This is a slightly updated version of something I first wrote and published on February 17, 2011. It could be considered an illustration of my personal motto – Not for Our Time, but for All Time. Not for All People, but for Our People – and it remains one of my favorites.
One cannot be a vocal advocate of the Southern people, and our heritage and culture, without encountering the topic of race on a regular basis. It shouldn’t be that way but it is, so it must be confronted head-on.
We have all been hearing recently about the concept of White Privilege – what our accusers seem to define as an unearned, unmerited advantage that Whites have over other races. To that I answer, “Guilty As Charged.”
Let’s look at this White Privilege that gives me an “unfair” advantage over others:

It is unarguable that living in your own country, surrounded by people who look like you, talk like you and act like you, is a measurable advantage. It's only recently someone came up with a word to make it seem like a bad thing when white people have it.

DeleteGood point.
Thank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteI've shared it on my FACEBOOK page, my USA LIFE page, and my GAB page.
Thanks.
DeleteI am off subject here. I am looking for anyone who lnows the character called 'Ol Remus' from the website 'Woodpile Reoport'. We think he lives somewhere near Murphy maybe, but he is out of action on his web site and we are worried. Paul Scott New Zealand paulscottfilms@gmail.com>
ReplyDeleteThanks and I don't know where he lives and see his last post was the 9th. Try sending him an email. He quit one time but then came back and this would be unlike him.
DeleteI don't give much thought to 'racism' but this I know to be true
ReplyDeleteand must live by these truths I’m not saying that “White privilege” exists. I’m only saying this: “if it exists” then let us consider the following:
White people built the United States of America (and we built Europe as well). We built everything in it. All of America’s laws, customs, habits, traits, architecture, folkways, beliefs, and values are White, and only White. So, if “White privilege” does exist, how is it a bad thing? How is it shameful for Whites? It’s actually a good thing, like an inheritance, like a carrying-on of White tradition. I have always been taught that everything “traditional” is good and that it’s the new, untried ideas that you should be suspicious of.
And, Whites paid for all of this not Alien races.
(One more thing: the term “White privilege” was coined by two Marxists [Noel Ignatiev, a Jew, and Theodore Allen, a gentile] in 1967).
