WHITE PRIVILEGE AND “JUSTIFIABLE” ANGER

Everyone seems to accept that white working class Americans are “justifiably” angry because of the steep decline in their standard of living. The U.S. Constitution decrees that Africans are only three-fifths human. And on March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court with its dread Dred Scott decision reconfirmed the “original intent” of the Constitution, declaring that Africans are nothing more than simple property. Furthermore, the Constitution guaranteed to white Americans the right to keep their property, EVEN THE PROPERTY THAT IS THREE-FIFTHS HUMAN.

The Black American’s standard of living continues to be, PER THE CONSTITUTION, at best three-fifths that of white Americans, even of the “justifiably” angry white working class. Whereas white working class anger is acceptable, Blacks are expected to bear their considerable burdens with patience and resignation.

This is precisely what white privilege is all about.
