WHO IS PRIVILEGED?

My previous post was addressed to people who feel they must live under the weight of White guilt, a concept peddled by the Liberal media to demonize and shame people who were accidentally born White. Yes. Overt racist propaganda against European-Americans can be accessed anywhere today here in the U.S. and in Europe. This is particularly bizarre in Europe where people are being arrested for hate speech on the basis of racist remarks. That is, White people are being arrested and threatened with prosecution. Non-Whites can be as racist as they like in public.

However, this is all a transitory phenomenon. White people are already a racial minority on the planet. Soon we White folks will be able to claim minority status just about everywhere. This was brought home to me today in my own apartment complex.

I live in a complex of about 300 rental units in a suburb of Boston. It's a decent place. It is well maintained and convenient to transportation and services. It is also fairly expensive, in my opinion. There is a pool. There are elevators. There is landscaping. These things usually inflate rents. 

The complex has a rental subsidy program for The Underprivileged. There are apparently, just in my several months here, a growing population of single mothers with young children. They are predominantly Black. The management released a memo last week stating that unsupervised children should not be running throughout the complex or riding bicycles in traffic lanes. The only unsupervised children, approximately a dozen or so, whom I've seen doing this quite regularly, are Black. And they have been occasionally massing into a gang of sorts at various spots in the complex. 

The memo was written by a Black staffer, I believe. She is a manager of the property. The managers are predominantly non-White and very pleasant. So, given that managers of diverse backgrounds, who have facilitated the rental of nice apartments for The Underprivileged, have asked for cooperation, would it be unreasonable to assume they would be heeded? Yes. It would. After all, we are told, poor Black people feel they deserve a hand out of poverty. They aren't poor because of anything they have done or not done, like complete an education. They are hard-working, well-behaved citizens. So they say. I would like to believe them.

I drove into the complex this afternoon after an errand. As I drove down the access road to the garage, there was a traffic stop. Why? Two Black children, with no parent visible, were blocking the road.  One was about five, on a bicycle, and the other was about eleven, on a skateboard. Once they grudgingly got out of the way of the cars in front of me, we moved on cautiously in a line. As I turned the corner to the garage, quite a distance from the two blocking the road, I spied a young pregnant Black woman with two smaller children in front of her. She appeared to be straining her eyes for the two road-blockers, who were now out of sight. Could she possibly think she was supervising them?

I am sure there are those who will read this and shake their heads dismissively. They would judge me as racist, perhaps supremacist, to expect that woman to heed the same rules as anyone else in my neighborhood. But who is racist? Doesn't ignoring a community standard because you are Black indicate racist entitlement to racial privilege? Doesn't taking the thousands of dollars every year in taxpayer assistance to live above your means and to continue to bear children you yourself cannot support reek of entitlement and privilege?

When I see scores of White or Asian single mothers behaving this way in this complex or anywhere else for that matter, I will retract every word, but, until then, I will believe my own eyes and ears, not the myths being touted by misguided Liberals in the media.
