Maybe we need a DU "white persons' group".

168. Little story for you -

In the last five years I have gone hungry for lack of food, finally going on food stamps. Have pawned my only car, a 98 Ford Escort with ~ 170,000 miles on it, to pay the electricity bill. Have had foreclosure proceedings started on my home twice, been sued by a hospital for non-payment of charges from an emergency visit, and continue to struggle to make ends meet. I've sold my tv, my bedroom furniture, even two sago palms from my back yard to get by. And that's just a glimpse.

Neither the grocery store, nor the electric company, nor the water company, nor the trash collectors, nor the hospital, etc., none of them offered to help me because I'm White. Not a single one.

Where was my White privilege?!

Another little bit of info for you. I grew up in a poor, predominantly Black neighborhood. Life was hard for everyone there. And nobody ever came down the street offering to liberate me and my family from poverty because we were White.

Where was my White privilege?!

Maybe my life experience compels me to point out the hypocritically racist ridicule and maligning of Whites (and heterosexuals and males and Christians, etc), like that found in the OP. Or maybe it's just that I abhor hypocrisy and hypocrites.
