White Privilege Debunked

2/28/2021: I watched a very brief snippet on Facebook by Dennis Prager on White Privilege. Here are my notes: "White Privilege was invented by the Left to explain why whites are doing better than blacks. But Asians are doing better than whites, and the Left does not complain about Asian Privilege. Why not talk of Asian Privilege? And since the 19802 voluntary immigrants from Africa far outnumber the blacks that came to America involuntarily as slaves. If America is so racist, why are these black immigrants flocking here, and they are one of the most successful immigrant groups. The real privilege is to be born with a two-parent family. Dad's teach values and curb the natural tendency for boys to be violent. Race is not the answer to everything. Values are the answer to everything." My response: It is impossible for me to disagree with anything that Dennis says. Leftists promote the myth of white racism as a tool for attacking whites, promoting reverse racism against them, to gain power and to overthrow the country by dividing its people and then conquering them. Tonight also, Jordan Peterson was on Facebook with a video snippet from Prager U on white privilege. Here are my notes: "The idea of white privilege is reprehensible. White people do have privileges, so we should be grateful for them and work to earn them. But to target an ethnic group with a collective crime regardless of the specific guilt or innocence (of each member of that group--my wording) of that group--that is abhorrent, a racist stereotype. It is unconscionable to attribute to whites collectively held guilt at the level of the individual as a legal or philosophical stance." My response: Jordan is correct in dismissing this attack on whites and will seek to see all Americans judged as individuals, not only in their group affiliations.
