Why only certain whites and non-whites are accused of having white privilege.

If you’re a young white American, then you had probably been accused of having “white privilege” and that you are a racist and an oppressor. You may feel that you’re being taught to hate yourself and that America is bad. That you somehow benefited from American history that made you better off than “people of color”. You’re being told that in school and on social forums.

This idea of white privilege was cooked up by college professors from Harvard who are “privileged” with having tenure and undeserved high salaries taken out of exorbitant student tuitions and further subsidized by government grants. These college professors, with their “Critical Race Theory”, have influenced many of your teachers, media outlets, social forums, and politicians.

The strange part about this charge of “white privilege” is that if you’re a certain non-white American then you may also be accused of having white privilege.  In your case, they would call you “white-adjacent.” That means that you also receive benefits similar to whites. This could include Asian Americans, other non-whites, and even certain African Americans. Now, how weird is that? The other weird part is that most of your accusers are also white. But they have exempted themselves from white guilt and only attack certain segments of the white and non-white population.

So yes, if you are white, you are privileged, but not in the derogatory envious sense, but because your ancestors created the greatest civilization that has ever existed, the Western Civilization. Now, that doesn’t mean that you automatically benefit from being white, you still have to work at it. Non-whites that embrace Western values also benefit.

The roots of Western civilization go back to ancient Greece and the teachings of Aristotle, the father of Western Civilization. Historically, the roots took hold in Western Europe: beginning with the rise and the fall of The Greek and Roman empires; to the 1000 years of stagnation called the “Dark Ages”; to the Renaissance or “the rebirth of reason”; to the discovery of the “New World”, where The United States of America was born and to the Industrial Revolution, a period of the greatest technological advancement in all of human history.

Now let’s talk about the U.S. of A. The founding of America represented the greatest victory ever against tyranny by the Men of Liberty. America was the culmination of thousands of years of struggle for freedom, for men to live in peace, to produce, and to prosper. Our Founding Fathers, the Men of Liberty, created the most important document of all time. For thousands of years, men attempted to codify individual rights. The Constitution of the United States was the culmination of their attempts. The Constitution was not a perfect document, but still, it unleashed such creativity and productivity as the world had never seen before. Americans became the most inventive and the most productive people in the world. As the leader of Western civilization, American creativity and productivity carried the world in the most positive and profound way. Most of the inventions, discoveries, and creativity come from the West. Every country in the world owes a great debt to America and the West. To the extent other countries practiced Western principles, they also became prosperous.

So, this is the America they want you to hate. Before we get to the reasons why they teach you this propaganda and why they attack certain segments of the white and non-white population, let’s first talk about racism in America.

Throughout human history, slavery has always existed and still is in parts of the world. America is the only country that fought a Civil War to end slavery. Over 600,000 soldiers died fighting that war. That’s more than died in the two world wars combined. Every so often black leaders demand reparations for having been harmed due to their ancestors being enslaved. Greedy politicians seem to be more than willing to oblige. I would agree to reparations on two conditions. Make sure that the descendants of African kings and nobles who became very rich by selling their own people to slavery also give reparations to African-Americans. The second condition is those African Americans who accept reparations in return give reparations to the descendants of all the 600,000 soldiers who died to free the slaves. All of this is absurd, isn’t it?

There is still racism in America but not so much in the general population anymore as certain people are trying to imply. Let’s examine one such case where racism is still practiced.

Many African Americans ignore racist attacks and take advantage of the “privilege” America has to offer. They have embraced the unique American values that had become such a positive force in Western culture. Today 40% of blacks enjoy being part of the Middle Class. There are also 7 black billionaires and 1.79 million black millionaires. These numbers are below that of whites. But these figures could be higher if it wasn’t for certain politicians holding many blacks back. This is happening in large inner cities where over many decades politicians, through the welfare system, have created an underclass in the belief that blacks are an inferior race.  They deny them proper education and police protection from criminals. The result is that the underclass is poorly educated and suffers a high degree of violent crimes. These politicians have created a generational welfare dependency that assures them of their votes. In school and in the workplace black people suffer racism in the form of Affirmative Action, which is demeaning to the honest black person and unfair and detrimental to the society as a whole. Since 1964, the government spent over $22 trillion of our tax money to fight “The War on Poverty”. Living conditions improved somewhat, but the original purpose of the “War” was a complete failure. It has created a whole class of people incapable of becoming self-sufficient. How is all that tax money used? Well, just enough money goes to the “poor” to perpetuate dependency to the politicians. The rest is wasted in running dozens of welfare programs that keep thousands of bureaucrats and civilians in comfortable but unproductive jobs.

Now, let’s get back and talk about you. Why are you accused of being some sort of a bad person? Why are they teaching you this systemic racism crap? According to the Critical Race Theory, the problem is systemic, if you’re white, then you are the oppressor, and if you are non-white, then you are the oppressed. There are lots of things wrong with this doctrine and all of it is bad. First, this is supposed to make you feel guilty so that you will become a good little taxpayer and gladly hand over more and more of your hard-earned money to the government to help out the oppressed. Of course this doesn’t work as the example I gave you about the inner-city poor. They are not really interested in helping the “oppressed’ but only in helping themselves.

The other bad thing is that it creates racial division. It is what they want. They do not want blacks and whites to get along and to get together to oppose oppressive government regulations and taxes.

The “systemic” part means that racism is embedded in white culture, so the only remedy is to get rid of white culture. This leads to the most important and evil motive of your accusers. It answers the question of why they only attack certain segments of the white and non-white population. The greatness of Western civilization is not because it was created by white people, but it was the values of individualism embraced by people in Western Europe who happened to be white. It is individualism they want to erase from the white culture. Or more precisely it is those whites, and non-whites, who still believe in individual rights, self-reliance, free enterprise, and less government regulations of their lives that they are after.

Individualists believe in the American Dream, that if you work hard you can achieve a life to the fullest of your abilities. Individualists believe in peaceful open relations with their neighbors. They want to provide for themselves and their family and not be forced to support others. Individualists believe that the primary function of the government is to protect life and liberty and only pay for those services they need.

Yes, they hate those who believe in American values of individualism. Through the CRT and various other subtle methods, they try to convert you to the same hateful person that they are.

I hope you have found my first post informative. I will try to produce a new article every week or so. My next one “Unique American Values” will explain American values and why they are special even as compared to Western values in general.
