Har-har-har! You tell her, buddy! Maybe she'll go down to the gym.
i want video of gnashing of teeth and rending of shirts.
set to music.

Hey, that's the best reply I've seen in this train-wreck of a thread so far. Good on ya, mate.
Also, your icon gives it away that you were sarcastic in your OP, so I think we're on the same side, here.

kiss up all you want, he doesn't fuck fat guys either.
Congratulations on your honorary blackitude. How do you get the shoe polish from behind your ears at the end of a long day of self-righteousness?
"White privilege" is a phrase made-up to manipulate weak-willed liberals with guilt. Amazingly, it works a great deal of the time.
Actually, I have mostly seen it used by POC as an excuse to scream at me, just like the tripe about "all whites are racist" is used to scream at me. Too many local "activists" are very, VERY political, very angry, very aggressive, see anyone with white skin as the devil, and are not shy about saying so. Nothing I do or say mollifies them or stems the hatred. I just have to walk away from them, and avoid anyone I see giving me that suspicious-hateful glare. I just can't take anymore.
Yet mentioning that gets typical LJ-assholes coming out of the woodwork going "now you know how we feel! Walk it off, bitch." As if their hating on me would increase my compassion instead of fatiguing it further.
I am a short, disabled, borderline agorophobic, shit-poor woman with severe anxiety disorder and a terror of confrontation. Half of those who have intimidated and attacked me verbally (and once physically) have been large, non-disabled, MEN wearing clothes and jewelry I could never afford. Male privilege, abled privilege, and the privilege of wealth don't exist to people like that--but oh boy, WHITE PRIVILEGE!!!!!!!!!! is something they can never stop rubbing in people's faces. Even if we don't deserve it and are as badly off as they are--or worse--and just can't take being yelled at anymore.
Every time I get attacked, screamed at, or babbled at by some smug bigot who thinks they have my number because of my skin color, I lose a little of my sympathy for the politically-hypersensitive, mean-spirited variety of POC. I can't help it. I'm already in pain to the point where suicide looks like an option. I don't need or deserve to be attacked by someone who is just looking for a convenient white target when I'm NOT racist, have precious little "privilege" and have never hurt anyone involved.

I'm not the asshole in this conversation.
Are you serious, after such a witty come back the first time this is all you could come up with. I want internet divorce.
*sigh* Honestly, I just lost my temper. All that expressing my outrage at being stereotyped as racist has done has gotten the PC zombies, POCs who think I am the devil for being white and not ashamed of it, and other varieties of fucking hateful asshat attacking me. They must have smelled the blood in the water. "I can't take this shit anymore!" "Yaaaay, easy target! Let's get her!"
But that doesn't make me "RAAAAACIST" no matter how much they throw the word around.

POC = colored. just say it. at least be honest.
I beg your pardon sir! I am not fat. You could bounce a quarter off my abs.
Har. I'll let you know, if I ever want hepatitis.

That was in no way sarcastic, BTW. That was a genuine

You know, I've only known you a short time now and already I hate your guts.
Maybe you missed when I said "that's the sociological definition"? White privilege is a component of institutionalized racism, but that's not the entire story.
In many circles (I think it came from the academic definition) racial prejudice is the term for general hatred in attitudes and actions based on race, and can be perpetrated by any group. The term "racism" is instead reserved for racial prejudice that has the element of institutionalization and systematic power behind it.
I tend to use "racial prejudice" and "institutionalized racism" instead, because white people get really angry when you tell them they can be racist because they have white privilege and institutional power but that black people can only be prejudiced, and they ignore the bulk of what people are saying. Somehow even when it's explained people tend to skip over the explanation and think that you're saying that ethnic minorities can't hate and even cause violence based on race. And I just don't feel like dealing with that most of the time.

muy bien! no puedo pedir mas! pues, besa mi culo.
If my bluntness bothers you, that's too bad.
Your bluntness, Witchipoo, is your way of making people hate you on your terms, rather than theirs. You pretty much figure, "I'll make them hate me, on my terms and under my control--before they can hate me on their terms."
I've seen plenty of ideologues (not just feminists) do this. They get hated, all right--not always to their satisfaction.
You'd deserve pity, if you weren't as full of viciousness as a rabid dog. But then "pity, kindness, gentleness, empathy = weakness" in your books. You must've a had a terrible childhood.
By the way, I'm fairly immune to your and Robert's BS, but I can't stand by and watch you and your little Swiss shadow steamroll over the weaker kids on the playground.
