White Privilege and Remembering Gary Webb's FATAL Wake-Up Call to Reality....

Am I really supposed to be shocked or surprised that Whites DO NOT ACCEPT THEIR OWN WHITE PRIVILEGE? Of course not. I have already typed about the fact that I've PERSONALLY SEEN HOW POORLY WHITES DEAL WITH BEING STRIPPED OF THIS AND THEN HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE SAME TYPE OF TREATMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS THAT THEY HEAP ON US, AS BLACK PEOPLE. The worse part is that the moment the screws were put to them, THEY TENDED TO TRY TO LASH OUT FIRST! PHYSICALLY! They turned
"just as violent" as they claim we are as Black People, the moment they felt as though myself or any other Blacks were IMPEDING THEM.

But when confronted with THE FACT THAT, lashing out isn't going to gain them anything. Just about ALL OF THEM SHUTDOWN. They couldn't cope. Couldn't function. Became despondent and ultimately curled into either a physical or psychological fetal-position and laid there and stayed there.

Again, like I've typed before, nobody wants to be shown that their so-called accomplishments. Had VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH ANY SKILL ON THEIR PART. Even Gary Webb famously said that he thought he was this great INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER. Till he walked into;
Webb himself honestly believed he was making a difference as a reporter till it came time for him to experience what we as Black Americans live on a daily basis. Trying to find some line of not becoming a bloodthirsty, bitter human-being. While ACTIVELY BEING TARGETED IN A HOST OF HORRIFIC WAYS BY WHITES OVERTLY AND COVERTLY. Yet every time any kind of attempt to talk and reason the issues out, it ends up being a mocking-joke on the part of Whites. Who simply dismiss the whole thing as some sort of Black Paranoia and bullshit. Well? When Webb uncovered all of the shit that MOST BLACK AMERICANS WERE ALREADY UP IN ARMS ABOUT. Regarding the Crack-Epidemic, he too was talking that White shit AT FIRST. That all we do is sit around and talk crazy conspiracy shit and make up false-claims of victimhood of Whites "trying to get us".
Where of course, we all know that the same bullshit was said about Native American Indians claiming Whites were "out to get them" and we see how shit worked out for them, RIGHT!
I've said it before and I'll say it again! Nobody in their right-mind wants to hear that they come from or are, DIRT-BAGS! And just like We as Black People reject the White Notion that we're nothing but niggers. I am expect nothing less for them to reject White Privilege. This is why producing tangible results in the world is what matters most. But it is also why so many on all sides will stoop to any level to do it!

With that said, HERE IS THE ARTICLE, and for me? I don't waste my time proving White Privilege, because I don't need to. Because of the massive changes in technology and such, many Whites are finding out the hard way and on their own that it exists and when they cannot cash-in, they turn into the Dylan Roof's of the world. My task, is to spend MY ENERGY, TEACHING MY OWN PEOPLE TO NOT GET FRUSTRATED AND DISCOURAGED. By working TOGETHER, FINDING LIKE-MINDED BLACK-PEOPLE IN YOUR AREA AND ONLINE? NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERCOME AND ACHIEVE TANGIBLE, REAL WORLD RESULTS;

White people reject claims of white privilege, study finds

White people are quick to cite personal hardships instead of acknowledging that they are privileged because of their skin color, according to a new study.
Stanford University’s L. Taylor Phillips and Brian S. Lowery, writing in November’s Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, split test subjects into two groups — with one given more evidence of white privilege in American culture.
Those given more information about privilege cited greater examples of personal hardship than the control group, according to the researchers.
“Whites may claim increased hardships to maintain not only a positive sense of self, but also the material benefits associated with racial privilege. Whites’ claims of hardship might also serve to legitimize the racial advantages they enjoy, and thereby justify a system that benefits their group,” the researchers wrote.
Citing personal struggles helped test subjects acknowledge white privilege — while rationalizing that they’re not directly gaining from it, the study said.
As a remedy, the researchers suggest “privilege reduction efforts” focus on convincing or educating advantaged group members about privilege, and also on “reducing the feelings of self-threat this information induces.”
