Privilege? What privilege?
Perhaps white women have privilege, with all those scholarships and all those college preparedness classes and groups girls get before they go into college.
This white guy grew up poor, busted my ass to get in college, while nogs are over there complaining about not getting into college. I've seen stupid fucking idiot blacks much better off than my family ever was financially STILL FUCKING UP AND NOT HANDLING THEIR SHIT.
We were always poor and we didn't go robbing shit, neither did the other poor families we knew, fuck you with the socioeconomic pseudoscience sociology preaches.
I never once got a one up in anything, I earned everything so far and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I will enjoy the rewards my hard work has put in. Privilege had nothing to do with it. Go fuck yourself shillary and all the feminists and liberals too, I'll never help out any woman or minority, they already have enough help from the "let government be our nanny" crowd.

I was born in a trailer park. Sometimes my family didn't have electricity. I studied hard, got a merit scholarship. I worked an internship for shit pay my whole senior year. Now I'm an engineer who lives in a nice house in the suburbs and I make about $80k/yr.
Don't give me shit about privilege. I'm self-made.

Grew up poor. Single mother. I went off to the Army to pay for college. I made my own way. It may have also cost me some lifelong injuries from the service, but fuck it, I am able to get my shit done with.

How far we've fallen from meritocracy.

As long as white people live in trailer parks, we reject everything these assholes speak about racial inequality or privileged.

If anything, it's the Asians that should be complaining about lack of privilege.

I love that I can search for a doctor by their race when looking for one. Caucasian all fucking day. I know they weren't handed their degree

Just look at the absolute bottom rung vs the top rung. It's almost the same. Black at 58.7% vs Asian at 59%, that's lowest score vs highest score being about equally likely to be accepted. I for one am going to hunt out Asian dentists and GPs for my family, if they had to endeavor that much harder than everyone else without any handouts.

this whole white privilege thing reminds me of early 30's nazi propaganda just swap the jews and communists for white males.

She can get away with saying that, because the only whites who vote democrat are feminists and cucks. Feminists already agree with her, and cucks aren't known for standing up to anyone for any reason.
