During a Q & A session on Facebook Monday night, Hillary Clinton suggested that white guilt was the best way to placate the Black Lives Matter movement. She claimed that white people need to “recognize our privilege” and “practice humility”.
The question was posed by MTV reporter, Jamil Smith, who asked how she would engage white voters on the issue of “racial justice” and if she would call upon white people to be considerate towards black concerns.
No wonder there’s so much racism in America.
Of course, Hillary catered to the crowd she was speaking to by throwing white people under the bus. She said that white Americans need to do a better job of listening to African Americans talk about the barriers they face every day. After a comment like that, it’s clear that she’s the one who isn’t listening. White people have been paying attention. And what about her privilege?

No. No we are not. You just don’t realize it because you’re white.
I cannot believe there are still Trump supporters after all that he has done. I’m thankful my Republican friends are smart enough to realize he is the worst possible candidate ever.
Brandon Scribner I hear what you are saying. But it is absurd to think that decendents of Jews who escaped$#%&!@*s Holocaust led a “privileged” life. For the sake of justice and culture, no one should feel guilty about the color of his skin or judge another person by the color of their skin. It is high time for all Americans to embrace the truth and condemn a racist attitude. The politicians using the so-called white privileges are promoting racism and using it to victimize people. If one is taught bitterness and anger the one believes they are a victim. My hope for you is that you will not see yourself as a victim and denounce racism and live a very fruitful and meaningful life.❤️
It was called the French/Indian war unless you are Canadian, then it’s the 7 years war of the northeast colonies. Ooh you got a big word there “xenophpbic” fear of foreigners when all l l was saying was were weren’t afraid to fight off oppressors whether English? French, Spanish, etc. We even fought to free Black slaves who wouldn’t do it for themselves. You are brain washed into White Shame. Slavery hasn’t existed for over a hundred years. White people have continued to build and invent without black slaves “doing it for us.” Remember that car that Black people invented?.Remember that Television Black people invented? Remember that phone that black slaves made? Remember that boat black people came up with? Remember that microwave oven black people produced? Remember that plane they invented?.Oh and that Black watch and radio is the best that black people came up with. Things we use everyday white people “accomplished” not because of “privilage” that black people gave us to do it. They invented peanut butter. That’s cool. But tell me the sport they invented? Swimming? Tennis? Baseball? Even Basketball and football. All white inventions. They may take it over, but we have the “privilage” of having made he game. That’s white accomplishment without the help of slaves.
And I’m a Jew, Brandon Scirbner. Trust me Brandon I’ve had my share…Why? Because “I don’t look Jewish.” The Dem. Party had done nothing for Blacks except to keep them needing assistance. The HIGHEST unemployment rate is in the black communities. Sadly look what has happened to Detroit, or Chicago.
I was referring to the American Revolution that France won for us. Which is absolutely the truth. Slavery was the end of racial discrimination additionally. For more than a century and even today in some aspects, blacks have been not allowed the same opportunities to succeed as whites. Affirmative Action has attempted to level that playing field but has not been overly successful. Your list of inventions glosses over what blacks have done while still under the oppression of whites. It’s not white guilt, it’s being culturally aware of the few restrictions my race has faced while comparing them to others. The idea that racism and discrimination doesn’t exist anymore is just blind ignorance. Decades of oppression have given a huge advantage to one race and stunted the growth of others.
Other races, including Jews, have faced oppression in the US. But not to the extent and continued severity as blacks. Just by looking white, Jews in the US have a better opportunity for loans, jobs, housing which leads to a better education. It’s real and still effective at pushing one race below another.
It’s the highest unemployment rate because they are less like to have the proper education and more likely to lose a position because of prejudicial bias. But by proportion of popularity, whites are using government assistance more. So that’s not a black issue.
