>Here's some good news for all you black folks complaining about racism in America. You don't know how good you have it.
>"In America you can't even talk about whiteness," said Drew Domalick, who lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "If you try to embrace being white, you are portrayed as being a racist. If we had a White History Month, that would be viewed as a racist holiday."
>If you believe in White Privilege, then of course you believe in Black Privilege. "Privilege" is a universal concept that applies to all ethnicities; whether it be the amount of NBA and NFL players, to the BET, to Obama, Cain, and Carson - all forms of black privilege that leaves the true minorities such as Asians, Indians, Muslims, or Hispanics out to be forgotten.
>David Horowitz, author of the book, "Black Skin Privilege and the American Dream," says blacks are still more privileged, though they lag behind other racial groups in varying categories. It's not white privilege that's preventing them from doing better, he says; it's their behavior, such as their inability to build more intact families.
>"The fact that white people are better off is not a privilege; it's earned," says Horowitz, founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a think tank in Los Angeles created to combat "the efforts of the radical left and its Islamist allies to destroy American values."
>"If racial disparities prove discrimination, then the National Basketball Association is racist," Horowitz says. "Probably 90 percent of its players are black."
>Black privilege is so pervasive that it's hard to miss, he says. College professors practicing "affirmative grading" hold black students to lower standards than others. Corporations offer programs and internships to black workers but not to whites.
