Explaining White Privilege to White Folks

July 19, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Are you white?  That means you’re special.  I know, I know, with a smart black man in the White House, it’s easy to forget how special you are because you are white.

And that’s what we have Steve King to remind you of how special your lily white ass is.

Yeah, get a load of this

“This whole ‘white people’ business does get a little tired, Charlie,” King responded. “I’d ask you to go back through history and figure out, where have these contributions been made by these other categories of people that you’re talking about? Where did any other sub-group of people contribute more to civilization?”

“Than white people?” MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked.

“Than—than western civilization itself, that’s rooted in western Europe, eastern Europe, and the United States of America, and every place where the footprint of Christianity settled the world,” King said. “That’s all of western civilization.”

What kind of cheese do you put on that cracker?

I wish someone had reminded him that Jesus was brown.

Kim-Weaver-IowaOkay, his Democratic opponent is a friend of mine.  Her name is Kim Weaver.  I’m going to be honest with you and tell you that Kim is a long shot but that local media says if anyone can beat Steve King, it is Kim.  I’m asking you to go give her some love.  Five or ten dollars will buy her some yard signs or mailers.

I thank Kim for running.  I know you do, too.
