Wow. Jeb Bush, of all people, came down hard on white people who complain constantly about having to pay taxes to support the services they enjoy and conservatives who constantly whine about all the racial minorities stealing their jobs and destroying the American way of life.

That's about as scathing a view of white privilege I've ever heard from a Republican.

Oh, wait, sorry. I didn't see the whole excerpt:

Sorry. It turns out that Jeb Bush is just a typical snotty, rich right winger scolding people who have the nerve to complain about being treated like doormats and relegated to second class citizen status in the land of freedom and opportunity. Never mind.
