Sure wish I could cash in myself on some of that sweet “White Privilege” these morons prattle on and on about.
Sunny Hostin of “The View” is facing intense backlash for suggesting wealthy blacks have it harder in America than poor whites.
Said during an episode of “The View” that aired last month, the comments are just now going viral. The comments come specifically from an episode during which the co-hosts of the show discussed the Supreme Court’s decision to nix affirmative action.
Amid that discussion, Hostin said this: “The lived experience of a white kid in Appalachia or perhaps on a potato farm in Idaho is different in this country for a black student, whether that black student be wealthy or not, because this country was founded on slavery.”
The suggestion was that, because America was allegedly founded on slavery (more on this later), then the so-called “lived experience” of black children is worse than the “lived experience” of white children.
Hey, don’t go gettin’ all mad ’n’ sheeeitz, Whypeepuh; bitch is just “living her truth,” dat be all. And in an age when Leftards rail vehemently against all and every aspect of objective reality itself—when up is down, cold is hot, men are women, wet is dry, and 2+2=5—how could any reasonable soul expect the concept of an incontrovertible, universally-accepted Truth to survive? Why, dat be RAYCISS™ ’n’ sheeeitz, yo!
The remarks triggered backlash for a couple of main reasons.
One, critics took offense to the notion that black people have automatically lived a harder life just because of the color of their skin.
And two, critics took an issue with the critical race theory-rooted idea that America was founded on slavery.
This idea is refuted mainly by the fact that slavery existed long before the founding of America, as well as the fact that slavery still exists to this day.
“There’s still slavery in parts of the world today, and depending on how you judge it and how you measure it, there’s potentially even more slavery in the world today than there has ever been in the past,” conservative commentator Jack Posobiec noted during a discussion recorded earlier this year.
There most certainly is not, that’s just another of De Blue-Eyed Debill’s filthy lies. Slavery only ever existed in the Southren Confederacy, nowhere else, and every Amurrkin Whypeepuh is still reaping the benefits of that unique atrocity to this very day. All at the expense of the Noble Oppressed, who conceptualized, designed, and built absolutely everything we have in Western Civ today, despite being entirely incapable of repeating that stupendous feat of creativity, skill, and industriousness back in their own paradisaical Motherland.
Yep, it’s a real headscratcher all right. I blame (((DEM PESKY JOOOOZ!!!))), myself.
I grew up poor, mostly below the poverty line. We ate every day, but not always enough. Clothes were mostly donated hand-me-downs. Went to below-average schools which emphasized football and had no programs for advanced students. Tell me about this privilege I had when growing up. I think I’m due reparations because I missed out on my share.
In the late 1980s I had a coworker whom I mostly didn’t despise. Black, grew up in NYC. Convinced that he had lived a life of deprivation and hardship, though he had both of his parents, and they were both professionals and made decent money, and he was an only child, and he went to a private school, and not only did he not have to help support his family once he was old enough, they mostly paid for his college. He often brought up that one night he and some friends were hassled by cops. He got pissed off when I pointed out that by most metrics, I grew up blacker than he did.
Not growing up in “the city”, I never knew a poor black kid. All the black folks I knew were middle class or higher economically.
