's no more racism, why none at all. You probably noticed them proudly wearing their KKK gear and bragging about eating fried chicken on MLK Day.

For the sake of discussion considering it was young people at a liberal campus who called the cops do they get it?

What they are pointing out is their own racist bias. If there's white privilege, they are the practitioners of it. They are the problem they want you to know about. LOL

So you're Black??
 
Dumb white college students should have stopped to ask themselves when was the last time a black student shot-up a campus? I think the VA Tech kid was Korean.
 
Institutional racism, you say conservatives don't see it yet is it stronger anywhere than housing yet the most progressive areas fight against new development and force poor and minority people away from their cities. These progressive cities keep the same land use and zoning codes from the redlining days. This is institutional racism at its finest but it doesn't get discussed.

It's great we can talk about these random one off stories but issues like housing affect millions and doesn't get talked about.

Yikes. Stories like this must happen on a daily basis across our great nation.

I will never forget my Muslim work colleague would always get pulled off by TSA for additional screening at the airport, while I always walked scott free. That made a real impression on me because I saw how dehumanizing profiling could be to a good friend of mine.

A college campus goes on lock down because a black student was working on an art project. Remarkable. I really don't think if a white girl was carrying a glue gun for an art project the campus would have gone on lock down, but that's just my guess.

I really do not know how, in good conscience anyone can deny systematic and institutional racism exists in this country, and gives unfair advantage to certain demographics. But you know what? There is a lot of denial going on out there!

Please cease; because I'm afraid that all the crying is going to cause you to be dehydrated and need to be hospitalized.

How do we know who called the cops? A visitor who saw a young black man running with what looked like a gun? Someone passing by in a car? A teacher? Do you really think that everyone on the campus of a "liberal arts college" is liberal?

Ha ... good point.

Shooting your classmates at school is a White millenial kid phenomenon.

Okay, well we are not going to agree, but we still have Iron Maiden in common, so I am going to look at the glass half full, and still give you props for cranking some good metal.

You're right we don't know. There are conservatives on liberal campuses just as there are liberals on conservative campuses. Just my opinion but I don't think this story shows young people in some exemplary fashion.
