So the media freaked out when Nancy Pelosi had fancy ice cream in her freezer

so they will be TOTALLY outraged by trump's performance on New Years Eve, the night before millions lose their healthcare subsidies, right? He bid one hundred thousand dollars for a painting, and then called another auction goer's bid of TWO MILLION dollars for a painting "peanuts".

Again, all of this happened at his estate last night on the eve of millions losing their healthcare. Real man of the people. right? And if a Dem did this........sorry, but I think the corporate media would need 24/7 medical emergency personnel on standby for the next six months to assist with all the heads exploding.

but not about trump. Apparently, Mamdani's wife wore six hundred dollar boots to the inauguration. You see, some things are just not acceptable to the corporate media.

Call me crazy, but it seems to me like white men who champion the preservation of white male privilege get all the passes, all the credit, and none of the blame. If you aren't with them you get none of the passes, none of the credit and all of the blame. And the MS media is in on it.

I'm just going out on a limb here.

Except you left out one thing...

It is wealthy white men privilege. I assure you that dirt-poor white men are either lost in the cult, or understand that all of this 'privilege' is only being given to the rich, white men. (Or the ones who have done a good job of passing as one.)

Maybe my last.

I didn't dig into the details of the hierarchy, but wealthy white men are certainly on top. But being white and not so wealthy also has its privileges as data from police stops and criminal justice outcomes will suggest. I think the Southern "good old boy" is descended from the poor Southern whites who were granted status over newly freed blacks following the Civil War. That power didn't make them wealthy, but it gave them license to act as Jim Crow enforcers while the white folks of means still disparaged them as poor white trash.
