Fran Lebowitz on racism
...And what it is like to be white is not to say, “We have to level the playing field,” but to acknowledge that not only do white people own the playing field but they have so designated this plot of land as a playing field to begin with. White people are the playing field. The advantage of being white is so extreme, so overwhelming, so immense, that to use the word “advantage” at all is misleading since it implies a kind of parity that simply does not exist.
It is now common—and I use the word “common” in its every sense—to see interviews with up-and-coming young movie stars whose parents or even grandparents were themselves movie stars. And when the interviewer asks, “Did you find it an advantage to be the child of a major motion-picture star?” the answer is invariably “Well, it gets you in the door, but after that you’ve got to perform, you’re on your own.” This is ludicrous. Getting in the door is pretty much the entire game, especially in movie acting, which is, after all, hardly a profession notable for its rigor. That’s how advantageous it is to be white. It’s as though all white people were the children of movie stars. Everyone gets in the door and then all you have to do is perform at this relatively minimal level.
Additionally, children of movie stars, like white people, have at—or actually in—their fingertips an advantage that is genetic. Because they are literally the progeny of movie stars they look specifically like the movie stars who have preceded them, their parents; they don’t have to convince us that they can be movie stars. We take them instantly at face value. Full face value. They look like their parents, whom we already know to be movie stars. White people look like their parents, whom we already know to be in charge. This is what white people look like—other white people. The owners. The people in charge. That’s the advantage of being white.

>That’s how advantageous it is to be white. It’s as though all white people were the children of movie stars. Everyone gets in the door and then all you have to do is perform at this relatively minimal level.
I'll refute this right now. If what she said was true, white society would have crumbled long ago. Even if you "get your foot in the door", you still have to perform. You don't perform, you don't make the cut. Does she think layoffs and pinkslips don't exist? Nope, whites have to actually do their fucking jobs, because society wouldn't work otherwise. The "foot in the door and then perform at a minimal level" applies far more to affirmative action diversity hires than it ever has to the average white worker.
Her entire post is "waaah white people are better than brown people at everything, it's not faaaair". Hey (((Lebowitz))), why don't you explain the epidemic level of nepotism exhibited by the Jewish people?
>>81212539
Obviously ambition still exists, it just isn't requisite for a comfy white life is the point.
And kikes blow, no doubt. But even a broken clock etc etc

We here are done being browbeaten by the most privileged (((group))) on the planet. And soon all the rest of our people will be too. And once words no longer hold power over us then the real fun starts.
And btw, how many of those legacy actors are jewish? Jews are white only when it suits their goals.
Are all non-white countries under white rule?

>>81212539
I think the point is that the ceiling on performance for an actor isn't that high. In other words, there's a certain skill level at which one actor is as good as another and that skill level isn't hard to reach. At that point who you know tend to determine whether you get the acting job. Of course, something has to determine who gets a job. If there's more qualified actors or X professional than there are acting jobs or X jobs, someone is going to go without a job (or make a movie themselves.) The children of actors always get the job. It's not illegal and I think the analogy kind of breaks down when you ask "what are we supposed to do about it?"

This is all some abstract bullshit that has no real meaning. It's all word salad.

success isnt just GDP you retard
its the amount of crime, the access to medicine and doctors, the access to education
fuck off with this playing field shit, SOME THINGS ARE ACTUALLY OBJECTIVELY BETTER THAN OTHER THINGS, NOT EVERYTHING IS SUBJECTIVE YOU POST MODERNIST FAGGOT

>>81210780
Saying whites are privileged due to doing great things to build a big network to benefit their kind is admitting that whites are superior.
>>81214500
these are unprovablr assertions with a shaky metaphor to prop it up.
the metaphor fails on several points:
1. there are programs to "get your foot in the door" for non whites. they fail at a higher rate than whites and asians. this shows that "foot in the door" problem has been addressed, and also that performance is important
2. as above, performance really is important. to get in but not produce results gets you kicked right back out. look at how many celeb kids (to keep the same metaphor) aren't still actively earning big $. it happens faster when the results aren't subjective/artistic.
3. there are literally thousands of counter examples. non white groups from all over Asia and a few in Africa out perform native whites in income/yr.
in short, our society is largely meritocratic.
if she's complaining that the measuring sticks upon which we measure success are "white" and therefore disadvantage non-whites, then she's lost me. whites set up the rules over thousands of years to benefit clever or talented people. she should look to the bitterness Within Europe of only a few short centuries ago to show that these rules weren't set up to favor a small group by default, but the best in each group.
overall, it's drivel. bad rhetoric.
>>81210780
Who the fuck cares about racism? Do you not see the chess pieces being moved?
You distracting shill bastard
>but to acknowledge that not only do white people own the playing field
It's our countries that we built
The non-whites own the playing field in their countries
Why should we forfeit our own? Oh wait, because you're a jew
So what?
I'm white, and I benefit from this supposed system.
Why would I want to destroy it? How would I benefit from that?

