    My question is “Now what?” Whether “White Privilege II” speaks to you or not I am more concerned with where do we go from here? How can we make this a better place for the next generation?

    The privileged group is the people that are having the higher percentage of illegitimate children for the working people to pay for while they complain and have a lot of free time on their hands, they would be the Black & Hispanic people..

      I tried to get your Mom to swallow you but the bitch grabbed me by the shoulders blades right when I busted. Sorry.

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        I should’ve beat your pop’s up for nutting in your mom’s nigga.

    2. marty mcfly says:

      No. Its white people. Part of “white privilege” is never having information put out there about how much money goes to programs to help poor white people in america especially large portions of middle america because if that ever came out the whole its the blacks and hispanics fault, argument would collapse. Money being designated to go entitlement programs were NEVER put in place for black people or hispanics, that was only a smoke screen to hide who those programs were really made for. The Nazi “ghetto experiments” were put in place for blacks and hispanics.

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        Idiot you don’t know nothing about what you have been told to believe.

        1. marty mcfly says:

          You should’ve addressed the comment to yourself. You like alot of those white people I’m describing who think blacks and hispanics are the reasons for their problems because they got the news on all day not knowing that blacks and hispanics never had the power to monopolize the economics of america in their favor for anything, let alone programs passed in D.C. That was your own kind selling you out for more money.

          1. el jim chapo guzman says:

            Black privilege exist also. Thugs like Travon get excused for violent behavior. Perjurers like Rachael Jeantel get to lie in court. Rioters get to destroy their own community and then blame racism for their position in life.

          2. marty mcfly says:

            So Trayvon was walking home with some Ice Tea and Skittles, he gets followed, confronted, chased, attacked and killed and the killer is seen as innocent while Trayvon went to the graveyard and you think thats black privilege? I don’t think so. Rioters don’t destroy their “own” community because they don’t “own” those properties that get destroyed. The same economic system that controls the conditions in those neighborhoods and keeps the wages low and the costs high, own those properties not the rioters. If rioters destroy a Walmart in their community, none of them actually “own” that Walmart. The fact you even equate that which is a reacting to oppression to a privilege is stupid.

          3. el jim chapo guzman says:

            You people keep making excuses for getting violent at the drop of a hat. Accepting and glorifying thuggish behavior is what keeps black communities at the bottom of the socioeconomic scale.

          4. marty mcfly says:

            I made no such excuse fool. Your “glorifying thuggish behavior” was the excuse why murdering Trayvon was ok in the eyes of white people when in reality Trayvon had the right to walk home and be left alone. Your talking about “glorifiying thuggish behavior” when white people been doing that since The Birth Of A Nation was released and since they could paint every black man in entertainment as a violent person when in reality they were the violent people. This went on for a few centuries in every form of entertainment in america and black people were at the bottom of the socioeconomic scale. Black people don’t have centuries of economics built into the system of america itself for the benefit of white people on the backs of slaves to stand on.

      2. Percy Miracles says:

        I am not on here much but it’s clearly evident that you have a crazy high level of hatred for white people in general. Majority of your answers always seem to deflect the real issues and redirect them towards white people as if they are the sole reason for everything? Never trust a person who doesn’t assume any responsibility. Just saying!

        1. marty mcfly says:

          I don’t know what you getting from my comments that suggests “hate” when what I’m saying is the truth of the matter. People want black people to take responsibilities for particular economic programs in america? Black people were never put in the position to assign the usage of millions of government dollars in america. Complaints are made to suggest that the government put these programs in place to help blacks and hispanics. What they leave out is any mention of white people and how the economics is set up to work in their favor on multiple levels in america. For me to say this is not hate but I know white people won’t.

          1. Percy Miracles says:

            I know hate when I see it. No further comment.

          2. marty mcfly says:

            No you don’t cause what I’m saying isn’t hate its the truth. No where I’m my comment do I imply or state that I hate white people. My comments are about specifics that can be backed up with historical facts. Thats the truth not hate. If my response to somebody’s comments was simply “I hate white people”? My comment wouldn’t make any sense and furthermore doesn’t take paragraphs to say I hate white people. Clearly my comments are about specifics topics. You only take them as hate because you know there true and you have nothing to counter them unless you wanna just throw the history of america out the window, which is what most people like you do because thats all your left with. White people are quick to talk about hate, programs in america in regards to what race they serve and about responsibility in terms of americas conditions? Ok lets talk about those things… Whenever white people’s role is question in regards to these things they run away because they wanna talk blacks and mexicans as if they don’t have a great deal do with circumstances america is in.

            If I did hate white people I would proudly say so because as a black man if I told a native american or a jew or a japanese person that I did not hate white people? They would look at me like I was crazy for not hating them considering the hatred directed at my people from them.

        2. marty mcfly says:

          When white people go to the local office for public assistance their seen as respectable human beings that deserve to be helped in the wealthiest country on earth. They’ll kick their story in that office and be given the benefit and understanding that they should get considering the economics in the country.

          Let some black people go down there with the same circumstances and their seen a lazy people that actually want to struggle cause they don’t take any responsibility. They’ll be factored in a bunch of stats in the news but meanwhile not a peep on the number of white people that have been getting financial assistance for years…