You are making my point. You said, “Affirmative Action has attempted to level that playing field but has not been over successful.” Why wasn’t it “successful”? Because Black people didn’t put out the “effort” to “succeed” like White people do. We “succeed” because we put out the effort to “accomplish” whatever we want. We mow our lawns, we paint our houses, we clean our streets, we invent stuff like “lawn mowers,” washing machines, street sweepers, and better and better paints to last longer…then we “use” them to accomplish our goals of the good life that black people “envy” as “White privilege.” then it isn’t “privilege.” Nobody handed those “White” suburbs to us. We built them, then we put out the effort daily to keep them in good repair. We do not “oppress” black people to keep our homes and neighborhoods in good order. Black accusation of “White Privilege” is just “Black Envy” of what White people have because we “work” for it. Black people can “work” to keep up their neighborhoods also, bu they don’t. Do you think White people go into Black neighborhoods and spray paint their buildings, throw trash around, and sabotage lawn mowers? No dude. Black people do it to themselves, then blame “whitey” for being better than them because we somehow “magically” have nice homes and neighborhoods just by being “White.” No, it doesn’t “magically” happen. We “work” to keep our living conditions in good working order. But, you can’t admit that because then it would be “accepting” responsibility…the “Ability to Respond” to fixing up your own homes and neighborhoods without Whitey’s help.
Think about it now. It went from refuting “White Privilege” to now its “White Oppression.” Yet you admit White people fought to free the blacks in the civil war. The leader was not Ulysses S. “Tyrone” Grant. White people fought white people for black freedom. Same with Affirmative Action. But now, White people “oppress” black people. We “press” black people down? Black people, even in this article and your responses are “pressing White people down.” This claim of “White Privilege” is really just “White Oppression.” So, let me get this straight, if White people would just leave Black people alone, then black people would be free to “accomplish” what White people have? You know, the stuff that you and this writer claim white people have by “privilege.”
Hmmm, well let’s see if that is true. Ever heard of “White Flight?” it is an actual title of a social demographic study done beginning in the Midwest/Great lakes states in the 70’s. Not my title, it was called that in the text books. After the 1964 Civil Rights movement of Martin Luther King, black people began leaving the southern states and moved north into the Great Lakes states. But during the 70’s White people began to leave those same states in the north for California in such huge numbers it was titled “White Flight.” So, were the Whites “oppressing” blacks in the north? Or trying to leave them alone to do what black people do best. White people left. That’s not “oppression.” That is “migration.” Soon after so many white people left and the black people moved in the once teeming productive cities became derelict, vacant skyscrapers, slums, and burned out waste lands, like Detroit. Been there lately? I have. It looks like a war zone in Beirut. But wait, the story continues. During the 80’s the Black people figured out where the White people went…to California. So, black people began to migrate to California. Gangs like the Crips and Bloods, etc. began to pop up. So, in the late 80’s and early 90’s another “White Flight” happened and a huge white demographic began to migrate from California into the Northwest states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Now, you can blame that on Microsoft, but that doesn’t explain Oregon and Idaho. Do you see the pattern here? It is not “White” people “oppressing” black people. It is black people hounding and pursuing white people all across the country because they want what white people have. Why do white people “have” the “privilege” of stuff black people want? Because white people make it wherever they go. Once black people “get” the “privilege” of having what white people made, like the cities in the Great Lakes area, then they destroy it. They don’t even maintain what was already built. It is not “privilege” that makes a city or neighborhood in good working order and appearance. It is work and a “value” of that order and appearance. Black people “envy” what white people have, but black people don’t want to “work” for it. They just say, we are “privileged” to be “White.” Yeah, that must be what it is. That is why White people leave cities and skyscrapers behind them when they leave, like in the Great Lakes states, but black people leave behind desolation, slums, and violence behind them in their wake pursuing white people wherever white people go to get away from them and their effects on OUR accomplishments.
You may be one of the single most racist people on the Internet. And that’s saying a lot. Your views are skewed and much of your history is twisted to fit your racist view.
