Like white on rice.

He replyed with "white hole" in which case the tickets would be appearing from the department instead of disapering in it.

You finally posted something worth taking the time to pay attention to! just joking... Great video.

I took a course at University that dealt with understanding "Whiteness" and how, as a white person, I could never be the victim of racism and how, as a white person, I am racist without ever even knowing it. Any dissenting opinion simply confirmed to the instructor that we were racist, since we were obviously in denial and/or completely unaware of white privilegein the first place. It was rather annoying being told that we didn't get it, when we obviously can get it... a white person can understand what it is like to be black like a non-parent can understand what it is to be a parent. Not completely, but enough to not be called an ignorant child hater.

what is white privilege?

It is not often that we hear the words white privilege. "Racism" is a term that we hear more regularly. These words are actually closely related, although the parallel is almost never drawn.

Some people have described white privilege as the flip-side of racism. Behind the violence and discrimination of racism that people of color are subjected to in this country are the advantages and protections of having white skin. Peggy McIntosh, a scholar on white privilege, describes it as "an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools, and blank checks."

White privilege is not only about experiences on an individual level, but it is a web of institutional and cultural preferential treatment.

Sharon Martinas describes white privilege as the preferential treatment, on an individual, institutional, and cultural level, to individuals whose ancestors came from Europe over people whose ancestors came from the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the Arab world. This preferential treatment exempts European Americans from the forms of racial and national oppression inflicted upon people whose ancestors are not from Europe. Although this is true today, it has not always been true. The ethnic groups who are considered White have changed many times over the years.

Understanding Whiteness, Recognizing Privilege

Anyway, Dennis is funny as usual.

I understand that Black people have a terrible history with Civil Rights in the US but this is getting ridiculous, now 'Black Hole' is racist? Whats net they want to change the name of the color because its racist?


Maybe white people should call the cracker racist. Then maybe people will see how ridiculous this is.

Seriously... Women have more of a gripe against the word "human" or "woman" than African-Americans have against "black-hole".
I have a "black-hole" that nobody wants to get near...
but a woman is no "man" so why does she not have her own title.

He - She
Man - Woman
Men - Women
Male - Female

History

So the day that a woman politician makes an outburst like this guy did and complains about terminology, I will know that all is lost for huMANity.

Yeah, well, I'm upset that women have more letters in their words than men do.

Ok, I can't actually tell if you're joking or not, but I've just got to point out (if I don't, my head will explode) that the word 'history' is not in any way related to the word 'his'.

I'm surprised no on complains about the word menstruate. I'm...not even sure whether men or women should be feigning offense at that one.

Speaking as a grown black man. Do not pay attention to grown black men who still have corn rolls. You are NOT supposed to have corn rolls if you're over 20. Please Mr. Texas black man. Take them off?
