Brandon Tatum doesn’t forgive you for your white privilege. How can he forgive you for something that doesn’t even exist? So, where did the notion of white privilege come from? Who does it benefit? And who does it hurt? The answers might surprise you.

Script:

“Woke” white people, I’d like to ask you a favor: 

Please stop asking for forgiveness for your “white privilege.”

You’re not fooling anybody. You’re not helping black people—or any other minority. And your public confessions don’t make you look virtuous. They make you look disingenuous, which is a really nice way of saying fake, phony, and fraudulent.

For starters, what is “white privilege” anyway? Because you were born with white skin, you have all these advantages that I don’t have? 

Like what? 

Like, you can get a mortgage loan that I can’t get?

Hmm. I got a loan—at a great rate, by the way—and I got the house. Why would a banker not give a loan to someone who met the loan requirements? He doesn’t want to make money? I’ve never heard of such a banker. 

Or, how about this: You can enter a store and not be looked upon with suspicion, but I—a black person—cannot. Except...that has never happened to me. 

But if I was a young dude with my pants hanging down to my butt, I could understand why a store owner would be concerned. I used to be a cop. Believe me, I understand. If I owned the store, I’d be tracking that kid, too—whether he was black, white, or anything else.

Or, what if I had a store that had a history of being shoplifted by young black women, and a young black woman with a bad attitude walked in. Would I be suspicious? Yeah, I would. Who wouldn’t? 

I call that common sense, not bigotry. 

But there’s another way of looking at this: In many ways, in today’s America, blacks have more privilege than whites. It’s been my experience that whites bend over backwards to give blacks every possible advantage.

If two people are equally qualified for a job, the black person will usually get it. Big companies and prestigious universities fall all over one another trying to sign up talented black people. 

If you deny this, you are denying reality. 

Which is what the person who dreamed up this whole thing did—a professor of women’s studies at Wellesley College by the name of Peggy McIntosh. She wrote an article in 1988 about all the “white privilege” she thought she had. She listed 46, including this one: “I can choose…bandages in ‘flesh’ color and have them more or less match my skin.” Wow, that’s some kind of privilege!

Soon others took up the cause.

Today, these so-called progressives dominate our colleges and universities, imposing this absurd notion of white privilege on their students. That’s too bad. Because it does nothing good for white students. And it does nothing good for black students. But of the two, ironically, the white students get the better of the deal. 

Let me explain:

To acknowledge your white privilege is supposed to make you feel bad. Only it doesn’t. It makes you feel good because by acknowledging your white privilege, you’re declaring yourself to be enlightened. And as a virtue-bonus, it also makes you a better person than those whites who don’t acknowledge their privilege. 

White privilege, which is supposed to make you feel bad, ends up making you feel good. Meanwhile, the real damage is to blacks. What makes whites feel good makes blacks angry.

More than 50 years after the start of the Civil Rights movement, the message is: “You’re still oppressed.” How can this not create a victim mentality? And anyone—of any color—who sees himself as a victim gets angry.

If only we had someone 50 years ago who said, judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin oh wait. . .

Sad thing is, he will be called a “Uncle Tom” because he refuse to buy into the Victim mentally.

As a white guy who hung around kind of bad people as a kid, I can safely say that if you dress like a thug, you get treated like a thug, no matter your skin color.

17 year old Mexican here. The only privilege that exists in the US is to be an American, people who don't value that make me feel frustrated, they don't know what it's like to live in the third world.

My black professor with a doctorate in Oppression Studies gave me an F on a cultural diversity paper where I stated that I stood by MLK Jr.'s quote about content of character vs the color of skin. I guess my being an immigrant and learning at least 3 different foreign languages after learning English whilst working abroad wasn't woke enough for her. And you know who failed right along with me? My fellow black classmates who weren't buying into the victimhood ideology. Ideologies enslave.

I just love when the phrase "white privilege" is thrown around. I didn't claw my way out of poverty from a broken home, it was just handed to me because of my skin color, obviously.

I'm white, and I get followed all the time in stores. Even when I'm with my 2 year old son. Security doesn't discriminate.

While I agree, when I was young and _always_ dressed appropriately. I would often be treated as a suspect when I was in stores. Followed, questioned by cops and such. As I got older it ended. Now, I get great respect as an older man. Basically, the thugs and I mean it when I say *thugs* make it harder for all of the good young Black men.

The greatest privilege is being born in America with two parents.

I need to figure out how to get Brandon saying, "Come on, now!" as a notification on my phone. The incredulity in his voice is priceless! 😆

Am enlightened I believe that we should be judged not on the color of our skin but the content of our character. Wishing you a great Martin Luther King day

Black privilege is being able to be racist and not considering it racism...
