Terms like white privilege and reverse racism are racist on their own...

    Anytime a white person is mistreated because of their race, or faces an unfair burden, and complains, they are condemned by the left and told to "check their privilege", In other words, if you are white you have no right to complain about anything, even if something would be considered unjust if the person complaining wasn't white.

    And whenever someone who isn't white is racist or prejudiced against a white person, the far left calls it "reverse racism". This is done because for some odd reason, the far left want it to be believed that only white people can be racist, and that non-white racists are simply "reversing" that racist back at them.

    Nah, that tactic of racists being accused of what they are is in fact racism by the accusers has failed long time ago. :)

    I thought Trump supporters were "tired" of all this racism jazz.

    You really want to bring it up again and whine about it?

    Really?

    I just go about my life and don't care. I learned long ago some people can't be reasoned with and I'm better off pretending they don't exist.

    I'm white, I'm pretty OK with it, I'd also be fine being black, brown, yellow, or purple.

    Woah wait, what a revelation. You're white and don't have to think about it? I wonder if there's a term that can capture this state of affairs...

    Hmm... there must be a word that can capture a state of affairs in which some aspect of your identity allows you to go through life without having to worry about race. It's like, some kind of special immunity or advantage or something.

    Oh man you're a genius. "White privilege!" It's perfect.

    Incidentally, you've captured exactly what white privilege actually is. It doesn't mean that you don't suffer hardship, or that "you have it easy." It means you get to ignore certain injustices of our society because they don't effect you. You get to cover your ears, close your eyes, and just keep walking. It's been that way for 400 years.

    I'm Irish, my family fled the famine. I don't need to care about anyone else, especially over the hardships of their ancestors. I harbor no ill will towards the British, and you want to know why? Because I don't live in a magical fantasy land where the year is still 1850.

    So racism cant effect any white people? Do you also believe only whites can be racist?

    Of course it can.

    Of course not.

    Any other ridiculous questions? Maybe you want to actually talk about what I'm saying?

    If you want to get ahead, sooner or later, you have to stop being a victim.

    Political agitation isn't victimhood. To do something about injustice, you have to point it out.

    Again, I don't see where I fit into this equation. The only people I truly care about are my family, everyone else can sod off.

    Of course I can. It's a matter of degrees and prevalence. People like PanMonarchist can not ever have to think about race.

    If anti-white racism was maintaining the impoverishment of our white community, you'd be right.