If you could press a button and make society a meritocracy then that would be great.
Unfortunately, "leveling the playing field" means indefinite social experiments that put hard-working white people at a disadvantage and reward people based on their skin colour.
If Native Americans in Canada suddenly hit all the averages of the majority (income, education, health, etc.), do you think the social welfare and "affirmative action" mechanisms would vanish? Of course not, they would argue that they still need time to catch up and it is racist, or some other nonsense.
I work 6-7 days a week as a PhD student for little money. I have a stellar CV, lots of publications, great communication and grant-writing experience, all that good stuff.
I can't tell you how much it pisses me off when that box for "visible minority" and now gender whatever is on every job, bursary, scholarship, etc, application. I literally couldn't compete with a Syrian refugee or black person with 80% of my credentials.

Has there been a clearer illustration of how "white privilege" is a way for Jews to talk about Jew nepotism, but in such a way that places all blame on non-Jews? Her example was effectively Ben Stiller for crying out loud, the lazy entertainer who is himself the child of entertainers.
White Privilege is calling Ozzy and Harriet the Elders of Zion. That is what it is. It is the peasants rising up against the Jew and the Jew tells them to head down the block and kill gentiles instead.
>>81210780
Funny (((Lebowitz))) specificially mentions acting and the kids of actors/actresses, since almost all actors/actresses in Hollyweird are ((( ))). So (((Lebowitz))) is complaining about her own Tribe but trying to make it seem it is the Whites.
>>81219509
It's worse. Most societies -- especially Asians and Middle Easterners -- everything in the whole society is structured against meritocracy. It is only white people who ever tried meritocracy in a serious way, and we're getting attacked, so we can be replaced by Mexicans with their Patrones standing on modern day peasants, Brahmins who murder harijans in broad daylight, and Han who consider Japanese to be African.
>>81210780
is that a man or woman?

Everyone on this planet is nepotistic. this is not to say it's good or bad, it's the reality we have to recognize.
>>81221906
We bring in immigrants, support them with social welfare programs, and when (if) they apply for university or jobs they are at an advantage over the people who worked hard and paid taxes for their benefits.
It's a fucking joke, but god forbid you denounce the anti-white (I mean, "diversity") agenda in front of most professionals. Keep in mind, most of the white-guilt ridden people who support these initiatives are well-off, have good jobs, and will not share neighbourhoods with the riff-raff. They can just feel great about their charitable thoughts without actually doing anything or seeing the repercussions.
Hopefully Trudeau bankrupts Canada and we shift to the right. I never thought I'd say that before, but we need to keep the left-wing in check.

Her analysis of actors is spot on. However, her error is applying this same standard to all white people. She assumes white privilege as an a priori tautology.

>>81210780
Then non-whites should leave and build their own playing fields.
Not our fault that they're all useless.
What about Indian Americans? On average they have a higher median income than whites.
How about Asians? They're discriminated against even more than whites when it comes to college entrance exams.
How do liberals think white privilege exists when Asians can be much more successful than whites?
>>81210780
Is... That a woman ????
>>81226075
all skill baby
advantage is completely subjective and to be judged on a personal basis.
My family owned a printing company that was actually really successful. However a family member of mine bought it from my grandparents, gave 51% to his wife, she divorced him and we lost it within my family.
So I was in line to inherit a company that would of set me up for life, and it got taken away pretty handily. So I work for a living.
I don't mind. But being white hasn't offered me anything. So to sit here and assume I'm privileged because I'm white is no different then assuming every black person lives in poverty because they aren't smart enough to pull themselves out.
Its all baseless generalizations.
>>81218568
it's massive, but not the defining feature of our economy. we pay a guilt tax, but it doesn't stop me from being productive or living a vastly better life than a welfare queen.
I don't agree with the guilt tax, but I recognize that it's far far far away from being anything more than annoying.
