Ok, fine then

My opinion is that far too many people are trying to milk this whole "white privilege" concept to further their own racist actions of discrimination. This country wouldn't be the most technologically advanced country in modern Africa without the intervention of the west (be it from Asia, Europe or the America's) and many people should stop passing the buck and get on with doing their jobs to the best of their ability.

Now why would I waste my valuble internet listening to stuff like that?

If you really want people to get an interest you need to place transcripts so they can decide if they are prepared to waste their net.

So NO, I will not listen to those vids.

Also I recall you were the reason the previous threads got merged & closed.
Now you start a new thread & challenge the mods out right???? Did a recent lightning storm fry your brain?

@enigma:

The american society is a eurocentric one. The south arican society is a eurocentric one.

Guys, put forth you opinions on white privilge and the legacy of colonialism.

I don't need etymology lessons from you, thanks. Tim Wise spews opinions from an American perspective, hence US-centric. It's got sweet f'all to do with Eurocentricity in this instance.

My goodness, this guy back with his BS? Do you really expect anyone here to have the time to watch over an hour of pointless dribble?

I watched part 3 of speech 2. He seems like an intelligent guy so it makes me wonder how he can spout such utter rubbish. As described by enigma, I think 'white apologist' is an apt description.

I liked this comment on the YT page:

"White people are the ONLY people who can't love their ancestor's cultures or their ancestors themselves (I assume he's talking about repercussions of the perception that we were such a horrid lot to anyone and everyone throughout history), white people are the only people who aren't allowed to gather on the basis of race. white privilege isn't just a lie, but actually the exact opposite of reality."

This drivel is well suited to TheRooster's blog - post it there for rave reviews http://killallwhitey.blogspot.com/

Again we ask David, post Quotes!
No one is going to watch 50+min videos, expecially since mostly everyone here is at work or something.

GUys, you don't have to watch these videos. Nobody if forcing you to. I don't have transcripts but you can check out wikipedia (white privilege)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_privilege

"white privilege is a way of conceptualizing racial inequalities that focuses as much on the advantages that white people accrue from society as on the disadvantages that people of color experience"

What do you think about that quote?
