..twits....once again Rex does us proud..."white privilege" another derogatory term invented by self-loathing white champagne socialists.
"I've seen the captious phrase "white privilege" -- a camp neologism by my reading -- very often lately. It emerges from the intellectual marshes of social justice "educators," a typical pseudo-concept from that roiling pastiche of academic pursuit.
At base this nonsense asserts that white people come equipped -- habited as it were -- with all sorts of advantage, opportunities, easy dealing, and in general a faster better reach for the good things of life than human beings less pale. The phrase has not surprisingly spawned a slogan -- after all, what academic discipline doesn't aspire to the abrupt short-thought of a bumper sticker? -- Check Your Privilege. Which translates into a hectoring from social justice warriors, as they so deliriously style themselves, for white people to stand back and tabulate with tearful guilt the infinite advantages that result from their epidermal good luck."........
