No White Privilege in Upstate NY

Perhaps. Maybe prejudice? I don't know which fits better. But in either case...just as guilty as what they accuse others of being.

Majority privilege makes no claims about racial attributes. Races are incidental. The dynamic is majority power and minority power. The majority power seeks to maintain the status quo. This is socially natural (though harmful to society) and whatever race occupies the majority power position will engage in such. Members of the minority power group certainly can succeed, it's just more difficult as a result of majority privilege.

Again: majority privilege makes no claims whatsoever about racial attributes or characteristics, every race is presumed equal in all qualities. It's social dynamics, not biological dynamics.

The same goes for sex and sexual orientation. It's a majority - minority dynamic, the sexes and orientations are presumed equal in all qualities.

And racists also tell you to stop playing the race card, when it is in fact very very obvious that they are in fact being racist.

But the black girls are the ones who invoked the false racism charges and the left supported them without knowing the real facts involved

Yes, because as we all know one anecdotal example is sufficient to prove all similar incidents are false too.</sarcasm>

Just like the dozens of women who have come forward with sexual assault and harassment claims against Trump, Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly......

I remember a couple years ago when the Fox News crowd was tripping all over themselves to praises Cliven Bundy for standing up to Obama until he dropped the N*bomb on a nationally televised interview. I suppose that means we can infer that all Fox News does is back racists right?

There should be a stronger punishment for making false accusations of a hate crime than the hate crime itself
