I still don't even buy it that Bill is really a conservative. I think he's just a guy who is paid enough by his masters to spew what he's told to spew.

If the price tag was right, a lot of us would go on the air to say things we don't really believe.

That makes it even worse.

At what point will 'white privilege' be considered over? How many years / decades / centuries must pass? How many affirmative action programs / laws must be enacted to consider all races/ women on equal footing?
When sentencing certain individuals in our Canadian courts here, judges here are required to take their ancestry into consideration.
Here in Canada, there's also a big move afoot for governments to apologize for historical injustices -- Japanese, Chinese, Sikhs, natives, Jews, etc.
My problem is that we are looking at history through a modern lens which is crazy. How far back are we going to go? 50 years? 100 years? A millennia? Should Christians today should apologize for the Crusades?
PS. Before somebody accuses me of a hidden agenda, I have no axe to grind. I am part native but don't make a big deal of it. I certainly don't look at a white guy and think, "Hey that guy owes ME something because of what his great-great-great-grandfather did."
I think Bill is right... at some point people have to stop leaning on laws and affirmative action movements as a crutch/excuse and get on with working things out for themselves.

I think he said it in the interview. He's paid to be obnoxious.

The inequities of white privilege perpetuated via historical and cultural oppression are required to be corrected via political/legal means.

Hand-in-hand with that is the concept that white people today must also be made to feel guilty for these historical wrongdoings.

I think most people would get my point...

@MichaelL
you realize your entire argument is not addressing white privilege at all right?

enochsays...

@MichaelL
i agree that most would understand your point,including myself.

i was merely pointing out that your argument has little or nothing to do with white privilege and after reading your response,i am forced to come to the conclusion you do not know what white privilege actually is.

so your conflation of racism and racial bias to white privilege is not uncommon but rather the norm.

MichaelLsays...

I've got this rule... I don't argue with the stupid or the obtuse.

You win.

Moving on...
