snipped.
If this post had been about "angry middle class men" I would have had less of an issue with it. And it isn't about being PC.

So todays white man must bear the burden of 200+ years of oppression that he had nothing to do with? I guess that makes as much sense to some as a middle class black man being given 40 acres and a mule. He earned them through the oppression of an unrelated slave right?
But I'm still waiting for the white privilege to kick into my life. As a white man that had to leave college three times in order work(all the loan money was sucked up by minority students) I'm wondering where my white privilege was then. As an older white man now being left to wither on the vine as younger,less experienced,less qualified minorities are being promoted in order to fill a PC quota, I'm still wondering where my white privilege is.
As for the latter part of the quoted statement I have to agree as I stated in an earlier post. Otherwise ***** all bleeding heart liberal azzhats!
