There are 5 million poor white kids in this country. Let's explain white privilege to their parents.

71. but it IS the discussion here

if there is such a thing as white privilege, then clearly POOR whites should have it. But since poor whites clearly have LESS privileges than not-poor, then white privilege is mostly something that will get you a cup of coffee once you add 50 cents to it.

And it's kinda hard for liberals to talk about white privilege without poor people hearing it. Heck, the opposition will WANT poor people to hear it, just like we wanted people to hear Romney's comments about the 47%.

White people who happen to be living hard lives, or lives that they are unhappy about don't like to be told about their privileges because they know damned well they don't have any.

But then they don't find sympathy for their unhappiness or troubles, they are mocked, scolded and told to empathize with all of the racist BS that Oprah and Obama have to put up with.
