Arguing about the bendiction Dr. Suessical is indeed childish, but the issues it raised are not.

A White Man in America deluding himself there's no White Privilege in this country?! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Will the same man claim there's no Male Privilege?


I think these things are worth debating. I can only imagine how insulted people of color would be at a white man denying white privilege in America. It's only imagination, as I'm not a person of color. But it's that very imagination that let's me contemplate just one day as a black man in America and face the White Privilege by 9:00 a.m. that imaginary morning.

So, you mean to tell me that there are college scholarships available to whites, just as there are other race-exclusive ones? Please show me some, because I need money for school. I know there are plenty of gender-based ones as well, but thankfully I'm a woman, so the majority of those are already in my favor.

(I wasn't offended by any of the rhymes, by the way.)

Anyway, back to the topic at hand -

When I was working the MLK parade, it was so wonderful to see celebration amongst races. Never once was I looked at as if I didn't belong. I got plenty of smiles and told "Happy Kings' Day" many times. It certainly was a happy one. I wish I could have bottled up all the positive energy from that day, because it was astounding. Definitely reinforced the exhilarated feeling of a momentous occasion in history.

I thought we stopped holding Presidential administrations responsible about 6 years ago.

Here. Here. There are thousands of "ethnic" scholarships available that, by default, target whites. Although somehow labeling them as "Irish-American" or "Polish-American" seems to insulate them from criticism.
